Hey, little girl, better wear something pretty

A woman at work was telling me today about a lecture she attended on how to be happily married. Apparently the gist of it, at least on the women's side, was "don't let yourself go."

Was the dial on the time machine set to 1960? I asked.

No, no, my friend said. The lecturer was just pointing out, men are visual, so you should, you know, dress up a little, make sure you look good.

I started to hum:

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up
Soon he will open the door...

It made sense, my friend insisted. The lecturer pointed out that women wear nice clothes and makeup to work, so all day he's around women like that, so if he comes home and you're in sloppy sweats with your hair in a ponytail...

I nearly burst into full song:

Day after day, there are girls at the office
And men will always be men...

I suppose the lecturer also suggested having a pitcher of martinis ready, I said.

My friend decided by that time that I wasn't buying in. Of course, what do I know...I'm divorced.

I also have to note that, for the record, I was at work with no makeup, hair in a ponytail, and wearing baggy khakis, a rugby shirt I've owned since high school, and Doc Marten-looking shoes with a rat bite out of the sole.
I'm just doing it out of respect for the wives of my married male co-workers.
