Men are actually clueless and generally cannot tell if a girl is wearing makeup or not and what’s natural or not, they think these women are “natural” beauties and are completely oblivious to what actually goes into creating their looks. I get my brows and nails done, lash extensions, wear makeup and sometimes a spray tan and men are none the wiser, they don’t know that it’s not “natural” lol

"Natural" to them = flawless and effortlessly perfect without makeup. The types of guys who claim to want natural girls are the same ones who joke about taking a girl swimming on the first date. They consider makeup to be deceptive and don't want to be 'tricked.' 🙄

Natural, but only if she is already strikingly beautiful. Ugly girls can gtfo and will be attacked whether they try or not.

This used to perplex and annoy me. Then I realized that men are much less rational than society would have us believe.

It’s part of the reason I had a come to Jesus with myself about my grooming, fitness, and beauty regimens. I stopped anything I was doing solely for the male gaze. Now I do what I want, what I like, and what makes me feel good. Quarantine has put this front and center since I don’t see anyone as often but I still choose to paint my nails, groom my brows, match my undergarments, and maintain my skin care even if I don’t expect anyone (especially a man) to see it.

If a man enjoys my choices, well, congrats. But I no longer go to lengths to impress them because as the meme implies, they’re too dumb to know the difference most of the time and they generally lack respect for the pain and cost associated with being their definition of appealing.

THIS.

A whole lot of men act as if plastic surgery is the greatest sin a woman could ever commit and treat it as if it's somehow a personal insult directed at THEM and THEM alone - but at the same time, they are sexually attracted the most to women who obviously and unquestionably had plastic surgery (or pose/edit their pictures and videos as if they had had one).

Lockdown has been a blessing in this respect. Since I started working from home I've been loving the fact that I get to rock the natural look all the time without having to hear a running commentary on my appearance.

I don't mean the "natural" look that men like, involving perfectly blended subtle makeup and fake tan, shaved body hair below the neck, groomed eyebrows and manicures and pedicures in pale colours, to name a few from a long list. I mean the actual natural look, which involves throwing on a T-shirt and comfy sweatpants and doing nothing to maintain my appearance. You know, like men do. Well, actually I still do more than some men because at least I exercise and shower regularly.

It's been absolute bliss and has made me start questioning why I'm wasting my time and money on a lot of this stuff in the first place.

This is extremely relevant. It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kinda struggle if you happen to have the IG baddie look by mere coincidence.

I have always had thick eyebrows and full lips with a super square jawline, it comes with the territory of being Desi. Also super top heavy courtesy of genetics. I started heavy lifting three years ago because I was painfully aware of how disproportionate I looked, and now I have the typical "in style" shape.

Guys will INSIST I have had implants, both in my butt and boobs.

Guys will INSIST I have fake lashes, lip fillers, and jaw augmentation.

Guys will INSIST I'm wearing makeup when I'm really not.

And they're extremely mean and rude about it, to top it off.

So why even bother? Why even try when they're too stupid to know the difference between real and fake, and too insecure to appreciate a woman's beauty--so they just put her down for it? Waste of my damn time smh

There’s a girl I follow on FB that’s very open with her sexuality. She talks about her sex life, posts sexy pictures from time to time, even sells video and pictures.

Sometimes she’ll post screen shots of men commenting their typical misogynistic BS on her posts, yet begging for a piece of pussy in her inbox 😂😂😂

Yep. I guess men don't realize that nude colored make up exists. They think if a girl isn't wearing blue or green eyeshadow with bright red lipstick that she doesn't have make up on. Male lurkers here's somethin fun you can do.

Go on YouTube and search "natural make up tutorial" or "no make up make up" and see how much actually goes into what you think is completely natural.

Usually it's something like

primer
foundation
concealer
eyeshadow
eyeliner
mascara and even false lashes (they can look very natural) or extensions
brow filler/pencil
lipstick or lip gloss
blush or highlighter
setting spray

Watched one with my own boyfriend and he was literally shocked Pikachu ,"I didn't know she was even wearing make up!!" It's also not just make up and surgery, it's photo editing too. Everything gets airbrushed and smoothed out. You can also go to any plastic surgery sub or video and see how natural the results are. Procedures like rhinoplasty and breast augmentation are incredibly common... Little things like fillers, canthoplastys, brow lifts are too, and they are subtle.

Stuff like this is the reason why I don't date men who use apps like instagram and snapchat.

hanjaporfavor · 2020-08-20T13:57:18+00:00

Oh look my ex in a picture 🤡🤡

On another note, yes always received good feedback on the pictures I take I just think that social media is a bit saturated with pretty people. Should I start taking 🔥 selfies and blow up my insta too? 🤔

AbundantOverflow · 2020-08-20T19:01:16+00:00

I have just asked for money and gotten it. Sometimes I say what it’s for and sometimes not. But I agree that they should periodically volunteer just because.

mimkadinka · 2020-08-20T16:30:27+00:00

my boyfriend always says he prefers natural girls but his ~spank bank~ material of choice is instagram models.

sometimes i don't care because people are allowed to be turned on by whatever, and because i assume it has to do with "biological" and "primitive" instincts kicking in. like i assume having that visual when you're alone is way different than having sex with a real woman with whom you feel a connection, but if it turns into an addition that affects their ability/desire to have sex with a real woman, that's definitely when they have a huge issue.

other times i just don't fucking get it and get annoyed because why don't you look at more natural/real looking women then. also because i feel like it has a lot to do with social media saturating everybody with these unrealistic expectations of women.
