Mine - about half an hour! But that is showered, shaved etc. :D

ah - a woman talking about a man (i think) getting ready - curious! :)

Depends on where we are going, sometimes it's worth allowing a little extra time without complaining ;)

Yep - I am talking about a man! But you didn't specify male or female, so I thought I'd use it as an opportunity to get some Brownie points! ;)
And it still takes men time to get ready to go out, doesn't it?

:)
indeed I did say partner

Well, in all fairness, I think Croker was aiming his (or her) post at members of both sexes.

BTW, my ex frequently took up to an hour to get ready. I always found it amazing she could spend an hour getting ready, yet go out looking (and smelling) exactly the same as before she got ready. Not that that is a bad thng, she looked and smelled nice anyway.

I take about 30 mins to get ready, less if i cant be arsed to put any make up on, depends where we are going, if its out to a nightclub then its dark and full of alternative kiddies so its not like a lot of effort needs to be put in. :D If i have to have a shower and shave my legs etc it'll take another hour on top, because i never like to get out of the bath once i get in it! :D

Plonking howevere takes FOREVER to get ready i dont know what he does, it often depends on how long his hair is, because if its long it takes longer to spike it all! :D

But his sis takes all day, if shes going out its an all day job, shower in the morning, then doing her hair for about 4 hours, make up, fake tan, trying on a million outfits etc etc etc

O/T, but did you actually mean "Hand" or "Hands"?

I never did find out exactly what took so long. OK, some of the time, I was with her, which does explain the delay for those occassions :naughty:, but a lot of the time, I was sitting in the living room and had no idea what she was doing.

If Mrs MB is doing full shower/ hair / make up/ deciding what to wear routine it can be anything upto an hour and a half. Normally (ie before work or summat) she is showered, dressed and ready to go in about 15-20mins.

I normally take about 15 mins including shower. I have slowed down though... when i was at school, i used to be able to come home from paperround, shower, clean teeth, dress, eat breakfast and then leave the house in 10 minutes :)

you stopped using the straighteners on yours, then :p: :D

Mrs Gaz is pretty good - about an hour for the 'full works', no more than 15-20 minutes otherwise.

Shaving is what delays me - shave/shower/clean teeth/get dressed takes about 20-25 minutes ;)

Not all men are like that.. Even when I am taking my time, I still only take 35-40 minutes to get ready. Normally, I take 10-15.

I was chatting to a cross-dresser at a fetish party recently who commented that since he started he realised that he would *never* again say to a woman "how long does it take you to get ready" or "what do you mean you've got nothing to wear" because he's gained a whole new appreciation of the situation! :)

Now it's not often you can start a sentence like that... :)

My missus can take anything up to 1 and a half hours to get ready - so I always try to get ready first, otherwise I just start pacing and getting frustrated
