  • Don't ask a childless woman why she hasn't got kids.
    Not all women can have kids. She may have had failed IVF and lots of heart ache.
    Men don't keep getting asked why they don't have kids.

    women always look better with makeup on

    I disagree. My teen DD looks so much prettier without make up, I'm in my forties and make up just enhances wrinkles, and my mums in her seventies and her skin looks lovely without make up.

    Make up is never flawless, especially foundation.
    Never again will the wolf get so close to my door :eek:

    So although I agree that some women look OK without make up, and sometimes quite nice; I do think it's hard to deny that women look better with make up on. They do.
    Completely disagree. I know which women I've definitely seen without make up, some I've been in relationships with, some are friends. All look nicer IMO without. None believed me when I said as much.

    Have to say also that I am always very suspicious of a man who tells his wife/girlfriend that she looks better without make up. The vast majority of women do look better - if not all women - so why do men say this? :huh:

    I find this odd, you state it as fact that women look better with make up. I will state as fact that I find the opposite, and at a very basic level that means I find their appearance more sexually attractive without. Why is this suspicious? I believe I'm genetically designed to prefer women in their natural appearance, rather than in the form the cosmetics industry tells us they are "supposed" to have.

    Obviously it's nice for me if a girlfriend makes herself up (or in my case goes without) in a way appealling to me, but if she doesn't feel good about herself like that then there's no point - I'd rather she was happy!
