    I have been thinking if guys and gals prefered women with or without makeup because that is an essential part a beauty regime to entice and entertain.
    So is makeup as a must in a woman's look or simply too fake and disagreable to the lips when it comes to that ''heated kiss'' haha sorry I had to ask it!!!
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good

    Women wear makeup to give themselves confidence, it has very little to do with attracting men. Much will depend on facial bone structure where makeup is used to try to alter the shape of the face into a more pleasing appearance but when too much is applied it simply draws attention to whatever defects there are and it should be used sparingly and with skill to achieve the best effect.
    Personally, I think It would be nicer if women could get away without it but that isn't going to happen.

    As William Cobbett put it.

    Give me, for a beautiful sight, a neat and smart woman, heating her oven and setting in her bread! And, if the bustle does make the sign of labor glisten on her brow, where is the man that would not kiss that off, rather than lick the plaster from the cheek of a duchess?”

    Of course and I like makeup don't get me wrong it is all part of the fun and gettind dolled up is cool but not everyday though because that would just take the thrill out of it.
    The same with plastic surgery I would not go that way because I would not want a plastic look oh the horrors!!
    Too much make up on a daily basis is ageeing for the skin because skin needs to breath.
    I was only wondering if men in general or women for that matter liked or not liked kissing someone with lipstick on?!!
    I know I would not like it because it must taste horrible when it gets inside your mouth
    it may never try

    Yes it's sensible to consider the skin's breathing requirement but I was listening to a radio programme where the presenter said that she decided to go into work without makeup but passed a hall mirror on the away out and was so horrified by what she saw that she immediately turned around and went back to put makeup on.
    I have never understood why so many women choose that bright red lipstick that looks like a raspberry stuck in their face I have never mentioned it but always wanted to ask why they don't choose a muted colour. Anyhow, I never found lipstick to taste horrible but it can be quite messy when it has been over applied.

    This is quite true. My dad is 5'8" and around 220-230 pounds (medically considered obese). But his cholesterol is low, his blood pressure is low, after testing his doctors said his heart and arteries are about as healthy as can be, and when he took a stress test (that thing where you run on a tread mill and they watch your vitals) it took him forever to actually stress his body out to where they needed him to. A couple years ago he ran a half marathon, 13.1 miles, in about three hours.

    Yes, that was refreshing.

    This is an interesting thread. I like it. I don't know about you guys but I seem to be attracted to the ladies that plays hard to get.

    53% of women won't leave the house without makeup. I agree it should be used sparingly, if at all. I only use mascara and lipstick on work days and none at all on my days off. Feels great!

    My studio mate puts all of my other friends and family to shame. He is a marathon runner... professional. One of the top 100 in his age group. On a good run he'll finish the entire marathon... 26+ miles... in somewhere in the vicinity of 2 hours and 25 minutes... at age 43. Today he's hiking across the great divide in the Rocky Mountains... a trek of some several hundred miles that includes a couple of passes above 10,000 feet and one above 14,000. He'll be out in the wilderness with only that which he can carry for some 13 days. In the past he's hiked the Matterhorn, ran the Highland Trail in Scotland, and run across Death Valley. He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him.

    There is also a waist/height ratio that might be worth considering to help include the effect of heavier muscle weight. Here's a calculator for that along with a BMI (weight/height) ratio.

    Sorry, I missed this until I noticed that you had been on to post in the other thread.

    The reason men are not influenced by these images is because these images are not meant to be sexually appealing. So of course, young men are indifferent towards them.

    They are targeted towards young women, or rather groups of young women, and the message is that skinny equals success and wealth. Again it is nott sexual.
    That sounds right. Still, that's not a reflection of humanity, it's a reflection on a relatively small proportion of humanity who profiteer off of the strong insecurity of young girls. I think that humanity as a whole tends towards good.
