DU Ladies: Do you have CFM hair?

[supernova]

I think I do. This comes from LynnSin talking about her CFM pumps. :evilgrin:

Let me explain.

I color my hair to keep the gray under control and not look older than I am. There. I said it. Mostly it's been kind of a dark blonde color (I'm fair-skinned and blue-eyed), nothing too out there.

Well, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a different, lighter shade than I normally use. This kit was fun because it was base color plus highlighter. Weeee! :bounce:

Since then, I've met two guys worth dating. This has never happened in my entire life! And gotten all kinds of compliments I've never noticed before.

I'm not complaining but what is it with guys and long, blonde hair? LOL!

[Bertha Venation]

1. case file memorandum hair?

That's what I think when I see CFM. I work too much.

[supernova]

8. Geez Bertha, you a kpharmer need

to get out more. "Case File Memorandum?"

CFM = Come F*** Me

LynnSin was talking about a pair of shoes the other day and used this expression. ;-) I thought it was funny.

[Bertha Venation]

22. oh, yeah...

I know what FM pumps are, and I figured out what the "C" was.

No question though: I am a prude. At an outdoor event today someone suggested I take off my denim shirt -- I'm wearing a tank top under it -- but I demurred because my bra straps show. You should've seen the eyes roll.

[supernova]

23. At the Marcia Ball concert

the other night, there was a woman there who had on a very lovely burgundy, A-line cocktail dress for dancing. It was a straigh-across neckline with spaghetti straps.

She had on transparent bra straps. I found myself dying to know if the whole bra was like that or just the straps. LOL! But I didn't ask.

[Bertha Venation]

24. I'd've asked!

In the crowd at a Marcia Ball concert, certainly she would've demonstrated. . . .

I love Marcia Ball. Mrs. V. turned me on to her.

[GOPisEvil]

25. You went to see Marcia Ball?!?!

Awesome! :thumbsup:

I see her all the time. She comes to trivia night at my favorite pub. I guess she won't be there tonight, if she's on the road. :D

[supernova]

28. Yeah, Baby!

Marcia was at the Durham Armory Saturday night.

She's Awesome!! The concert was hosted by the Triangle Swing Dance Society.

Unfortunately my date is not a dancer so we spent a lot of time watching. Oh well.

Marcia tore the roof off that sucka!!

She seems very personable.

[GOPisEvil]

29. She's very nice!

And TALL!!! :D

[supernova]

35. Yeah, I noticed

She's as tall as the rest of her band. I will say again: they were SMOKIN'.

Does she have a website? I'd like to have some of her music, but I couldn't buy it right then.

[VelmaD]

26. I have one of those...

and with mine it is only the straps that are transparent.

[Kat45]

27. It's just the straps that are transparent.

They even have bras now with interchangable straps, some of which are transparent. Some others are meant to be seen. I think either Frederick's of Hollywood or Victoria's Secret (or both) makes them.

[supernova]

36. I've seen the interchangable straps

just not the transparent ones.

I'm not sure, though. I think I still would have gone the traditional strapless route. ;-)

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. I'm pretty sure they have those at Fredericks

I seem to recall seeing them on the Website. The rest of the bra is white, but the straps are clear for under sheer/strapless type stuff.

[Zookeeper]

2. So, it's true...

that blondes have more fun?

[sus]

3. i'm a natural blonde

and no one ever compliments me.

what the HELL?????!

[jdsmith]

13. "Natural blonde"

In _Tough Guys Don't Dance_, the narrator says that he really LIKES fake blondes but not natural blondes. Natural blondes just happened to have been born that way. But fake blondes have bought into all the symbolism of blondeness--they know what it means and that's what they're aiming for. CFM, indeed.

[apnu]

4. no offense but...

... blond hair... feh! Brunettes are the best!

[LynzM]

5. Elaborate on what CFM means and

Then I'll answer :D

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. Man, that term bothers me. Yet it doesn't seem to bother women I know.

Curious.

[VelmaD]

9. Which term exactly?

CFM?

I'm interested in what it is about that expression that bothers you.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. I don't know. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Maybe I just think it's crude, and breaks the whole complex game of flirtation and seduction down to a simple order/request. I honestly don't know.

[VelmaD]

14. I guess I don't see it quite that way

Not as an order so much as a very straight-forward invitation. :)

[supernova]

15. Well, it certainly breaks

it down into essential elements and dispenses with the preliminaries. But that doesn't mean I don't want to skip any of those steps. }(

[Fenris]

19. I agree. Something about the term irks me.

[supernova]

37. Well Fenris, it DOES take 2

to tango, n'est pas?

