Just wondering because sometimes I feel out of the loop. For example I have never had or any desire to; -had a manicure or pedicure -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner -worn lipstick -owned yoga pants or fitbit -used a hair dryer or colored my hair -carried a purse -changed a diaper -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches -had a spray tan -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house -worn thong underware -worn "shapewear" -wanted or had children -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear
Does anyone else have noncompliant women behaviors?

I've done most of those things between 17 and 22, mostly in relation to prom or weddings. As I approach 40, I don't do the majority of the things on your list.
I do have a couple pairs of yoga pants but never wear them in public. I do wear a little makeup when the situation calls for it. I do color and blow dry my hair. Last time and later this week, I went colorful. I'm going gray fast. Why not have fun?

Overly stereotypical but I'll play along. Hmmm sort of similar to your list with a few exceptions...I love purses! And oh how I wish I could wear those flattering leg slimming gorgeous heels I see on Pinterest but kitten heels are about as high as I can handle. Oh and I do love me a good salon visit, cut, color, pampering...bring it on.
But yes I've never:
-been in a Lou Lou lemon (and I live in BC) not a yoga pants wearer at all. -had desire for manis and pedis. Have had one of each. Nails for wedding a dozen years ago and one pedi for a beach vacation that I got an infection from. Never again thanks. -worn fake eyelashes but I do love me a good mascara. -now that I have a child I'm a fearless bug killer lol. You know that bug could be super dangerous, right! Lol
-had a spray tan or any fake tan for that matter that stuff scares me

-had a manicure or pedicure.................. One of my favourite activities. Though generally I do my own. -worn false eyelashes...Fake eyelashes became my BFF when I underwent chemo. Haven't worn them since. lol -worn lipstick...Hate lipstick but have a serious addiction to lipgloss/lip balm. As in if it's been manufactured in the past 5 years and it's a gloss or balm, I own it. -owned yoga pants or fitbit... Have 1 pair of yoga pants, rarely wear them and never in public. Love my Fitbit. -used a hair dryer or colored my hair...No hair dryer. Never dyed my hair, except spray in/wash out for Halloween. -carried a purse...Another addiction ( ihave my own closet just for shoes and purses) -changed a diaper... Oldest of 5 children so yep,lots of them. -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches... Don't care about my neuropathy I am NOT giving up my beautiful,feminine,sexy shoes for anything or anyone...until I have absolutely no choice. Plus I have a very high arch and flat shoes kill my feet. -had a spray tan...Never and won't ever. I am and will always be the whitest woman on the planet. -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house...Not playing, truly hate HATE bugs. Spiders and those abnormal million legged things. Ugh (shudder) why does anything have that many legs?!?! No way, I close the door and let my husband deal with it when he gets home. -worn thong underware..Wore them all the time, until I discovered boy shorts. -worn "shapewear"...Nope, never and won't happen. This is my shape, like it or don't, I'm not smooshing my internal organs just to look better in a dress that's obviously way too tight to begin with. lol -wanted or had children...Didn't have a choice, the cancer made this decision for me. -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear... All the time. Not excessively so but yeah I want to look pulled together, no interest on looking homeless or like a 3 year old allowed to dress themselves for the first time. I guess I'm more girly girl than I thought. lol Only thing I can think of is full face makeup. It's not my thing and I don't understand it. To me makeup should enhance what you have naturally not look like a mask. but to each their own.

