They'd be awesome to just have on the side as a conversation piece.
"Your vibe is looking at me..."
"Your vibe is looking at me..."
probably id ask why or how they got into games in the first place...i mean yeah games used to be kind of a guy thing and girls would just laugh at us guys because we are kind of wasting our own time...like right now for instance
lol. but srsly. It's a matter of opinion, of course, but I disagree. And so what if they did look better in someone's opinion if they wore make up? Surely it's about how they feel they look good. And I wish to note that the same applies to men. It's got nothing to do with being a woman, really.Mazty said:
Your "usually" differs from my experience but I think it's all the same. Any reason not to wear make up is a good one in my book. Even if they did look better with make up. As long as the reason isn't that they're aggressive man-haters.Mazty said:
Well, obviously, if they want to wear make up, they can. I'm all for people feeling good about themselves. But I think it's rather rude to assume people who don't wear any have low self esteem or that if they do, that's the reason.Mazty said:
But what do I know.
What was the point to the question then? You may as well of asked "Hey girl gamers do you eat hamburgers?"
Probably because it is, to be fair.Mazty said:
Although it'd basically depend on how the advice was given. "You'd look nice with some mascara" would go down a lot better than basically being told that in order to look good and look like I'm self confident I should behave in a way you think is appropriate.
I find some women very good looking even though they don't wear make-up. These women tend to have very high self esteem, they don't feel any need to wear make-up. I'm talking about intelligent, educated adults here, so I can't really blame them for acting in a way that quite apparently they are comfortable with.Mazty said:
Whether or not you find a girl more attractive because they wear make-up isn't a reason to expect them to do so. I'm not saying people shouldn't try to look good if they want to. If you think wearing make-up could make you feel better about yourself, go for it!
Not all people aim to please other people in terms of looks and some people actually think they look good enough the way they do. Arguing differently only comes off as arrogant and few people are likely to take the advice seriously.
If people indeed are insecure about something, I can understand how people would feel slightly offended if you commented on their car needing polishing or that they have stupid clothes. To me it's just basic human courtesy to not say anything bad about other people's looks to their face. It's an entirely different matter if they ask for an honest opinion, but most people don't. As immature as you may think it is, a girl once said to me, in reply to me telling her I was going to the gym, "don't hurt yourself, I'm sure it's been a while". I certainly took offense in that and pretty much lost any interest in seeing her again. Would I have better self esteem if I was absolutely ripped? Maybe. The point is, I shouldn't need to be ripped just so that other people wouldn't tell me to get ripped. There's little point in insulting people for the way they look. Any semi-intelligent being can make the decision for themselves as to how much effort they want to put into how they look for the sake of pleasing others.