[Zookeeper]

41. Does it suggest "no challenge?"

I remember using a similar term years ago in a disparaging way: "Knock Me Down and F*** Me Pumps."

[VelmaD]

7. Yes...yes I do...

I have long dark brown hair (with a teeny bit of red) almost all the way down to my hips. It just falls down my back in wild loose curls. Guys who have no desire to "do" me have been known to run their fingers through it without even thinking about it. And I can't tell you how many men I've been with who seemed to constantly want to have a fistful of my hair.

All that being the reasons I keep my hair the way it is. :)

[supernova]

12. VelmaD, I knew you would understand

LOL! :D

It's funny to me at nearly 42 to be approaching something like "babehood."

[SOteric]

33. I receive many flattering comments

about my hair and I've not suffered the lack of attention from potential suitors since puberty. :hi:

I know men who are attracted to every hair colour. I suspect the reason you're getting so much notice lately is that you're happy with the effect and 'broadcasting' a more self-confident vibe.

[supernova]

39. You're probably right about that SOteric

I did like the way it turned out, plus I'm now on the slender side too.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. No, I have LBW hair....

Long, brunette and wavy. :hi:

[supernova]

16. And I bet your very

attractive too. :hi:

[Demobrat]

17. I have poker straight brown/blonde hair that bleaches out

naturally in the sun. The longer it gets the more attention I get. It's almost comical.

[supernova]

20. This is what I'm talking about

It's the Hair!

I don't dress differently; I don't speak or act differently than I did two weeks ago. It's funny. :D

This sure is going to be one very interesting summer! B-)

[Demobrat]

38. You wanna really attract trouble?

Get a tan.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. yes i do...

i dont have blonde hair...its better than blonde...atleast i think so

[MuseRider]

21. CFM hair?

I think that is hysterical! Love it. No orders, just INTENSE flirtation. I started putting blonde in my hair about 7 years ago for fun and because my hair is light brown and kinda mousy looking. Getting close to 50 with mousy hair was kind of a drag so now it is all light brown with lots of blonde highlights. In the summer we lighten it up and add a tiny bit of lavendar to the blonde and it really looks amazing. Everyone I knew raved about it when I started and nobody believes I am 50 (Shhhh, they are being polite, I KNOW that!) but it is still nice. Yup, more flirting with the blonde.

[Delano]

30. Best hair ever, hands down is...

Debra Messing on "Will & Grace".

Julia Louis-Dreyfus also had really nice hair...

I totally don't care for the blonde thing. I like Uma Thurman, but she doesn't need to be blonde...

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. I had too much of the wrong kind of fun as a blonde...

I had to go back to my true brunette self to get any sleep.

:spank:

[supernova]

34. LMAO!!

I hope that is true for me as well, fudge stripe cookays! :bounce: :bounce: :evilgrin:

[rbnyc]

40. I have CFM everything.

I can't help it. It's just my energy.

:evilgrin:

[JuniperLea]

42. mine is very long and very thick and golden blond

my hair is to my waist... used to be below my butt... long, very thick and blond. it gets a lot of attention. funny thing is that my boyfriend is always saying how much he prefers darker hair! brother! i fell in love with the one guy who isn't nuts over long blond hair!

[SarahB]

43. I guess I do

I like my hair long and it's blonde (I'm always switching around the variety of blonde every few years), but I'd guess I'd qualify under this qualifier. I get complimented on how I look a lot lately, but looking nice for me right now and having anyone express an interest in the circumstances of my life is rather like a form of torture in some respects.

[geniph]

44. Mine's fanny-length and red

I get a lot of compliments on it, but I got a lot more heads turning and immediate attention when it was blonde. Blonde hair just catches people's eye more quickly.

What's funny is that I didn't start out coloring it. I started out swimming twice a day, then when I stopped, I had two-tone hair, because the roots hadn't been exposed to chlorine. People started asking me why I no longer dyed my hair. I got tired of answering that question by explaining that I no longer swam daily, so I finally started dyeing it so people would quit asking why I didn't dye it!

These days, I add a little more red that Mother Nature intended to cover up the grey that she does intend. It's reddish anyway, I just make it a bit brighter. I like it a lot, but there's no question I got more immediate attention with long blonde hair. Some guys have an out and out fetish for really long blonde hair.

But I prefer the guys with a bit of a fetish for redheads. :evilgrin:

[WoodrowFan]

45. related punchline

so the blond says "why, don't you have a vase?"