I do a lot of things on your list -- mostly because it's more practical for me. -had a manicure or pedicure I do my own nails. I have nice nails and I like them polished. I never had pedicures until I turned 50 and my feet got old and dry. Now I love pedicures -- make my feet feel great and look nice. -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner -worn lipstick I wear makeup most days. Nothing over the top. I've never worn false eyelashes. -owned yoga pants or fitbit Love my fitbit, and I have lots of workout pants that I wear when I sweat. -used a hair dryer or colored my hair I don't like the way my hair dries naturally -- flat and weirdly wavey. I've colored it since I started going gray in college. -carried a purse I need a purse for all the crap I carry from place to place. It lets me keep my hands free while I'm out. I don't have enough pockets for it all. -changed a diaper I babysat lots of babies when I was young, and have two of my own. -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches I used to until I had a foot injury and don't any more. -had a spray tan Neither spray tan nor tanning bed -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house I'm terrified of spiders, but I'm happy to rid the house of all the mice, chipmonks, snakes, and the odd bird that the cats bring in. -worn thong underware Nope, I like boy shorts -worn "shapewear" Once in a while if I have a dress that's too thin fabric. I don't like looking lumpy. -wanted or had children -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear I don't spend much time. I don't have that many clothes, so it's pretty easy.
ETA: I can't think of any more -- took me a while to think about all these, LOL!

Always have my nails done but I do them myself. If I'm going anywhere I might see someone I know, like work or the Dr, etc, I'm in full makeup. If I'm just going to the store, I probably have glasses and a ponytail.
Love my shapewear, workout gear, neon running shoes.
I almost never wear jewelry anymore other than plain silver hoop earrings.
I'm always carrying a nice purse, I have a lot of them. I don't buy them anymore though, I'm a recovered purse addict!

had a manicure or pedicure I've had manicures but never a pedicure. I hate my feet being touched, the idea of someone rubbing or massaging my feet gives me the wiggins. -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner My own lashes are good so no falsies, I do love playing with different looks on my eyes though. -worn lipstick Lipstick and lipgloss are essentials to me. -owned yoga pants or fitbit No yoga pants or a fitbit. -used a hair dryer or colored my hair My hair dries like a disaster zone if it's left alone so I blow dry. I haven't coloured my hair for years but it has at some point been a variety of colours, black, blonde, red, blue and green. -carried a purse No outfit is complete without a handbag, I don't actually carry much stuff in it it's just a finishing touch. -changed a diaper I worked in childcare so I've changed many a poopy bum. -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches I love heels but don't wear them often anymore. -had a spray tan No, I don't tan in any shape or form. I'm happy with my glow in the dark natural skin colour. -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house I hate bugs, I'm not playing helpless. That's kind of condescending. -worn thong underware Always for the sexy fun times. -worn "shapewear" No. -wanted or had children No to both. -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear The struggle is real. I like choosing clothes and making outfits. It's fun.

Fun thread! I have gotten a manicure twice and a pedicure once. My feet are so ugly, that I am too embarrassed! I do my own nails, to me it's not worth getting them done when they will chip in a couple days. Also, with three messy girls and a dog, I feel like all i do is clean, so they probably get chipped fast because of that. Most women I know don't get their nails done or do them themselves, but I see many in public that do their nails. I notice the pretty nails of cashiers often. I ask what color their polish is, but they get gel manicures, so they just have a number! Never colored my hair, don't need to. But I am in my mid-40s, so will probably have to soon! Most women I know do color their hair and had to since their 30s. So I am glad my brown hair has stayed brown! Never play helpless with bugs, and neither do my husband or our girls. Most women and men I know just deal with them. Some even let them go outside. Spiders and snakes scare me more than the rest, mice makes my husband insane! I have always used a purse, but never an expensive one, can't afford it. And I am too picky! My teen daughters and most of their friends don't even own a purse. They just put money and their phones in their pocket. They think purses are for "old" ladies, like women in their 30s and older! Crazy kids! I used to have a lot of clothes and spend time deciding what to wear. Then I had kids, and with all their activities, clothes, saving for college, etc., I don't buy many new clothes hardly ever. I do love Kohl's summer shorts, so that's the only thing I usually buy. I have 2 pairs of jeans, and capri sweats that I wear at home. Thongs - that would drive me crazy! Never had a spray tan, but many girls and boys at my kids school get them for Homecoming and prom (for seniors). Yes, many boys do too!

