How much thought do you put into your appearance? Ladies, do you wear makeup? Do you work out? How about plucking/waxing eyebrows and body hair? How many hair products do you have/use? What about clothing? Is clothing and style important to you, or is it more of a utilitarian thing? Girly-ness level 1-10, in short :2thumbsup:. Also, on an unrelated note....does anyone love calling themselves a "princess", or say they deserve to be treated like one...or wear tiaras on their birthday, etc.? For the guys: How much does all of the above matter to you? What is the minimum level of self-care that you find attractive or are willing to accept in a female companion?
There's a girl at my work and she basically wears no makeup, spends 20 minutes getting ready, and in my opinion she is one of the best looking girls there. Girls need to stop wearing two pounds of makeup
for me, i dont like girls who are all maintainance, and put a shit ton of makeup on. i like a girl taht doesnt mind getting dirty. some maintainance is alright tho. thats y i love girls with dreads.
I’m not looking for high maintenance; I’m looking for a woman whose confidence matches my own. She can’t be fat or out of shape of course but otherwise I don’t care :2thumbsup: Hotwater
This isn't really a fair question for me because I'm in the beauty business. I have to look put together for work. Yes, I wear makeup. I wax my eyebrows. I have a shit ton of hair products because that is my job. I'm not that into clothes. As long as I look presentable that's all that matters. That being said...I can get in the shower and be walking out the door in 30 minutes. I have this down to a fine science. I do all of that stuff but I still consider myself pretty low maintenance. I do it because I have to for work. I'm not one of those girls that won't leave the house without make up. I don't mind getting dirty. I like going camping, fishing, shooting guns, 4 wheeling and that kind of stuff. I'm definitely NOT a princess. I hate that term. That should only be used for girls under the age of 10 imo. I wasn't even a princess at that age. I'm basically a tomboy but with better hair and a little make up.
I used to work out and style my hair. I worked out mainly for sports, but I'm not going to lie, I did try to look good - not sure about my success with that though. I'm 45 now, I'm not worried about trying to be a stud, it would futile for me anyway. As far as minimum self care for a lady - must take a bath. Physical attractiveness does catch most people's attention first but I've had enough experience to know that personality is what makes things really good or really bad in a relationship so make up and hair styles are fine but not that important for me.
I like women who take care of their appearance, have well-groomed hair and dress nicely. I am not opposed to makeup and perfume as long as it's not in excess. However, a woman's physical shape and overall health is more important to me. I don't mind a few extra pounds, but I could never be in a physical relationship with somebody who is obese or more than a little overweight. But I must say that if there is a connection with someone on a personal level, and there are shared interests, looks have less importance. Still, there needs to be some physical attraction for there to be an intimate relationship.
I put much thought, but do not wear makeup. For clear skin, I eat only healthy foods, drink water, and exercise each day with yoga or gymnastics. )) I exfoliate, and moisturise 2 times each week, and never have had problems with skin. I wax legs each 3 weeks, and also the same time for my eyebrows. I have so many hair products ) most time I have in the morning is making my hair. I have even more of perfumes! I collect perfumes since my childhood. Clothing is important also, but not as important to me as skin, hair and weight.
Never seen alone, I have always wanted to wak into a room.. and see a girl push a clip into a gun, take a line of cocaine on a glass table in her lingerie, throw her hair back, and look at me with a wink oh... my.. it would be angelic..
I don't wear a lot of make up. Some days I don't bother with it at all, some days I'll wear lipstick or line my eyes and put on mascara, but I don't ever wear a full face of make up. I do tweeze my eyebrows on occasion, but just the spare hairs. I like when they're full and natural I like when my body is in shape - I work out because I like the way it makes me feel healthwise, but I definitely enjoy the way it sculpts my body too. I don't really use any hair products. Usually I just let it dry wavy, occasionally I'l blow it dry. Its halfway down my back and I prefer it at this length because it almost always looks good without me having to do anything to it. I am a girly girl about my clothes. I love fashion to be honest. I don't spend a lot of time and money on my wardrobe though - about 90% of my clothes are hand me downs or thrifted. I think I have really good style, I can throw together some awesome outfits out of someone else's cast offs. Overall I'm definitely more tomboy than girly girl. i don't have a problem camping for a few days without a shower.
