Guys, Do men actually prefer natural women?

Question

I have seen on social media about how women said if they choose to go without makeup and not shave, they’d be called ugly and not taking care of themselves. From my experience I chose not to wear makeup because I don’t like how it feels on my skin since I felt more comfortable with a bare face. When I go out with a bare face and no shaving, I didn’t get hit on by men which to me it’s to my advantage since getting hit on stresses me out big time. My best friend wears makeup whenever she wants to and I’m fine with it. All women and girls have the rights to do what they want when it comes to makeup and shaving. Are men put off by body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, acne marks, dark circles, mole, etc?

I’m certainly more attracted to a natural women than most of what my eyes see on a daily basis , in the form of women with Botox, fish lips , , caked in makeup , hair extensions. , fake breast’s and more.. that’s honestly vile.

There is nothing wrong with a little makeup to accentuate your best features , I promote that but when your neck is a different color than your face I don’t know whether to pity or to laugh but I’m not going near it

I only ever speak for me though , can’t for men in general , we are all different.

Cellulite is normal , skin blemishes are normal etc , I’m not put off by ‘normal’ and prefer it to fakery

You said  "All women and girls have the rights to do what they want when it comes to makeup and shaving." how is that even a question? Of course they do. So do men have the right to be stenchy neckbeards. If people dislike you for it, don't blame them. You have to define "men prefer". Do you mean "it sexually arouses them"?  That you complain about being "hit on", of course you mean that. well, you should know that materialistic godlessness is conditioning men to be aroused 24/7. Some who fell pray to brainwashing will hit on you no matter what. It's like indians rape women even though they already wear hijabs.

"Are men put off by body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, acne marks, dark circles, mole, etc?" Of course they are. That is a list of NEGATIVES. However, just because you have negatives doesn't mean men prefer them to be covered up. Also, moles actually aren't negatives and are even called beauty marks by some.

If you meant "do men prefer women that don't hide their negatives", it depends. If a woman still looks bad after using a bunch of makeup or we can tell she is using a lot of make up, we probably dislike it. If a woman uses makeup well enough such that we can't tell, then we will prefer her BECAUSE we think her NATURAL look is better than another's. Also, shaving vs not shaving isn't really natural vs unnatural. That's maintenance vs non-maintenance. And there is a WIDE variety of thoughts by men and hair on women, a lot depending on which spot you are referring to as well.

Many guys will say that and even make themselves believe that namely because they want to think that they want wholesome non-vain women. Here is the truth, humans of both genders don't look good in our natural state, which would mean un-groomed and un-washed. Men prefer women with makeup, whether women want to wear makeup is up to them and pardon me if I am wrong, but I think that unless she is preparing for a date or a single's event or something, when a woman wears makeup and perfume she is doing it for herself not men.

When men say all natural we’re usually referring to wearing no makeup. It doesn’t mean don’t shave. Most men aren’t into that. But the no makeup, that’s what most men mean. My girl only wears makeup if we’re going some where special or something. Other than that she hasn’t for 18 years. I like it better that way. A little makeup isn’t bad, especially if she uses it to enhance something that’s already beautiful about her. Like her eyes or her cheeks. But yes I don’t think when men say all natural they’re not talking about not shaving. I don’t like it myself, some men do.

snapkingmatt · Answer

I think the trick is to highlight your beauty. Yes, I like the skin shaved. And I like a bit of eyeliner and mascara on a girl. But I don't want them to overdo it. I see girls wearing complete masks of skin cream, with extentions, botox-lips and cologne you can smell miles away. If that's the case, I can't see your natural beauty anymore. In that case, please, just show me some pimples.

WhiteOwl · Answer

I do. It's not like there aren't "natural" women I find unattractive, we all have our own preferences after all. It's not that I don't like makeup, but generally it's easy to tell when she's applied A LOT of it. My preferences are she uses little to none. Of course, it's her face. Who am I to tell somebody else how much makeup to put on their own face? To whichever women decide to read this: put as much or as little makeup as you want on. But if your goal is to attract men, you'll probably catch gazes from different men depending on how much you apply makeup. Some men really like makeup, others prefer if you didn't as they may already really appreciate your natural beauty. Then there are of course other men who simply won't care or don't have preferences either way.

Hairy legs and underarms are a no go.

As far as makeup goes, it is good to use a minimum to cover shadows and even out skin tones. It's helps to use mascara and a bit of eye liner to accentuate eyes. And some kind of lipstick or lip gloss accentuates lips and makes them look tender.

