Author shadowplay Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 My point was that without all the make-up and everything, she looks just as average as the rest of us. Or, in other words, if I had a good make-up-artist and a hairstylist, I'd look just as good. I disagree. She obviously has some natural beauty. But how did this thread devolve into another Megan Fox discussion? Zzzzz...

grogster Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Physical attraction plays a significant role in the inception of erotic bonding. How could it not? Once the relationship is established other, less tangible factors play a role in maintaining the union: sense of humor, tempermant, style, etc. For me, a substantial decline in appearance could weaken the bonds. While perhaps unfair, superficial, etc., that's life in the Big City. Appearance matters, and all the talk shows and self-help books in the world cannot alter that biological fact.
C-i-C-u Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I almost always notice a women by the way she looks but when she looks back at me and gives me a cold stare. I then stop liking her, and notice that is probably a B#$$$. btw, I don't oogle either. So when a women notices that I am appreciating her looks and she gets an attitude its her problem not mine.
Jersey Shortie Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Maybe you are reading them wrong? I don't smile at every man I cross paths with, doesn't mean I am thinking something bad about them.

It's not always that a woman looks back, staring you coldly, that she's not interested or has a bad attitude. She needs time to process or like some men, she's too shy to smile or chat you up. Why not notice a woman and smile at her at the same time?
Sam Spade Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I am 100% man and Megan Fox is repulsive to me. She does nothing for me at all. She *is* repulsive, but in that specific skanky way that begs you to wreck her , uh-oh.
C-i-C-u Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Maybe you are reading them wrong? I don't smile at every man I cross paths with, doesn't mean I am thinking something bad about them. I don't think I am reading them wrong. Most women are very blunt with me because of several reasons. Its probably just because I am in the Chicago area.
Jersey Shortie Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 She *is* repulsive, but in that specific skanky way that begs you to wreck her , uh-oh. Why would you want to "wreck" a woman? That sounds bleeped up.
C-i-C-u Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 No! It's not always that a woman looks back, staring you coldly, that she's not interested or has a bad attitude. She needs time to process or like some men, she's too shy to smile or chat you up. Why not notice a woman and smile at her at the same time? B/c my smile isnt a good smile. I am very shy so when I smile I rarely show my teeth. And that to many is not a smile. It may come off as I am trying to do something creepy which I am not. I am no creep. And trust me the women are normally cold to me. And that isnt me feeling sorry for myself.
C-i-C-u Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 She *is* repulsive, but in that specific skanky way that begs you to wreck her , uh-oh. no more like in the way of why do people find her attractive. i dislike women with tattoos(I could never spell that word) and she has nine of them.

So the women who didn't smile at you could also be conscious of their teeth or smiles.
C-i-C-u Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 So the women who didn't smile at you could also be conscious of their teeth or smiles. Fair enough, I'll begin to smile.
missdependant Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 no more like in the way of why do people find her attractive. i dislike women with tattoos(I could never spell that word) and she has nine of them. It's so nice to hear that there are men out there who don't like them!! I am almost 23, no tattoos or piercings (except for my ears). I have no desire for any either! My boyfriend has three or four tattoos.. I don't mind them on him, but don't think I'll ever get one myself. I thought I was lame for not having any tattoos or piercings, since everyone and their mother has at least one tattoo and their navel/tongue pierced!
Jilly Bean Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Oh, it matters to an extent, but the people who I can honestly say love/loved me don't fuss over conditional things. Right when I moved in with my SO, I stopped taking my birth control. I broke out so badly! And it really hit my self esteem at first because I didn't experience bad skin in my teens. Before I could get that issue calmed down, I got really ill with the new location's seasonal flu. Next thing I know I'm covered in a full body rash the dermatologist said is sometimes triggered by illness. I had to rub myself down daily with stinky, mentholated salve that made it impossible to clear my skin up. It took 6 months! 6 months of me looking like I had leprosy or something! He would help me put the salve on and get my PJs on without rubbing it off each night. I would wretch on over it but he'd just remind me it would get better eventually. Or when he had to get back surgery and put on 35lbs from being inactive while healing. He hated on himself because he was a chubby child and feared being so as an adult. Whatever, I was just glad he wasn't in pain all the time anymore. He lost the weight, but I'm full aware his ability to be a thin person will always be a force of will on his part. I'm not going to run off if he slacks. I'll only care if it gets bad enough to stress his spine or become a health issue. You can love someone for who they are, and you can also grow to accept who they can become. It is a deepening of feeling to the point of real sincerity. It is when love becomes real. Oh, hon. I was purely being sardonic. It's such a silly thread, really. I think a far smaller percentage of the population is genuinely attractive, however, a far greater portion seem to be thriving in happy relationships and able to secure dates. So, it just seems like nonsense to even pose such a question. All you have to do is look around and see that "less than 10's" are not alone. I suppose if the OP wanted to have a pity party, it worked. lol
Woggle Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 The tatoos have nothing to do with why she turns me off. I have seen women with tattoos and an alternative look that are very attractive but her rotten attitude just seeps through every pour.

For those who believe that it's "THE" truth, would it make it easier if everyone just said, "hey, you'll be alone for the rest of your life so don't bother at all" or "yup, you need cosmetic surgery for every flaw, so start saving now".

I suppose if the OP wanted to have a pity party, it worked. lol OH Good! I started wondering if you were in a high pressure relationship like one of my female friends. Especially the 5 -7 lbs standard you cited. It has turned her into a wreck with anorexic tendencies. She is always clucking after me for not being more primped up all the time.
Sam Spade Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 A 53 year old friend of the family once told me that in her 20+ year marriage her husband has never seen her in broad daylight with no makeup on. She certainly didn't feel like she's doing *him* a favor, but showed rather genuine pride in taking care of her appearance. An attitude, increasingly lost these days, not just among women. But the point that it is okay to ignore any aspect of one's appearance - be it in a relationship or in society - is just obnoxious, and nobody should stand for that. I surely know that my sons will get a smack on the back of head if they don't tuck their shirt in .
Jersey Shortie Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Your husband never seeing your face without make up isn't taking care of your apperance. It actually causes more wrinkles and pimples to always be layered with make up on.
Trialbyfire Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Talk about low self-esteem, to be afraid of showing your real face to your husband, over a 20 year span. There's just no excuse for someone being so afraid of external opinion, that she believes she's too ugly to reveal a real face. It's like a short man who wears platform boots to bed and in the shower, for twenty years, because he's being "respectful" to his wife. Stupid.
clv0116 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I think the point was in the attitude more than the (admittedly silly) execution.

Maybe the way you're looking at them creeps them out.

A woman feeling like she has to cake on makeup to be seen in public is just plain SAD and different from a kid leaving the house dressed like a bum. I mean, her own HUSBAND has never seen her without makeup?? That is just weird. Is she an alien, here to observe us, and thus can never let her real face be shown as she has like.. an extra eye that she covers up with makeup?? How intriguing!!
MeaganRaye Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I can relate. I never would leave the house totally bareface. Maybe minimal makeup, less eyeshadow but never without any at all. I like feeling valued when I go out in public
