Have you ever been afraid to show your natural face (without makeup) to a guy you're seeing?

[chris_987]

A girl told me she declined to go on a plane trip with a guy because she was afraid of showing her face without makeup to him because they would be alone for too long? She was also afraid of taking a shit in his presence. Do girls go through this?

[AlienParasite]

Only some girls who have any sort of trauma or hard complex, are afraid.

Most girls I know don't have this problem. Specially girls like me that barely wear any makeup in a daily basis.

However I remember a friend my sister had. She went to our house in summer. This girl always look perfectly maked up. My mother even had the curiosity to see her without make up. My mother never saw her without makeup in the 2 or 3 days she was living under our same roof. The girl seemed to put some make up right before going out of the room in the morning. Everyday. We went to the pool and she was wearing makeup and didn't swim or put the head under water. She would go to sleep and she was still wearing makeup. My sister explained she would clean and "repaint" herself in the morning. Veeery weird.

[chris_987]

So how did you come to this conclusion that those women had trauma? Did you asked them or did you just assume, cause there some girls here that do that so you should ask them if they’ve went through some trauma

[AlienParasite]

More than trauma, it's probably complex. I assume this based on their behavior. I don't think any girl with this behavior would admit they have a problem. It's like anorexic women... they usually don't notice what's the problem with their behavior. But in both of this cases, wearing makeup all the time and anorexia, there's an obvious underlying issue with their self-esteem. Because, one thing is liking makeup, which I understand even if I don't like it, and another totally different thing is having fear of beign seen without makeup.

[chris_987]

Yeah that definitely makes sense

[Anonymous]

some do. I pers do kinda but not that extreme. I litteraly have white eyebrows and really red uneven skin and bad eye bags. my skin and my eyebrows make me insecure and I wouldn't be caught dead unless I don't care what you think of me without it. I'm also more attractive with it so... it's better if a guy keeps thinking I'm a 7 than a 6. Used to be pretty extreme when my skin was worse and when I had a lot shittier self esteem. I would sometimes not go to pe because I didn't want to ruin my makeup and people to see what I looked like with "less" of it.

[chris_987]

Well most women who are insecure wouldn’t admit it so thank for being the only one to admit your are

[MannMitAntworten]

So glad the women in my sphere are not remotely like the woman in the example. Frankly I loved awaking next to my last girlfriend and seeing the yellow of the morning light illuminate her flawless face. She wore zero makeup to bed. Hell, she didn’t even need it. One of those women who could get away without it. Which always struck me as she would prefer going without it yet always wore it. Beats me...

[Pighttussy]

I don't know a single guy who would be influenced by make up in the long run

[chris_987]

We would but guy have insecurities that are irrational just like men do with there dick size and height

[Pighttussy]

Dick size and height does matter buddy.

[Cmoreins]

I feel bad for the women who feel this way and for the guy because he might not know how to help her feel more secure with her natural beauty. I know I have a hard time knowing what to say as well.

I rarely wear makeup. I've accepted the level of beauty I have. I'd say I'm in the category of a pretty version of a plain jane. I accepted it and now wear makeup whenever I feel like getting a little more dolled up. I'm also a little lazy when it comes to makeup. I dont take more than 10 minutes to get it done.

[Hello_999]

I have nice features but often have breakouts around my period. I get really insecure and want to cover them up. My boyfriend says that I look cute without makeup and not to worry about a few pimples. But we wear makeup everyday so it’s pretty ingrained in how we think we look.

[chris_987]

But would makeup cause more breakouts

[Hello_999]

Not if you use the right kind and wash it off before bed.

[Hello_999]

They make oil free etc

[chris_987]

Well hopefully you end up happy 😃

[flamiE]

No lol he’ll eventually see me with no make up, we all get breakouts here and there or just have a bad day with dark circles and all but it’s life, I’d try to make it less noticeable if we’re on a date or something but let’s say we’re spending the night together, I’m definitely not going to try and wake up before him so I can mask that spot lol or do my eyebrows

[Sunfloweroverroses]

No, since I only use minimal make up (blush on and lipcolor, and sometimes one for eyebrow) it doesn't drastically change how I look. Just gives a bit of glowing effect.

[chris_987]

Lol I don’t know what any of that stuff is but ok

[Sunfloweroverroses]

I forgot it isn't a girl thats asking. Got a bit carried away. 😅 but okay. Haha

[chris_987]

I know about contours lines but that only because I draw and had to learn that stuff

[Sunfloweroverroses]

That's fine! ☺️

[chris_987]

Ok thanks 🙏

[Saville_Row]

Lol, I'm always without makeup, so guys are kind of used to. I understand where these women come from, though. If your facial features change drastically and you end up as a completely different person without makeup, they feel the guys won't like them anymore.

[chris_987]

It’s all about how you are internally, a man will always be with a woman if she’s confident, the ugliest most confident women can still attract any man because the majority of people aren’t confident, so you being 100 yourself is always gonna be appreciated.

