getting yourself ready

September 26 2014

I have a question question for the ladies How long does it take for you to get ready to go out? it could be for a party, sex party? date? or just going out? I have a friend who can take at least 3 hours to get ready and after about 5 messages and calls to see how her adventure is going, she doesn't bat an eyelid on how long she takes. I met one girl a while ago who after a great night decided to take it back to hers at the time and she took 2 hours to get ready, Ill be honest I feel asleep.

    If it's a last minute, spar of the moment - give me an hr- but I will not FEEL 100% nor sexiest as I would feel like I'm rushed. Now if it's a week planned ahead - yep takes me all week cause I like to take my time and not feel rushed...gotta book the pedi/mani, wax, hair cut...the works! then on the day - it can take me all day depending how I feel, time of month that sort of thing...once I am done, I'm at my finest and SMEXIST! Now if a man has to wait around and fall asleep - that's his problem as I will be busy myself - I don 't have time to entertain if I have to get ready myself...he's just gotta fill in his own time some how. If a man wants a woman at her finest, dam straight he can just wait, till she's all done and looking her best! LOL! Foxy

    For a date or night out about an hour and for a play date between one and two. I don't bat an eyelid either, OP, but I give a time when I'll be ready and I stick to it. (This was a good strategy when I was with my ex, he couldn't complain I was taking to long that way.)

    what is she even for that length of time? An hour at most for me to head out. I don't factor in the mani/pedi or hair during the week as they are regular activities anyway. - Posted from rhpmobile

    For a sexy play night getting ready is half the fun ....nails , hair , tan , wax , make up ...dressing up ...can be an all day affair! However that is when I have time and notice - if it's for a random dinner out with friends and hubby - 15 mins I can be ready to go out ....day to day in my job - 15-20 mins and I am good to face the public ......romantic dinner with hubby - an hour or so as I like to " do " my hair .....I am fast if I need to be but I usually don't give it much thought ......I enjoy " getting ready " ....I am not arrogant enough though to make anyone wait if I set a time ....so I do the " getting ready " on my own time and I am always punctual ! Not sure what she was doing for 2 hours after you'd actually met??? All the prep should have been done already , sounds dodgy to me :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    I just need 1 hour yo get ready. Including hair. But if it is going out to a formal function or dinner will tske me 1.5 hours tops. More dramatic make up I have my prep divided into units of 15mins. 1unit for shower, 1 unit for hair, 1unit for make up and 1 to pick clothes. All up 4units. Lol. Residuals fr havung a dad who was in the army and 5 kids under same roof sharing 1 bathroom. Showers were 5 minutes tops Before school. Clothes closet is organized by colour. Mix n match. Or mainly all black, a norm in melb. I do work with accessories a lot. And then the shoes. ... let's not go there. Lol But for a sexy night in I always dress nice for my lovers. Even when we are just staying in fir drinks or dinner I dress up. A sign of respect for them to say they are worth my time snd energy as I chose to be with them that night or day. I like to feel pretty and make our time always special. Every moment counts. I always tell them how long I will take to set expectations. Very rude to keep a man or anybody waiting anymore than 15mins if I can help it. I always call or text if so.ething comes up. Now traffic and late trains can be another culprit in this saga. I always treat ppreparation like getting ready for a business meeting. But with rhp men, it's monkey business. Lol. - Posted from rhpmobile

    If haven't done any grooming for awhile you can add an additional hour for waxing, epilady, shaving, tweezing, etc. If I plan in advance I would probably get stuff professionally waxed so still extra time and $$$.