But giant, fake eye lashes, tons of makeup, and gaudy lipstick is unappealing.

aaron13547 · Answer

I prefer what makes you happy. There is nothing wrong with not wearing makeup. I think I like no make up more so that when there is a special occasion you actually want to get all dolled up for. It makes it mean twice as much.

To be expected to be at your best everyday makes your best just normal. I dont like that idea thats how we learn to take things for granted and it creates suffering.

dislikesmath · Answer

I accidentally put no (was thinking something else) I'm almost 40 I've seen lots of girls, been around loads of teen girls I berly notice hair on their arms, mustaches. I'm guessing they were still very young 🤔. I had a teacher helper very pretty tall white girl, was one of those that didn't shave I guess I could see all her arm hair was never put off. What I don't like make up, really strong perfumes, high maintenance girls. But I have to agree them shaving looks really nice 🙂.

HighValue · Answer

The only thing from that list that most men don't like is a woman that NEEDS makeup. Men don't want just any woman without makeup, they want one that is actually attractive enough without it, but the MAJORITY of women don't look nearly as good as they try to pretend and that is why they hide their shameful looks so often.

AviatorTom · Answer

Yes, Yes and more Yes.

Unless a guy is looking for a quick hookup or one-night stand, we guys are looking for a natural woman. Think of it this way. What should the woman look like when we wake up next to her every morning? Natural, not fake.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

When men say they like natural, what we mean is that we like minimal enhancements.. But we also still like the women to take care of herself and make herself look good and healthy.. But I don't think most guys mean "all natural, don't shave" type of women.. Just like when women say that they like dad bods they don't mean skinny, fat middle aged looking guys.. You could also break it down to people not knowing exactly what they mean when they say those things..

AngryCarl2 · Answer

Firstly, make up isn't unnatural. It's made by combining naturally occurring ingredients. Secondly, if women actually started walking around without make up on, men would be the first to complain.

As for body hair, yes that can be quite off putting for the majority of men, but that is likely due to convention.

admles · Answer

It really depends on how they do it, for me.

A woman using makeup to enhance her existing features, that I like.

When they go overboard and look like a drag queen and completely change their appearance, that isn't for me personally, but hey, they do it for themselves, not for men.

I like it when a woman uses make up in a way that it doesn't look like she's using any.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Here's the hard truth for you. Yes and especially if they still look good without makeup. Those guys you see admiring girls wearing makeup is because they're just admiring their makeup not really who they are. They have the rights to do whatever they want but that doesn't mean men cannot have preferences.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on the man, some like natural women, some don't.

Personally, I'm not into girly girls, I prefer tomboyish girls, who wear no makeup, or just basic cosmetics (primer, concealer, face powder).

Naturally beautiful girls need no makeup.

As for shaving, I prefer naturally hairless girls.

If they are not natural, it's ok to use depilator, most guys don't like hairy girls.

Are women put off by balding, fat, insecure, poor guys?😆🤦‍♂️

There isn't a yes or no answer to your question. But there probably is a pie chart somewhere that supports your suspicions.😆

I will say this, a woman's effort an attitude CAN go a LONG way. My guess is when your heart wasn't in to wearing makeup (and I can't blame you there), you're attitude and effort probably wasn't either.

Hope that helps.

My wife is beautiful but not perfect. She is in her mid fifties but she looks 45. She has a sexy body but she does have some Imperfections like cellulite and belly rolls. I love every part of her and just love making love to her sexy body when i can.

PenquinKing · Answer

Natural to a point, no makeup is all fine. I prefer a woman who does not need to wear makeup. Much better for the skin. However, shaving is another issue. As a metro man, I shave the oder areas only. I used to swim and tapper, but not anymore, it's a pain, and I have blond and fair hair so not a real issue. But I am not into the European female look. Just me, and I think it just depends on the guy.

My wife doesn't use much make-up, she has stretch marks and cellulite, and a full bush down below.  To me, she's the most beautiful woman in the world.

eninytxis · Answer

Depends how she looks naturally. But even a woman that's hot naturally always looks better with some makeup and perfume then without.

slatyb · Answer

My wife wears lipstick and little else, never does her eyes. I'm happy with that, and happy without it.

Pohjolan · Answer

There's a catch 22 here. Natural women are more likely the ones who don't need makeup.

Like for a example I'm acquitances with a tomboy who is a 9. There aren't many 10s around who she would need to compete with.

liketopullout · Answer

My wife of almost 20 years does not know a thing about make-up. I love her all the more for this.
