Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI think that men and women are both naturally equal... under different circumstances, that is. In today's society because we have grown accustomed to what a "beautiful" lady wearing make-up, a girl that does not look like that naturally will be seen as not that attractive. I think we all know the well known phrase, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". In our society we have what we expect men to look like and what we expect women to look like. Since what we expect men to look like is their natural self, they can reach the expectation fairly easily. Since what we expect women to look like is themselves with beauty products, when a girl is all natural she fails to reach that expectation. Therefore, we see her as not as attractive as she could be.
If we lived in a society that viewed women naturally without make-up, our expectations will start to be what a real natural woman looks like. And therefore, making it easier for a girl that is natural to meet those expectations.
Also got to remember that because women use make-up, it can make an ugly girl look attractive. So, when we see a girl that is attractive with make-up and ugly without, we think... wow, she's hideous without all that make-up. We see plenty of ugly girls faking at being attractive because of their make-up, and we start to conclude that girls are not naturally that attractive. In reality, there are plenty of naturally attractive females... and naturally attractive males. There are also plenty of naturally ugly females and naturally ugly males. The difference... an ugly female can fake being attractive and give us the false impression of how many attractive girls are out there. An ugly guy is an ugly guy... they don't fake being attractive.. so, we know what they look like and we know what to expect. Once that ugly girl removes her make-up we all go in shock... Like wow, she's just not attractive. If guys wore make-up and made themselves more attractive because of it. The same thing would happen82 Reply

My father has brought this up before and said that 'most' women primarily rely on makeup and cosmetic to get dolled up where-as men do not usually wear makeup. I, though, do not see a problem with make-up because even Brad Pitt has said "Basically, when you whittle everything away, I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.” It's the smarter thing to do given you care about your appearance.
I like the all natural look. 'Grey sweatpants, no makeup, so perfect' -John Mayer, 'Comfortable' I think that Princess Diana and Jessica Biel fit this bill. I have a pinterest of 'Qualities of my future wife' where it has Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake and she has no makeup and she looks incredible. Justin is so lucky to be able to wake up to her every morning.
Are men naturally better looking that women? Is the most beautiful woman more beautiful that the most handsome man? Good question. And the answer is that you can't compare. Each gender has their own qualities. Women, however, have porcelain, soft, smooth skin, luscious kissable lips, sunshine eyes, cute as a button nose, motor boatin' Himalayan mountain tittays, ass like a model, baby belly button, hot pocket vagina, and many more... And plus, women usually maintain themselves better through personal hygeine and put more thought and planning into their dress than men, which is very much appreciated. What I am trying to say is that if I were a woman, I'd probably be a lesbian. Thank God I am a man.20 Reply
LOL.. I don't agree at all with this. Women.. men.. both attractive. It's just a matter of preference which one you prefer sexually. I'm a pansexual who is attracted to all, but I do think women are visually more pleasing, especially a woman's body. Men in general actually HAVE to work out or else they don't have a shape (and no excuses, men have a lot of testerone which makes it easier for them to get in shape, most of them are just lazy and probably still think that women don't mind an out of shape male body) Next to that: women don't need make up either. Most men I've met prefer women without make up actually. So how does that fall in to your view?
Men THINK that they don't need to do anything to make themselves look better. That's those old fashioned ideas about women not being visually attracted to men. That's why there's less pressure on them when it comes to appearance. It's sad to see someone from a younger generation have such ideas about men and women and is still holding on to old gender ideas. Like the idea that men age better. If I look around both men and women look pretty hagard when they get old (40+) lol. There's no difference there. Only people with money seem to age really well, like all those male and female celebrities who can hire personal staff to keep them in shape and feed them the best foods. Or people who live VERY healthy lives (work out a lot and eat clean foods only)20 Reply
The only reason you think this way, is because we make ourself look soooo much better with all these treatments, cosmetics /makeup and such, that when we don't wear them we think of ourselves as ugly, but it's not that, it's just that you're comparing it to your upgraded self! but if makeup were never invented we wouldn't even think we look ugly without it cause we wouldn't have a better imagine of ourselves to compare it with...
Do you see what I mean?
guys don't upgrade they stay the same, so you don't have some other image to compare them with.. if they did you'd think the same that they look much uglier without it.. but society has made it this way..
We all would basically look the same, (hairy humans).. but we ourselves decided that the female must take this and this off and put this and this on to look different from a guy, then when you don't follow these rules you look less of a woman and appear to be less attractive only because you're being compared to something people have classified as better suitable and better looking for a woman.31 Reply
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI asked this question, and received quite a bit of hate. Everyone seems to think women are the best looking. I do not agree, I think men are better looking by nature. Men wake up almost looking their best. Women needs makeup, hair styling and clothes to look decent. I man can turn heads by looking like when he got out of bed. A natural woman, can be pretty, but she won't turn heads. Because there a women with fake eyelashes, who turns them instead of her.

