I have a girlfriend and it takes her about 2 hours to get ready in the morning. That is just crazy. She has to get up so early just to get ready for work. And it's not like she looks like a model when she is done. It usually takes me about 40 minutes or so. How about you. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning????

Well I have to say it used to take me 2 hours as well but that was showering every morning doing my Hair getting the Kids up and ready for School, putting a bit of Make up on. Now it takes me about an hour lol and that is including my Shower.

For me, it always depends on how much time I have. I usually manage to wake up just in time to take a 3min shower, dress in 2 min and run to the subway :))) But if I wake up early enough, I usually take my time, spend like 20 minutes in the shower, another 20 minutes to drink my coffee and 10-15 more to get dressed. This should be a little less than an hour

It takes me about 10 minutes to get ready in the morning. That's all it ever takes me. 2 hours? That takes up most of the morning! I don't wear makeup, so time is saved there. 10 minutes and I am ready to run with our huskies.

It takes me about 30 to 45 minutes of the mornings to get ready for the day. When i was younger and done all that hairspray and roller thing, it would take forever atleast 2 hours. I wouldn't never do that again.

lol...I dont know what I do, but like your girl I take atleast 2 hours to get ready in the morning. But mind you its not because of make up or dress, blame it on time for ticking away faster than it would do while you're working! :-) lol@not like she looks like model when she is done! I wonder what she's gonna feel when she pass through your thread!

when i was a student i thing it takes me 2-3 hours to get ready for school. that is because i have to iron my hair, wear my makeup, and a lot of stuffs similar to that. but now, since i've got greater responsibilities in life i think it will take me an hour and half to complete my day's prep.

It only takes me around 20-30 minutes to get ready in the morning. I don't put make up on so after taking a bath, I just have to dress up, eat breakfast, the brush my teeth and I'm ready to go.

about 1/2 hour and that includes taking a shower, putting on makeup, etc as well as grabbing a bite to eat. It used to take me an hour, but once I had kids, I learned very quickly to hurry it up :-)

It doesn't take me long to get ready in the morning. a shower will take 10 minutes and then i brush my teeth, put my hair up and get dressed and i'm out the door in about 20 minutes or less. i don't wear makeup so it doesn't take long at all.

you said that you take about 20 minutes only, which i believe is clearly under the average time for a woman to get ready. Do you think that the reason that they usually take longer than men is the make up part? how long do you think that an average woman takes to make up herself?

I usually wake up at 7:00, get up at 7:05 and have to leave my home at 7:20. It takes me 15 minutes to get ready. But I never miss anything important. Every evening, I must get everything neccessary in place. Otherwise, I could be late the next morning.

It depends upon where i am going. Preparing for work takes me about an hour while going out with family or friends takes me only about 30 minutes. The difference is my effort in putting on make-up and fixing my hair. :)

1 hour for me TOPS! That's the maximum for me to get showered, dressed then a bit of make up. It only extends when I am lazy and just taking my time.

When do my full routine (shower, breakfast, makeup, etc) it takes about an hour, more when I'm going somewhere special. But, I can't stand waking up early. So, the earlier I have to be somewhere, the less time I take. I start by getting rid of makeup, which makes it 45 minutes. Then I get rid of breakfast, which makes it 35. If I just wash my hair instead of a full shower, only 20.
