Girl's Appearance

*giggles*

Hey fellas, this one's for you.

They say when you see someone, a lasting judgment is made within 30 seconds. What would you like to see a girl wear on a casual night out, e.g just going for drinks. Do you think she needs to make an effort to look good all of the time? Do you think it is uneasy on the eye to see someone wearing sweatpants, stretchy and comfy clothes when they are having a bad day, when they need comfort more than anything else? Also, I know a girl who is relatively pretty and it took her 5 hours to get ready! Is that not a little unreal?

So what I'm asking is this, does a girl need to look good all of the time, we're talking full make up, co-ordinating outfit etc. All answers most welcome.

Until the next time,
*giggles*

I am female... but i believe i can help you hear

casual night out: jeans, nice top/shirt, boots/shoes, light fresh make up(blusher as well), reasonably accessorized.....

Hope that helps

Im female but imo you shouldn't always have to dress to impress. You often see fella's on a night out all dressed up and then you see them during the day and there dressed casual in a t-shirt. So it should be the same for women.
Casual i'll through on jeans and a top but going out i have no problem spending hours getting ready.
Should be up to the individual and what there comfortable in. So I don't think a girl needs to be fully done up 24/7.

I like girls with a sense of style, that doesn't mean dressing to the nines everytime you go to the shops!

Case in point:




Cute girls is cute.


As for lazy days mopeing around in the baggy trousers, its called being human- no shame in the game.

co-ordinated is allways good, no you dont allways need to look great persoanlly i prefer a girl whos got a funky style and dress in her own way... make up well meh dont really care minimal amount i think.... When i see girls who've got a paint sprayer and tide marks its pretty off putting.. i can say that about fake tan etc...

I'm female and avoid being seen in public without my make up (not of the orange variety and I don't do fake tan) but men always say they prefer women without make up. I'm not sure they understand this fully though. I had a boyfriend once who thought I didn't wear any make up. I was shocked because I wear eyeliner and mascara as well as foundation and bronzer every day. The "natural look" I wear isn't as natural as it might look.

I love Zooey Deschanel! She really is cute. She could probably wear / look like anything and I'd still love her. Same with Shannyn Sossamon, another funky / beautiful girl.

Anyway, I personally like the distinction between the "night out" look, and the "ordinary day" look. Just because the night look involves more make up, different clothes etc, it doesn't mean the day look doesn't itself look good. Personally I'd prefer it if my other half didn't spend the morning getting ready if we were just going down the shops (which she doesn't), but I think its perfectly justified for her to take her time getting ready if we are going out. Neither of us would leave the house in slobbo tracksuit bottoms etc. In fact, we don't even wear that IN the house!

As I guy, I'll make the effort on a night out too, but obviously on a more basic level - I have jeans and a few shirts or t shirts I'd "save" to wear on a night out, but I could also wear them during the day and they wouldn't look that out of place. I might have a shave, definitely shave my hair, spruce up a little bit, make sure I look good from head to toe.

I think if a girl is going for a casual few drinks, what make up / style she wears depends on where she is going. If its a local, nothing special, she can wear whatever she likes. But if its somewhere fancy in town, she will probably want to put on more make up, dress up a bit, as she will feel frumpy in her baggy jeans next to whatever stick-insects-in-tiny-tops happen to frequent the bar. If she doesn't let that kind of thing bother her, then let her wear what she wants. Sometimes i've seen really gorgeous girls who haven't bothered dressing up and they've still looked fantastic. And I've also seen more... "unattractive" girls who've spent ages dressing up and it doesn't do it for me. So true beauty and natural style will win through every time I think.

Another girl, but I admit that I am well past my dating days, though I still like to look well. From experience some men like girls to look like girls (asking the hubby here too), not too much if any cleavage, reasonable length dress (aka 2-3 in above the knee max.), little to no makeup (lipstick). I still get eyed up but flash my engagement and wedding ring promptly!

Have to agree with you on this. I think men like women to look good without looking like they've put too much effort in.
From experience I've found that going out looking like something off the catwalk can actually put men off. Now i don't mean that to sound like I'm gorgeous or anything but you know what I mean, killer dress, full make up, sky high heels etc...

