Effort into their appearance? I don't think putting on pounds of make up really makes you look any better. There will always be those guys that like a girl for who they are.

"Should" ? No.... women shouldn't have to do anything that they don't want.

Buuuuut... if you look like MiMi from Drew Carey Show I'm going to think you have self esteem issues, or if you look like Charlize Theron from Monster cause you didn't even splash water on your face, I'm gonna think you're a dirty slob... or if you wear super short tight skirts that show the bottom of your ass, and a tight tank top with no bra, im gonna think you're slutty.

But please, ladies... feel free to do ANYTHING your heart desires. Just don't get mad at us when we make our own judgements ;)

It's a question of intention. If she wears makeup because she has an innate urge to look better than no. However, if she sincerely doesn't have a problem with her looks, and rather, puts on make up because she wants to connect with her friends (who also wear makeup), I don't see the problem.

It's never the right intention to wear makeup in order to achieve some kind of validation. That is a bad kind of striving that will only lead to dissatisfaction and uneasiness - eventually making the person less attractive, as opposed to more.

"have to"? No.

But personally, I wear makeup. I don't see a problem with or without it.

No, but it is their choice so why you don't ask them instead of asking guys