Hahha....
I've done all of those things save play helpless when confronted with a bug. I'm the bug getter in my house. DH is terrified of spiders and will smash them, but I'm a catch and release woman when it comes to spiders.

I've had both a mani and two pedis. Notice I used the singular. The mani was for a sister's wedding and they put artificial tips on my nails to reshape them. I hated it. They hurt so bad. Neither pedi did a darn thing about my calluses and I can paint my toenails myself. I don't see the point if they aren't going to help the one thing I would need professional help with. Never worn false eyelashes. I had no idea how to even use them until my youngest started dance. I own one pair of yoga pants and I never leave the house in them except to exercise. No fit bit. Hate lipstick. It feels gross and I don't like bringing that much attention to my mouth. Never worn thong underwear or had a spray tan. Once in a great while I will take longer to choose my outfit, but most days I just grab and go.

-had a manicure or pedicure - I do my own nails once in a while but most of the time I go without -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner - Never wore false eyelashes but used to wear make-up every day when I was younger. Now I just wear it on special occasions.
-owned yoga pants or fitbit - I have a few pairs of yoga pants that I wear mainly at home but also to my meditation group. No Fitbit.

-worn thong underware - I generally go without any at all but when needed I did wear thongs until I discovered boyshorts.
-worn "shapewear" - not the heavy duty stuff but I don't like to look lumpy so I wear something light to smooth things out as needed.
-wanted or had children - DD was a surprise and I am very glad we have her but I never had a burning desire to have kids.
-spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear - Maybe a little longer than 5 minutes.... But I do spend a little longer when it's a special occasion.

I never got pedis in my youth. Now I find it harder to bend over and not make a mess. My pedi polishes last at least 3 weeks That's regular polish, not gel.

Some of these I've done and don't do any more,
some I never did when I was young, but now I do,
some I wouldn't consider doing in a million years
and some, like changing a diaper, obviously go along with the territory of having a child, which up until the age of 40, I said I'd never do, but did, because
as women and human beings, we have the right to grow and change and try stuff and reject stuff and figure out who we are and what we like in our brief stay on earth. So this post, which suggests a sense of judginess and moral superiority and misogyny really rubs me the wrong way.

Had a manicure or pedicure--Never had a manicure or pedicure but did have acrylic nails once. I could not wait to get them off!! I hated them!! My nails are dry and brittle, but I am okay with that.
Worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner--Haven't done that since I was a teenager and blue eye shadow was the rage. LOL!!
Worn lipstick--Never wore lipstick but did use lip-gloss during the flavored, roll on gooey phase in the 70's
Owned yoga pants or fitbit--I have never worn yoga pants and don't have a fitbit. Does wearing sweat pants count? I love my sweat pants.
Used a hair dryer or colored my hair--I have used a hair dryer since I was about 11. It is the only way I can tame my naturally curly hair. And since I started going gray about 10 years ago, I color my hair but try to keep it my natural color.
Carried a purse--I always carry a purse. I have to much junk to try to keep up with.
Changed a diaper--More times than I can count! I am mom of two and mamaw of two.
Worn spike heels or higher than a few inches--Never!! I do good to keep my balance when walking in flat shoes. Birkenstock are my only choice of shoes. I have really wide feet and nothing else fits comfortably.
Had a spray tan--No spray tan but have gone to a tanning bed a few times. Tried self tanners but ended up orange. Played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house--The playing is real! I am terrified of spiders.
Worn thong underwear--Never!! Can't stand wedgies so thongs are not for me. LOL!!
Worn shape-wear--No, nothing will help my shape.
Wanted or had children--Wanted lots of children but feel blessed to have two daughters.
Spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear--On occasion, but that is because I hadn't done laundry yet.
I also seldom wear jewelry. My wedding set is all that I wear on a regular basis.
My oldest DD is very girly and loves all things girly. She never goes out without being totally put together from makeup to clothes to jewelry.

