Does makeup give women an unfair advantage in dating? (Page 2)

Question

Think about it. Plain looking girls become hot. That means there's more attractive women than attractive men. Thus, the average woman's standards get higher.

Kayla45 · Answer

I think it's about the same as guys shaving their beards and washing their faces with body wash, etc. It's basically just a method of having a clear more approachable face.

whyisitso · Answer

Doesn't that girl in those pics actually look better without the snapchat filter? I think she does, she is just making a weird face in that picture.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

Blue anons are the saviors of Humankind!

Midnight_Kiss · Answer

Not in the long run because once the face paint comes off they tend to either not look like the intended expected or they have low self esteem and become unwilling about showing themselves naturally which a lot of guys I know find a turn off

FýrdracaDócincel · Answer

That tends to be partially countered by how makeup can be a source of insecurity for girls.

Think about it..
How many "I can remove 90% of your 'beauty' with a towel" statements have you seen in your life?

PastelGoth · Answer

I mean, when you put on makeup, you look completely different. That's like catfishing someone. No woman should ever wear so much makeup. That's ridiculous

0112358 · Answer

No. Because women compete vs women and men compete vs men.

Makeup gives women who have a decent body but a plain face an advantage in comparison with men with the same traits. But that doesn’t really matter.

ChrisTruthseeker · Answer

I guess so if you're talking about women being able to hide their imperfections with cover up whereas men have to be real. Otherwise I usually think some women look better without makeup.

Anonymous · Answer

I think men and women value confidence in a woman. And with all these women wearing makeup around us it becomes harder to be confident in ourselves when men refer to our natural looks as plain and our altered look as hot. We feel that nobody will accept us as being pretty just the way we are so we wear makeup. Sounds like a disadvantage to me because there are so many damaged mentality

Koki11 · Answer

Yes lol we can hide blemishes if somone has them i personally don't use foundations n stuff I loke eye makeup n lipsticks more but yeah we do have an advantage

DianaWest · Answer

why would you even date a woman who is clearly wearing 100 lbs of makeup? i don't consider women who wear so much makeup hot. you can wear a little bit, but a full cake is not cool in my opinion.

Cookie8888 · Answer

I use makeup. Therefore, no. Makeup gives a person an advantage/disadvantage (depending on who you ask). It's just that most men are too dumb to realize that a liquid concealer, some blush and a little mascara makes a man hot to.

MittenstheGlove · Answer

The polls look exactly how I thought they would. Also, yeah. I’ve seen some decent girls glow up with makeup. But most highly attractive or unattractive girls still look the same without it.

Hans222 · Answer

I don't think so. Also, from both pics the right one is my favourite. That make-up on the left pic is so artificial. Instead of accentuating her beauty it looks totally unnatural :-(

Temporal · Answer

Honestly, no. If you can't tell the difference between a woman wearing makeup and a woman not wearing makeup you're probably misogynistic in the first place.

LVince · Answer

Google ‘Problematic' Makeup Removing App 'MakeApp' Causes Mass Triggering’, evidently women seem to think it gives them an advantage of why would they be so upset? But of course most claim they only do it to ‘feel good about themselves’, not to attract men.

ChgzDaniel · Answer

No, the truth is probably the opposite. You'll find the girls who don't wear makeup most likely have boyfriends and the girls with makeup stand around complaining about being along.

worldscolide · Answer

No.. But only because i always insist i see them without makeup before i sleep with them.. If they refuse, or if they look like an entirely different person without makeup i break all contact with them.

Loveleigh · Answer

Pretty sure u don’t send dick pics when not aroused.

YourMomIsCool · Answer

No because when they take off the make up and they look completely different the person won't want to date them anymore

briecheese07 · Answer

It depends. Some guys prefer girls without too much makeup.

QuiteACoolUsername · Answer

I'm not sure... But I think yes. And not because of make up itself. But usually because people who often wear make ups are more outgoing and confident - and that makes them seems more "date-able".

Pamina · Answer

You can tell if a woman is wearing make up. So there's nothing "unfair" about it. If you don't like women who wear make up, don't date them.

chunlilovesvega · Answer

true. males are naturally hot without needing any cosmetic help or makeup -- ugly girls become hot with makeup and get naturally hot guys that's so unfairly disturbing

AbdKilani · Answer

Not really
I don't like it, but most of the women around already have it, so...
But I guess that's a social pressure nowadays, still I can say that a little bit of make up can give a girl a nice look, but I would love to see her without any.

meowcow · Answer

What is an "unfair advantage"? All women have a choice in using makeup.  It is that CHOICE which makes it fair.

