bbGirl: Jaime L.

Saskatoon, Saskatchwan

BBGirls: Jaime L. What do I think makes a better guy? First, I was going to say honesty, brutal honesty. Simply put, I'm not much into playing games. Then, I realized that I much prefer tactful honesty. A backhanded compliment is still a backhand. It doesn't matter if it was supposed to say something nice. Think about phrasing. For example, don't say, "That would look fantastic on a thinner person." One of my recent personal favorites is "You're not looking any fatter." Instead, maybe somthing along the lines of, "That's a great dress, but it does not do you justice."

Basically, what I want is that you don't lie to me, don't just say what you think I want to hear, but don't be an idiot about speaking your mind. Think a moment bdfore speaking. Keep in mind, a pause is fine -- stalling isn't. So, I guess you have to be pretty quick on your feet with me in order to phrase the truth tactfully. That, in addition to a sense of humor. . . if you can pull off a tactless, but honest response that makes me laugh, you're not going to offend me.

Be Better Guys: Green Grooming ProductsMost guys probably don’t consider the environment when they shave, but with Al Gore winning a Nobel Prize, that might have to change. Fortunately, there are green products available for men. The Body Shop has made environmentally-responsible products for years. Destination products give you green, good stuff and a geography lesson on the packaging. Another option is California North for face and hair, certified safe for animals or the environment. Look great and save a tree, or something.
