Females: do you consider yourself physically attractive?

Post Reply New Topic

For some of us, the thought on makeup is, "Less is more." I'd rather see a gal for who and what she is... not a layer of goop and paste.

That said, one must still put SOME pride in their appearance... if one rolls out of bed and goes out looking dumpy, they're going to get a worse reaction than someone who cleaned up, put on some nice clothes, brushes their teeth & hair... such things show the world "I care, I matter" and are treated better than lump-a-dump above.

It may not seem fair, but that's just the way it is.

I'm trying to understand how women (but not men) being required to put goop on their faces to be respected or get good service, or be considered attractive, constitutes an "advantage".




In other news, up is is now down, and black will henceforth be known as "white".

Yes, I do think I look quite OK. Although it varies from day to day. Some days I wake up and think: Wooah, my hair looks really gorgeous today. And the other day I could wake up, look in the mirror, and think I look horrible. So it depends. But I think I am quite attractive, yes.

I have to wonder at the (well-meaning) beliefs of men who dislike makeup on women and who prefer a "natural" face. Often these "natural" faces still have makeup on, it just is only a minimal amount, and if these men actually saw women with NO makeup on and no efforts at all at doing their hair then maybe they wouldn't be quite so into the idea.

I agree with a previous poster that as women if we DON'T put makeup on, we stand out MORE and get more attention but NOT in a good way!

I wear makeup to prevent myself from attracting bad attention because I have enough stuff to deal with than having to also deal with people's negative opinions on how I look. And yes, people quite happily volunteer their opinion to you on that!!

I seem to have gone through stages in my Life re attractiveness. I look good for a number of years, then not so good, etc.

At my current job it is very important to "look good" and so I had to really learn how to do it. So now I have more of an idea of HOW to look good if I want to, but I much prefer to be comfy with no makeup and no hair-do lol

People these days seem to consider me attractive, but it really is in the eye of the beholder. For some men I am the most attractive woman they have ever seen, and for other men, I am really not appealing AT ALL. So, meh, who knows, and I don't really care too much, especially since I am happily engaged and my partner likes me which is all that counts.

I agree that it helps with getting through day to day things with regards to how people treat you, but when it comes to whether other men find me attractive or not, who cares, I am pretty jaded with regard to that idea. In my "black and white" attitude (hard to get rid of) men will either make you feel awful if you are ugly, or if you are "pretty" they will only want you for one thing, and that's just boring and insulting.

These days it appears "attractive" is based around whether a woman looks like she enjoys having sex or not. So, men feel that they must find a woman like that, and women think they have to be like that. There is so much more to Life!! !! I do wonder at the future of this World... (am talking generally here, I realise there are exceptions)

sometimes i wear makeup and sometimes i don't. i tend to disappear into the background when i am barefaced, so if i want to stand out i wear it. i don't like wearing light makeup as it feels boring and pointless, so usually i have heavy and colourful eye makeup on. it's more fun for me.
