A woman has sparked a furious debate online after she shared a list of things your man “should never see you do,” including popping pimples and wearing a face mask.
Ingri Pauline, a certified nutrition coach and strength and conditioning specialist from Las Vegas, Nevada, went viral on Twitter earlier this month after speaking out about the many things she thinks women should avoid in front of their significant others.
According to the fitness guru, if you want your partner to “treat you like a lady,” then you need to “act like a lady.”
She explained that since “your man will inevitably see you at your worst anyway,” keeping “a mystery” in your relationship will strengthen the relationship.

Ingri Pauline (seen with her husband), of Las Vegas, Nevada, spoke out about the many things she thinks women should avoid in front of their significant others
According to Ingri, a licensed nutrition coach and strength and conditioning specialist, if you want your partner to “treat you like a lady,” you have to “act like a woman.”
She advised against doing “gross human things” like pooping or picking a pimple in front of your partner, as well as not telling him “beauty secrets” — and her controversial stance sparked a major row among social media users.
“Your man should never see you: shit, pop pimples, pluck every hair on your face (except an eyebrow), do a face mask, wax your bikini line, wear an outfit that you’d be embarrassed to see someone else in, and a bunch of other gross fundamentally human stuff,” she began in the tweet.
‘Why? Because your man will inevitably see you at your worst anyway and it pays to keep some mystery and act like a lady around him.
“My husband knows that I go to the toilet and that I look and feel better. That is it. I like to keep it that way as much as possible.
They don’t call them ‘beauty secrets’ for nothing.
Do you want him to keep treating you like a lady? Then act like one.’
In addition, Ingri said that you should always have “manners” around your husband, and always use words like “please” and “thank you.”
“Your husband should be the person who gets MOST of your manners (please, thank you, goodbye, welcome home, I love you, etc.) because you will definitely give him the worst over the course of your marriage as well ‘ she continued.
Manners and mystery are insurance policies against boredom and being treated like a roommate.

The trainer’s post was viewed more than 4.9 million times and received thousands of comments from people – many of whom disagreed with her and some who were on the same page.
“Intimacy is being able to be 100 percent yourself in the presence of another human being and trust that that other human being is also 100 percent real,” one user replied.
“Sorry, my relationship is unlimited, we last 23 years and we are better for it.”
“You seem to be in the wrong era,” someone else said. ‘The 1950s had the same ideas: hiding the truth from our partners, for the sake of some abstract ‘feminine mystique’.
It was nonsense then and it is nonsense now. If they can’t love us when we’re most vulnerable, they don’t deserve us.
‘
“My husband would literally wonder why I’m avoiding him if I don’t include him in all of this,” another joked.

In a follow-up, Ingri explained that it wasn’t about “what a man can handle,” but about “self-respect and presenting yourself the best you can.”
“Tell me you’re insecure about showing your flaws without actually telling me you’re insecure about showing your flaws,” a fourth tweet read.
‘I make face masks with my husband.
Got to keep his face fresh too! I’m pregnant, he’s going to help me with my bikini line soon,” another user wrote.
“I pop his pimples. I keep clothes I like, not clothes I don’t like. I see him in all stages and while mystery is good, life is still life.’
“So a husband should only know the you that you post online?” someone else asked.
“The little things in life build intimacy because no one else in the world gets to see that side of you, or shouldn’t,” another person explained.
“Leave each other in the inside of your heart and don’t give those things to others. Build a bubble with just all the things you do and say to each other.’
Someone else wrote: “I find it very sad that some women feel this way.”
“A considerate and loving life partner will take care of every inch of your body on the worst days,” another user added. “This can take years to master, which is why it’s called practice.”
In a follow-up, Ingri explained that it wasn’t about “what a man can handle,” but about “self-esteem and presenting yourself the best you can to the person you spend the most time with.” You.’
