Why do men only notice me when I have makeup on? (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

I have experienced this too. When I do lot of fancy make up, I get so much of attention, even my colleagues are more nice to me as compared to when I don't do any make up.

[Asker]

i totally relate to the nicer part!! even women treat me better!!

[Opinion Owner]

Oh yes, women too. Even the strangers smile at me more often. I guess "men always prefer more natural girls" is a lie.

Makeup was invented to make old or ugly people look younger/prettier by hiding imperfections.

People are more inclined to be social with people who look healthier (it's a biological defense against infections, as in most cases ugliness is caused by illness, and illness caused by infections, so the brain is wired to avoid anyone who looks like they MIGHT have an infectious disease).

Generally cosmetic makeup is a way to fool a person, so it's frowned upon.

very few girls can be pretty without makeup. I find that a lot of the "pretty girls" are just pretty because they use makeup products. If there was no such thing as makeup, there would be way fewer pretty girls.

True dat the amount of male coworkers who complimented me when i had makeup on is obsurd but i still get a little attention with none 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why do men only notice you with makeup on.

Because you’re probably hideous otherwise. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[AnnieBabe]

You look better with the makeup so more men are willing to go out of their way and let you know they've noticed you.

[Apple1996]

Because no guy is actually into the natural face no makeup look. They'll lie and say this but it ain't true

[matchrestore]

I think there's one big exception to this- I think most guys like how their own significant other looks without makeup.

[Apple1996]

@matchrestore very true

[glennos89]

I totally disagree with apple1996. How do you know what guys want exactly? Do you have a penis?🧐

[Apple1996]

@glennos89 because all guys have the same damn type anymore

[glennos89]

All guys are exactly the same right? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Apple1996]

@glennos89 for their type it's seeming so

[bededazzle]

shy guys may not like makeup as much and could be really good at making sure they don't see them checking you out :)

Most men on the street don't know what natural beauty is, so they look for fake beauty. I love when a woman doesn't wear makeup. Allows me to see her true self and I adore her for it.

[Shiva1312]

Because your beauty looks good, it is not the same thing that you don't look good without makeup. Look, you look good. That's why we use makeup to make our beauty a little double. That's why you look good after applying makeup.

[Reem12345reem]

bc u feel more confident and u just have a different vibe/energy , so it attracts people more

[Avicenna]

Men notice you without you even knowing about it.

[Crazyced]

This problem will (is?) become exponentially worst with the prominence of filters.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

I don't know but I prefer the natural look.

[Friendlybro79]

Be happy in your own skin without needing the validation of other people to make you feel pretty.

[Friendlybro79]

You might not be able to notice everyone noticing you so maybe you're super focused when you have makeup on.

[love_conquers_lust]

You don’t know they’re stealing glances when you aren’t looking. That’s why it’s called that.

[Nikki1989]

NEVER do anything just to please men. Please yourself first.

[love_conquers_lust]

What if it pleases one to please others?

[Anonymous]

You are probably not ugly, but you just stand out more with make up.

[YAsQuen]

your so close... Almost as if 90 percent of women using make up is gonna mess up society an especially young girls... When do young girl start using make up now? like 11-12 ish?
