Why do females obsess so heavily on appearance things that don't matter much (makeup, accessories, hair) rather than what does matter (weight)?

[Thatsamazing]

Seriously I see my female friends constantly saying shit like "her hair and nails are so on-point, omg!! she looks amazing!" for whatever chick or whatever Insta celebrity just posted a pic or whatever, and chick looks like this:

...

So... why do females think that in ^ this situation, hair and nails and makeup are the point. Is it simply because they're easier? It's simple laziness?

This was a rhetorical question.

[mindNsoul]

Make up, hair and style is a form of art and some get paid a lot to design/ mix colors. These women are talented and we appreciate the talent. We take ideas sometimes from the way others style themselves, style their hair or color it, or on how they wear make up.

You on the other hand can see nothing but weight. Live your life find a partner that is slim and leave others to their own. Because this is getting quite repetitive and boring tbh.

[Thatsamazing]

"These women are talented" uhhh... who are you talking about.
"You on the other hand can see nothing but weight" ... I have eyes, yes. Well done.

[mindNsoul]

whatever dude it's not like I care lol

[Thatsamazing]

Uh... okay

[_SOARER]

Hello Based department? haha
I agree with you. It may seem harsh, but its good you call attention to it.
Women can improve themselves so much more through diet and exercise and save money by doing so. Instead they try to cover and conceal. Its sad. And the worst part is the friends, who applaud their friends for these superficial things! It re-enforces the laziness.

Also all that time spent on superficial appearance stuff, instead of developing character.

[sensible27]

Except they don't? It's just easier to do makeup I guess in some sense than lose weight and try to be fit. I personally don't like all the makeup and stuff, natural is Better but what you incentivise is what you get, if you incentivise makeup don't be surprised when it shows up.

[JaneDoe377]

Why does it matter? Women notice small things. And not all fat people are fat because they don't care about themselves. You have no idea what someone's problems are in life. It's pretty ignorant to assume. But hey, ignorance is bliss so you must be pretty happy 😁

[Thatsamazing]

It matters for many reasons, you may as well ask why anything else that matters in life, matters. What a pointless thing to say.
"And not all fat people are fat because they don't care about themselves." 1) Answer the question. 2) Then why are they fat.
"You have no idea what someone's problems are in life." 1) Answer the question. 2) Why is this relevant.
"It's pretty ignorant to assume." 1) Answer the question. 2) Not really.
"But hey, ignorance is bliss so you must be pretty happy " 1) Answer the question. 2) Good one. You're very creative.

[JaneDoe377]

There's this thing called health problems, which can cause weight gain. You are not imaginative enough to think of that apparently. Have you ever had a surgery? Probably not but the other thing is that, everyone's bodies respond differently to things in life. And yes, I am creative. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I meant, why do YOU care about other people's weight? Must not have much going on in the 🧠 I guess, to be so shallow. Just an observation. Don't get butt hurt. I was genuinely curious why you care but, you didn't answer the question either.

[Thatsamazing]

Uh... no one's butt hurt, unless you are. You made an idiotic comment. It's not complicated.
Anyway, answer the question.

[JaneDoe377]

I did. I said women notice and appreciate the small things. They dress pretty for other women, not for guys. Because most guys don't notice anything but tits, ass and weight. They're unobservant, for the most part

[Thatsamazing]

You mean, we notice the things that actually matter? Correct. We do.

[JaneDoe377]

😅🤣

[JaneDoe377]

So you'd rather that women behave like men.

[Thatsamazing]

No, I'd rather that people didn't extrapolate nonsense (like you just did) from messages that don't even remotely imply what they think they do.

[nella965]

@janedoe377 you don’t have to take him seriously. He’s known to everyone on here to have an abnormal obsession with fat folks.

[thegirlfromthething]

Women do obsess about weight and they obsess over other aspects of their appearance too. They notice things beyond size, so if they see a woman who’s fat but also has great nails or hair then they’re going to say something about that area.

[Thatsamazing]

I know, the point is that those tip-of-the-iceberg things don't matter if the rest of the iceberg is, well... ^ like that.

[nella965]

What is your weird obsession with weight? Like literally that’s the only thing you talk about on here 24/7?

Did an overweight person punch you in the face in the past?
Is that why you have such a huge problem?

The girls don’t comment about weight because they don’t have this abnormal obsession with weight , unlike you

[mindNsoul]

Ikr like get a life

[Thatsamazing]

Having eyesight isn't weird, and you didn't answer the question. Fail.

[BrownBratzDoll]

I think a fat girl. fucked his world and he is still mourning over his heart break lmaoooooo

[nella965]

@thatsamazing everyone has eye sight but everyone is obsessed with fat people , like you. Maybe see a mental doc

[nella965]

@thatsamazing everyone has eye sight but NOT everyone is obsessed with fat people like you. Maybe see a Mental doC

[Thatsamazing]

@BrownBratzDoll Mmm, fascinating. Good guess. You must be highly educated.

