Why do chicks wear make-up?

walking out of your house with a painted face?

mad.

I guess I can understand it if your after a bit of cock. But otherwise?

mad as cheese.

I much prefer the natural look on a lass personally.. Not a fan of all that clart,can spoil an already nice looking face for me.But that's just me Suppose a bit of make-up if a bird really needs it,cos,well,she's a bit of a munter,can be useful for her!

And your excuse for wearing make-up lads?!??!?

Oops.......Soz lads! You do wear that natural look really well! Honest!:\ohwell:

why do emo kids have floppy fringes??

i think the question should be 'why do blokes wear make up?'

Which brings about another question: is Boy George really a bloke?

Either he's a bloke or he's a chick with a serious throat tumour ;)

Why do women wear make up and perfume?

Cos they're ugly and they smell.

I'll get me coat tomorrow, for now I'll just run.

"Why don't men wear makeup?" would be my question...

the only one of the things you list we NEED is the toothbrush, the others are only so we make ourselves acceptable to women.

If there were no women we'd sit in our boxers and grow beards, surrounded by moutains of beer empties, the playstation would also predate the wheel.

They did a test on Top Gear once.... Could the ford world rally team change every single component of the suspension and transmission on a world rally car quicker than some chicks could get ready to go out....needles to say, the car drove off before even shoes had been decided on.

i have it on good authority that females dress up etc not for guys, but to impress other females.

well of course they do, while most of us do appreciate the result, most of us also think it isn't neccessary.

a well made up female in a hot dress does look hot but.

When out in the "field" we shower every 3-4 days, change our clothes once a week (change of socks and drawers are a daily must though), and talk inthe most obsene and vulgar way....but we don't forget to brush our teeth....and there are no women present. I would say the Doctor hot the nail on the head.

I quite like make-up, but I like make-up that is barely there.

Heavily-applied makeup sucks. The best application of makeup is minimal, like a little lip gloss, a touch of blush, and that's it.

Just my opinion.

Emma

PS I think Ron is right. Women usually dress up and put on makeup to impress their female friends. I know that when a woman says to me "I love your dress" or "What's the name of your lip gloss? I want it" or something to that effect, it feels good to be complimented.

yup the barely there makeup is the way to go.

Why do girls wear make-up? Have you ever seen a girl first thing in the morning?...

look i know blokes are as daft as a brush,but honestly would a bloke spend ages plucking his eyebrows off,only to draw them back on again with a pencil. i think not.

They're trying to get compliments from their female friends, cos they know their men won't even notice.

Not quite. I think it is about competition.

'cause it pays to advertise what you are trying to sell, and cover up what you can't sell

Maybe that old Millers ad was onto something...

She told me we couldn't afford beer anymore and I'd have to quit.Then I caught her spending $60 on make-up.And I asked her how come I'd have to give stuff up and she didn't.She said she needed the make-up to look pretty for me.I told her that was what the beer was for.I don't know if she's coming back.

Miller Beer: Good call.

• do you know how badly you can smell. Or the damage that 24 hr.s w/out shaving can do to our (the ladies')skin?! There also is the reason that you dive into the shower at first chance. eh.

Can't be wearing too much of any make-up in most climates unless you want to go around looking like Liza Minnelli or Courtney Love caught in the rain. Same thing for fussy hairstyles.

The competition thing. Don't see that. It's genuine if you're OK with who you are.. There are a few older East Indian Ladies who work in the shops 'round here and I'm always asking about their lipstick. etc.s Just the shimmeriest deep colours. Mezmerizing really.

Then there are the gals at the cosmetic counter it's a class act to wear make-up well. Stuardesses et al.

Some women look better with it, some look better without it...and then there's Tammy Faye Bakker

So make your own call on that one

Nail on the head as usual

Women try to make themselves 'attractive' wheras men stop as soon as we get to 'acceptable'.

. . . . i'm off to do me teeth now! :D

Why do women wear make-up??

Have you SEEN me without make up?