    40 and 60 minutes is all it takes as I would have already mentally selected an outfit and shoes and wear minimal makeup. If I have to wash my hair and then deal with it, I add at least another 20 minutes; those who have met me would understand that it takes awhile to tame my locks. Not that it ever looks under control!

    is commendable and you generally look lovely (Natural can also look very lovely & sexy though). However, what do you do first thing the next morning before your date wakes up ?, or does it not matter then, and if does not matter then, why do it the night before, as we all know, guys are easy

    for me to get ready. Usually know what I am wearing. Sometimes I might head to the hair dresser to get my hair done pending on where I am going and who I am going out with. Usually that adds on an extra 30mins. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Very nice, nothing better than ladies that put in some effort to look sexy and good. Lily, you are so organised, that's amazing. Never heard of a lady like you before, you are "special" or "Simply Marvelous" as Richie Benaud would say, or "What a Catch". Soz that cricket forum has got me going. Cheers P.L.

    Depends on the occasion. If its just a girls night out with friends around an hour to allow for hair/make-up & shower. If its an everyday activity I don't wear make-up & chuck my hair up in a ponytail & go casual so it's about 5-10min. Getting ready for a RHP date.... the whole afternoon... shower, shave (everything), all over body moisturiser, facial, eyebrows, make-up trying on about 4 different sets of lingerie to wear under my outfit which I then take another hour or two to decide on. Mr says it's a well organise routine, I say it depends on if the outfit I picked out the night before fits the way its suppose to on the night. lol My room looks like a bombs gone off after getting ready for a date lol & yet my outfit never looks like the perfect image I had in my head the night before :/ Taby xx

    I don't wear much make up and my hair takes 10 minutes thanks to my awesome stylist. Shaving my legs probably takes the most time - I have very long legs...

    There are around two dozen tiny hooks down the front of this contraption I'm wearing. With each hook, I have a take a deep breath, hold and latch on. Once I have all the hooks latched on, I have to twist my arms around the back to do up the lacing. This requires a couple more deep breaths, hold, breathe out. As you can imagine, by the time I have my hooks latched and lace done up, my face is red as a tomato and I'm in a sweat! But is it all worth it? Of course it is. To see the delight on my lover's face, the gleam in his eyes, the awe in his voice as his fingers slowly unlace me are the reasons why we women take our time and make the effort to dress up. It's not only for your pleasure but also for our own :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    I think there is little understood fact that men don't get, I like to spend the time getting an outfit right, not just to attract a guy or a girl, but to feel good about who I am and to show off to other women! It's important, to me anyway, to get and give comments to other girls when their look great. Only we know the time it takes to get it right, or at least to the point when you look in the mirror and see someone sexy looking back. The older we get the longer it takes to feel good. I think it's about care and attention to detail, one comment can make or break a night! Is it vanity? No.. It's more primeval, it's the game of attraction!

    so that I can transfer that feeling to my playmates as well . Feeling good usually takes me about an hour, shower, hair and make-up. Mani/pedi and waxing are regularly scheduled appointments. At a play I want my whole body to say 'I put in a whole lot of effort'. I played with a gorgeous man recently, had my Bridget Jones undies on because I didn't want to drive over an hour to his place and have less than fresh undies on and I couldn't find a service station close to his place to change into my sexy G :) but I was ravaged at his front door and still had the undies on. We both laughed cause he said 'he wouldn't care about the undies'. I do a lot of thinking about what I'm going to wear so that decision is made very early. If its a spontaneous hook-up, my short skirts or dresses and long boots come out :)Mary xx

    When you consider it in terms of the worse daily offenders and rough averages, it adds up to a lot of lost days in one’s lifetime related to a daily ritual of getting ready to go out. For ladies say, around the time of reaching age of 70 = 3193 days For guys say, around the time of reaching age of 70 = 532 days No wonder some guys are more productive in a day lol I rest my case lol it could be useful if ladies specify on their profile, time you will be kept waiting for me to get ready, it may improve your dating appeal

    The next morning? Easy. Never have them to sleepovers if just casuals or just starting out. I always send them home with a kiss and a good pat on their behind.. or if it is at their place, i get up early and leave before the neighbours witness the walk of shame. Always giving the lovely a peck goodbye on the cheek of course. Lol. Only fwbs gets to sleepover and there would be more than a physical connection. I cleanse and moisturise my face before bed. And cream body all over. - Posted from rhpmobile