[aicarg]

No, not really. I generally go natural and bare face on a day to day basis and that's how about 80% of the time my boyfriend sees me. Unless we're headed out for a nice day and I'm feeling pretty/sexy... I'll put on some eyeliner, faux lashes, mascara and colored chapstick.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I use to but now I rarely wear make up just try to keep up with my skin routine so my skin is clear

[chris_987]

What made you change you mindset

[PeacefulRainDrop]

My man actually complimented me when I wasn't wearing any cause I didn't have time I over slept and we were going to go out for breakfast.. I hate being late.. there's an hour between where we live and we met in between.. I think when your late its like a slap in the face to that person I dont respect your time... it why when I make plans with someone I wait 10 mins past the time then text them.. well something but have come up.. dont worry about meeting today have a good day! I just used my cleanser and toner and put on eye liner in the morning so I wouldn't be late.. then I left and we actually pulled in the parking lot the same time. We sat down and I said sorry I didn't have time to do my makeup didn't wanna keep you waiting he said I appreciate that and you look beautiful! You always look beautiful I dont think you have to wear it to be beautiful.. you are naturally beautiful so dont feel you have to wear it around me but if you want to go for it.. im happy with whatever you decide to do! So sometimes I wore it, sometimes I didn't and he's a lot more passionate kissing me when im not wearing it.. I actually got a lot of compliments from other people too.. just doing my skin care and eye liner.. then one day he was watching me doing it and he said that he likes it better without eye liner and he's the only one I want to attract so I am like that most times.. but special events I wear everything.. but everyday now I just use my skin care and lip chap..

[PeacefulRainDrop]

You wouldn't believe the freedom I feel of not having to put it on.. not having to buy more every two or three months.. im saving so much money so much more productive with my time.. its actually increased my confidence not wearing it.. I went 40 days without seeing my man due to covid so I did wear it the first time seeing him again and he asked why I said cause your important to me and wanted to look my best for you! He said you always do! That he prefers me without it but damn he's lucky to have such an amazing attractive woman that he could put me in a room with a bunch of men and trust me.. asked me how it makes me feel when I wear it. I said I feel like make up enhances my beauty!

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Also people treat you differently when you dont wear it.. especially women so I mainly wear it for them

[chris_987]

Lol I was actually just listening to a podcast wear they were talk about how women do things for other women, like wear makeup and get plastic surgery because they want to impress them more than they want to impress men. Imagine living your whole life trying to impress people you don’t even like. Well I’m glad you broke the cycle

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Its true it shows which people are shallow and you dont want them in your life anyway

[chris_987]

There most likely just afraid to be themselves, people aren’t really shallow just trying there best to fit in society.

[PeacefulRainDrop]

I was born to stand out

[chris_987]

Yeah I think everyone believes there unique, but they only truly unique people are those ones that aren’t looking for the approval of other or just looking for Gods approval

[PeacefulRainDrop]

Yes thats true

[LalaIbby90]

i am afraid to show everyone my normal without make up face, so if its a guy i like, 100%

[chris_987]

So you have a boyfriend now?

[noel_g95]

I rather show the guy my face without makeup. There's no need to hide under all that. I prefer the natural look anyways and I'm sure most guys love a girl with natural beauty.

[Orange_bb]

Not never. I just do makeup because i like doing it, not because i am ugly or i have something to conceal on my face. It really disturbs me when the guy say i didn't need makeup, i look beautiful without it🤦🏻‍♀️

[TacosRAwesome]

No because if Id rather look ugly as myself then make an effort and look ugly just the same.

[chris_987]

Truer words have never been spoken

[zagor]

If that pic is you there is nothing to worry about.

[Anonymous]

No I haven't been afraid plus I prefer being natual and would prefer if someone genuinely appreciates my beauty for what it is instead of them relying on my beauty that is caked on with make up that is temporary which is why I've met a few guys without make up the first time I met them and honestly it feels good to be yourself.

[KingdomForAKiss]

No makeup is not a big deal. If you're on a trip with a guy and you have to go poop, you go down to the lobby restroom at the hotel, or drive elsewhere. 🤣

[Anonymous]

hell yes. but because he asked for video call out of sudden, I had no choice to reveal him my bare face. I feel nervous af. but slowly I started to believe in myself since he doesn't made me feel insecure. I feel confident slowly. 😘 love him

[Opinion Owner]

by the way I feel nervous only towards the guy I'm seeing. other than him.. I most likely go with bare face.

[ryoru]

often bare faced.

went on dates barefaced, was always asked why I don't wear makeup.. I don't go for a second date.

finally with a guy who love my confidence and bare face, dark circles and all...

[ariadneR]

Sometimes, but I've noticed, and he's said as much, he likes it when I'm natural. Curly hair, no makeup.
I still wonder how and why 😁😅

[jessloudmouth]

The make up thing, for me no. I put on make up daily because I feel it gives me confidence, but to be honest I don't look better with make up so I don't mind him seeing me without my make up, the taking a dump part I can understand though

[AzureGirl]

I think a lot of people feel that way considering how much makeup people use today. Not saying it’s a bad thing because makeup is a talent and people can do it really well but it’s hard to know if someone will like another with none at all sometimes.