Actually I only bother with it if i'm going out at night or if i've got a huge spot on my face. Much prefer being au-naturale (apart from my orange glow), but it would be unfair to make people face me like that.

But if I have a spot on my face, I go out anyway - what's the problem? & no, I havent seen you without makeup, but you look pretty in your photos (as do most women imho).

I heard something recently about women getting more attractive in recent generations, while us men are getting uglier - personally i'd believe that, but women just don't see themselves the way we do

I don't mind the occasional light makeup touches here and there (tasteful eye shadow, eyelash volumizer, lipstick), but if a girl isn't a looker au naturale, she's not worth having at all

Like when you fancy a mint celebrity, and see them....without makeup and it's :barf: heaven...that is not cool, fooking superficial Hollywood.

The external has to be at least appealing before you can get to know the internal workings (and I don't mean her stomach, esophagus, etc. I mean her personality and character).

That being said, attractive is in the eye of the beholder. There are women that every man would agree on being attractive, and then you get into situations where a woman might be attractive to one group but not so to another.

Personally, I like women who look good without make-up, and make-up can be a turn-off if you're Bozo the Clown with it. Of course, I'm petrified of clowns, so that might have something to do with it

I HAVE seen you first thing in the morning, and, apart from the welded shut eyes, yer still fairly pretty, which is a talent as a lot of chicks look like welders for 2 hours after waking.

So is the above an admission of fake orangeness at last? And there's me thinking you just held a tan well, and defending your honour and all.

Huffing now.

I wear make-up for both aesthetic and health reasons. Aside from making myself look good, I have sensitive skin. I put on SPF 30 suncreen with mineral powder. Mineral make-up is so much better than the chemical fillers kind. Blech! Plus, mineral make-up is lighter and more natural-looking.

I've never held it against a woman on the looks she was born with. What I don't like are those that "give-up" and stop doing anything to look attractive. (shaving, hygeine, brushing hair, off-the-rack WalMart clothes come to mind).

JHC

rather, Why do some birds have big hairy growlers? never understood that. gimme an 8mm Stripey or a neat top hat anyday. :p

I think make-up was originally invented to attract men by using blush on the cheeks and colour on the lips to mimic the look of a woman when she is sexually aroused - that's what I read somewhere once anyway.

I always wear a bit (for modern reasons, not the one stated above). I think you get used to seeing yourself a certain way and if I don't bother one day, I feel like something is missing.

My wife only wears lipstick, and I've dated other women that only wear lipstick. I do like lipstick (on women!) but if you can get away with not needing anything else, all the better. A bit more makeup is ok to accentuate some things, sometimes.

I read that mimicing the after sex look was the original idea for make-up aswell once,forgot about that...

Whoever invented the made-up clown look, must have had one hell of a serious rodgering...

Don't think it's about getting away with not needing it? Or is it!!

Any of you men had a fling with someone who you no longer fancied when she took her make-up off???

Blowjobs with a heavy coating of lipstick. Can't beat 'em!

Lipgloss works better - more slippery

No,but when she took her leg off I was slightly less enamoured

I'll admit to once chatting up a guy in a night club, when we went to the bar I noticed he had spray on hair paint to cover his bald patches!!! I soon made my excuses!

Poor guy, hope he is now growing old gracefully.

get 'em to pop an extra strong mint in their mouth

I am happy with a bald man though, it is the spray I objected to!

Yes, the key is going bald gracefully. The spray paint is just too funny. Talk about insecure!

Mineral make-up hasn't really made it here yet, it is only on the organic/natural health products websites and a few posh beauticians. I agree with you - it is great stuff.

I very rarely wear make up and I don't give a toss if people think I'm ugly without it.

My husband likes me without make up. I don't see why women have to impress others by wearing it. What do blokes do if they haven't been gifted with good looks?

It's all about what's inside.

I definately agree, and please forgive my remark if it was a bit brash....a little too much scotch in me.

But do remember guys are a visual folks, whereas women are not as much.

As for guys and makeup? They throw on more attitude or "confidence". Women aren't into looks like guys are.
