You are certainly right, Gershon ! Everyone approves a girl looking in the mirror... very often ! When men do it, it is seen as something odd....

Exactly, Valsa. Hmmm. Do you think I should complain to Joe Biden's 'Equity Czar?' This is rank discrimination. lol. I think I'll save my breath. ~ Gershon

(chuckling) You certainly make a valid point here, gw. Young girls, in particular, find it difficult to pass up a mirror.

So true, Milt. But if we men dare spend a second or three in front of one, we are accused of 'preening.' ~ No fair to Local 1103, 'Mirror-Peerers!'
