Recently, I've heard many guys complaining about how girls are creating a false illusion of their real appearances.
They see all the girls with a perfect face, big eyes and flawless skin, and then they go on youtube and see the "making-of process" of Michelle Phan and right there, they feel they got tricked by all the attractive girls out there. It's unbelievable for them to see how girls could transform themselves through the use of makeup, fake eyelashes, big-eyes contact lens..and even gluing double eyelids. Some guys are calling these girls fake, because what they see are not even real. they question why they need to spend so much time to lie to the guys. But, pause for a sec, and think, why do girls need to put all these chemicals and artificial things on their faces in the first place?
Because there is always a double standard for girls.
On one hand, guys like girls to be natural. But on the other hand, they like girls who are physically attractive. In reality though, how many girls out there are lucky enough to be naturally-attractive?
Although I don't think looks is everything, but for the majority of girls who are not born with a perfect face, all they really want is just to feel good about themselves, and get the same attention as all the naturally-beautiful girls. if a little makeup can help them boost up their confidence level, what harm does it make? So if you are a guy, and you are asking why we are tricking the guys, let me ask you then, do you care about looks?

Make up is for other women, and breast implants and the such are for men.
Guys don't give a fuck if their woman is wearing make up or not, but I'm sure they would care about implants. Some enjoy them and others don't.... Yep. Could say more, but I should really stop procrastinating.
I think if a man is enjoying eye candy, then whatever. Don't expect much, since all you're doing is looking.
If you're in a relationship, you'll know each other and what you each look like naturally, so what's the big deal? It's not being fake then, I don't suppose.
I'm not taking into account one night stands. Hahahaha. Oh man.
You can still be beautiful and be natural. I used to wear tons of makeup and now I barely wear any on a day to day basis. I get told I'm beautiful now, more then I did when I had "perfect makeup" on.
Just remember this: I admit there are some brothers out there who don't look as good. There's no makeup for them to look good for the girls. So, if they don't have anyone to impress, what do the women have to impress? If they want real so badly, show them what real consists of.
Oh, and anyone wants to lend me some lipgloss? I got a picture to take.
Make up is a masquerade. I prefer not to have a mask on and let the world see me as I am - flaws intact. I'm interested in finding a guy who adores me for exactly the way I am.
Women do what they gotta do to feel good about themselves. If you care about her, you wouldn't give a shit about what she does in order to feel pretty and you'd love her for who she is.
everyone is beautiful. i'll leave it at that
usually the girls who put on eyes,lips,cheeks,the works arent attractive with or without the makeup and they put it on to just be something visually stimulating. i'm in love with the 'natural' look and by natural i mean darkend eyebrows to define the eys,some brown mascara,and foundation and a spritz of moisture to give that dewy look. it's the only face i'll put on whether its day or night because i want people to see me and not my smokey eye. i havent worn dramatic makeup in years. its really young to me plus theres no suprises when the guy sees you in the morning
A temporary solution will always be a temporary solution. To me, its like assuming a one night stand will cure loneliness. Or it'd be as if escaping reality often will somehow make your problems go away. People with issues, with problems. Who blame everyone else and expect someone else to come along and make them feel better about everything. The worst part is there are those who do try. People who care enough to try to make a difference. But, the victims shut these people out. Or they don't think it's worth it to trust someone or actually try to make a difference in their own life. So they get hung up on something and fall into vicious cycles.
My life as a photographer consists of making people look fake. I make fat girls skinny, I make wrinkles go away. I make your forehead look less huge, and your blemishes disappear.
I make your eyes glow, your existence seemingly awe inspiring.
I've done it for so long however, that I actually don't mind flaws on women. I almost prefer them.
I would like to add that not every girl needs makeup, but there are a few that look horrid without it. Most girls wear it and don't even need it. The reason why women need to keep up appearances, is so a guy will talk to them in the first place.
There's going to be someone who will say that they're a guy, and they really go for the woman's personality and not their looks. They're lying.
Our eyes don't naturally fall on the fattest and ugliest women to talk up first, they see the ones most attractive.
if you use that much makeup that a guy thinks you tricked him, then that's too much. use enough makeup to enhance your features (for me, that's basically mascara and an eyebrow brush, but for you it could be foundation, mascara, a LITTLE eyeliner, etc) but if you find a guy that thinks your attractive only with the whole she-bam of makeup on, then you found the wrong guy.
obviously, find someone who likes you when you're not wearing makeup via your personality.
ive heard too many guys claim they want a girl natural but when she does look natural (no makeup) they want the mask back on. So im gunna do me, and if a guy likes it then that's the guy for me. Guys complain about girl's appearance too much (usually the ones that dont have much going on for themselves). But i would never dump on the way a guy dresses out loud... i guess i just did. lol
@iiinfinitesimal@xanga - Exactly.
If you're using makeup to the point where you look like an entirely different person without it, then you're using too much.
We're not tricking them -- we're giving them what they want.
Thank you, OP.
Oh, and not everyone is beautiful. Just sayin'...
According to this, it's women being tricked.
The dating game is nothing but secrets, backstabbing and manipulation it seems.
it's not a double standard. wanting the naturally best-looking mate makes total sense, and people know it. hence those who don't have it fake it, and they try to be as "natural-looking" as possible.
love love love love make-up. some girls be lookin daaaaamn fine with it.
Although i'm not a girl, i still wanna help them to speak sth and i dun think girls re tricking the guys.
boys usually want to hv a beautiful girl frd and show off to their frdz, family and even strangers on the street. so girls is just doing what they want. we cannot be so selfish, it's unfair to girl to said that they re tricking us.
I remember learning this from Full House..Something along the lines of..
"The key to wearing makeup is making it look like you aren't wearing any at all."
Hahaha. It's kind of stuck with me all this time and to be honest, most people can't tell when I have makeup on. :)
I wrote a blog about this a while back.
While looks aren't all that important, if you have someone who constantly puts makeup on, fake eyelashes, double eyelid tape, push up bra, butt plumping pants, girdle, tights, etc to make themselves look completely different than how they naturally look, I call it lying.
Physical attraction is important, and while it's not the only aspect of why you should like someone it may be a big deal when you find out the girl you've been dating is really bald with no eyebrows, lazy eye, and looks like a completely different person when you wake up in the morning next to them.
If you're already in a relationship with the person there's no real big surprise, hopefully. However, this is usually for getting someone interested in you. How is lying from the get go a good tactic to getting someone to like you?
I care not about the looks. I care about the fucking.
I rarely wear it, and when I do, its a very small amount.
It all depends on the guy. Some guys don't give a crap if you wear a lot of make up or no makeup at all. If you start dating a guy, to look that "made-up" all the time is kind of overbearing, but if it's for fun, then it's all good. I think I wear a lot of makeup, but guys always ask me "you're wearing makeup?" or if i'm like "omg i have no make up on today!" guys say "you look fine.. i didn't even know you wore makeup."
so it's just the way guys perceive you in different ways. also it really does depend on the guy.
Use as much makeup as you want. Just don't be surprised when he doesn't stay for breakfast when he sees what you really look like.
Guys put up fake personalities, pretending to be something they're not.
