Bringing the female psyche into the mix can be very dangerous. IIIII I don't think we are safe anymore...

If you like Latina women than go for it. I do think appearance is very important to Latins from makeup to clothing and I know this goes back to the REAL Latins from Europe. Americans were more Puritanical and frontier type of people.

But since you were making comparisons I will point something out that I have noticed too. I see many Mexican men at Walmart too and I noticed that they have a nice head of thick black hair with very little hair loss, they have nice muscle tone and their skin doesn't get wrinkled and freckled.

Default Women with make up on

I live here in the North West. Very few blacks and Hispanics. Hispanic women look so pretty with make up on and their hair pulled black in a pony tail. The white women out here look horrible. They will look at you like you are from another planet if you have make up on. The white women on the East coast and in the South wear make up and they do their hair. I think it has a lot to do with culture and upbringing. Most people out here in the west don't work. They either get social security checks or they live off of the system. So they don't feel a need to look presentable to society.

How did you bypass the C-D IQ test to be able to post here?

I found your comments about people living off the system not making themselves look presentable thought provoking. When I see old movies or pictures it looks like all women wore makeup. It looks like they didn't leave the house without a fresh coat of lipstick. Of course before 1964 and LBJs "War On Poverty" very few people lived off the system, there wasn't really a system to speak of. I wonder if there is a correlation between the welfare state and women wearing less makeup? That may sound far fetched to some but it makes sense to me.

Getting back to the original question I asked two years ago. I wil guess Miami is also another good city for makeup sales. These statistcs have to exist somewhere. I remember a book in my college library, I think it was by a compny called Simmon's. It would index sales of every consumer product you can imagine by every demographic including region and I believe metro area.

With all the heat and humidity, you sweat too much. Makeup just drips off your face.
