I am not talking about you but women in general. Makeup, revealing dresses are to increase the chances of successful mating or to get an upper edge on other women. Men are not nearly as competitive as women, after all Miss "Whatever" contest are much more common than Mr. Anything contests.

The contests aren't evidence that women are competitive. It's evidence that men like to ogle women and rank them.

No? LOL. Then why so many women participate in these contests then? Why so many go for breast implants and use make up to improve their looks?
You are foollng yourself.,

Many participate for the scholarship money. The makeup is part of the "uniform", like the required bathing suits, the gowns, and all that. I haven't seen those shows in a long time, but they didn't used to get implants. Not sure that they do now. I knew a couple of women who signed up for the contests. They did it for easy scholarship money and free travel. Women who need the scholarship money can't afford implants, btw.

The contests are also evidence that parading women around in bathing suits makes for good entertainment and sells a lot of advertising. You seem to think women invented these contests. You'd be wrong.

It is also a proof that for many women parading in bathing suits is a acceptable source of income. Nobody forces anyone to participate. C'mon now. Women are not victims of sex appeal and sex - they have been taking advantage of them for ages. LOL

No offense, maybe im just dumb? But how can a guy use you for sex if your a willing person and you had sex with him? Further when i think used, its you were taken advantage of and got nothing out of it? But if you had sex, then you must enjoy it or why have it, unless you had some alt expectation for having sex(it will lead to something mor? If thats the case then the issue is having alt expectations, not being used. Unless you sat down with that person before sex and you said you just didn't want sex and a guy agreed, ok, which i always talk about expectations b4 sex so there are no missunderstandings or hurt feelings.

I guess the second question i will ask is when has seeking sex or wantting or having sex bad ladies? Your ether interested or not. Seeking and trying to get needs met isn't ugly, bad or wrong? That would be like saying you ladies use us to get your emotional needs met by calling us and wantting to talk forever or share everthing or even just be friends. Crazy, i really think alot of the issues today between men and ladies and misunderstanding is because we forget and don't understand that men and women are fundamentally different chemically that effects how we think etc.

There isn't anyone I don't already know with whom I want to have sex. (This includes celebrities.) But sure eventually is a long time and I might want to have sex with them after I get to know them.