-I've never had a manicure/pedicure. If I decide to treat myself, I'll go for a massage -I don't do dresses or skirts. Hate them. No thanks. I will wear dress pants and a blouse. -No heels either. I don't own a pair. - I don't do purses but I carry a bag. Lug "purses" are acceptable since they have lots of organizational pockets LOL. Most of my bags come from hiking stores. -I don't even know what shapewear is?? - I love yoga pants and my FITBIT - I'm not a makeup person but I will wear a bb cream to even out the redness in my skin. I never wear eyeshadow, eyeliner or even perfume. Not my thing. Addicted to Burt's Bees lip balm. -I don't take long to figure out what to wear. I have about 5 work outfits that I cycle through. I do workshops in schools so I'm at a different location every day. I could wear the same thing every day and no one would notice. haha. -I've changed diapers. I have 3 kids. -I colour my hair every 3 months. Love the way it looks. Lots of colour and shine. -I despise weddings, showers and general "hen" parties. I'd rather play in mud. -No thong underwear, no spray tans, rarely jewelry except my wedding band. I don't see this thread as being all "judgie". Do want you want and be happy

-had a manicure or pedicure Never had a professional manicure or pedicure. I can't stand the feeling of anything on my nails.
-worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner I've worn eye makeup on the rare occasion, but it makes my eyes itch uncontrollably so I avoid it. Never used false lashes although they can look nice on other people.
-worn lipstick Maybe once every five years or so, but I do have an impressive collection of lip balm (that I also almost never use).
-owned yoga pants or fitbit No to the fitbit, yes to the yoga pants and I sometimes do wear them out of the house. Horrors!
-used a hair dryer or colored my hair No to coloring, yes to the dryer but only if I need to look decent right away when leaving the house or it's winter and I don't want to go outside with wet hair.
-carried a purse Yes. Have to. I have too much junk. And now that I have a kid, I have twice as much junk in there.
-changed a diaper Countless diapers in my lifetime. I have over a dozen nieces and nephews that I babysat as a teen, plus my own kid.
-worn spike heels or higher than a few inches Only for my wedding, and that was insane.
-had a spray tan Never.
-played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house Never. The vacuum is your friend, people!
-worn thong underware Ugh, NEVER. I would go commando first.
-worn "shapewear" Only within the last five years, and only twice. I'm horribly out of shape.
-wanted or had children No for decades, but my DH wanted one so much and it rubbed off on me eventually. Stopped with my one kid (that I'm very happy to have), but you couldn't pay me to go through that experience again. Ironically enough (and to DH's surprise), our kid turned out to be my Mini Me so DH gets outvoted all the time on stuff now!
-spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear Most days it doesn't matter and I don't care too much as long as it's clean. Other times I have a hard time because something doesn't look as good on as I've imagined it should and I change my mind.

I don't often see anyone here condemn women for not keeping up beauty regimes, only for putting in the effort. I've always found that a interesting part of the Pea Experience.

I've never worn shapewear because: it's expensive, it looks uncomfortable, I'm not sure I could get it off and I'm lazy. But I might consider it for an upcoming event. It scares me.
No fitbit but yes yoga pants.
No fake eyelashes for pretty much the same reasons as the shapewear.
No playing scared about bugs. Dh is taller so he usually handles crawling things. But I can squash a bug if I can reach it. I'm terrified of flying stinging things so those are all his. But not playing helpless there.

