Girls, do you wear more makeup than normal on a first date? Guys, do you appreciate a girl who puts the effort into getting dolled up for a date?

[Beckybooboo]

A guy I know and like asked me out a couple weeks ago. He knows I don’t normally wear a ton of makeup but I did wear some for our first date, I just think he would appreciate it and I do like how I look with some makeup on. He did compliment how pretty I looked! Anyway, girls, do you tend to get more dolled up for a first date than you normally would? Even if it’s more of a “casual” date? Guys, do you like a girl that does?

[John987654321]

Absolutely, I appreciate effort. For a woman to put some effort into her look is atypical of my own personal dating experience, and it is quite frustrating. Make up is nice, but attire has been my frustration. I like to dress up for dates, even suits and ties sometimes, but "dressing up" for my dates has been dressing up blue jeans with a little nicer top and a pair of heels, rather than dress pants or a nice skirt, even if the shoes and top are a bit more casual. So, when a date wears something other than blue jeans, it's quite refreshing, even like an honor.

For me, effort means that you are looking forward to our date, and gets us a little more interested.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

I'm very much appreciative of girls that put in effort to look nice on their dates. It shows they care. It's a major turn off if they show up wearing a sweatpants, yoga pants, ripped jeans, crop tops etc. Makes them look like they didn't even try.

I always look my best whenever I go anywhere because I respect my surroundings. I expect the same of others.

Yes. I think you just try to make a good first impression. I heard on the radio once that if you're on a dating app, you should post like photos of you that are pretty close to or are your natural face, so if you go on a date, and you are more dolled up, it can take you from your daily 6-7, to like a 10, but since they've seen your more natural face already, you can't "look worse" in their eyes if you did the opposite and posted your makeup-hair 10 and then came to a date more natural.

[Holsen]

In my opinion, I don’t put the stress on makeup like I’m not against it and I appreciate the effort and the idea but it’s not like it will shift my mind totally;like makeup increases the definition and fixes small details so like a beautiful painting if it’s drawn and painted well and the idea is good adding some colors afterwards or making the lines smoother and such won’t change the fact that it was already very pretty and it only makes it even prettier so it depends on the girl how much she naturally uses or how;I think that as long as the feeling you get put of her is good, beautiful and pire than it’s just perfect with or without makeup!!

[JacobJordan]

make for most guys is a red flag. the heavier it is the worse it is. when it comes to make up I will let my wife share her view point on it.

Wife: less is more when it comes to make up. some is fine accentuate certain features. lips, eyes, eyelashes. make up is not great for your skin. I personally use lotion and moisturizer over make up keeps my face hydrated and smooth. I occasionally use lipstick or lip gloss with some eyeliner or eyeshadow when my husband takes me dates. Also if you do not normally wear make up then he will be used to seeing you without make up or a lot of it. Stick with that because he asked you out as you were which is good

[Wallythewalrus]

I've always appreciated a girl going that extra mile. As long as it isn't caked on, makeup can definitely inhance a girls beauty. When my wife and I go out, she'll put a touch of makeup on and it drives me wild!!!

[Beckybooboo]

Lol…. I never cake it on, I think some people interpreted my question wrong. I’m glad you appreciate it.

[Wallythewalrus]

I think most guys lie when they say they don't like any makeup on a girl because they think that's what she wants to hear. I don't like a lot but at times, I definitely like to see a woman dolled up.

[Beckybooboo]

I think there is a lot of truth to what you’re saying. I like fixing myself up. Doing different things with my hair, trying different outfits on…….

[TallGuy8383]

I like the fact that a woman will make the effort to look nice but I like more of natural look with light makeup

[Wallythewalrus]

@TallGuy8383 Exactly. I think girls are sexy as hell with no makeup on, hair in a pony tail, wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt.

[TallGuy8383]

I even like the old baseball hat look too. However I do enjoy a woman wearing a nice sundress in the summer and hair done up. Or I enjoy her in a pair of leggings and a comfortable top too

[Wallythewalrus]

@TallGuy8383 I was going to say a ponytail pulled through the back of a baseball hat. I LOVE watching women's college softball on ESPN!

[Beckybooboo]

@TallGuy8383 I look terrible in a sundress. They just don’t fit me right. They make me look high waisted and skinnier than I am. I LOVE Bodycon dresses! Not the mini ones but the ones just above the knees. I also like doing different things with my hair.

[TallGuy8383]

I had to look what a bodycon dress was lol. I think those are cute dresses. I guess I just thought all summer dresses and what not were the same lol. And I love different hair styles too

[Beckybooboo]

@TallGuy8383 They are nice dresses. They fit me nice. They became popular because of women in news casting. When you watch the news, look at the dresses most of them are wearing.

[TallGuy8383]

Yeah those are sexy dresses. A nice dress to show off cute curves

[TallGuy8383]

What do you like to see guys wear on a nice date

[Beckybooboo]

@TallGuy8383 If it’s fairly casual or a simi formal date, I like how a guy looks in a crew neck sweater, especially black. Nice jeans or khaki pants. If it’s more formal, then khakis or regular dress pants with a dress shirt. A tie would be nice but probably too much to ask for. Lol

[Beckybooboo]

I also like long sleeve Bentleys.