I agree completely. I'm not saying that women are downright not attractive without makeup and stuff (I actually prefer no makeup and minimal makeup), however most women are not going to turn any heads if they look like they rolled out of bed. They are not going to be stunning. Whereas men can look like they rolled out of bed and still catch the attention of women.

I can make the argument that I find the complete opposite is true in that women are better-looking by nature, even without makeup.
Yeah, it's a little difficult to discuss objectively. Good point though, women tend to pile on makeup, but I honestly don't believe it's all too necessary. It can even be a turn-off, especially when it's quite heavy.

I think women look best naturally. They can also look nice with makeup though.
So actually women have more chances to look good :)
If you don't feel confident in going fully natural maybe try using as little as makeup as you can. And go with a LITTLE bit of lipstick and mascara. That looks great too.
So I disagree, I think they can both look good. Depending if the person is attractive or not of course. - +1 y
That's because women who use make-up are usually insecure about themselfs. Men don't give a rats ass what they look lik most of the time.

+1 ywell, it is not actually the physical beauty as being symmetrical that is more or less, but it is rather the different ways of attracting in men and women.
Men's attraction is less physical and more psychological, whereas women's attractiveness is more physical and less psychological. a man when he is both physically carefully symmetrical and psychologically has the ideal manly traits is worshipped, a man with average physical attractiveness but the ideal manly traits is still worshipped, while in women if a woman has physical beauty and feminine traits she's worshipped but when is physically under the average beauty she has not much to offer psychologically to make her attractive. it is because the attractiveness of a woman is much more in the observable side of beauty.
in other words men attract by a simpler natural trait that is first and foremost the willpower. while women have no will involved in their own attractiveness. So they do things to themselves physically to make themselves more appealing and what they do has the equal place that willpower has for men.
A man, straightens up his shoulders, looks wilfully to the front, puts his steps stronger on the ground, and suddenly he is ten times more attractive. a woman adds a lipstick, a fake eyelash, a bit of makeup and a little flower to her hair and suddenly she's ten times more attractive.
Yes, for men it is more natural, and it is more easy. but the essence isn't different. it is only the ways that are different and that is because of the different nature of men and women.
as for physical beauty in general, as I said it is not more or less but equally goes on levels in both men and women.20 Reply
+1 yMake up is less to do with beauty and more to do with femininity. As an artist, I will draw a feminine character with long eyelashes, eyebrows kind of pointing up to make for a pouting look, fuller lips, softer look. With masculinity, I go for dark eyebrows and eyelashes, eyebrows pointed down a bit in a sexy, serious look, hard mouth set in a line. Some men who are gay and flamboyant will wear make-up to achieve a feminine look to show he is the submissive in the sexual relationship. It gives them the impression of bigger eyes which seem vulnerable and kind. Narrow eyes (can be highlighted with eyeliner) gives an impression of a more mysterious, dark character (hence why some male models on cologne covers will have eyeliner). I think both sexes are sexy and beautiful, but 'm all for traditional feminine/masculine looks. With females, I am a bit biased and will find the mysterious, dark look attractive on her. With males, again I'm biased and unfair- but zero attraction to feminine thing.
As a heteroflexible, I can tell you I see a different beauty in males and females. Guys, i love their masculinity, their hard, lean bodies, their strong neck, arms, shoulders, that sexy, arrogant, testosterone air about them. So basically, with men, I am hardcore into masculine men. With women, I fancy a feminine woman. She can wear pants and eyeliner, but she has to have long hair, make-up, look classy/feminine. I don't go for masculine girls, just as I don't go for feminine guys.22 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yomg thats so true lol Take any hot girl and take away her makeup, figure enhancing materials (good bra, etc.), don't let her shave or pluck her eyebrows, and no fancy flattering clothing... well, lets just say even the hottest girls won't be so hot anymore. Not necessarily unattractive, but men do very little to be striking. They have better facial features too. While some women do have angular, sculpted faces (like most high fashion models), many more men have them. Good cheekbones, sculpted jaw bones, also I've noticed men have better eyebrows. lol Their bodies burn fat better compared to most women, they're taller, they age better, etc. Women are beautiful but men are more likely to be naturally striking with minimal to no effort.
I love makeup. I don't wear tons, but I have a look I like. I also like days when I wear no makeup. Id say I am a very pretty girl, but there's absolutely no doubt about it - way more heads turn when I have my makeup on. It enhances whats already there. Men need less enhancement. Their features tend to be bolder anyway, and more striking. Of course not all men are good looking, same for women.30 ReplyI think that we are similar if not equal. I just think that men have lower standards for what makes a woman attractive. Ask women to rate each other and then ask men to rate women. I cann almost assure you that the average score men give will be higher. Men value looks over other attributes. Now with most men not caring for the other attributes at first it makes sense to lower the value of "attractive" to allow more women an opportunity as realistically most guys can't all get the really attractive girls. Now women value status and power more which is why looks is not as important. They would love an attractive man but they are content with a guy who has status and power so they don't really mind.
You can't directly compare male and female physical attractiveness, but I will say that for most mammal males generally look at quantity and females quality102 Reply- +1 y