[arabgoddess]

I tell myself to not be scared.. If he really loves me for me, it would not matter if I had no make up on

[Felicityoyo]

Nope. If someone is going to be disinterested in me just because I'm not wearing makeup they're not worth my time

[chris_987]

Yeah it very easy for guys to not be worthy

[Felicityoyo]

Yeah it is if you have standards.

[chris_987]

Yeah but your standards can be too high life to short for that bull

[KaylaJoy]

No, but I never really wear makeup other than mascara and sometimes tinted chapstick

[Prettygurl12]

I don't wear makeup to begin with. What you see is what you get so you can deal with it. 😂

Minimum effort gets put foward over here.

[chris_987]

So your just naturally beautiful?

[Prettygurl12]

🤷🏼‍♀️

[chris_987]

Lol your wearing makeup in your profile pic

[Prettygurl12]

I'm not.

[chris_987]

Oh well it looks like you are

[Prettygurl12]

Yeah, that's a combo of hella good lighting, deep set eyes, and a touch of sleep deprivation 😂

[chris_987]

Wow 😮 they need to put that filter on Snapchat lol

[Victoriasecret16]

Nope, I rarely use makeup lately. Its feel havy on my face if thats not important event for me. Who the hell still use makeup everyday during quarantine time?

[mawmmeme]

I don’t wear makeup LIKE EVER and feel like my boyfriend seeing me with makeup will make me feel really awkward lmao

[1Anon]

I’m not afraid as I don’t wear makeup. I don’t actually think my husband has ever seen me with makeup on. Lol

[Graceful05]

No, I don’t wear makeup often and when I do it’s more to highlight than to dramatically change my appearance.

[all_eyez_on_me]

Yo white girl, do u like black men?

[Anonymous]

Depends on the person. I lacked self confidence in my 20s so it would have been more difficult. I always wore makeup. As the years went on I'm became comfortable without make up so pretty much everyone has seen me without make up.

[TMcCaa]

Nope. If a guy doesn't love you the way you are then move on- u dont need him. But nowadays females be wearing tons & tons of makeup so they look totally different with make up on-- but you can't wear that crap 24/7-- eventually he's gonna see ya..

[ciitruskiwi]

Some girls. I'd rather have a guy think I'm beautiful without makeup.

[Erin2003]

I don’t wear makeup except for a special occasion. What’s up with pooping, it happens.

[archiz]

I used to be a tad insecure, tho my makeup is usually minimal...
But nthng that extreme and I am getting over it.

[Anonymous]

I don’t wear makeup at all, so he’d only see the natural me. I would be afraid of him to see me with makeup on though because I just started learning how to do it and I look like a clown

[pleasestopthis]

Some girls are too dependant on their make up and being with a bare face in public gives them severe anxiety. So yes, it happens.

[loveshorro]

Nope. I rarely ever wear makeup and if I do it’s still not much

[Spleenz]

Personally, makeup is a turnoff unless it's for important events but a lady should never go overboard and look like someone they're not. That's just plain deception.

[Dnice1]

Nope, I don't wear makeup. What you see is you get 😊

[Daisy9]

It comes down to self confidence. So if I'm having a crap day I will put make up on to boost it. Not necessarily for a male. Yes girls feel nervous about being completely comfortable at first.

[rvarela]

No I wasn't afraid to show a guy my face without makeup.

[LaureenVO]

I don't even wear make-up or even have it lol

[Anonymous]

well i draw on eyebrows everyday and look like I've got a massive forehead without so yeah definitely

[chris_987]

Wow I’m sure you’re fine without it

[Opinion Owner]

absolutely not, my eyebrow hairs are so light.

[Opinion Owner]

but thanks

[chris_987]

Guys can’t tell the difference between how thick or thin eye hairs are so there no reason to stress about it

[Opinion Owner]

aye but they're non-existint as in colour

[chris_987]

I wasn’t aware eyebrows had colour

[CupcakeKiller]

Many girls do. I personally haven't.

[chris_987]

Where does that come from

[CupcakeKiller]

I think a lot of women just think they're expected to always look done up.

[chris_987]

Well I don’t expect women to

[CupcakeKiller]

I think the majority of people don't. It shouldn't matter even if they did in my opinion.

[chris_987]

Well hopefully it changes for the better

[HerLucidNightt]

I meet most men with fresh face. So, no.

[UnknownGagsUser]

not that confident lol

[Aakash_Hangargi]

You are already pink, why would you need makeup anyways

[CanadianGirlx23]

yeah

[zagor]

So she never takes a shower with him?

[Neugier]

Never.

[chris_987]

Never what?

[Neugier]

It's the answer to your question: "Have you been afraid to show your natural face to a guy you're seeing".
Never have I been afraid.

[chris_987]

Oh okay, but some girls are why do you think they are?

[Neugier]

Because they are insecure without it. I'm generally insecure, too, but I don't feel much different with make up.

[chris_987]

Everyone is insecure about something which keeps you humble, so it’s a good thing

[Hazelstar]

No, I don't

[mynameisRIS]

I don't wear makeup
