Do you really think any girl would admit that they do it for men? Well I certainly don't :D. Ok, maybe once, but the guy was well worth the attention. I coulda spent hrs priming myself to look great, but my general laziness and life's little lousiness got in the way.
Besides, a wow from a fashionable girl is more reassuring than from a guy (they're hard wired to do this to every other girl)
I primarily dress up and primp for myself because it gives me a confidence boost and it's one less thing for me to fret over. If I'm well put together in terms of my clothes and hair (make-up is maybe a weekend thing when I'm going out with friends), then I stop thinking about how I look through the day.
Sure when I go out, I want whoever I am with to think I look good - but that whoever could be a guy or a girl. I guess, the better question is, why would I want to look bad in front of someone?
i think male-female interactions/behaviors in nature are superduper interesting and same goes for us humans. And its ok for women to be “feminine” (in a very natural sense, not annoying girly girls) and men to be whatever they are yea ok i dunno where im going with this.
PCG: STA thinks that several factor are involved in overall attraction while beauty is one of the minor factor(unfortunately some guy consider it the one and only factor). A girl is mostly attracted by his nice nature, love and affection, sincerity, faithfulness, flexibility, and open mind. STA also recognizes the right self improvement, so in that regard every gal should be dolled up for her future(in a modest manner)/current(skies are not the limits) husband.
Just cos a guy knows that I'm wearing a Mac lipstick in shade 'Troublemaker' and Benefit Coralista blusher, doesn't mean he's gay.
Right?
I coulda trained him to recognise all the make up I'm wearing?
Whatever helps you get through the samosa date
Effort and grooming has a big effect on attractiveness. This applies to men and women. I'm not talking about layering on a pound of make up or anything, just basic grooming.
I think prettiness comes from how u feel about yourself. If you feel good, you will carry yourself well.
And oh, women please stop saying u dress up just for yourself. Jhoot bol-ing :nono:. We do care [maybe a lil bit] about how others see us. It’s humin nature.
^YESSSSS. if you feel pretty, you will be pretty. sach.
and as nikky said, stop this “i do it for myself” BS I do it because it makes me comfortable in other people’s company, im conscious of my appearance–meaning i care about how people think i look.
How much $, time, and effort do you put in to making yourself look boooootttiiiiful, so the opposite sex sits up and takes notice?
I'm just curious. Cuz I don't think the guys really realize or appreciate this.
(As the boys will peak in every life1 thread to get their daily high, I figured this was much needed)
I want Allah to notice that I'm making an effort to please Him... so the amount of mehnat I do in dressing up depends on who I'll be interacting with, and where.
I don't and won't ever dress-up for myself, I don't spend money on 'looking good' for the opposite sex either but I believe in being well groomed all the time.

Agreed totally!! Men notice if you have hairy arms, legs or dark bushy eyebrows. They notice if your face is full of zits (it goes for both genders). If your hair are oily and dandruff is showing. You get the idea.
Men however don’t care if you are wearing tons of expensive makeup. Actually heavy makeup is something that men generally don’t like.

You forgot to mention your years of research on cavemen and flintstones.
