God love them, but we must all think the average male is a very delicate creature altogether, at least if these findings are anything to go by. A survey released today has found that the average female has eight beauty secrets she hides from her partner. The findings emerged in a study of 2,000 women which shows many spend hours taking "hidden measures" to look "naturally beautiful" every day. Apparently, we all hate the thought of our other halves knowing about our plucking, waxing and shaving routines, preferring them to believe we're all naturally hairless everywhere except our heads, and perhaps a neatly trimmed/waxed nether region. We're also keen to keep the Bridget Jones knickers to ourselves, hiding any evidence of body slimming underwear. Siobhan McDermott, General Manager for feelunique which conducted the study of 2,000 women said: "This study shows just how private women are about their beauty regime - no one wants their partner to think they aren't naturally beautiful with wonderful smooth skin. "As such, women go to great lengths to hide certain aspects of their beauty regime from their partner, conducting a multitude of preening tasks behind closed doors. "When ladies get more comfortable with a partner they might let a few of their secrets slip, but two thirds simply feel they are being more lady-like by tending to themselves in private." The study showed that many ladies would hate their partner to know they had to remove hairs from their noses on occasion, while others don't want him to know they often treat spots with toothpaste, or whiten their teeth. Many girls claim their other half has no idea they wear chicken fillets in their bra on a night out. Two thirds of ladies polled reckon their partner is blissfully unaware of what is involved in their beauty routine - with a third keeping it all a closely guarded secret. A disappointing 35% of ladies believe their boyfriend or husband would be completely turned off if he saw them doing their most intimate pampering, while a fifth of women say it doesn't matter how comfortable they get with a partner, they will never ever let him know how much effort goes into looking good. Sorry to break it to you lads, but... We grow hair all over too, often in unwanted places. No one's boobs look like that without a bit of help. Make up is a Godsend, but we don't want to wear it every minute of every day, and if you comment on us looking like crap without it, you're a goner. Our feet look manky after a day's work too, we get spots, and our toenails need to be clipped. Cellulite happens.
