Jet scores again! Make-up requires too much fussiness, too much checking in the mirror, touching up, carrying around clutter in the purse.
But...whatever. To each her own.
I don't carry a purse either
I have a bunch for some reason....but the only time I use one is when I have no pockets, which is a rarity.
I did buy a rather bulky Wonder Woman wallet (one of those hard hinged ones) so I may have to start carrying around a small bag because it won't fit in my pocket easily.
Regardless, I always forget when I wear makeup and end up rubbing my eyes and then my eyes hurt and I look like Alice Cooper.
You're not putting yourself in a guy's shoes, because a guy wouldn't think like that. For some guys, it would definitely need to be said.
Well, I'm not a guy, so I wouldn't know. Maybe my term "putting myself in a guy's shoes" was not the correct way to say it. I was merely putting myself in the shoes of going up to someone of the opposite sex and telling them they are attractive. If I wanted to talk to them, that's not the line I'd use.
Jet scores again! Make-up requires too much fussiness, too much checking in the mirror, touching up, carrying around clutter in the purse. Not to mention the cost. And I wouldn't call you one of the rare ones, J. Just normal.

I am in the slacker club with you guys. I'll keep some lip gloss in my purse. But my makeup is for appearances. It only makes guesy appearances a few times a year.
Jet doesn't go out of her way to attract attention, but I guess she can't help it...it must really suck, I'm sure.
I'm 6'1 with a large chest. I get plenty of attention but it's rarely good attention. When you have kids telling their parents 'WOW MOM, SHE'S HUGE' all the time, or strangers around you having conversations about your boobs then you can talk.

Yes that too...society definitely judges women more on appearance. What's more, compliments can actually be unhelpful to female self-image, yet it seems OTHER WOMEN are the biggest culprits, constantly fawning over each other and obsessing over their own appearance.
Women who approach guys never tell them they're attractive. Is someone weren't attractive in some respect, they wouldn't be approached, that's obvious. I talk to guys informally whenever the occasion arises--just chatting to pass the time, as often as not. It would never occur to me to say they're attractive. Generally speaking, attraction happens after I already know the guy somewhat. In a case like that, we're usually both attracted to each other, anyway. Otherwise, I'm usually attracted by a warm smile, no matter what the guy looks like otherwise. I'd never walk up to someone and say, "Hi, you have a nice, warm smile", or something. Doesn't that sound a little ridiculous? That's not how human interaction usually works. I might say that AFTER we've had a convo or two or three, and are clicking. But as an opener? pshhh, get real! That simply isn't how it's done.
Besides, what do you follow it up with? If someone came up to me and said they found me attractive, what do you say, but "thank you"? It's not a conversation opener. I'd be thinking, "yeah, so what else you got? What do you have to offer for a conversation topic?" This is why the weather, or items in your shopping basket, the book you're buying/carrying, ANYTHING that's low-key and respectful works better. "Cool T-shirt! Where'd you get that?" A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G, but a sly smile, roadblock, and comment on physicality. The latter are more like red flags/turn-offs.

Youre in fantasy land again, Ruth. Plaent Earth is calling you home.

That's funny. The women, and even some of the guys here, agree with me. What planet did you say you're from?