Lets look at this from in a scientific way
Humans are part of the animal kingdom so let us take a look at other species:
Rooster vs Hen: rooster is colorful and beautiful, hen is not
Lion vs lioness: lion is bigger with visible muscles and big crane, lioness is just a big cat
Male peacock vs female peacock: male peacock is blue with a big beautiful tail, female is just grey
Males are naturally better looking than females in the animal kingdom which includes humans
Human females wear makeup, wax, dye their hair etc... They do all kind of beauty enhancement to look good but human males only need to shave
So human males are NATURALLY better looking than females83 Reply- 720 opinions shared on Other topic.
+1 yMost men don't wear makeup, therefore we perceive "no makeup" to be the standard. Women can either wear makeup and be "better looking" (as defined by current society) or not wear it and be "less beautiful" aka less emphasis on features. It's not that men are so much better looking than women, it's that men don't have two possible ways of looking (enhanced and not) so they look really good since all of them are fairly unenhanced. Kind of like how lots of people looked good *relative to others* in the 1980/ despite clothing being hideous lol.

Not at all, women don't 'need' makeup the thing is that it's acceptable for women to do it and pretty much unacceptable amongst men to use it unless they're actors. I don't see why women like men at all then again i'm a straight male... in saying that girls are far prettier and even a lot of women go for feminine guys. Fair enough if women want to go for a masculine guy, but you'll never see the average guy going for a masculine woman.

No one "needs" make up dude. We are USED to seeing women with it, and men without. So women are being held to a standard of beauty which can usually only be accomplished with make up. Everyone would technically look better if they at least used foundation and powder and whatever. That doesn't mean they "need it" I don't even own anything but eye make up (which I seldom wear) and I get by.

The primary difference seems to be that the idea of female beauty usually stems as a result of daily grooming habits- makeup, doing hair, picking out the best outfit; the idea of male beauty usually stems as a result of daily exercise- a good physique and proper eating habits.
Hence, a man with a great physique looks good whether he's in a suit or just rolled out of bed in his boxers. A woman, on the other hand, is likely to need daily maintenance rituals to look like a female ideal (short, male bed hair looks better than long, female bed hair; also shaving legs and pits). Now, most men would likely disagree that women still usually look good before makeup and such, but the media's ideal female beauty requires more grooming than the male one, usually.03 Reply- +1 y
Everything you just said basically just brought out why the answer is yes, not no.
Makeup, doing hair, picking out the best outfit, etc. is not natural but instead are cosmetic enhancements. So to say that ideal female beauty comes from such cosmetic enhancements is stating that women are not NATURALLY beautiful but instead need to keep up their daily grooming habits in order to be considered so. Whereas a guy can just workout regularly and he's a-okay. - +1 y
That was pertaining to media standards of beauty.
Male models don't have to do as much grooming to be handsome as female models have to do to be beautiful (that I know of). For everyday people, though, men are either handsome or not (working out doesn't fix short, ugly, etc.), and the same applies to women. The difference is that makeup can be used to get everyday women to look better, but that doesn't happen with men.
When people say men are naturally better looking, it's usually because they're looking at model-tier men, not regular joes. - +1 y
Oh, I'm talking about regular, every day people, not models or celebrities.
I know plenty of women who are pretty without makeup. Pretty women are extremely common and can be found everywhere. But the vast majority of women aren't true beauties without some sort of extra grooming.
Men can be lazy and skimp on grooming habits and still be eye catchers. A man's attractiveness is simply more of a roll out of the bed, I-woke-up-like-this, natural type. Women, not so much.
+1 yThis is actually a varying poll. NATURALLY, meaning the absence of makeup, beauty products, etc. (Most helpful opinion) Women naturally are more attractive from ages 12-14 until about age 25-32. Men on the other hand don't normally become more attractive until around 13-21 (slower physically maturing means it takes longer/lasts longer) then they don't start to look older until around ages 43-58. Women are natural more attractive when they are younger, being we are in a sense animals, this is to help find a mate. The males are meant to find a young but mature female for obvious reasons. To put it simply: women are naturally more attractive sooner AND overall, men are more attractive with time, but not overall more.
Hope I've helped!11 Reply- +1 y

