Well, some girls feel better about themselves when they were make up, whats wrong with that? Would you insist that someone stop doing something that improves their self esteem just cuz you don't like how it looks? I wouldnt.
Some do it for their significant other, there is nothing wrong with that either.
Oh but I thougth this topic was about opinions if we like make up or not? I am not telling people to stop doing that, just saying that it is unnessessary and I don't like it.
On the other hand the world can be a competitive place in many aspects, whats wrong with a girl trying to strengthen their odds?
I see it as a sign of insecurity, a weak mind easily manipulated by any external influence. Nothing is more sexy than a radiant charisma coming from a girl that doesn't give a damn about make-up because she knows that she is convinced that she is pretty... even if her looks are average.
Its not much different then trying to stay in shape, you are taking extra steps to improve your appearance.
Oh really? Appearance you say? So it has nothing to do with important things like health, longevity and improved physique? As if I would ever bother doing that for a potential date.
There is nothing wrong with wearing make-up, just when it is over done or poorly done.
It's free country, people can do what they want with themselves. Nothing is wrong with breast enlargement, and facelift either. It's all just fake anyway.
EDIT (as more posts were posted)
Ace: I disagree. If a woman wants to do whatever to her face, then partner or not, it's still her decision. As a loving partner, it's not you're right to demand she does something, only to tell her that she looks fucking awful when she does.
That is not a problem, this is resolved before you even become a partner. Basically if a girl fancys makeup then I don't need to hook up with her, right? It's not like suddenly a person changes over night and starts with new habits that easily. I have a girlfriend who doesn't wear make-up, too lazy I guess and it doesn't come as a surprise because it has been like this since before we met.
Tyffanys, I already answered your arguments above this sentence, so I'll pick out a few things.
By the way, last I checked it has nothing to do with "getting laid." It's about appearing beautiful.
Beautiful = physically attractive. Primary attribute for sexual attractiveness. There is no reason to be beautiful otherwise. This is genetics, it's that simple.
Besides, last I checked most guys are stereotypically slutty as hell and would fuck anything that moves if it even winks at them. It's pretty clear when it comes to sex, it's girls that have the power, not men. It's always the females that decide their mate, not males. The males fight over the females, but it's the female who decides. It's true in nature and it's still true here. Guys don't control shit. Any girl with any semblance of self respect and self confidence should know she's the one in charge of the selection process. We may be looked at as objects at times, but we're also empowered because of it.
I call it bullshit. It goes just as much both ways. Women and men are equally slutty, some individuals have more self control than others, it has little to do with gender. Who said that males don't select females? If that was true, then internet wouldn't be filled with dating sites filled with desperate single women that are nearing their 40-ies. The only difference is that males admit that they like sex, while females play hard to get just to feel good about themselves.
