Huh.

What will they think of next.

I'm curious and kind of want to test the app now. See what it would make of my face. Since I practically never wear makeup at all. I like my face better without it.

Oh, and I love to see a girl wearing (tasteful) makeup. I also like to see her authentic natural self. No deception involved.
Of course you do!

Not deception on your part. It implies that you think SHE is being deceptive by wearing make-up, which is super ironic considering this:

You may not mean it that way, but the way you've described it here comes off as basically blackmail now. "Either show me a photo of you without makeup [a rude request], or I will know that you're uncomfortable, insecure and distrustful."

Yeah, never comes across that way in actual conversations. I prefer to meet up in real life when a certain level of mutual trust is achieved; it is useful because I have found that if someone is not going to be that comfortable with you at all online, they are more likely to flake anyway, and you're wasting your time. Same thing goes with girls who refuse to online date before a meeting they were all interested in.

Let's say you've been chatting with someone on a dating site, would you want to run their photo through such an app in order to see what they look like without make up before meeting them?
No
Doesn't seek like a productive use of my time or the electricity I pay for to charge my phone/tablet/whatever.


I do think wearing makeup is dumb

The question itself, no matter how charmingly you phrase it, ALWAYS comes off that way. Of course nice girls acquiesce and give you the photo because they don't want you to think they have something to hide, etc. so early in "the process."

But ... you think it's working, soooo .

I would install that app and use it on myself to make sock adjustments, lmao

Again, its a sexist app, probably invented by men on Red Pill or MGTOW.

Well, if you think so. But I had those conversations (and sometimes the question ain't necessary!), and I don't talk about seeing photos like that in the first few chats usually!

You seem to think I start talking to someone and am like "I'd love to see you without makeup, if not, then your wasting my time, and we won't meet". I will usually look for other signs that the person isn't comfortable with me before I skip them.

I'm going to do what works. If it means more trust is being built, then good.

That's good to know.

The timing isn't the problem, really.

Some girls are prettier in my eyes with no makeup but I wouldn't ask for a picture with no makeup before meeting.

One example for me is Snooki. I don't think she is pretty at all with her makeup. I saw the one pic that was on social media without makeup and she was really pretty.

Regardless of what anybody says, nearly everybody would be interested to see what a woman without make up looks like, and don't you deny it.


As a gay man I have a lot of what we call *** hags and trust me, they'd all want to know lol. Here's a tip guys, if you really want to know what women think, ask a gay man. Don't be afraid, we won't bite, but we have all kinds of inside knowledge and we'll sure educate you believe you me.


But anyway I mentioned earlier that this app could have benefits for women and someone asked me what those could be. Well, like I said, think about it. Do you want to waste your time with someone who is incompatible with you? Of course not. If a guy doesn't like how you look without make up and it's a big deal for him, do you really want to waste your time? Wouldn't you prefer to use that time spending it with someone who likes how you look naturally or doesn't care? This app will save you a lot of time. But it may also knock your self esteem a bit, but never mind.
