That's not as bad as being dumped on valentines after he cheated with another girl and got her knocked up.... (Found out he was pregnant after break up) and he was supposed to marry her too a month later....
But it's bad when you cake all that makeup on and the one day you don't have any on everyone thinks you're deathly sick. and the fact you look like 2 different people
If it makes people happy, then leave them alone. See, this is my problem with society in general. Women are either fake WITH make-up or we're ugly WITHOUT it. There's no winning.
But what really bothers me, are those, who ignorantly assume that women wear make-up in order to impress guys. No at all. I wear make-up to give me that extra confidence so that I can tackle the day head on! It's got nothing to do with men. People have told me over a million times, "oh what guys are trying to impress." I never really respond, because I don't want to embarrass them by saying "I'm asexual."
I respect their opinions, but they should try to see things from our side as well.
Preach!! I wear it because I have lots of redness around the eyes, and since I dyed my hair black my eyebrows have match now. Also it wakes me up. It helps me not to rub my eyes and get tired during the day.
Exactly! I wear make-up to cover dark under eye circles. I wear it to highlight my eyes. But mostly I wear it because I like how I look when I do. I wear it because it's fun, and It can make me feel better and more pulled together when I'm sick or had zero sleep. I don't wear it for men or to attract men. I wear it for me.
I think it's fine if you don't find caked on make up attractive. It's fine if you don't like the make up look too. But you don't get to tell women what they should or shouldn't do. If a girl asks you specifically what you like, give an honest (and respectful) opinion. Otherwise, don't comment negatively on how another person chooses to present themselves.
They say they only want her to have a good personality but yet they complain about deceptions. If they really cared about personality they wouldn't care about looks
Then what is it? In the case of making you look like a completely different person?

It's like an outfit - a skirt and tights makes your lower half look very different to a pair of baggy jeans, but they're the same legs underneath. It's not deceptive, just a choice to look different. It's silly to think wearing make up makes you a whole different person.
Humans rely on the face to detect emotions. I think it is ok to wear makeup, but when people are putting on that stuff that changes the look of their entire facial structure, that is when it can get confusing. The person you see at night looks completely different than the person you see in the day, and when people change faces, it gets confusing. It is ok if you still do it though, just don't go overboard. And completely hide your face.
Then again, some guys aren't interested in just "choosing" when two girls are set before him. Some guys actually are interested in getting to know a girl and gradually she becomes more beautiful to him and the girl becomes more beautiful to the everyone else because someone loves her.
Yet most of this guy wouldn't even want to date the girl how she looked without make up, honestly. And the comment Jakob made is dumb most foundations are designed to help out you skin. The last comment just no. And girls wear make for THEMSELVES for higher self esteem and confidence not for guys.
Guys seem to only approach the girls who are perfect. Everyone who says they would spare the girl in the first picture a second glance is a fucking lier. MAYBE if girls are LUCKY the guy will come to love her personality and she won't be forced to hide. Don't tell us some bs about "we care about personalities." Than fucking show it. I dare every guy who's reading this to go to work or school tomorrow and fins someone who doesn't look perfect, someone with flaws who most people wouldn't look at twice, and talk to them.
This challenge is for girls too, find a guy who isn't perfect, no ones perfect, everyone should just lower their standards a tiny bit of an inch, and I bet everyone would be a lot happier
Honestly some guys are jerks but do not try to act as if that is all of us. Quite a few if not most of us do look at personality over looks. In fact my first gf never wore makeup and was born without an ear but she was funny and sweet. So please stop assuming that the stereotype is true.
Maybe she wants to wear make up for herself. Some girls would (figuratively) die before going outside with no make up. I say we just let the girls who wear a ton of make up just do what they want..
But the girls who would figuratively die if they went out without make-up feel that way because they don’t want people to see them without make-up. Girls can say “I wear make-up for me” but the end result is that the reason make-up gives them confidence, and ego boost, makes them feel put together, is because they think it makes them look good, and thinking it makes you look good means that you also believe others will think it looks good. It may not necessarily be to attract a partner, but it is always so that other people will think they look good. The only reason to care if you look good is because you don’t to look bad to others. Any girl/woman who says otherwise is lying to themselves.
ya, excessive makeup sucks, but which version would you honestly be more attracted to and ask out, top or bottom? Many people are naturally more attracted to the bottom one, physically speaking at least
oh shut the fuck up you douches, how about YOU start paying attention to the girls' personality instead of looking at how much makeup she has on? If she's a tool, she's a tool and no amount of makeup influences that. There's plenty of both mean and nice girls who wear makeup. You don't own her face and you don't tell her how to spend her money so just crawl back into the douchey hole you crawled out of.
Why do men dislike makeup so much? When I go out to a party or run errands I like to do my makeup for myself. Not because I'm insecure, but because I like to bring out the features I already have. I watch this girls youtube videos and she has a great personality as well. And her interests include makeup. Big flipping deal! I hear guys say all the time "take off that makeup! We don't like girls with makeup" and then they see a girl without makeup and say something like "ew she's ugly, look at that acne!" (Not saying all guys) And FYI makeup isn't going to ruin your skin if you remember to wash your face every morning and night and get a foundation that doesn't clog pores to much. I just have bad skin in general, even before I even started wearing makeup. Makeup is ART and it's HARD. I am still trying to master it. It's not a useless hobby because if you get good, you can get paid very well. Also, that Jakob guy sounds like an asshole. He obviously knows nothing about makeup.
(One more thing) I think of makeup as an accessory. It can complete a look with the right lip color and eyeshadow. Also women wear it to feel confident. There are so many reasons, so don't just assume women are wearing it to attract men.