    If I only have 20 mins, I can make do with that. For something special I will make time, I enjoy the process and it puts me in the right mood, makes me feel sexy and wanton. Deciding what to wear takes the longest, days, weeks even, probably a few shopping trips and several changes with clothes and lacy things thrown everywhere before deciding ;) Hair removal and nails are next, usually in the morning Hair depends on the outfit chosen, If I'm going rockabilly we are talking a day in curlers, if not it an easy upstyle in 10 mins Make up an easy 10 mins Another round of what am I wearing? and find the stockings, up to an hour ;P

    I think men take less time to ready for the simple factor: they don't have makeup, very little hair on head to style and wardrobe selection is not so extensive! Nobody has spoken about the psychological joy of getting ready when you are woman. For a bloke it's about function - which implies speed and efficiency. For a female, it's part of the foreplay… part of creating the mood of feeling sexy and confident. Having said that, there are certainly times where it is more appropriate to spend aggggges grooming, and other times it's just silly. For example, if you are going to be under close inspection for a formal event, it makes sense to have your dress, accessories, hair and so on ship shape and sharp for examination. If you are going on a play date ( or potential play date), having what's under the bonnet looking/feeling the best is just as important! Some women get a full service done through the week - waxing, nails, tans, hair, faulse eyelashes, you name it. Some women don't bother to get themselves serviced, waxed and polished unless they are actually going out somewhere. I'd say… between an hour and 2 hours is fairly normal on the weekend from shower to out the door ( 3 if its a bubble bath and relaxation time too) for an average maintenance female. 3 to 4 hours is a bit much for a date ( unless she needs to put on fake limbs, wigs, going to the Academy awards - or she is undertaking a major engine replacement ). This is my personal and private opinion though. If I were a bloke, I'd find it really annoying and quite boring to have to wait around for someone to take ages getting ready. It's boring enough as a girl. I think its bad manners to keep a guy waiting for hours while to twiddle your bits. 5 mins MAX. Also, if you don't have a 'get ready quick plan B' - get organised and get one!

    on where I'm going and who with, generally it'll be somewhere between 45 mins and an hour and a half. That's not counting the time it would have taken me to earlier decide what I'm wearing, or any hair removal which I may or may not do depending on the plans in place. I have to admit, whilst I love the end product of getting dressed and made up, I hate the process of doing it. And I always manage to underestimate the time it's going to take me. Particularly if I'm wearing full makeup which I rarely do these days (I am a complete noob at putting eyeshadow on). And don't get me started on hair....one of the reasons I keep my hair long is it's actually less fuss than short hair. Shorter hair almost invariably involves some sort of styling to look decent, whereas with my hair if I can't be bothered to do a full wash, blow dry, straighten, blah blah, then I can just stick my head upside down, spray with some texturiser, and voila

    Like Lily, a well organised one hour. Although my make up is slapped on in 5 mins, thanks to many years of practise. If I am meeting someone special, some supersoft body lotion and perfume so I feel and smell nice. I think its good manners to make an effort to meet a man who is clearly taken with you, and show him that he is appreciated. And always, always, some nice lingerie underneath. I cant afford beauty salons so do my nails weekly and use self tan mousse. So, one hour tops.

    Anywhere between half an hour to an hour , depending on the occasion . Guess if it's non formal , half an hour .. Date etc around the same as i don't fuss over tons of make up never really worn it except mascara sometimes so I don't have that hassle . Hmm .. Special occasion or sex with someone special lol .. between 40 minutes to an hour . Oh and @ Simplelife123 .. I'm confused .. she took 2 hours to get ready for what .. sex lol or to go out with you again .. ?

    I hate being rushed, for work I take about 45 mins from shower to door. For a date about 2hrs though less if I've had waxing etc done the day before. I do it for myself too, it feels good to put the best version of yourself forward- it builds that frisson and desire on a date.