-had a manicure or pedicure: I love a good mani-pedi, but haven't had one in almost a year. -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner: Yes to all three, but rarely use much more than mascara now. -worn lipstick: Yes, most days I wear a ligh pink gloss, but have and love my red lipstick! -owned yoga pants or fitbit: No to both. Love my sweats, though! -used a hair dryer or colored my hair: Yes, in the past. My hair is in a transition right now and isn't cooperative at all, so I usually mouse or gel the curls and let it be. I went red at 16 and was some shade of red up until about a year ago. I'm getting a lot of white/silver hair and I rather like it. So I'm letting it do whatever it wants. -carried a purse: I keep a purse in my car with necessary stuffs, but only carry it when I'm working. My cell phone case is my wallet and I usually just carry it. -changed a diaper: Too many to count. Lol -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches: I miss heals. But my legs are shot so shoes must be supportive and nothing over about an inch. -had a spray tan: Nope. I'm porcelain completed and happy with that. -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house: no playing. Seriously, I would pay someine to kill a bug. Eeeekkkkk! But if I have to, I can dispose of them myself. If they aren't too big. Eeeekkkkk! -worn thong underware: Once. Only once. Butt floss isn't my thing. -worn "shapewear": Nope. -wanted or had children: Never wanted kids, but God gave me a DS whom I love more than chocolate and I'm thankful for him most days. -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear: Not often. Did I mention I love sweats? Lol My dad always said I was the son he always wanted. I can fix engines, wire a lamp, refinish walls and floors, build stuff, etc. Mom only got a few early years to doll me up.

Just wondering because sometimes I feel out of the loop. For example I have never had or any desire to; -had a manicure or pedicure - I have but not in many years. I do my own toes but haven't put polish on my fingernails in close to 15 years. -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner - no false eyelashes though I've considered them as my lashes have gotten shorter as I've gotten older. -worn lipstick yes, but I'm not obsessive about it. I rarely remember to touch it up when I'm away from the house. -owned yoga pants or fitbit - Yoga pants, yes, Fitbit, no mainly because I'm too cheap to buy one -used a hair dryer or colored my hair - just colored my hair this morning, use a hairdryer every day -carried a purse - yes and am very picky about the size. It can't be too big, have a zippered main compartment. I want my purse to be as efficient as possible -changed a diaper I hope to make it to my grave never have done this. -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches - In my 20's I wore about 2 1/2 to 3 inch heels routinely for work as we all did in the 80's. Now my knees do not allow heels. -had a spray tan - never though I've tried the Jergens tanning lotion that just gives you a hint of color. -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house - I'll kill a bug if DH isn't here but if he is, that's his job. -worn thong underware - Never! -worn "shapewear" - not yet. -wanted or had children - I vaguely wanted them when I was in my early 20's but that notion passed quickly. -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear - here is where you have me. I can spend quite a bit of time putting together outfits depending on the occasion
Does anyone else have noncompliant women behaviors?
I think some people really want someone to do activities with. If not with their significant other, then with a girlfriend. I enjoy my friends but I'm perfectly happy doing things on my own. Actually I try to get away one day a month for a solitary activity. But then maybe lots of women do this, I don't know.
I'm not a hugger. I will do this as expected with close friends but I could do without it.

-had a manicure or pedicure - I used to love getting manicures abs giving then to myself, but now I work with my hands too much to have it be worth it. I go for pedicures in the summer. -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner - I have only worn fake eyelashes a handful of times. I like them but I need someone else to put them on for me. I wear eyeshadow almost every day. -worn lipstick - I'm not much of a lipstick person but I do enjoy lip gloss and lip balm. -owned yoga pants or fitbit - I have both and love them. -used a hair dryer or colored my hair - I use a hair dryer daily. I used to color my hair but it has been at least 8 years. -carried a purse - always carry a purse -changed a diaper - can't say that I have ever had the desire to change a diaper, but I used to be a nanny and I babysit my niece often. I have to change those diapers. -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches - I like wedges for heels -had a spray tan - never had a proper spray tan but I do use gradual tanning lotion. -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house - I mean I am fine to kill a bug but I would rather someone else do it. -worn thong underwear* - have them for certain outfits -worn "shapewear" - have it for certain outfits -wanted or had children - I want children but it hasn't been working out :/ -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear - me neither but I can be the type to choose an outfit, put it on and then change my mind.

