General Question

Guys, do you prefer your woman made up or able to present herself with or without?

Asked by jlelandg (3536points) December 30th, 2010

Inspiration is from this. Would you rather date a girl like Katy Perry who depends on a paint job to make her sexy looks, or a regular girl who might use a dash or two of makeup here and there?

I’m sorry, are you really asking if guys want a girl who’s beautiful, or a girl who needs makeup to be beautiful? Is that a real question?

Can dudes get over the fact that most women look better with makeup, please?

I would prefer someone that will drive me to taco bell in the morning in a robe. Not a fan or make-up. I don’t care if you paint your face. I’m looking at your tits.

I’m a woman who does not wear make up. I think it is the biggest fraud that has ever been perpetrated on the buying public.

@Not_the_CIA So, real or not; does it matter?

Of course Katy Perry looks better with all that makeup. I’m sure that any woman who has her makeup professionally done looks gorgeous just like she does. Nobody’s lips are naturally red; very few women have perfectly clear skin; no one’s eyelashes are that long or full without mascara.
The difference with Katy Perry and with many women, though, is that she’s cute regardless.

Some women won’t be seen without makeup, and I think that’s ridiculous. I do wear makeup, but not a ton, and I wouldn’t really care if anyone saw me without it.

Any man who thinks women can look like Katy Perry (or any other celebrity) without a lot of help is nuts and needs to prioritize his standards.

@YARNLADY – I just like soft. And honestly, wearing glasses is my #1 boner producer.

Ladies, this is a general question addressed to guys, so save your editorials for another occasion.

That said, OP, I would have no problem being seen with a woman who looks like Katy Perry does in that photo with no makeup (but hopefully she wouldn’t look so upset about it). I can usually find something to like about any healthy female of childbearing age—it’s biology. Makeup is really not important. Better too little than too much.

This comic by Dan Clowes might interest you. (He’s the creator of Ghost World and Art School Confidential.)

I think some people will say they like the beauties, but then go for the paint job. Not saying they are worse people for it. One thing I really like is a girl who will rarely wear much makeup, but then one time have a good make up job done (wedding day kind of stuff). It really makes for a memory and makes it special because it doesn’t happen very often. And incidentally I would still date Katy Perry, I think. She might want to get a tad more sun though.

@submariner Regardless of the request of the OP, every user has the right to answer any question posed on this site.

IMO makeup is best suited for Halloween, Mardi Gras and clowns. A women’s true beauty is in your own ability to see the inner beauty, heart and soul of that person and nothing else.

Most men don’t know if a woman has makeup on if she’s subtle.

I can’t stand make up. It makes women look like Bozo the clown (my opinion….)
