Ah. The hypocrisy of women!

...and its a risk I'll take. I figure its a trade-off with me. They'll get the very strong, muscular legs....but they also get the big, REAL, wonderful boobs....
Eh...plenty of guys dig the way I look. If my muscles turn a guy off...he's clearly not the one for me.
I think a lot of guys would take that trade off. Emphasizing the big, real, wonderful boobs is a winning strategy.0 -
Only guys who don't know how to work a womens muscles properly!
Thank you, Taunto.........0 -
So conversely.. .guys say they want real women, but the reality is they drive women to do all the stupid crap that most women do. If guys preferred "real" women there wouldn't be so many fake ones. It's called supply and demand.
Well said! this truly seems to be our reality.0 -
Your reality is that you've never had a single original thought about what you want in your life? Or that you have never had enough courage to go through with it? Because thats what it sounds like...0 -
What is a 'real' man anyway?
I always feel with makeup that it looks great from a distance, but up close not so much. But everything is personal taste.0 -
DAT Hello Kitty! watch...
It's the 2nd thing I noticed, her legs being the first. I only noticed the watch because every girl I've met in person likes Hello Kitty.
She has a watch?

huh really? Every girl? I actually know maybe 1 whole person that likes Hello Kitty above the age of 22.0 -
I like make up and getting my hair highlighted. I have a new rule that I am only allowed to wear yoga pants to the gym or at home. Even to run out to the grocery store I make myself put on jeans. And all pants must have zippers and not be too stretchy so I can't gain weight. My recent (sniff sniff) ex expressed a desire for a feminine woman...the first I have ever had that cared at all what I looked like and complimented me extensively. He even asked if I would wear lipstick..as I don't usually. I loved it. I loved feeling feminine for a change.0

I find you to be very feminine. Compared to a lot of the butches out there, you're like a barbie doll. I always thought this is why we got along so well.
Sometimes you can be a slightly raunchy, but that's part of your charm. :flowerforyou:0 -

Really??
I've noticed that guys SAY they want a natural, real woman but end up chasing women who do all the "fake" stuff. Supply and demand. If guys didn't go for it more often than they go for a truly natural woman, then so many woman wouldn't do it.
ALSO most men I've talked to have no concept of how much makeup a woman has on or how much time went into doing her hair. Thick caked makeup and wild colors are obvious, but even a "natural" evening face can take a while (my makeup, personally, is 5-10 minutes b/c I don't have patience or skill for more). When I point out a beautiful woman, I try to ask the guys around their opinions... they think her hair is just "wash-n-go" or she has no makeup on but I can look at her and see that she put a lot of work and effort into her appearance.
Edit to add: So what I'm saying is the guys may think they want the natural woman, but only because they don't realize the enhancement she's done0 -
i agree with this. this is also why women tend to be better looking than me. we know how to make ourselves look better simple things like eyebrow grooming and makeup contouring can make subtle changes in your appearances that take you from OK to wow.Edit to add: So what I'm saying is the guys may think they want the natural woman, but only because they don't realize the enhancement she's done
also i disagree that women are getting fake stuff like hair extensions solely for men. the type of woman i see getting the fake barbie stuff i notice is usually sizing up very single woman around her. i think for the most part they are doing it for women in order to be what they define as competitive with other women. for instance, why do some women freak out if they are wearing the same outfit as another woman?0 -
Well... listen to an experience I've had recently..
I put myself back on a dating site. Been off those for months. I get a message from a guy saying he loved how "real" I was. No fake tan, no bolt-ons, etc....
Met him at a bar to watch a UFC fight. I thought I looked really cute. After talking and getting along great he asked me if we go out again on a date to dinner or a movie if I would put more makeup on and do my hair fancier. Really? So I told him "this is who I am". He hasn't called back.
So conversely.. .guys say they want real women, but the reality is they drive women to do all the stupid crap that most women do. If guys preferred "real" women there wouldn't be so many fake ones. It's called supply and demand.
Oh my god!!
If a guy asked me to do my hair and makeup I'd be out soooooo quick0 -

