  Quote from Kazuni;507430:

  I don't know what it's like where you live but I have yet to see even one person with that much makeup here, and I live in a really urban area and take 2 hours of transit every school day. You'd think I'd see a lot of people.
  I like to observe what people wear/do/say on the bus, and I've see "too much makeup", but it's not even remotely CLOSE to what you're describing.
  Also I'd like to point out that "too much makeup" doesn't just mean a thick cakey layer.. I've never seen that before.. that'd just mean the girl sucks at it, or buys crappy products. I doubt I even have enough to make wrinkles on my face with makeup. I don't even see how that's possible.
  
  Have you seen any Michelle Phan videos or any other makeup gurus on youtube? That's what makeup is supposed to and intended to be like. Most of the time it's natural and enhances features instead of covering them.
  
  Obviously if they're caking on their foundation you'd be able to tell, you'd have to be half blind not to.

  
  
  But it's not just the fact that having too much makeup is physically unattractive, it's also the fact that a woman that puts on too much makeup doesn't have much self esteem, which is a turn off to a good number of men. Yes, makeup in moderation is nice, and as I said, can highlight and accentuate a woman's facial features, but when a woman feels she needs to wear makeup to be attractive, and can't leave the house without it, then (to me at least) is a large turnoff. A woman that feels confident in herself, no matter what she looks like is so much sexier than a woman that has to put on a face to be attractive, and then hides her real face when she no longer needs it.

  that's more common than I'd like to see. Media and peers don't help at all with the whole self-esteem thing, either.

  My definition of too much makeup is if the person suddenly takes it off, you think to yourself "wow D: they look different".

  On related note, while it wasn't specified, I think this list refers to a far more personal level than just "public" things. Which makes it far more understandable.

  I'm pretty much with Kaz on this... the ways a lot of guys talk about makeup really gets to me. Most of it is just a bunch of ridiculous assumptions. Like, ones who say girls who wear a lot of makeup have no self esteem... that's so ridiculous.
  
  That's like saying guys that spend a long time fixing their hair have no self esteem. What.
  
  No. People just care a lot about how they look, and if they think more looks better then they're going to do more. It doesn't mean they think less of themselves, it just means that's what they think makes them look best. That's basically what it comes down to.
  
  And well, to be perfectly honest, it's true in most cases. Only extremely pretty girls look better without makeup than they do with. Even just pretty girls look better with a little bit of makeup.
  
  Kim Kardashian is an example of a girl I think looks better without makeup.
  
  Without:

  But if you take a girl that's not all that pretty and take her makeup away, chances are higher than not, that she's going to drop a couple points on the hotness meter, and maybe more than a just few.

  My take now!
  
  1. Men just love a good layer of makeup on a woman
  Chances are, if I had to choose between loving someone with a grotesquely burned face and someone with an overly made up face, I'd go for the grotesquely burned face.
  No, I actually do feel this way.
  
  2. Men like skinny women
  Depends. If it's fit skinny, and not boney skinny, then I do love the sight. I love a more meaty body just as much though.
  
  3. Men like women with big breasts.
  It's like above. I can go crazy for small and large breasts alike. It's only about the form really.
  
  4. Men love women who are self-indulgent.
  The more depraved, the sexier. :awesome:
  But this is coming from someone who gets aroused by de Sade's writings, so...
  
  5. Men adore the scent of perfume.
  In homoeopathic doses maybe. Best bet is not to take any. Only distracts from the body scent anyway.
  
  6. Men are great fans of frilly/lacy clothing.
  In moderation yes, I find it quite adorable. And of course when it's a maid uniform/dirndl.
  
  7. Men just can’t see through a woman acting cute ["burikko"].
  I actually do find it adorable... unless they giggle at absolutely everything.
  
