You know what they say though. You never know when you are going to meet the man of your dreams or a hot guy. Murphy's law says it will happen when you run down the street to the mom and pop mart looking all slobby. I believe in arming myself with my WMBs...weapons of mass beauty.

Yeah, well, my life isn't consumed with trying to find a man, so I'll take my chances.

but... I'm convinced that even when guys say "i want a girl who doesn't spend so much money and effort on her looks" HAD the chance to be with a girl like that (less makeup, all of the less effort), they wouldn't take it. I'd be a pretty good example of that scenario. Guys want their girls to look good, and to keep up with the oversexualization of our culture (what guys see in the media), they have always look better and better.

Lots of guysin the west say they like women who don't wear lots of makeup, but women know the first time they come to work without any, they'll be asked if they're feeling okay at least 5 times

Bottom line guys, most adult women don't get out of bed wondering how they can lure a man. Specific guys might be that important to specific chicks but across the board, nope. Sorry to burst those egos.

I admit, I do the whole skirts, heels and makeup thing, and I like it. The ritual of it all eases me into the day(or night) and when I figure I look okay I feel more confident. That said, I'm not about to risk my ankles wearing stilettos on an icy day, or put on full makeup when running out to get a carton of milk. At the gym? If you're not working hard enough to melt it off, why bother going?

to the guys who say we judge you the same way? not quite. I'll be the first to say I enjoy pleasant scenery as much as the next person, but it's not nearly as big a factor in deciding who to date as it seems to be for some of the guys on here

I am not a Polly Prissy Pants or Princess who has to dress up all the time to feel good about myself. I'm athletic and strong and some men seem to find that quite sexy.

When I do dress up, I dress up for a reason. I also find the reaction to be quite interesting. Let's face it, if I dressed up every day the only direction the reaction would go is down. It just becomes a regular expected thing that isn't so exciting. On a side note, think about how an incredibly sexy woman like Holly Berry can be cheated on. Beautiful woman, but if you see that all the time, it seems to lose its sparkle....anyway....back to the topic on hand....

So, I dress nice but not all dolled up but when I DO dress up, the compliments just roll in. It's nice to be noticed but I suppose I want to choose when that happens. Maybe I'm just a subtle control freak or a great public relations person but I feel as though it serves its purpose. I know other people are aware that I'm sexy and I also know I'm around people who don't expect me to pretend in order to impress them....

Why do women put so much effort into being sexy? Because society taught us to do so.

When we are young, did we get to run outside, skin our knees and eat dirt?

When we were young, did we get to play football and basketball and get complimented for our talent and drive?

When we were young, did we fight with other kids and get complimented on how tough or independent we are?

Or did we get compliments such as "Oh! She's so pretty!" or "What a beautiful child!" If those are the types of compliments (and perhaps the only type of compliments) you get for the first 5, 6, 7 years of your life, is it a surprise that in 10 years you are STILL trying to get those same reactions in the most efficient way you can (short of walking around naked for all to see)?
