There's a reason most famous women are so-called glamorous and sexy, with false lashes, outlandish clothes, dyed hair (Kardashians, that singer on The Voice, Lady Gaga, MaDonna, Cher in her day, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore who looks natural but most definitely spends a ton on her appearance and wears false lashes, Victoria Secret models, etc.).
Right. Everyone should just go natural and we'll see how that goes. And celebs do go without in public, of course, then they are "incognito". I would like to see men's reactions to female celebrities in their "photos without makeup", which are available online. I recall as we discussed this on another site (that is easier to post images on), when photos were viewed, the men were in denial about "who the women were" or how "those photos were made to appear that way" (like the good ones that ARE retouched and perfected). I recall a guy I worked with once who would go on about some models he liked.. (again, falling in love with imagery), until we pointed out photos of them not all done up. He was pretty freaked out, saying "they lied...they lied" - left the room, then was bummed out all day. Unreal.

Maybe men who are inclined to be realistic are those guys who grew up in a home with a lot of women.

But sometimes men does not know what without make up means. Sometimes they think girls with cream, mascara, eye liner and lipstick are "natural"

I know, right? Not long ago my husband was looking at pix like that and saw one of Faith Hill with no makeup, and OMG he talked about it for days! He was in total shock and disbelief at what her "natural" look is. I think most men just have NO clue!!

"It's like I ripped up the shag carpeting expecting hardwood floors, but it was just linoleum."

Lol.. yeah, I had mentioned somewhere here how it would have been nice if this had not been established to do, to have to embellish on what exists, while men are accepted "as is". Then, there would still be some sort of standard created and comparisons made, just as there are "more" or "less" attractive men. But at least women would not go to more trouble and expense, to enhance themselves. I've wondered when men say they "like the natural look", if they mean "a teen girl"...or if referring to a natural-looking makeup application, unaware that is what it is.

Hi, I knew then even before that most men would prefer women who do not wear make up and dress up only in a very simple way. However, I think there are still a few men who likes the other way around

Well, then just say no to them ...lol. Maybe if more men would speak up, women who are inclined to disfigure themselves would stop going to such lengths to fit some (unnecessary) mold.

The stupid thing with boobs (and rears) was designed to "please men", but when not being natural, how are they even appealing? Ugh. They apparently cannot sleep on their stomachs and on their backs, their boobs do not do what natural ones will. And I don't know why this hair removal began, when having hair there is purposely a "dry lubricant".