  8. Men don’t like women who exhibit a healthy appetite.
  Why would I care?
  
  9. Men always love young women.
  Of course! But I also love older women!
  
  10. Men don’t say “I love you” because they don’t really love you.
  No, because inflationary usage feels awkward.

  Maybe I'm just a weirdo or something but the only make-up that makes average faces seem more attractive to me is Kajal. Talking about average faces, mind you. And maybe a bit of ridiculously subtle stuff to make impurities less apparent.
  
  That also applies to above-average faces though, like here.

  Well, I'm not gonna lie.. the fact that most men think with their pen0r rather than the brain doesn't exactly help that women assume all men want is a good lay. (i.e. good looking, big breasts, make-up, etc)
  
  While stupid men aren't the only contributing factor toward women thinking this, the media always love pressuring people into stupid shizz. Now, let's see..
  
  

  1. Men just love a good layer of makeup on a woman;
  to be honest? I'm a big fan of make-up on women. I don't like too much of it, but I admire certain kinds of make-up. Especially eye/lip make-up.
  That being said, I could never really date a woman who wears too much. If it makes her happy to wear some? Good for her. If she assumes I require her to wear make-up to find her attractive, no. Not really. I just admire it.
  
  2. Men like skinny women
  I honestly don't give a sh*t unless they're healthy. I myself an underweight and I loatttthhhheee it. So no. I don't want to date a twig, though I also do not want to date a giant blob.
  
  3. Men like women with big breasts
  I actually prefer small/flat-chested girls. But it depends on how the breasts look.
  
  4. Men love women who are self-indulgent;
  It depends. I like a woman who can make her own and take what she wants, so long as it isn't in a bad way.
  
  5. Men adore the scent of perfume
  Iunno about you guys, but I /loovvvvveeee/ a good smelling perfume.
  
  6. Men are great fans of frilly/lacy clothing;
  I am. Lolita-clothing especially.
  
  7. Men just can’t see through a woman acting cute ["burikko"];
  Not too sure what this is supposed to mean. You can't con a con.
  
  8. Men don’t like women who exhibit a healthy appetite
  wat. Like, I would honestly slap a woman if she had an unhealthy appetite. Be it eating too much or too little. I'm cursed with a horrible stomach which refuses to eat properly, so I often suffer from stomach pains varying from "oh, well ouch" to "JESUS AM I GIVING BIRTH WAT". So no. I will smack you upside the head if you do not eat properly.
  
  9. Men always love young women
  I do, honestly. I'm not a big fan of dating anyone too much older. (maturity > age, though)
  
  10. Men don’t say “I love you” because they don’t really love you
  Nope. Even if I was pretending to love someone, I always said it. Though men really need to man up and get over themselves and just say it, good lord. So many people think it's manry desu not to, but it just makes you look daft.

  It's not true to assume every guy likes a girl with makeup on. Whether or not you'll ever date any, there are people that do prefer natural looks, even if it's not attractive or is just ugly in society's opinion.
  
  The guys who expressed their preferences in this thread are entitled to such, regardless of what others (especially the girls themselves) think. If they prefer no makeup, so be it. And of course not every girl who wears makeup are of the extremes aforementioned. If a girl prefers makeup to look attractive to what she believes is the majority or to someone specific... Well, here's to hoping she has the self-esteem that I respect.
  
  Yeah, there are girls who put makeup on to look attractive who have great self-esteem, like some celebrities.
  
  To me, it doesn't matter about the makeup. I've seen girls with and without makeup, and I already made up my mind.
• Adelynn wrote on 2011-07-12 03:05
  I like how this is about how women's assumptions are wrong while assuming that this is what women believe. 8D;
  
  I'll give my opinions anyway..
  

  1. Men just love a good layer of makeup on a woman.

  
  Good as in...good? I think they mean good as in heavy, in which case, I don't generally think it's attractive but there are some people who go about make-up in a pretty artful way, in which case, it can look pretty neat. Generally though, there are a lot of girls who try to go for a natural look because they don't want to look like they're trying to hard. Personally, I hate make-up in general. I don't want it on me. It just feels weird.
  
