I don't think it's about the make up at all. I think it's the fact that using make up shows a sign of effort. Using make up (wether minimal or overdone) shows that a girl cares about her appearance to make the effort. My ex preferred me natural faced but always appreciated the extra effort for date nights etc.
So I am noticing a high percentage of women going no but ladies, I don't know if you see this but 54 percent of guys are going yes. Let me put it this way, men and women get rosy cheeks when they are young, when you get older, men lose them and women wear blush, I am just sayin'
Sadly, a woman's value is also measured by how perky and rosy she is. The same cannot be said for mature men, who may still be considered quite charming.
@dipta agreed
One thing I had notice Latina girls almost pull the whole case of makeup lile
Cmon woman you full of make it. Geez I wonder why so much make up. Honestly I don’t like it and I like girls who wear no make up or a little bit is just fine but too much. Gtfo
Only if you are an Asian master of makeup like the ones in this video
https://youtu.be/LmkwaZzsk3UI feel regular girls don't usually wear that much makeup to create such big difference in comparison with their natural look, so it's not that hard to imagine a girl without makeup. Unless they are the masters of makeup I showed above.
Watch the first girl closely, after she's taking off the makeup her eyes move farther apart. Those are two different girls. This is fake.
Not really. If you look at it from that angle, women are really only painting themselves into a corner, because at some point the makeup will have to come off anyway. If looks really matter that much to you, go for girls who wear no makeup or natural looking makeup.
"painting themselves into a corner,"
That's very witty!
I guess.
If you broke it down really the issue is that we like their faces too much and they can just do it even harder with makeup. But they’re fake at the same time so it’s not like makeup is always better. Most of the time no makeup is better, and therein lies the issue. With or without they look good and guys just... don’t and there’s not a lot a guy do about it in the short term. You can really fake attractive, you either work out a ton or put effort into your career or whatever and get some manner of tangible gains. There’s no stopgap like makeup.
No because you don't have to date someone who wears makeup. You can choose to date someone who wears more or less makeup or even none. I personally find makeup unattractive. So many stupid idiotic girls are obsessed with/ wear a lot of makeup. Some people think it makes them look better so I think you have to accept that insecure fake girls are more likely to wear it. Also you can wear makeup if you want. And also you shouldn't be so insecure. it gives a girl an advantage in a one night stand in a club or bar.
Im sure guys can tell if a girl is wearing TONS of make up, so hopefully they would realise that she would probably look different without it.
However, if its just a small amount of make up, just to enhance their appearance slightly, then i dont see a problem with that
Wait, so it's OK if she wears a lot because then it's not an advantage... but if she wears only a little, and it isn't obvious, but it still enhances her look, it's NOT an unfair advantage?
Wut?
She was talking about the difference between wearing a lot of makeup and just a decent amount of it. She meant that wearing a lot of makeup changes your appearance drastically compared to a decent amount of makeup
@Naruto_Uzumaki Yes, but the question wasn't whether your appearance changes drastically, but whether it's improved. Even a small amount of makeup can drastically improve your looks, while not changing your fundamental facial structure and looks. So in fact small amounts of makeup, AKA "natural" makeup, is MORE unfair than industrial amounts of powder on your face that's blatantly obvious.
Not really.
If we pay attention we can see if a woman wears a lot of makeup. For me, a ton of makeup is a turn off. A small amount, and more natural look is more of my preference.
A guy can also look just as good if he takes care of his skin. Using quality facial washes, moisturizers, and sunscreen can give a guy just as much advantage over other guys.
nope, if it really transforms her than you'll see she has a tone of make up and so if you wanan avoid that - dont go for those
by the way she looks prettier to me without make up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a lot of girls dont know how to put make up too and make themselves look uglier...
I KNOOOWWW so many girls look prettier without makeup! But I guess not everybody sees it that way
Why the fuck are women replying to this? Unless you are genuinly lesbian then you would not know. They obviously do. My two previous girlfriends looked hotter with makeup on, meaning if she didn't wear makeup I would probably have approached another girl.
Yes it does. A lot of women think they're above most guys, when without makeup they look like shit. That's why I encourage guys to use whatever means they can to make themselves more attractive. Girls do.
not really because they are competing against others wearing makeup.
think about it like this. do baseball players compete against the ball or another team of players? their objective is to hit the ball. girls objective is to get the guy or girl. in such they are competing with others in the same objective.
a strange and probably not perfect analogy but rather apropos i think
Well no, because any girl can wear makeup. It takes skill to know how to do makeup. I can't do makeup so i dont wear it. But think about it this way, if beautiful girls put makeup on they usually just look better and same goes to plain girls. So in the end it doesn't matter
I don't think so. But I look deeper than the skin. But if you are asking if men should be able to wear makeup I say why not. If your laying down some foundation should not be that bad. But I am not to sure about doing the colored eye lids. But that's just me. If you want to wear makeup then knock yourself out.
It does give them an advantage. Its quite insane just how much of a difference makeup can make for a womens appereance. One of the hottest girls in my school class looked like your average 4/10 without her makeup. But she did it so perfectly (and everyday) that a lot of guys had a crush on her.
I dont think its "unfair" though. I seriously dont care
Also the girl in your picture looks 10x better without make up
You actually sound stupid... The ugliest dudes get women way above their standards all the time. Beauty standards are especially higher for women because we live in a patriarchy and have women like Kim K.
1) Kim is an idiot.
2) You can opt out of societal standards at any time.
3) Beauty standards are often set by women themselves.
example: thigh gap.
I, and many other men, had never heard of such of thing before girls started writing about their desire to have one.
This is entirely your creation.
@Naydyonov Nah, you wouldn't understand.
Then explain.
If anything, it might give them an fair disadvantage. some guys, like myself, don't like a girl with gobs of war paint all over her face and would rather be with a girl he can actually see for who she is rather than who she pretends to be. In the pictures above, both girls are very pretty but, I think I'd rather go for the one on the right. I might like the left one better if she didn't wear make-up, or at least not as much.
ugh haha, this picture is a part of the problem. that's not just make up.
she has a snapchat filter on. AND it's a different pose, lighting, and then make up is the last thing haha.
I think recently this belief that an ugly woman that wears make-up can become beautiful or even is beautiful is a completely nonsense and even outrageous.
in my opinion, she may look better and more "presentable" and even LOOK beautiful, but she cannot BE what she is not.
Fools will be fooled (including the ladies who think that).
