Obviously, it affects you, or you wouldn't be spending so much time telling me how much it doesn't affect you......

No what I'm saying is it's not going to do a damn thing in relation to my posts, so you're pointing out this and that, good I guess. it's a waste of your time either way. Got it? If not, oh well.

And you think most women don't constantly work at that? Teeth whitening, veneers, working out, drinking water and taking vitamins to keep their eyes clear, expertly applied makeup to make it look like they're not wearing any etc etc. Even down to hair treatments (even if it's at home) coloring, manicures etc. it takes hours and hours to look 'naturally' pretty. Plus, you'd be surprised how much well groomed eyebrows can change a persons face. That's one thing that I do maintain because I've seen the difference it can make in a person.

I tried it once, it was exhausting, and I did most of it by myself at home.

Why is everyone painting with such a broad brush? At the risk of sounding conceited, people often imply that I am "high maintenance" when I'm no where close to it. The only thing I do daily to maintain my looks is exercise - and that's a 45-minute workout and I make sure I read for 30 minutes of it, to get more out of my time. I have long wavy hair (rarely trimmed and when I do, it's at Super Cuts or Great Clips). I've tried expensive salons and there is no difference for me. I don't dye my hair and I don't get highlights. I don't get my eyebrows professionally done, I don't go to a dermatologist. I do my own nails. I'm not hairy at all, so no need to wax or laser. I had braces as a teenager, and I don't drink coffee or smoke - so no teeth whitening necessary (I've never had a cavity so no spending $ on dental).

I make sure to dress nice - I wouldn't be caught out in sweats. I do love nice clothes, but I've maintained the same weight since high school so I don't need a revolving closet with different sizes.

People refer to me as glamorous, as my hair is always groomed and I at least wear lipgloss when going out. Many have expressed surprise when I say I camp with my kids because they say I don't look like I'd be into camping. I had an acquaintance at dinner comment once that she'd love to spend more time on her clothes like I do, except that she wasn't lucky enough to have 'hired help' (I never have, but she was assuming).

To each his own - I personally love the glam look, but I also appreciate women who can sport a wholesome look. I just don't know why people have to attach morality to it and make comments about any type of decent appearance having to be "fake".

I have absolutely no issues with women who take care of their appearance. I do basically everything you do and I'm not attractive. You have to have the base to start with and you seem very lucky in that respect. I also don't drink coffee or smoke (although I did on and off, maybe 2 cigarettes a month a few years back) and my teeth aren't completely white or straight even though I had braces for 5 years, I've also never had a cavity. My hair started greying at 17 and I'm about 50% salt and pepper at 28, so yes, I dye my hair.

Sometimes, people are lucky and don't have to try as hard, you're one of them. There are many women out there who have to try just to look 'naturally' pretty.

I agree most men DO prefer women with at least some makeup. Women who think men prefer the 'natural' look are kidding themselves. Few women these days truly sport the natural look (depending on your area). Many men would be shocked at how that 'hot chick' looks au naturale. Some women think that because they look good in makeup they should look good without it, and feel a sense of superiority that they are naturally more attractive than men.

I guess it's just easy to typecast people. Best not to forgot people are individuals with idiosyncracies.

i sport the natural, don't care look. It's never been successful anyways, LOL. I agree with you though, most men would be very shocked to see what wonders make can do, to a certain extent. If you seen those celebs without make up tabloids it's crazy how their looks change. BUT if some woman think just slapping on some make up is going to turn her from ugly to pretty, I don't believe that.