+1 yActually, women wear makeup because women have different personalities whereas we are more insecure. Its not that we need makeup because we aren't good looking. We're just so used to seeing ourselves with makeup that once we don't there's such a big difference that we think we're ugly, but thats not the case of course. Also, we perceive some features or styles as a feminine style or a masculine style. So men have features which wouldn't look good highlighted with contouring or lipstick. We just perceive red lips and rosy cheeks and long eyelashes as feminine features, so men don't wear it because they would look "girly". This is my own opinion, i'm not defending my own sex. This is really how I see it, and many other people do too, in society makeup is just feminine, so girls wear it, and in modern society as well due to polls and surveys girls tend to be more insecure than boys.

+1 yit's because society's standards for beauty in women are based on women who wear makeup, have had augmentations, reductions, etc, and have infinite amounts of money to buy flattering clothes. most people i talk to (including myself actually) think women are actually more aesthetically pleasing than men. there's something about the shape of a woman and the way she carries herself that is more appealing. i'm sure not everyone thinks this but most people with whom i have discussed it think this. and even an ugly girl usually isn't actually ugly and there is still something beautiful about her.

But in response to what you said about men being beautiful without plastic surgery & make up, women can be beautiful without those things as well. Women just feel pressured to do these things to compete with other women who are doing these things. They don't want to be less attractive than other women, but in reality, plastic surgery can make people look worse. I say accept what you look like, & find someone who sees you as beautiful.

It's not that men are naturally better looking, it's that they less pressure on them as far as looks.
With men, it's either you're born "hot" or you're not. They most they can do is go to the gym , shower and have a decent haircut to help.
With women: If they wear a booty pop, a pushup bra, a girdle, make up and hair extensions/bleach/dye/perm, have their nails done, they'll be equal to the "hot" girl.

From a purely superficial perspective, a girl who's an 8 out of 10 will generally get more offers than a guy who's also an 8 out of 10 comparatively speaking. It therefore pays more in evolutionary terms for females to artificially enhance their attractiveness since they get better returns. While guys *may* be naturally prettier than girls, it doesn't affect us nearly as much since it won't increase our odds of reproducing as much.

In that world, I think men and women would be equally beautiful.

+1 yAs someone who is more easily attracted to guys, I have to say no. It's all in the societal beauty standards, and for about the past hundred years in the USA at least those have been set by corporations trying to sell massive amounts of products to women.

+1 yOr, is it possible that we have a warped scale of female beauty today, due to so much makeup and such?
Though you also have to keep in mind, those women that look stunning with a ton of makeup... how many of them are past their prime, like they're in their 30's? Or how many of them don't live a good lifestyle, like take care of themselves, eat right, don't drink?32 Reply- +1 y
in what regard?
+1 yNot if you ask me, voted B). It's just that more girls are brainwashed into believing that they're not attractive without paint on their faces. Look into KILLING US SOFTLY 4 if you want to know more about this issue.

Technically, as long as a girl is healthy she's good looking, as the cavemen would have though. But living in 2014 has changed what people like.
00 ReplyApples and oranges. The qualities that make men good looking are not the same that make a woman good looking. And if you don't think men have to go to lengths to look good, you are sadly mistaken. Maybe the routine isn't quite as complex, but the men that look good can't just ride on their genes' coattails.

