Let's be honest for a moment. A woman you find attractive you find attractive because of her physical features, right? A woman you aren't attracted to is for the same reason, right? So what purpose does make-up serve? We know her cheeks and lips aren't naturally stoplight red. We know her face isn't naturally powdery looking with clumps sporadically located for feature relief. And we all know that eyelashes are individual strands with no duck feet web features. So do you really like/want the woman you're with to wear all this crap? If so, please tell me what it is that makes it appealing to you. As far as I'm concerned, women are cutting it short by doing only 2 out of 3 anyways. I mean the funniest part of the costume was the stoplight red nose. Why not complete the outfit?

Geez, what bee got into your bonnet? Sure, some women overdo it, but most women like to wear makeup to enhance the beauty that's already there anyway. I happen to like my lips, but they're pale and I want to add some color to them to make them stand out. And my eyes are hazel, and pretty enough I guess, but they too are rather pale, and I like to enhance them with mascara to make them show up more, and shadow too. A little blush never hurt a face, either. I wear makeup because it makes me feel like I look better, and when I think I look better, it makes me feel better and gives me an edge that might not be there otherwise. Same reason I wear the clothes I do - I like the way they feel and look and if I look prettier, I'm gonna feel prettier, and if I feel prettier, I'm gonna be happier, and if I'm happier, I'm gonna be more loving, giving, responsive, and clever than if I feel that I look like shite. Now, I don't ALWAYS wear makeup, and sometimes I dress casually in the extreme, and when I decide to do that, then I'm fine with it, it's what I want. But so's the other. And if it makes me happy, why should it bother you? You don't go out the door looking like garbage. You don't go to the lengths I might before I go out the door, but you take care with your appearance. So what if you wear t-shirts and jeans, you still take care with your appearance. Same thing, different degree.

Well, thanks for explaining it to me. Personally, I see no need at all for the stuff. Sunday I took a friend to urgent care because she was too sick to drive herself. After she got done, we were sharing a smoke outside before we left. As she was talking, she caught me looking at her face, then mouth. In mid sentence she asked "Do I have something in my teeth?! What are you looking at?!" I said "No. I was just admiring how pretty you are." to which she retorted "Of all days! I've got absolutely no make-up on!" I simply said "Exactly my point!" Seeing her is such a pleasurable treat. Her natural tones and complexion really are far more beautiful than any of the make-up she's ever worn. It was so engaging that I had to look and soak it in. She's truly a beauty without the cake-crap on. But I imagine that like you, she feels better with the stuff on despite what I have to say. Despite it is me she wants to impress to try a third time with.
As for me, I make myself look like I did wake up and get dressed. Just the minimum, as in combed hair and maybe matching clothes. I long ago after graduating from jr. high, quit worrying about how I look. As long as I am legal and clean, at least at the start of the day, I feel I have done my share not to offend anyone. If someone doesn't like my appearance, that is their problem, not mine. I've enough to juggle and sort out as it is. Someone who doesn't like my looks is entitled to that as I am entitled to not be concerned with what they think of me. That's where I leave it. I've got a life to live. Hopefully they will find one for themselves as well. I feel people who are heavily concerned with what people look like have missed the point of being amongst people in the first place. Jeffrey Dalmer was always the dapper fellow. The reports always talked about how well dressed and mannered he was. Which is why he got away with what he did for so long. People are just too superficial when it comes to how they judge people.

Very true, we are too superficial in the way we judge people. And quite frankly, I admire the way you see women, GUY, and I think that it's wonderful how you see beauty in a bare and natural face, no enhancements, no artificiality. I see beauty there too, but not always, and I'm stuck in thinking I look better with makeup. Today I have gone without it and even went out for lunch and errands with a friend, so you should be proud of me. No makeup, no bra, muddy boots - you'd have loved it, I'm sure. I should have her take a pic, just for you. Maybe I will. Love ya, baby.......