straight guys like women. women still have the power to be the main deciders about when sex will happen in a relationship.
guys go with the flow with female trends because they are more interested in the end result.
one of the consistent things i've heard from my guy friends and male cousins is that if i guy thinks you're hot then he's going to think that regardless if you meet in your sweats or all glammed up.
besides that keep in mind that most of these trends telling us what supposed to make us hot are being decided by women or gay men. for instance, many of my straight guy friends aren't crazy about smokey eyes and super dark nail varnish, but since so many women are wearing it, they aren't going to be like "no no. please take your boobs away from me. i dont like how you have blended your eyeshadow". :laugh:0 -
I completely disagree that women do certain things for men or that it's men's fault why women do their hair or make up. Maybe insecure women who are attention *kitten* and feel desperate for a guys attention, sure.
But I do my hair and my make up for ME. I like trying new things, I like seeing me in curly hair, sometimes straight hair. I like wearing dresses and skirts because I love my legs.
I do this because I feel good about myself. It's in no way enhancing myself as I like the way I look natural, especially after a work out or when I first wake up and my hair is a mess. But as a feminine woman, I enjoy those little things about being a woman.
It's just not fair to blame guys for those insecure women.0 -

Good point.0 -
I think there is a lot to what Amazon said...
I also think more women do their hair and make up for other women vice for us men. Not implying lesbianism, rather, women DO notice when another woman put in effort or what not for hair and make up where as, I agree with Janie, I have no idea how long it takes a woman to get ready and what all goes into that. I know when I think someone looks good, and probably would think it is all natural but in reality probably not.
BLUF: I think women spend more time getting all dolled up to impress other women vice men...0 -

Agree! I like looking good. It's not for anyone. It makes me feel good to wear makeup!0 -

This.
You can take that girl that look like barbie and put her in sweat pants and a t-shirt w/ no make-up and most guys would still go for her.0 -
I do it a bit for me....but I do not hate male looks and attention. And if I find something that works for me..which in my case is heels, lip gloss, eye makeup, a particular perfume, highlighted hair, cleavage, confidence and a killer smile.... I am damn well going to utilize it to the best of my ability.0

Is she even real? Looks like a mannequin to me!!
I thought Hello Kitty was for kids? Like under 8 year olds. I bought my little God child HK stuff for her 2nd birthday!! :laugh:0 -
Ok so I wear contacts and make up lol... But I've never looked like a Barbie. I've been told I look like Batty Paige and I'll take that over Barbie anyday0

Should have been more clear. When I was saying girls, I mean under the age of 21, though I do know some women as old as in their 50's that like it as well. It's cool with me. I don't judge.

Amen girl. Except instead of BIG boobs... They'll get little ones with a nice shape and a BIG round *kitten*.
Plus nice strong arms. If you're using your imagination.0 -
This post is irrelevant for me. I don't even wear makeup. On the rare occasion that I do, I only put on some mascara. I don't like false advertising. The same goes for pushup bras!0

I have more issues with a particular girl who thinks it's okay to be cuddly and kissy (nothing further) when she needs it but the moment I put an arm around on her at a different time she flips out on me.... what gives ladies!?0
-
Soooo much going on in this post.
1. It's nice to see so many new faces on here.
2. I'll color my hair, because the few gray strands that come through are just not flattering. I also wear makeup, but in a natural way (most times) because I do like to be girly at times.
3. I do believe that there are women that do change their appearances for others, because of self esteem issues. But, there are some that do it just for fun. I am nobody to judge....but, I do hope that those with self esteem issues will wake up one day feeling wonderful. Nobody deserves to feel any less.0 -

She's using you as an emotional crutch.
Men trade emotional support for physical intimacy. Women trade physical intimacy for emotional support.
Sounds like she's getting hers.
I'd disregard this woman immediately.0 -
I just look better with makeup and my hair done...in my own opinion. Completely natural is overrated. I rolled out of bed and went to class in sweatpants and without makeup in my first year at university
I called it natural. Really...it was me just being lazy.0 -

I agree completely. If she seems worth it you could call her on the mixed signals...but...meh.0
