kendahke Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 There is a diffrence between what a is neccesary amount of makeup and going overboard. I agree. There's a difference between putting on makeup and doing drag. 1
kendahke Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I once had a guy show up for a first date looking like he had just dug up the back 40. He was sweaty, pitted out and disheveled. Another first date with a different man 20 years later was kitted out in his fraternity wear (he was in his late 50's), torn jeans, baseball cap, shirt tail out. Yet another dude didn't even bother to iron his clothes (and we're talking someone in their 60's). On a first date, I make an effort to dress nicely because it's the first time I'm meeting them--just like I dress nicely for a job interview because it's the first time we're meeting. I'm not talking about once we've gotten to know one another and are just hanging out. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. I wouldn't show up in sweats and Uggs with a baseball cap on my head and I would think that by a certain age, a man would be more refined than to dress as if he's getting ready to go clean out the garage when he's on his way to meet a woman in person for the first time that he's spent time over the phone and through email indicating that he really wanted to meet. To do that, imo, indicates a contempt/"eff you" attitude for women in general, since we didn't know each other at all for a judgment like "that's what you deserve" to have been made towards me.
Author FitChick Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 I think some people self-sabotage first dates because they assume they will get rejected regardless so why bother?
GravityMan Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Men love makeup but they don't know it. It takes longer to "look natural" than it does to put on glam makeup. Guys always love glam makeup, too. What they don't like is caked on makeup and poorly applied makeup, which is why it takes a long time to do good makeup that is properly applied. I gotta admit that, at least for me, you are correct. I learned awhile back that in many cases, the "natural, clear look" is actually due to the woman applying makeup skillfully. It's a great look when done well. And I strongly dislike caked-on makeup.
Allumere Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 That girl in the video does not look that attractive without the make up on- mainly because of the quality of her skin. what is up with that?! Is that a by product of constantly wearing make up? Most white/caucasian women do not have perfect completions even when young ladies. And with age it does tend to go south with sun damage, broken capillaries, pregnancy mask,hormonal aging etc. What you see from that woman in the video is the norm for I would say over 90% of white women UNLESS they are seeing a dermatologist and having medical procedures performed and prescription topicals applied. Now if the woman is black/african american, asian, etc. it seems they are blessed more often (not always) with more beautiful skin but again aging does take its toll. I would say black women generally age the best with minimal wrinkling but they too can experience uneveness in coloring. I'll just say that as someone who has spent a fortune on their skin over the past 15 years that I still have adult acne, broken capillaries and some uneveness in color....and I didn't have bad skin to begin with...age, hormones and genetics just win. 1
Awon Apanilerin Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Men have to do the bulk of approaching both in real life and online dating. They have to face countless rejections. The onus typically falls on the man to pay for the date. Men have to worry about if they're being used for their money. Women, this is why you shouldn't flake on a date.