[TallGuy8383]

If I’m going out, I’ll do khakis or dress pants with a nice button down and a nice pair of shoes. If it’s more casual, usually a dark pair of jeans and a button down or sweater

[TallGuy8383]

Thoughts on bald men?

[TallGuy8383]

Actually thoughts on bald men and beards?

[TallGuy8383]

How about when you go to a baseball game and she’s wearing a hat and a baseball jersey and shorts 😍

[Decoded93]

I love makeup like that, it shows you put effort in and want to show your best, like I do

[Beckybooboo]

Thank you!!! I don’t do it for me, I do it to look good for the guy. I also won’t continue to do it every time we go somewhere.

[Decoded93]

I get you, I'm really attracted to faces so when her features get shown well, like she does her eyes and lips nicely, I'm very impressed!

[Beckybooboo]

I think most think I’m talking about caking it on like a clown but I never wear much. Thanks.

[Decoded93]

No you must have better taste than that, guys have no idea how makeup even works, so don't worry about shitty answers lol

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't wear makeup. It happens rarely that I use mascara (my eyelashes are brighter than other hair on my body). So, I definitely wouldn't wear more makeup.

[love_conquers_lust]

I think girls have a point on this one. You should do it for you. Because you think it’s fun. If you do it for someone else, you risk your self esteem being hinged on that person’s approval. That being said, I appreciate the effort and the end product if you did a good job.

[love_conquers_lust]

So if you come at me with something like this:

“https://encrypted-tbn0. gstatic. com/images? q=tbn:ANd9GcREjHzwiWnFFEULpFSpa2WTPHlgJyXnDKgA1Q&usqp=CAU”

And you still haven’t learned to color in the lines as a grown woman, I’m going to advise you go back to the drawing board.

[Jbear27]

Less is more. I think the best makeup job is when you can’t really tell the girl is wearing it. The more natural looking the better. That said, get dressed up but don’t overdo the makeup. I will say I do like a nice smokey eye from time to time.

[LunarEclipse433]

Absolutely I care and it impresses the hell out of me

[Beckybooboo]

Thank you.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No, she should wear what she usually wears, including makeup.
Also i prefer less or nothing.

[Anonymous]

I do like it when a girl gets dolled up. I'm much more focused on what she's wearing though, rather than her makeup. If it's clear she's put some thought into an outfit that really accentuates her best bodily features while still being tasteful and not over the top--I really LOVE that! Nothing like a really good sexy tease from a girl you're in to!

[lsmith588]

No I usually do my makeup the same anytime I'm going out. Doesn't matter if it's work, shopping or a date. Unless I am being lazy first thing in the morning.

[Bethany22]

If he has already seen me numerous times before without makeup, as in your case, I wouldn't bother wearing any, as he evidently already likes the way I look.

[virgo2267]

Getting dolled up is extremely attractive… as a man I can only admit that a woman with a very wel applied of makeup and perfume can ignite a serious rock unsend the belt…for a woman to make herself pretty can really make a guy feel like a kinda

[tzdc21]

I get that you wanna make a good impression, but on the other hand, I wanna see more of you without makeup to see what you really look like. Because make up is a form of deception.

[Peter_Penetrator]

I prefer a woman with natural beauty or a woman that is confident enough with her own beauty to wear just enough makeup to barely notice.

[Peter_Penetrator]

But, if a woman goes all out to look good for me, l will definitely express my appreciation.

[HouseMoat]

I mean, it really just depends on what we're doing however, yeah, it's always nice to see her do it up. Women are the ones who mainly wear it, right? So, why shouldn't she. If men did it, I'm sure we would too

[DryGermanGuy]

Not a fan of the cakeface, neither on a first meeting or any other. 🙄😬

[boggboss]

Depends on the guy and what u mean by dolled up I guess

[Adogdog]

I honestly prefer girls with a more natural look. No makeup is fine with me.

[Date_a_Snob]

I definetly put a lot of effort into a first date. I once spent three hours getting ready for a first date.

[OnlyMeee]

I'm always appreciative of females in general, even more so when they get dolled up. Love to see makeup, looking prettier than every day life. We men can't make such effort for you ladies lol

[Nifrayu]

Not at all. I would rather I am able to see her face, not a mask.

[Mangospacho]

I appreciate it because it’s a lot of effort

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I appreciate the effort

[Beckybooboo]

Thank you. Seems most guys think I’m talking about looking like a clown.

[Likes2drive]

No if you apply the right amount it just enhances your beauty

[LunarEclipse433]

Not a clown or super fancy. I can tell when someone spends time on makeup and hair. In Texas, jeans can be casual or comfy formal. I have seen some ladies absolutely rock a pair of Wranglers.

[Likes2drive]

@LunarEclipse433 Yeah some can and it’s fine by me

[Masterodd]

No... I personally don't like liars and fake beauty...

[ChooChooHaha]

Yes. But not enough to be fake.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but only if it isn't caked on.

[Beckybooboo]

I never cake it on. Just a very little blush and some eyeliner. At times a dab of lipstick.

[Opinion Owner]

I would think it's cute

[boobliker]

please don't do it!

[Jmmmfi4]

IM NOT A FAN OF IT

[Slim57]

I definitely appreciate it

[Anonymous]

Of course I appreciate.