It may not be to attract men but it is still about looking good to others. That is where the confidence boost comes from. The argument “I wear it for me” falls apart the moment the reasons rely on how other people react to you. If a girl wore make-up “for herself to give herself a confidence boost” and the first reaction she got was a friend going “oh....is that the look you are going with..?” That confidence boost would instantly be gone because the make-up did not get a positive reaction and the girl would likely wash her face off.
Well, she doesn't like how she looks, so she wears makeup. Guys can complain all they want, but they know that they only care about looks.
So what about the girls who feel ugly? They wear make up, you just can't expect them to just stay the way they are if they don't like how it feels.
No. No we do not care only about looks. While it may be true that SOME guys are terrible jerks but that is not the same as saying all guys care only for looks. As for the girls who feel "ugly" is it not better to work on feeling comfortable with themselves without having to change themselves? Now I understand some makeup, but to use it so liberally that you are no longer yourself, then it honestly looks like you have a problem.
Oh really? If a guy had to choose between a blonde blue eyes skinny girl with perfect skin and body or a girl with brown eyes and hair with pimples
Who would he choose???
He would attempt to get to know the one he preferred based on a variety of factors. But to say that all men care about is looks is the same as saying that all women care about is frivolous objects such as clothes shoes and jewelry, or that all blacks commit crimes. It is unbelievably shallow and is propagating a misguided stereotype that serves only to hurt others.
But using make up liberally doesn't make you not yourself. Acting like someone you're not makes you not yourself. It shouldn't matter what a person chooses to put on their face. Just like it doesn't matter if a person gets a tattoo or piercings or tans or surgery or dyes their hair or cuts their hair or shaves their legs or wears certain clothes. None of us were born with any of these things, but it doesn't mean that we aren't being ourselves. All of it is simply a matter of feeling comfortable in your own skin and expressing yourself. If someone thinks you're fake just because you look a little different with make up on, that's their problem. As long as you make these changes and stay true to yourself, it should never be considered fake or deceptive or unacceptable.
This makes me so angry so watch out guys: here's a rant
Girls wear makeup for themselves
They aren't trying to deceive you
And if you are all so scandalized by this "false advertising" perhaps I can present it using an analogy
Say there's a product (let's say some super absorbent towel like in those infomercials) and they have all these advertisements about it, saying how super absorbent and easy to use it is.
Now say this advertisement immediately wins you over (which can happen) and you go out and buy this towel. And it is crap. It doesn't absorb anything or do anything the advertisement said it would do. Now just because the advertisement made you attracted to the product doesn't mean that once you find out it is a bad product you're going to be stuck with it forever. Maybe you can't return it but you can throw it out and in the end the only reason you bought this towel was because you were swayed by the "false advertisement" without doing any research on the product.
Now obviously, humans are different from towels.
So the fact that they're getting angry about having "false advertising" because they put on makeup? When you see commercials for a product do you ever just trust that commercial and go buy the product? Probably not. And do you think that the only way men can judge how they feel towards a woman is by their looks?
All in all, this just makes me so angry because these men are so ignorant of the fact that when women put on makeup and "are deceiving them because oh no they look like two different people and that's so wrong" they aren't doing it for you. You are not affected by this and so therefore you have no right to be saying these things about women.
If you so threatened by the fact that makeup can change someone's appearance so much then maybe try thinking about the fact that people can look past appearances. Makeup is not used for when girls want to meet guys who just want sex or to even just attract men. It's none of your concern.
I don't see how makeup is deceiving. If you honestly think that me putting on make up convinces you my eye lids are blue, I am not the problem. And let me point this out, many guys say they like the natural look, but think the natural look is what Kim Kardashian does.
I don't like this at all, so what if girls wanna put on makeup?! Some girls do it so THEY can make themselves look pretty. Guys, calm your non existent tits, this is sexism at its finest.
would u girls talk to a guy who is fat with thick glasses randomly walking down the street hitting on them because they have a nice personality? mind u guys guys get friendzoned more because they are "nice but you only like them as a brother" if ur answer is yes and u will talk to a nerd then u are better than most... guys and girls are the same thing so dont treat guys as being jerks as we all know some girls are jerks too... only looking at guys with 18pack abs and a 34 b chest of muscles looking at them like a piece of steak... some guys express their opinion... accept it and move on... its not like you havent judged anybody your entire life....
all people are naturally attracted to more attractive people, it's the first thing they go on! They may have a crap personality but you can't see that at first glance. I agree 100% girls get picked on for being fake but then are judged for not being gorgeous/pretty/whatever
I agree, not all girls use make up for sex, but at the same time, make up may be fine for self confidence, but shouldn't it be used more to accentuate your attractive features instead of making you look like a completely different person? And you can't expect society to accept you for who you are if you can't accept yourself. Its the same with guys, don't take sterioids and whatnot, you're effing up your body to be attractive when in the long run, you're killing yourself and being deceptive.
Is it so hard to believe that some girls just like putting on makeup? Girls should know they're beautiful without it, but sometimes playing around with different colors and how things look can be fun.
You could look at this from very different perspectives on the one hand- it sucks that the girl feels she has to wear make up. On the other, she looks happier with it on. And probably feels prettier. It sucks that some of those men believe it to be 'false advertising' because in actuality how a girl acts in and out of make up is one of the best ways to know how she feels about herself and around her partner.
I don't put make up on to impress any one. If I look pancake af I will put some foundation on that shit so I don't look like a creature descending from the pits of hell.
yeah and all your 'girls' whether it be models, celebrities or porn hoes wear all that make-up! You must like deception....Double standards boys, bloody hypocrites!
Sounds like something he would say *rolls eyes*
But what really bothers me, are those, who ignorantly assume that women wear make-up in order to impress guys. No at all. I wear make-up to give me that extra confidence so that I can tackle the day head on! It's got nothing to do with men. People have told me over a million times, "oh what guys are trying to impress."