Some of these I've done and don't do any more, some I never did when I was young, but now I do, some I wouldn't consider doing in a million years and some, like changing a diaper, obviously go along with the territory of having a child, which up until the age of 40, I said I'd never do, but did, because as women and human beings, we have the right to grow and change and try stuff and reject stuff and figure out who we are and what we like in our brief stay on earth. So this post, which suggests a sense of judginess and moral superiority and misogyny really rubs me the wrong way. I haven't seen a bit of "moral superiority", much less misogyny, on this thread at all. The only judginess I see here seems like it's from you, to be honest. I only see curiosity. I'm sure the judges will arrive, though, and they're usually in the form of "I can't believe how many women waste time dyeing their hair, they should just embrace the gray like I do, I keep it real, men like real women who don't paint their faces with a bunch of crap, I'd never waste money on fake whatever". I don't often see anyone here condemn women for not keeping up beauty regimes, only for putting in the effort. I've always found that a interesting part of the Pea Experience. I agree! I find a lot of the things on this list fun, and some would be fun if I could afford it! And it's not just women that have a "beauty" routine. Many of my friends say that our husbands spend way more time in the bathroom getting ready than we do and are more into clothes (and have more) that we women do. Even my high school daughters say the boys seem to care more about their appearance than the girls do. I think it's just a personal preference, but not just something women do. Just my thoughts though!

-had a manicure or pedicure I have never done either. -worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner I wore eye shadow when I was young and would like to again but don't know what would look good on me now. I wear eyeliner whenever I wear make-up (about 2/3 of the time) and have never tried fake lashes. -worn lipstick I cannot stand lipstick, but I do like to wear Burt's Bees lip shimmers when I wear make-up. -owned yoga pants or fitbit I own yoga pants for exercise purposes and I used my husband's old fit bit for a while, but gave it up. -used a hair dryer or colored my hair I use a hair dryer daily on my bangs and the world is thankful. I also dry all of my hair about half the time. I have never colored my hair. At 48, some gray is starting to come in, but with my hair color no one can tell. -carried a purse I have always carried a purse. I have too much stuff to carry around. -changed a diaper Hahahaha. I have four kids of my own and have taken care of others. -worn spike heels or higher than a few inches Pretty much the same as me. I am 5'11" and much taller than my husband. -had a spray tan Never have and never will. I'm sure it wouldn't go well for me. -played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house I had a terrible phobia of spiders for most of my life. I live where we have wolf spiders the size of your hand. They are hunters and they are FAST. I have definitely begged my parents (as a child) and husband to take care of them if they are around but there is no way I would let one go if I were alone so I kill them. The phobia is much better, but I still don't want to be around a wolf spider. -worn thong underware I only wear them occasionally with certain nightwear. -worn "shapewear" No, but I will wear a regular slip with a thin, unlined dress. -wanted or had children Wanted them, had them. -spent more than five minutes deciding what to wear Daily, no, but I have definitely had those days where nothing seemed to fit right.

Yes I hate to shop.
Do not have many shoes and no heels or sandals/flip flops.
I recently got a manicure (finally stopped biting my nails) but do not get the appeal. Tried to do my own polish afterwards and don't really like it.
I do not carry a purse.
I also hate to cook.

-worn false eyelashes, eye shadow or liner - no false eyelashes but I wear shadow and liner whenever I wear makeup which is most everyday
-worn lipstick - yes
-owned yoga pants or fitbit - love my yoga pants but I only wear them at home. And they are cheap ones from WM. Love them!
-used a hair dryer or colored my hair - yes and yes
-carried a purse - yes. I like quantity over quality in my purses. I love to get one I love for a great (cheap) price.
-changed a diaper - yep, I have 2 DDs
-worn spike heels or higher than a few inches- yes, on occasion
-had a spray tan - maybe once, but only for a very special occasion
-played helpless when confronted with a bug in the house - nope. I kill it myself or scoop it up in a cup and put it outside.
-worn thong underware - only when I know my DH will get to see it.
-worn "shapewear" - yep, my girlfriends and I call it our 'magic underwear'.
-wanted or had children - yep, I have 2.
