'A gentleman always pays for the first date'

In general girls make themselves attractive because of other girls telling them they're unattractive? As a girl, that's news to me.
I'd say most girls make themselves look attractive because making oneself look attractive is enjoyable, boosts confidence and makes one attractive to the opposite sex.
Agreed as I was trying to make a point, and I have edited my post, also I never said "girls telling them they're unattractive" I just said a competition starts between girls, I also said it is a generalisation, and seen as this thread seems to be deal with Male verus Female egos, I thought it better that I start off my post with a generalisation to make my point clear, Sorry if I came across offended you, my apologies.

Guys impress the girl you like with romantic guestures, Bring her to a place you know and is full of trials.
Girls if you really like him expect to dress down for the occassion (always have it in your warridope) you never no when that first date may come along and it could be fun 0 -

Hmm, but it's kind of hard to catch squirrels. They make the Chinese acrobatic team look like Jabba the Hut.0 -

Nah it wasn't offensive.
The "women make themselves attractive for other women" notion though is largely a myth.
And I completely agree with you, but I have seen to many people in my life hurt because (including me) competiting with fellow friends, about who is the most attractive, who is the smartest, myth it could be but it happened to alot of people I care about, which makes it happen, an occassion happening.
Again my example was a rough generalisation, based on this thread itself, nor did I suggest that women we're making themselves attractive for each other, I just suggested that maybe the competition happens a little bit earlier, again in general term, (which is always an extreme generalistion)
I did actually make some other great points, in the post I made, would you agree or disagree with them, I would actually would love you to take a look at them and her your opinion on them.
Rather than you taking a sentence of it out of context, I believe that's fair 0 -
I've been on plenty of dates - and I always get dolled up to the nines for them as I like to look my best, but thanks for offering what you personally perceive as the way to broach it. We're all different eh?BlueSmoker wrote: »instead about arguing about the first date, go out on one, it actually pritty amazing.:)

What do you mean by warridope?0 -

I wasn't taking anything out of context, I was just struck by a particular thing you said. Much of the rest of what you say, I don't really follow.0 -

I can't spell for crap and my spell checker is acting up wardrope, warrobe, I give up something a person puts their clothes in, hanging up
Sorry I didn't mean to imply people haven't dated before in this thread, just at the fact if the need to worry/agrue about who is paying for the date, that maybe they should re think why they are dating. I generally date someone I'm interested in, and we generally come to an agreement of what we like, before the first date, and then we agree to do it (the first date) I'm never worried about who will pay for it, it just never crosses my mind, we get to spend time together and we like each other end of
Sorry if I confused you, but that is more or less what I meant (when saying people need to date more, it was a general term to this thread not anyone in paticular)

I think I remember hearing that ye olde kings used to have the one room for their monies as well as their robes and fancy things. So 'ward' as in to guard and 'robe' as in ... ehh robes. So wardrobe was a room where you gaurded/warded stuff like the Kings monies but also where he kept his robes. Presumably the kings liked staring at their monies while getting dressed up and shit so it was handy to have their robes all in the same place as their spondoolies and jewels and crap. But commoners have no monies or robes and tend to be short of rooms so they just stuck their Levis and shirts and things in a little box dealy with doors and called it a wardrobe to make it sound fancier.
(I may have dreamt this.)0 -
I wasn't being smart, just checking in case it's a foreign term or something...
No worries, I was trying to be funny.
Great debate though. Looking forward to more in the future you are a great debater on here, I nod towards you out of respect **Nods** Looking forward to catching with you again, take care **leaves with a nod of respect**:D 0 -

I did actually hear the "oh I tried not wearing makeup a couple days and someone said I looked ill, so I'm wearing it again" in work twice recently...0 -

Probably because you looked pale without foundation or whatever.
I don't know anything about make up, I swear...:o
hehe i believe you
seriously though, ive heard sooo many girls, when not wearing makeup or much of it, saying oh god i look so pale/white today
and saying that like it a bad thing :eek: , so chicks want to look brown then and that makes you look healthy :rolleyes: the mind boggles sometimes with things like that!0 -

I know, most girls look better without make-up and a good few Irish women seem to be unable to apply it properly and seem to be a bit liberal with the stuff.
Touching yourself up :rolleyes:, is grand, and a little bit doesn't do you any harm but some women cake the stuff on, or think they're Cleopatra with the eye-liner.
And travellers with fake tan look like oompa loompas.0 -

well, the eyeliner thing i do myself tbh
, but have to agree with you entirely on everything else, bring back the days before tan/pore cloggingly awful makeup was the norm and a little makeup just to accentuate things etc was the way to go 0 -

This is completely off the topic of the thread but most girls don't look better without make-up. Most girls look better with NATURAL make-up than caked on but there are VERY few women in the world who look better without make-up than with a little bit on.0 -

I prefer true beauty.:rolleyes::o:D;)
Fair enough, everyone has different opinions I just find that most men who say "women look better without make-up" don't tend to realise that the women they think are wearing no make-up actually have a little on. Often you'll see pictures of celebrities pictured looking "au naturel" and beautiful but again, most of the time they do have make-up on. The more honest photos of celebs without make-up are the ones where they're looking blotchy and with bags under their eyes. Of course this isn't always true. I saw a picture of Rihanna recently where she had absolutely no make-up and although she looked tired and her skin tone was a little uneven, she still looked absolutely beautiful. Then again, she has age on her side
It's the same with fake tan, and I've made this argument numerous times on boards! "Women look horrible with fake tan on." Correction: "Women look horrible with badly applied/too dark/too orange/etc fake tan on." There are lots of women out there who wear fake tan well, apply it properly, wear a suitable colour to their skin and don't overdo it, and most people (particularly men) wouldn't even realise they were wearing tan. It's the ones who overdo it on the orange stuff who give the rest of the fake-tan wearers bad names 0 -

Hilarious but every word is true. I've had so many men comment on how they hate girls with fake tan and how I've lovely naturally sallow skin not realising i've been helping it since I was a teenager. Ditto on the make-up thing. While the clown face is horrific, there isn't a woman alive who looks better with bags under her eyes and invisible eyelashes.0 -

it's become what's considered healthy, and in fairness how many pale skinned models do you see about?That's right Rose, you're single at 30 because there's something wrong with ALL of the men. That must be it, couldn't be any other reason.
what's being 30 got to do with anything? that's a little harsh tbh.0 -