Valina · Answer

Of course, if guys want they can also apply some make-up. It is only because of this society that guys think make-up is girly and feminine.

Syatesxo · Answer

I think it does actually as plain looking men can’t wear makeup and make themselves hot through cosmetic products. But that’s why personality should stand out more then looks.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Not for me, i see girls wearing makeup all the time and i ignore first, the number of the girls are left used to be ZERO till i found my one.

smg99 · Answer

I don’t completely disagree or agree. I believe that it’s to meet an internal requirement for self validation than for dating actually.

psm357 · Answer

It is not all about look. Beside, if a woman put on too much makeup, it is a turn off for me. So makeup is at best a double edge word.

CasaNorba · Answer

its only an advantage if you let it be. a mouse that knows how mousetraps work will never go after the cheese that's hooked to it. no matter how mouth watering it may appear.

Under_Maps_OF_twigs · Answer

No. I don't even like the portrayal of makeup or the issue that makeup makes a woman more available to date or more attractive. Beauty is not based on if you add or subtract chemicals or products to your face.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I think that girl looks attractive in both pictures, i don't see it being  a deal breaker whether she wears makeup or not.

DevikaButts95 · Answer

No, girls already have that advantage without makeup.

bente2 · Answer

If you’re too dumb to realise she looks different without makeup maybe you shouldn’t date at all.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm tired of guys complaining about girls wearing makeup when they crush on celebs with a ton of makeup and sometimes even plastic surgery That's called hypocrisy

Josephen · Answer

The unfair advantage woman have in dating is that they can cover their ugliness by makeup... also some of the woman are have real beauty and they dont need any tool of make up...

Browneye57 · Answer

Advantage... yes. Unfair... no.  Guys just know pretty when they see it.  Love can't start 'till attraction does, and then there needs to be a conversation.

YHL6965 · Answer

To all girls who try to become really different through make up :

ibodi · Answer

It is just a wall that can not face heart to heart.

azzntittiz · Answer

Really shouldn't matter, you shouldn't date someone for their looks, What difference does it make?

Just_A_Guy2018 · Answer

If they wear make up they are lying to you.

Anonymous · Answer

No makeup isn’t what gives women the advantage, the advantage comes from society’s pressure on men to be the pursuer and women to be passive all while women still have the ability to pursue if they want while most men have 0 option to be passive

PinkMichae · Answer

Does facial hair give guys an unfair advantage? Lol!

JimRSmith · Answer

If it does, it's only at a very, very superficial level...

Wolframium · Answer

No. Wiring in mans brain give women unfair advantage in dating. In fact, it just gives them the dating world.

Ljd213 · Answer

I am scared to date a girl with a lot of make-up unless she is cosplaying. Anyways, dating a girl that is just caked with make-up means something is wrong D:.

GreatnessBack · Answer

I have to ask, why do you care?  This has been going on for a long time, and humans have not complained about it.  And no they don't. They still have to deal with lames.

Anonymous · Answer

No. We women are not as visual as you guys are. there's no gender privilege. Life doesn't work like this.

jimyee · Answer

Just because you're ugly doesn't mean the rest of us good looking guys are upset.

Mexicoman101 · Answer

In her case no, because she looks good either way. With some women, yeah.

Bananaman177 · Answer

They already have all the advantages, but yes, this is yet another one.

Itssssonlyyymeee · Answer

I’m two different people with or without make up. Regardless I find myself beautiful. ✨

HouDeany · Answer

I prefer a natural look so to me lots of women wearing makeup gives an advantage to all the women who don't wear it.

ronaldo75 · Answer

I don't go out with girls who slather on tons of makeup but they have all right to do what they wamnt. Heavy makeup is a CLEAR sign she's not that cute underneath. I'd say around 80% of the time

Anonymous · Answer

I don't think I understand your question. Does makeup give WHICH women an unfair advantage over WHOM? I'd say it gives an advantage to the women who know how to use it relative to the women who don't.

SamSerein · Answer

No because it’s temporary not permanent and people can usually tell when women wear it.

Anonymous · Answer

Kind of but then some girls look much better completely naturally than others do with makeup. And you usually can tell !

dreamstar72 · Answer

In the photos you have up, I think the female without makeup is totally gorgeous.
