Do men like women wearing makeup? Or do they like natural looks? No fake boobs, no fake other body parts.

It depends on the man. Different men have different preferences. I prefer natural looks but I do like big boobs but none of that were really requirements or dealbreakers or anything. I never really factored that in when searching for a partner.

I like fake NOTHING. If I think I might get close to a girl, I don’t want to think about messing up her makeup, lipstick, etc. I prefer clothing to lean a bit conservatively and modest, BUT revealing clothes are OK as long as they enhance or flatter a woman’s figure. If, say, you’re wearing skimpy clothes and it makes your backboobs all too obvious, I find that to be a turnoff. I could look at a girl wearing Daisy Dukes, but not if she’s got some serious cottage cheese going.

It’s not that I find larger women unattractive. I’m ok with larger women. But clothes should always sell your best features. I’d rather see a big woman naked than see her wearing the wrong clothes that make it look like she’s trying too hard.

I watched the recent royal wedding, Harry and Meghan, and I was surprised that given the whole media circus around these events she wasn’t wearing makeup. And then I remembered a Catholic wedding mass I played for once—no makeup. I was, like, wow...that’s actually a thing. And to be honest I thought that was classier and prettier than anything else I’ve seen.

I’m all about fresh-faced women.

As far as what YOU do, I think what’s important is that YOU feel good about yourself. I was hanging out with a very close friend while she was putting on makeup and I asked her why she did it. I told her she was so pretty and didn’t really need it. She explained it was a ritual that made her feel confident before going out or going to work. Like war paint. So the important thing is do what makes you feel good. Makeup isn’t really necessary. But anything you do to boost your confidende, whether it’s makeup or something else, will only help you when you go out.

I’m into distance running. For me, race day starts right before bedtime the night. Before. I lay all my clothes out, Chapstick, anti-chafe balm, tape, socks and shoes, plus nutrition and water. I start with a shower, oatmeal, protein supplement, milk, and coffee. Before I get dressed, I put on tape and Body Glide. If I made it to the expo the previous afternoon, I’ll already have my bib attached, etc. Before I leave for the race, I put on chapstick and put Vasoline around my eyes...not sure why that helps, but it does. And the whole process takes me about two hours. But by the time I get there, I’m mentally, emotionally, and physically ready to run.

Getting ready for a date—same thing. Maybe you need more or less than other folks, but if you FEEL ready, chances are you’ll have a good time. If makeup and clothes are a part of that and it works for you, then there you go. Just don’t go feeling you have to be a total fake to impress a guy.

I’m not a man but I am bi.
(Just giving my opinion)
I don’t like fake boobs on a woman or a woman who wears lots of make it’s really unattractive (to me and probably some guys too.)

Or girls or guys who wearing a lot of perfume or cologne I hate the smell makes my nose burn.

I think all size of boobs are awesome. I always wanted smaller boobs myself lol

Do you feel like wearing makeup, Kitty?

Oooh...I didn’t think about perfume...

I can do perfume. Florals are good. But to me, there’s nothing quite like a musky scent on a woman. Especially autumn and winter months. “Red” by Giorgio Beverly Hills is my fave. And “Beautiful,” which is heavy-ish but can work year-round. Nicole Miller is a similar scent, also quite nice. And “Opium,” too.

I can take/leave perfume just as much as I can makeup. But perfume does a lot more for me than makeup.

If you wanted to impress me by wearing perfume, get the good stuff like I mentioned, not that cheap “body spray” crap. That scent says “I didn’t feel like taking a shower this morning, so I’m just gonna Febreze myself and call it good.”

"black opium" that's one of my faves, but I'm really picky about scents because I have to smell it all day....

Kitty. I used to worry about what I looked like. I really prefer wearing cardigans and foofy 50s style skirts. But I began to worry that I looked frumpy. So started buying tight pencil skirts and it's just not me.

I've gone back to my old clothes and I'm happier being me.

I don’t wear makeup if I do, I put lipgloss on, I don’t need mascara or eyeliner, I have big eyes & good eyelashes. I also can have rosey cheeks. Why studies say women need makeup to attract man?

I don’t know Black Opium. Now I’m curious!

Oh...and Poison. The original.

There were quite a few designer scents back in the 80’s that were crazy hot. Baby Soft and Electric Youth were absolutely addictive scents. Aaaaaagh...I miss those...

I never could convince any gf to wear those. They always said those were trashy. I didn’t care...yes, they were totally obnoxious perfumes, but I’d absolutely lose my mind any time I caught it. A girl could wear either one of those and she’d have my full and undivided attention.

Poison or Opium, though...that’s a romantic dinner, or going to the ballet, and the girl only has one thing on her mind afterwards.

Ok...I gotta think about something besides perfumes. I’m having really, REALLY bad thoughts.

I remember skinhead / suedehead girls in the 70's wearing Brut, a man's aftershave, which was interesting.

I couldn’t date a girl who wears Brut.

Or Old Spice.

Or Stetson.

That’s just all kinds of wrong.

I don’t do aftershave anymore. Haven’t since early college. Never much saw the point.

But I do wear Brut deodorant. I still like Red For Men on special occasions. My go-to cologne in cold weather is Aspen or Kenneth Cole, and either Navy or Cool Water in the summer.

I’m banned from Old Spice and Stetson. I’ll get the people called on me if I use either of those...which is a shame. Stetson is what people did before Axe.

*Googling those skirt category names tight pencil ... foofy...*

How do they memorize all these category names.

Depends on the person... It's subjective although obviously these things generally cause more people to be attracted. Otherwise the plastic surgery and cosmetic industries wouldn't be so big.

I've always preferred a very natural look. My girlfriend does not wear makeup and does not shave her legs.

It's just words to describe different things. I don't know anyone other than me who actually uses the word foofy. It's a very old fashioned English word. I've just googled foofy skirt and I'm glad to find it's not just a word I made up lol.

Surely men have different words for different trousers and shirts.