[CreativeMumble]

Fitness isn't for everyone. And maybe she likes how she looks. Why does that matter?

Just because you would like skinny, doesn't mean all others do.

[Thatsamazing]

As I sadly had to tell the other chick here, it matters for many reasons, you may as well ask why anything else that matters in life, matters. What a pointless thing to say.
"And maybe she likes how she looks." ... no she doesn't, and if she does, she shouldn't.
"Just because you would like skinny, doesn't mean all others do." All others with brains do, I'm afraid. And you didn't answer the question.

[CreativeMumble]

It would be ideal if people wanted to be healthy, but that's just not how it works because of different upbringings, interests, personalities, and other things.
Let people have their sizes and don't shame them.

Also, the things with their appearance are something they can change short term and therefore easier.

[Thatsamazing]

"Also, the things with their appearance are something they can change short term and therefore easier." Correct. It's an issue of laziness. Thank you.

[nella965]

@thatsamazing there are lazy people in this world. Who ever told you that lazy people never existed?

[Thatsamazing]

@nella965 ... Huh? Are you okay? What are you even talking about?

[Miley19new]

Because it's easier to dress up, get your nails done etc rather than working out and taking actual care of yourself. I also think the lady in the pic was thinner/fitter, she would get less compliments from other women.

[Thatsamazing]

It is easier, you're right. Shame.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Because not everyone judges beauty the same. What your may not think is attractive, someone else might. You obviously have a bias against fat people, correction fat women, but not everyone shares your bias...

[LEADFOOTboi]

no matter how much lipstick you put on a pig... it's still a pig

[Anonymous]

I am the opposite I obsess over weight, I have to lose the last 7lbs from the 21lbs I gain for eating junk food for a month for charity. I don't wear make up, but if it's a date I will wear light make up, so that it looks like me.

[jahaims]

They are groomed that way from a young age by society. Their are billion dollar companies that only exist because they trick society into putting value into invaluable things.

[Thatsamazing]

That could be part of it I suppose, sure.

[Texaskid1]

It's how they compete with each other ; they physical appearance. They know that who ever looks best will get the most attention from men.

[Thatsamazing]

Right but that isn't the point-- the point is that they aren't looking their best because they're focused on bullshit rather than real things.

[BrownBratzDoll]

U dont know if they are working out or not. Some of these chicks with fit bodies and ungroomed faces look crazy

[Thatsamazing]

... What?

[BrownBratzDoll]

What good is a trophy wife body with an ebt face. They just look homeless in the face. I would rather have a banging face over a banging body. Men who care more about the body and dont care
About the
Face 9x out 10 just purely trying to fuck.

[Thatsamazing]

You're funny. I like you.

[Anonymous]

Because people have their own opinions on what they want to focus on... plus she is pretty and I love that outfit...

[Opinion Owner]

It can matter to a women for many reasons, and why they dont care about their weight, well in some case health problems means people can't do anything about their weight as as such they might go to make up and dressing up to build their own self esteem

[Thatsamazing]

"well in some case health problems means people can't do anything about their weight" Uhhh... the weight IS the health problem. What do you mean?

[nella965]

@thatsamazing, it’s not their health problem that you’re concerned about. It’s your mental health problem that you need to find a cure for. I don't know why you’re so obsessed with other people

[Opinion Owner]

@thatsamazing there are multiple things that can cause a person not to lose weight. Thyroid problems for one are a massive cause of problems with weight, it is a medical problem that can't just be fixed with "not being lazy"...

[Thatsamazing]

@nella965 Hi. Do you know what a logical fallacy is?

[Thatsamazing]

One hundred million people in America don't have thyroid problems, sis. Stop lying to yourself.

[Opinion Owner]

That is ONE of the possibilities... there are plenty of others... reactions to medical drugs, possibly health conditions that mean people just can't get out as much...
But overall, if you dont like it, you can suck it as if the person is happy how is it hurting you...

[Thatsamazing]

Yes-- the weight IS the health problem. I already said that.

[Opinion Owner]

Well your existence is a health problem to everyone else... you and your shitty attitude

[Thatsamazing]

Mmm... yes, fascinating. You have many interesting things to say. Please, tell us more. (gets popcorn)

[Opinion Owner]

You am ugly fuck anyway, no wonder you dont understand why women value doing their hair...

[Thatsamazing]

Mmm, yes I see. What else? Man, this popcorn is great.

[Anonymous]

When they dress up and wear makeup an otherwise fat girl like that might be able to pull guys that are hot and in great shape.

[Thatsamazing]

Uhhh... no, unless they're morons.

[AcidT0y]

Most people try to be nice. Especially if they're her friends or whatever.

[Anonymous]

Because WE like it? Why do men obsess so heavily over video games and football?

[Opinion Owner]

And her weight may not matter to her so why should it to you? It’s none of your business ya weirdo.

[In_Trance]

Because mass media tells them that those things matter and weight doesn't

[Anonymous]

There has to be big girls guys don’t want to date that way there’s still someone in short ugly guys league