I personally think men like girls who look approachable & most important of all is personality. I know it sounds like a cliche but it's true.

A lot of girls I know that go out with full battle armour on are usually the ones that get little or no attention. It doesn't help that they stand in a pub or club acting like they're too good to be there.

ok just done a quick poll of my friends on msn and they all seem to say that they prefer girls who look comfortable in what they are wearing, not a mad amount of make-up and not too much on show.

(im a girl btw, asked a few male friends)

Confidence in yourself and in what you're wearing makes you look good IMO.

Less make-up the better, i hate the stuff. I don't want to smell dirty chemicals when im kissing my girl, skin has a beautiful texture and smell, why cover that up with a blob of ****?

I'm not much of a fashionista myself. I tend to dislike people who dress themselves in river islands latest. If a girl dresses in a way that stresses her individualism, uses a clever mix of colours and textures and is brave enough to go against the grain, then i wont be able to take my eyes off her;) You can achieve al that without being "fashionable" i feel though, but lets not go there...

So yea to answer your question, i went out with a girl who was very un-comfortable not being dolled up and it was a MAJOR turn off. Guys (and girls) are attracted to confident people, if you can compliment your body size and skin complexion with a tracksuit then thats just as sexy as some umpa lumpa wobbling down the road in high heels dressed to "impress".

Impress who? huh....

Oh i have a willy by the way...mans comment

well like, i've seen you post on PI and you said you were like 13.

so this is just ghey.
just wear whatever the fcuk you want like.

god. i hate the age you're at.

shezzie

for me i dress for the occasion iam going too - a few drinks would be a tshirt and a smart top with just a little lippy

i dont like women who dress up for every occasion - give the lad something to lookward too

if going into town i do dress up again pending where i am going i only put a light foundation a little eye make up natural colours and lippy - too much makeup caked on really is not attractive -

and less is not always more showing of the bits is a turn of to most guys while its great when they first meet ya its a turnoff quickly as they dont need their mated ogling the girlfriend - thats my experience of what my male friends tell me when they are out on the prowl-

you have to know how to dress for all occasions - dress appropriately

i like to look well but over doing it doesnt make you look better if the occasion doesnt call for major make up and dress up you simply look out of place--

Heisenberg.

I think some guys like a bit of both. My bf does anyway! He thinks I look really sexy dressed up if we're going out for dinner, but equally likes me wearing jeans and a t shirt with little or no make up on Variety is the spice of life!

IpreDictDeatH

Whats attractive about make-up? It smells like S**t and feels all wrong.

I always feel that a girl who dresses up all the time (As in make up, hair perfect, dresses, heels etc.) just look like thet're over compensating for something and a bit pathetic. Jeans, t-shirt, nice checked shirt, pastel sweater, ankle boots, plain trousers (not massive baggy ones), plain shirt, short jacket, mid lenght overcoat. Any out of that would be nice. Avoid "tops". They're usually polyester sacks with naff designs and look a bit over the top. And an awful lot of tops seem to reveal alot of cleavage and armpit/side boob.
And makeup should be minimal. Amazes me how one company can sell you what is basically coloured grease and and then sell another product to unblock pore and leave shin clear and smooth. Surely avoiding product one would negate product two? For casual drinks, surely lipstick and maybe mascara is enough?

Ok a blokes perspective..

I have to say that i'm a sucker for a girl who is classily dressed, with just the right amount of makeup (you'd barely notice) a nice dress and heels and gorgeous long blonde hair.

The caveat is that it doesn't need to be this way all the time.

I like girls who make an effort, whether thats making an effort at night - OR making an effort at the casual look during the day.

Either should take no more than 1 hour to get together as we've got places to go and I can't stand hanging around for 2 hours while ANYONE gets ready, girl or guy!

In terms of during the day, again minimal makeup, maybe hair straightened, and a nice pastel top and jeans is a nice look, no need to go over the top..

Put simply - be comfortable in your own skin!

Are there really women who spend 5 hours getting ready for big night out? What could they possibly be doing in all that time? Doesn't the law of diminishing returns kick in at some point? I didn't even spend close to that amount of time getting ready for my wedding! (I am a a woman btw)
