Hoh.
I hate it when women complain about how tedious and time-consuming it is to do make-up every time they go out. Honestly, it pisses me off, and it's plain bullshit that they claim that it's a man's world and that "if you want a man, you're gonna have to look pretty." Oh so? No one's holding you at gunpoint and making you put that eyeshadow on. Just admit it, you enjoy making yourselves up. And why not, I like to be pretty. But you know, I can also go to town without any make up, and oddly enough, I don't get any goggling looks from people because of that. And trust me, I don't look good enough to be "pretty" without make up.
It's all about your own attitude. I mean, I'm not exactly the most self-assured and confident person in the world now, am I? But my self esteem isn't low enough to make me let other people dictate what I should look like!
I don't know, things might be different in the high business world, but so far, all the women who I've heard whining about having to use make up, none of them were working in a profession where pretty might get you a better position. And if you're really aiming for a career like that - and I'm seriously not completely sure what sort of a career that would be - then I'm sure make up is the least of the sacrifices you're gonna have to make while climbing up the career ladder.
And what is it with the goddamned mating desire anyway?! OH MY LIFE HAS NO MEANING UNLESS I FIND A MAN! Bullshit. Why can't you be worthy on your own? Society pressure? How is it possible that people who are much more self confident and successful than I am can't say "nuts to society pressure"? Why do they want to look pretty to men so much? I mean, even smart women.
And is there less pressure for bi/lesbian women? I don't really know if I'm a rule or an exception. What about women who are already in a relationship? As far as I know, it's still hard for them to go out without make up.
And just to avoid being called a hypocrite, yeah, I wear make up. From time to time. Like I said, I like to look pretty. But I'm not doing it to look good for guys (or girls for that matter). I'm doing it for myself or simply just to look tidier. I mean, I feel better if I go to school after a bad night's sleep knowing that my black eyebags or my shiny skin is covered. And I guess I do it to boost my self confidence. I know I can look good, if I put a little effort into it. And yes, I guess that means that I care about the society pressure a bit, too. But it's like... I care about it when I want to care about it, you know? (Also, I think it's fun, to see how big the difference is. Sometimes I do it even when I'm not even about to leave the house!)
And there can be weeks in between the days I use make up for school. I do it when I feel like it. And to be honest, I rarely feel like it in the morning, when my eyes are red and sore from not enough sleep and I have five minutes left to get ready. Do I eat, or do I apply make up?
I eat.