My wife takes good care of herself for the most part. She wears a little make-up but not much. She likes to dress well. That's ok. It's really up to her. If she's happy with her appearance than I'm happy. I don't put any pressure on her at all about it. She usually looks better than I do. But she knows that my favorite time to ogle her is first thing in the morning. She's definitely not a tomboy but she likes to garden and do home improvements, etc. She's not afraid to get dirty.
To respond to my own thread: I have no idea how to do a full face of makeup, but I do wear eye makeup some days. I don't own a hair straightener or curling iron. I own some hairspray but have never used it. I wash my face daily, pluck my eyebrows a bit (I have full eyebrows that people don't really like, but fuck it, I like 'em as they are). I work out not for the shape it gives me, but for the feeling it provides and the health benefits I also have no idea how to dress. I have no problems with wearing the same clothes for a long time. I rarely buy new clothing, and have no fashion sense. at all. I simply don't get it, lol. I wish that I did, sometimes. It seems fun. I wake up 15 minutes before I have to leave in the morning. I suppose I look clean and organized, but I don't care much about extra fluff. I try and present myself as I actually am, not as I wish I looked. Seeing myself made up seems fake, since I know I would never do that in day to day life.
I don't wear make-up, I don't dress the way I'm supposed to (usually). My hair is low-maintenance on a daily basis, although about once a month I do about 2 days of deep cleaning. I don't put anything on my hair besides natural self-made "shampoo". It takes me like 30 seconds to style my hair if I style it at all. And style it is basically putting some kind of wrap or headband on it or just putting it in a ponytail. Every now and then I'll pin it up. I grew up thinking the most important thing for me to do was to wear jewelry, wear the perfect clothes and have the perfect hair. My identity was in being the pretty girl and having the nicest clothes and hair. It's not that I really wanted that, it was just all I knew, it became a chore. Around the time I was introduced to make-up I felt really overwhelmed with the whole beauty routine. I slowly started stripping all of the rules and ended up dropping all of the whole routine. I can't wear a pair of earrings to save my life. I feel really happy being free from someone else's ideas of how I'm supposed to look. As for getting dirty...bring it on. There are few things I love more than camping and hiking. My nails get clipped when they get too long, I don't paint them. I don't need to have professionally done nails or hair. I don't even cleanse my face anymore, I find that I have less skin problems now that I put nothing on it. Although as my hair gets longer I'm thinking about trying to find a good stylist.
I think that is a sad reality for many young girls, these days. Growing up, I experienced intermittent pressure from my family to dress a certain way, but I feel as though they knew it was all silly and were just feeling the pressure themselves. Mostly, I try and dress and act for myself, not for other people. If you want to get dolled up, fine. If you want to look plain or natural, that is fine too.
I care about clothes quite a bit... I think they are fun. Though mostly what I care about is their functionality as well as how they look. I have never worn makeup I don't actually even know how to put it on! I guess I care more about looking healthy and fit than being 'beautiful'
i can't get into an obese woman. i don't really give a fuck about makeup, clothes, and hairstyle though. a lot of times, i think all those things actually take away from a woman's attractiveness. very much. anyone that calls themselves princess and wears a tiara has basically zero chance with me. very true. of the top four women that i've been most attracted to in my life, two of them were not considered particularly good-looking by most people. although they were both in good shape.
I use make up. Not going to be embarrassed by it, I like my eyes to look sexy or appealing to my partners attractions. But this is when I'm going out at home I don't do anything but moisturise and wash my body and my hair. I have lots of oils I like massaging into my hair. But when I'm getting loose as a moose on the streets I doll myself up a bit.