  

  2. Men like skinny women

  
  Skinny as opposed to slender? Thinner women look good. It's when they're too thin that there's a problem. I know a lot of guys who prefer the more slender women to the fuller ones, generally speaking.
  
  

  3. Men like women with big breasts

  
  A lot of guys confirm this for me, even in this forum.
  
  

  4. Men love women who are self-indulgent

  
  I thought no-one liked this, especially men. I've never known a woman that made that assumption. Am I just lucky?
  
  

  5. Men adore the scent of perfume

  
  Some do, I guess. Too much dries out my throat, and I'm guessing it's the same for some guys.
  
  

  6. Men are great fans of frilly/lacy clothing

  
  This, I have no idea...I personally prefer comfort over looks and I'm sure some guys could care less about the undies and more about how fast they can get them off their ladies. If it's underwear to have for daily lives, then why get something that looks good when it's supposed to be covered up? And if it's all about showing off to your partner, well...I'd say on occasions like that the frilly things are going to come off anyway. >_>
  
  

  7. Men just can’t see through a woman acting cute ["burikko"]

  
  Some can't, or don't care. There are women like this too, though.
  
  

  8. Men don’t like women who exhibit a healthy appetite

  
  I actually never heard a guy's opinion on this and never even thought about it...Healthy appetite doesn't mean they eat a lot, it just means they eat the right amount, so if they're trying to give this a negative connotation they should use another word..
  
  

  9. Men always love young women

  
  Some do, some don't. That's what I've always thought.
  
  

  10. Men don’t say “I love you” because they don’t really love you

  
  I always assumed men didn't say that because they were "too manly" to say it, and not for the other reason. Whatever the reason though, it's a lot better when he can outright say it. How scary can it really be? The first time should be the scariest, but after that...

  I'm gay... so... this poll doesn't effect me much...
  
  But I'll change this poll a bit for myself to answer though.. (changed the word women into men)
  
  

  
  1. Men just love a good layer of makeup on a men.
  
  Iunno about other gay guys... but guys wearing make-up is a huge turn-off for me... I don't mind picering and body jewels. I also don't mind painted finger nail long as they're black.
  
  2. Men like skinny men
  
  Skinny guys again, are a huge turn-off... I'd prefer an average-sized to small rounded guys, my f**ish includes guys wearing my shirts; I'd want them to fit into it, not look very loose/baggy.
  
  3. Men like men with big [S]breasts[/S] chest.
  
  Mmm... I do find guys with big chest decent.. not if they're man boobs, or like those body builders tho.
  
  4. Men love men who are self-indulgent.
  
  I don't mind if they're somewhat indulgent... just not too indulgent please.
  
  5. Men adore the scent of cologne.
  
  Ew... I can't stand the smell of perfume/cologne, whatever I smell them; I'd always get sick with headache, and like Zid said... my nose and thread will start to constrict a bit. So they're one of biggest turn-offs for me.
  
  6. Men are great fans of frilly/lacy clothing.
  
  I don't like guys to cross-dress, one of another huge-turn off for me. I want my boyfriend to acts and dresses like a straight guy would do. :/
  
  7. Men just can’t see through a men acting cute ["burikko"]
  
  Depends on what you would say is "cute"... if they acts all feminine then no thanks.
  
  8. Men don’t like men who exhibit a healthy appetite.
  
  I don't mind what my boyfriend would eat, but if he always eat junk food, or always eat "healthy" food, then no.
  
  9. Men always love young men
  
  I find myself attracted to older men more than I do with younger men.
  
  10. Men don’t say “I love you” because they don’t really love you.
  
  -doesn't have an answer for that one-

  Its almost scary, but a Japanese men can be seen with make up on quite frequently. And I personally mind men with painted nails more than make up. Why is it okay just because its black? Doesn't make it any cooler.
  
  Also. The cute thing.
