I would say that's true for many men - but like I said before - it seems that many "fake" looking women are married or in relationships. Walk around Vegas. My husband and I were laughing at all the fake boobed women with tons of makeup that were with their husbands or boyfriends (or maybe johns but I can't tell). And that's how those women choose to express themselves and that's what those men find attractive. There's a poster on here that enjoys telling people how they aren't attractive (including yours truly) - and it turns out that what floats his boat is the porn star/playboy bunny look.
Vegas is a whole different world when it comes to this topic, and i call it the capitol of fake boobs. Not to mention, no one really knows what these women looked like when they got married or when they began dating. Im just going by my own opinon and the guys i have asked about this topic and sharing my observations. I have no doubt that there are some men who find the clown look attractive.
THat is true, but the end effect is that while enhanced, it is still a nautral look and definitely not easily detected by a guy.
Of course.... I've agreed with you all along.
As I've said, the natural makeup look, when properly done, is nearly undetectable - nude matte lip, light mascara, perfectly matched foundation, maybe a touch of cheek contour. Hair color if you need it. But all makeup/hair/skin bronzer should be kept as close as possible to your natural coloring.
I'll recommend again Bobbi Brown's makeup book for tips on this.
WHo finds this attractive, other than pump and dumpers?
OMG her boobs look like they are going to pop! She looks gross in my opinion, but I'm a woman so what do I know.

If only you guys really knew. (Well, married guys who have seen it all generally do.)
Hey I don't look half bad in the morning.
However, I still like to look better than I do when I roll out of bed! lol
Agree 100%, good example. Most men ive asked about this, told me exact same thing.
Same here. The only guys I really meet on a regular basis who are drawn to overtly-fake looking women are usually doing so because they're just looking for a sex toy.
I think that due to popular media's stake in fashion and beauty products, "natural" has been given a negative association that conjures up images of hippie chicks in tie-dyed linen skirts, wearing hemp necklaces, smelling like sandalwood and patchouli and using Dr. Bronner's Natural Soap for her entire body, face, hair, and dishes. To me, it just means a woman who doesn't spend an hour plus in the bathroom getting ready to go out to get tacos - and I've been with women who are like this...
However, I still like to look better than I do when I roll out of bed! lol
^ Exactly.
We already know what we look like naturally and we know that what we want to look like, is our best possible us...if that makes sense.
I just don't see the morality of 30 minutes of earth tones v. 30 minutes of non-earth tones as being somehow more "honest" or virtuous...which is what I'm attempting to point out to the OP. He isn't really saying he doesn't like women in makeup (if the singer above is any indication). He's saying he doesn't want to know she has all that makeup on yet he still wants her to be gorgeous -- which is very obviously a personal preference, not a nod to anyone's honesty or lack thereof.
My SO is inclined to agree. He's not much into fake overload, unless it's a bit Goth, and even then, there's a time and place for it.
However, I had to chuckle at your use of the term "massage parlors." I think you mean "spas." The term "massage parlor," while once denoting a place to get massages, is more frequently meant to be synonymous with "rub and tug" houses of prostitution. I can assure you that most women do not frequent massage parlors!
Oh, forgive my ignorance. I dont go to massage parlors, i go with the foam roller for the most part. Although, I really need to go to the Chinese place down the street, where you get a hardcore massage by older chinese ladies, who walk on you while screaming obscenities in chinese. Sounds awesome, gonna have to do it sometime soon.
Erm. Here is what "natural" Fiora is very obviously wearing:
* foundation
* contour (false "highlighting"/sun-kissed glow) - cheeks, eyes, temples
* blush - cheeks, forehead, chin
* lipstick
* brow color/filler (looks like pencil v. something like powder)
* winged jet-black eyeliner
* outer-corner false eyelashes
* at least two colors/tones of earth-colored eye shadow
* fake hair piece (coming across her neck)
* crimped natural hair plus crimped false hair/extensions
* the best possible lighting for the shoot
* whitened teeth
* Photoshop in an attempt to make it all look more blended/natural (but it's all pretty obvious regardless, especially to anyone who has ever worn makeup)
It took a bare minimum of 90 minutes for her to achieve this look. Correction: for professionals, at $500 an hour, to create this look on her.
You guys think you want natural. Then you point to something like this which only proves you want a woman who's got tons of the ol' unnatural going on.
Thanks for typing this post out.
So I'm confused...guys still want women to spend a lot of time on a look that guys think is natural?
There was a thread on the fashion and beauty forum about natural/nude application...still takes considerable time for a model to get that "natural" look.
Same here. The only guys I really meet on a regular basis who are drawn to overtly-fake looking women are usually doing so because they're just looking for a sex toy.
^ This. And I'd put money down that the big-boobed picture with the black eyeshadow is a porn star (does anybody know who she is?), in which case looking phony is what's expected. I really don't see women walking around looking like her unless I'm in Hollywood or B. Hills (where it's fine to look like a porn star and not be one), or in a porno I've accidentally flicked past before it scrambled.
The OP is asserting that this is a very common look for the average woman on the street -- and the basic look of "wearing makeup", period. Something I must disagree with.

I'm ok rolling out of bed and going into Starbucks with no makeup and my hair pulled up. I do think I look better with combed hair and a touch of lip stain and mascara though. My SO likes my messy hair, no make-up look though, so who knows.
