Girlfriend is in the fashion industry, loves em. Her body including the spanx area is a ten for sure, nevertheless, when she wears anything in the light, flowy dress dept she is all about those spanx. Do I care? She has the same great body in and out of them, and they make her feel confident. I sure don't mind that she is meticulous when dressing up and quite frankly, a confident girlfriend = happy girlfriend, and happy girlfriends are more likely to enjoy the physical company of their boyfriends at the end of the night. If you are cruising for one night stands mostly, I can see how you might form a different opinion of it.