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI'm disagree. I'm only attracted to men, but I've seen more pretty/cute women than good looking men. There's good looking, average and less from both genders, but I just thinks handsome men are more rare than pretty women. I thinks this is subjective by the way. I'm not sure if that's because of the makeup. Some women wears the no-makeup makeup look.
20 ReplyI think that if you are more attracted to women you can't say men look better.
girls are attracted to guys by nature so they can mention it and I could say men look better most of the time but some women can be too hot (without make up). I would have the guts to say men are uglier cause I am more attracted to women10 Reply2.7K opinions shared on Other topic. No, women have the more naturally beautiful bodies, soft etc so beautiful. Women just feel this false need (thanks to society/ media) to keep picking and tweaking at themselves. It's not necessary

Im not gay but there are many hot men out there
And men dont wear makeup an all these hot women wear makeup when they take it off they look like hideous beasts - +1 y
@womenworship I've kind of come out since this post. But I still agree that women and men don't need to tweak themselves, and partially that women have naturally softer/ more aesthetically beautiful features but it's more complex than I originally let on.

Lol !! I'm with you on thissss !!!
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI honestly agree that men are naturally more attractive than women. When I see a woman with her makeup well done, she seems to be so gorgeous. When I happen to catch her with it off, she looks like a totally different person and not that attractive. I also wear makeup and I think I look a lot prettier with it on than off. But I have had men who are strangers tell me I look beautiful when I am not wearing it, so to each their own really.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI find both men and women very attractive and hate to see women ( who I think look beautiful as it is) struggling to look like a photo-shopped enhanced magazine cover. As a woman with women friends who struggle daily with weight, skin, life in general, What does an Ideal natural beauty look like? too many women are in the pursuit to find it ( enhancements, nip n tucks, make-up...) I do like how some men just don't care how they look lol Confidence is very appealing but beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. What I find beautiful may look like a beast to someone else and vice versa

+1 yIf what you're saying is true, then why is it that for every 1 employed males stripper, there are about 900 female strippers?
I really don't think make-up is a necessity for girls to look pretty, but it does enhance beauty.01 Reply536 opinions shared on Other topic. Of course all those celeb women I thought were attractive were ugly without that makeup. Make up in the long run ruins your skin. That's why those celeb men can maintain their youth much longer than celeb women. Look up paparazzi photos between celeb men and celeb women then tell me which one looks the same in movies.
20 Replyit's not that women r ugly when they wake up without makeup. it's just that they have to compete with women with makeup. if all the women did not put on make up then they would still look great n striking just like men.

I agree that a lot of women put on more makeup than needed. However, when you think about a lot of female celebrities, they look like plain Janes without makeup but gorgeous with it on. Whereas there's plenty of good looking male celebrities who simply have a nice haircut and suit to help them look good. It just seems like there's abundance of eye-catching guys who don't have any help makeup wise but not many women who look better than average without some makeup help.
+1 yAs a man i think women are way attractive more then men with or without make up. Some guys are better looking maybe because they do a lot matience than a averge women like going to a spa or they have make up artist's and don't for get about air brushing but for average people it can be genetics and as long u have good hygiene and look. in the mirror everyday u should look good.
10 ReplyI think it's because we are biased. In our minds society has us believing girls need make to be attractive. Whereas guys do not. Additionally, you have to look at the hair difference. Guys bed head is entirely different then girls bed head.

+1 yWe men tend to get "handsomer" as we age, women? Generally the cuteness part of them tends to fade.
NAW HOLD ON, not all women do... most of them.
Proof? Did you ask yourselves why older men get attracted, date, or even marry to younger women?13 Reply- +1 y
the only old men that do that are men with lots of money. Just like an old rich man, regular guys would fuck any girl that would throw herself at him and it just so happens that the only girl that would fuck an old rich man is a young gold digger. Thery are always young too becasue the older gold diggers are already married.

Yes that's also true
+1 yWomen don't need to wear so much makeup. They are actually naturally beautiful without realizing it. They have softer skin, better looking hair, possibly eyes too, softer lips. Oh yeah most women have better looking butts and legs.
20 Reply638 opinions shared on Other topic. Men are visual creatures. Women need to be too beautiful to attract men, because beauty signifies health. On the other hand, women pursue men who have status and power and don't care for good looks as much as men.
00 ReplyIt's all personal opinion, Neither look better than others by nature. How you look is how you hold yourself and how you feel about yourself as well. People focus too much on looks, at least i think they do >.>
