Now here’s a question. I was out with mom to buy lunch when I heard a couple of DJs on some station discussed about this particular topic. I personally answer a simple and firm, yes. I am not being sexually biased nor am I putting all the blame on men but it’s just a thought or more like a logic to this. Ok, let’s do an equation.
Psychologically, we know that physical attraction is first, putting aside the “it’s what inside that counts,” ok? Now, physically, you may short, tall, plum, skimpy skinny, extra baggage, muscular, short legs, long hands, extra fingers and etc. But, here’s the thing; it doesn’t matter what your physical characters are like, it matters when you will try to look good anyway; clothes & make-up illusion.
Physical attraction + yourself + science for beauty + what men think = pressure
Ladies, I know how you feel because I am one too. However, I personally say we women do get pressure by men, consciously or unconsciously. We buy nice, cheap/expansive clothes and make-up, we go facial treatment, we go to gym, we treat and pamper ourselves despite the many reasons like depression and such. We go into Forever 21 and get ourselves a nice cardigan, we go into Aldo to get a new pair of chic leather suede boots, we go into Bonia to get an in-style handbag for the season and we go into Lence to get a nice short dress. Next we go into Bobbi Brown to get a new set of eye shadows, we go into M.A.C to get a new mascara, we go into Shiseido to get a new colour of lip gloss and we go into Elizabeth Arden to get a new compact powder.
Women initially look good for men. To impress men. Some would even go to the extent of going under the knife. I realised this topic may be sensitive and I may sound gender biased but let us focus on the women in this page. Some women may have gone through a roller coaster depression after rejection. Now, she has two choices; get really depressed in front of the television with bags of chips and carbonated drinks/beer OR she gets back up and fix herself head to toe. That is when the lots of shopping and pampering comes in.
Certain men would say that women should keep it natural; I agree but they say it is unneeded for make-up; not quite. The general definition for make-up is those blusher, foundation and eye shadow thick sorta thing. I don’t mean that. Make-up is pretty much like lip gloss and a little liquid eye liner; simple and chic. Men, don’t get the wrong idea that a concealer hides everything, not her character but just a few zits or scars. She might be ashamed of it so let her feel good with the concealer. We’re not hiding anything from you, it’s just that we would like to look more presentable.
It’s ironic. Men complain that women take time to get ready but certain of them don’t give a second look to the physically unattractive one. Yes, you have a type so do we. And men complain that we wear make-up and many facial treatment but yet they don’t realise that it’s partly to impress them too. Women take at least an hour to get ready, to look nice and presentable so, you’re the one who she looks pretty for. So, don’t whine when she might takes hours to get ready.
I am not saying that we should forget about matters of the heart but don’t deny that you’d look for the outside first anyway.
