Like you (generic term) would anyway? 😞
Would you rather get a present that is wrapped up and has a pretty bow on it, or would you just as soon have somebody hand it to you in a shopping bag?

Originally posted by NordlysAmen. But I'm guessing this works both ways, right? Men dress in nice shirts or sweaters and slacks as often as they want to see women in make-up?

Originally posted by arrakisIt can be. But that's not relevant for the question whether women (or men for that matter) should wear make-up. Women are not wrapped or unwrapped gifts.

Originally posted by NordlysI have to disagree with your assessment. The whole point is: Are people more attracted to a package that is presented nicely? I think they are.

Women (and men) who don't want to spend the extra time to make themselves appealing to the opposite sex either do not understand human sexuality or don't want it. In your case, as a person who claims to be asexual, you aren't interested.
Guess what? Your beliefs are shared by a very small percent of the population. With that in mind, I don't think you can give any meaningful advice to anyone, male or female.

Originally posted by arrakisI know very well that most people aren't asexual, and that sexual people are interested in making themselves attractive to potential partners. But I doubt there are many people who would like to be seen as a package or a gift. Would you? I also know for sure that there are many people who prefer natural looks or little make-up over heavy make-up, as they rather want to see the person than the "wrapping". The main purpose of the wrapping of a present, as I see it, is the suspense, the excitement of not knowing what you'll get until you have unwrapped it. If I meet a person, on the other hand, I don't want them to hide who they are, and I don't think I am alone about that.

OK, I just want to make sure I get this. If I put on make-up (which makes my face feel dirty and slimy) and wear skirts and stockings, which are very uncomfortable, I will draw the attention of males and they will suddenly find me attractive, no matter what my face actually looks like? (Make-up can only do so much, you know.) Then what? Will it attract a man who is willing to be just as physically uncomfortable as I am for the sake of a possible relationship? Or is this a one-way street?
Just trying to learn!

Oh, and of course it's a one-way street. That's because men are persons, while women are parcels. Or apples. 😉
