Why do women do it?

It's not in our heads! I don't wear make up and I get very little male attention. Also, I get far more attention, and people are generally nicer to me, when I'm dressed up, particularly with heels. I've known so many girls who are mind numbingly boring but who put effort into their appearance and suddenly everyone thinks they're great, even though all they do is stand there looking slightly more pretty than usual. I'm not immune to it though, I have to admit I really like it when suddenly my opinion matters more than it did that morning because my heels make my legs look better.

because most people are blindingly superficial. e.g. all the threads about hot women in this very forum. how many of the women mentioned in those threads have no makeup on? find a candid (not posed and airbrushed) picture of one of those women without makeup on and you'll have your answer.

I have to say, any lads on here that are saying they don't like women wearing make-up are probably greatly exaggerating their case. The reason you think you don't like make-up on women is because when they do it right you don't really notice it. The problem is that they cake it on sometimes.

On a related note- I had the pleasure of sitting across the aisle from quite a beautiful girl on an empty bus earlier. She proceeded to apply more and more make-up on the bus journey, and when I turned around as I was getting off the bus, she looked AWFUL! It was a travesty.

I say girls should wear make up and dress nice, as long as they don't feel like they HAVE to. But too much usually does more damage than too little. I wanna see those cute freckles!

For cetnuries men wore make up as well, first it was only the toffs but then it was a free for all then along came the boring 19 century with like 2 world wars and several other wars and being a hard macho soldier became mega fashionable, and even the brief period of new romantism couldn't re write all that war and army standards.

Shame really cos some guys are so damn sexy with a bit of guyliner and bit of lipstick.

I call bullsh*t on all the men who say they don't like women in make-up.

You're all just thinking of the over done caked on effect. Most of the time when done well, you wouldn't even realise she was wearing make-up it just makes them look naturally better.

There's a different between seeing you at a bar in a bit of make-up and falling in love and seeing a girl without make-up and loving them more.

i fell in love with a girl, because she has a big nose

now far as i'm aware, you can't dolly up a big nose, with a bit of powder puff. jolly up, maybe, but no.

Ok so I should have said "some" women. Why are they so preoccupied with their appearance and make up and all that stuff! It's kind of crazy, lads don't wear make up so why do girls? What do they have to hide, why do they have to bring out their best features, why the revealing clothing?
I mean I'm cool with it but what's their motive?

I was reading about this girl who received silicone injections in her @ss (for crying out loud) and died from the procedure, the first thing I thought was why was she so preoccupied by her appearance and why she was that vain that she thought this was all their was to her life.

Peace out

ouch. UGS* i take it?
