Why do women need makeup? Are they not pretty without it? I am amazed all the makeup women put on their face.

Run away from women who wear make up. It shows they are manipulative, kniving, selfish and shallow. Oh wait sorry thats 100% of the women.

This is why you are stuck with match.com. You do it to yourself man. Talk to a therapist, and I mean this not as an insult. I have had a lot of issues with women myself and I found getting feedback from a therapist to be quite helpful. merry christmas, mr scrooge.

There's a professor from my school that once stopped class and told a girl in the class to go put on makeup because she was distracting the class. She thought he was kidding, but he wasn't and made her go back to her dorm and put on makeup before she was allowed to return to class.

I used to think women were these beautiful creatures when I was very young; but I actually believe men are generally better looking. I am married to a woman FYI. However, when loaded with makeup, anything can look beautiful. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder....if we were all pigs then pigs would be attractive.

I never met a rasher of bacon I didn't love.

Seeing women wearing makeup generally makes me sad, it makes me think that they don't believe they're attractive enough without it, which is almost certainly not true. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the natural look. Makeup is just a scam that preys on women's feelings of insecurity.

If men and women would clean up their diets and stop stuffing disgusting, processed shit down their pieholes, they would all look a lot better. The cosmetic industry would disappear. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, get off the crap and go natural.

Egyptian men wore as much make up as women & I don't think they were eating handfuls of doritos.

You're not attractive.

I'm not sure why some women choose to cake on the make-up while others don't. I personally find heavy make-up grotesque, especially on older women.

One guy I know explained that his wife had to wear a lot of make-up because she had so many freckles, so maybe some women do have a legitimate need to cover unsightly skin flaws. I mean if you look that hideous without your Avon, then sure, go ahead and slather it on.

Makeup has a distinct purpose, it's all based on age. On older women, makeup hides wrinkles and is the equivalent of preservative. On younger women, it covers zits. If acne was skin-toned and not red, no woman would use makeup until she got really old..... like 40s and above.

What's wrong with freckles?

I think what he was calling freckles were actually blotchy brown sunspots. She does look pretty awful without the make-up.

She must look pretty scary first thing in the morning. Can't say I'd want to wake up to that mug on the pillow next to me...

I'm a 37 year old woman and have never, ever gone out in public without makeup since the age of 13. I'll be the first to admit that I look better with it, and why would I want other people to see me NOT looking my best? I have never seen a female that looks better without it, and if they do, it's because they're wearing too much. (The whole point is to be subtle and make it look like you're not wearing any.)

I look at it like this: ALL women wear make-up on their wedding day because they want to look their absolute best. Therefore, why wouldn't you want to wear at least a BIT of makeup every single day? I think that 100% of women should wear makeup, and if they don't, it's because they don't care about their appearance and THAT is sad.

This ^ is true.

On the other hand, adding "men" in as well, the same can be said of nice clothes, fancy cars, big houses, breath mints, perfume, expensive dates, high paying jobs, hair cuts, cologne, large flat screen TVs, competitive sports...

It's a sad, sad world.

You're not attractive.

You're not intelligent.

Why do you care if people see you not looking your best? Im not living my life FOR other people. I honestly couldnt give a shi& what 99% of the population thinks of my appearance. And, by the way, not ALL women wear make up on their wedding day.

Make-up doesn't hide wrinkles, it settles into creases and makes wrinkles more visible.

You sound like a horrible person.

It's like most other things - if you notice that someone's wearing makeup, they're doing it wrong. It's a subtle thing that actually does make women look better. Women wearing makeup is no more pathetic than a guy shaping his facial hair or wearing nice clothes.

Yeah,right, because you're an Adonis look alike.
