Fake girls Vs Girl Next Door?

    I have a friend who I go for nights out with. Now this girl is one of my best friends but she really dolls herself up, covers herself in fake tan, wears big fake eyelashes, bright pink lipstick, thick hair extensions. I think she looks good, but fake. She always looks attractive and never trashy and has a gorgeous slim figure. She's your typical D4 head. She looks just like the pic of Jordan below (her makeup is exactly like hers in this pic) but she doesnt dress like that!!

    Me on the other hand, im more a girl-next-door type. I wear bronzer but no fake tan. I dont wear fake eye lashes. My lipstick is subtle and my hair is natural. I dress nicely but not too over the top. On a night out my typical look is like Lauren Conrad in the picture below (girl on left).

    Anyway, Ive noticed a lot of the time when we go out a lot of attention is drawn to us. I find that men will chat to me but are mostly drawn to her. When it comes to choosing they not always, but usually, pick her.

    So anyway, I just want to know why guys in general seem more attracted to the fake type. And out of interest, if you came across 2 girls like in the pics below, who would you seem more drawn to? I choose these pics because they are the closest comparison to the type of girls i am describing.

    also im not sure if i have chosen the right forum for this, please move if i havent.

    It depends. Do you roide on a first date?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    They all seem fake.

    I can't stand a girl that wears 2 inches of makeup

    If you look like Lauren Conrad, I suppose I'd give ya a lash though

    girls next door tend to be more suprising...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,743 ✭✭✭funk-you


    Girls like that are like glow sticks at a rave, great fun on the night but nackered and useless the next day.

    Fake girl next door ftw.

    Girl next door. Every time.

    Got to worry about someone attracted to fake-i-ness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,257 ✭✭✭SoupyNorman


    In my experience, the girl next door is more liable to do teh anal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I think your mate should find herself some new friends. Her current ones seem like judgmental sleeveens.

    Girl Next Door

    They spot the Jordan-alike first because of all the bright colours and sparkly things make them look like a clown.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Girl Next Door - the other type just looks like trash.
    They might not be in reality - but they sure look like it.

    "Girl Next Door" or more natural look definately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 96 ✭✭PJW


    Without real pictures of you and your girlfriend its hard to make any comparsions, your idea of fake / girl next door could be way off, for all we know both of you could be complete mingers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭Hasmunch


    Girl next door = girlfriend material
    Trashy look = Dirty roide

    the girl next door...
    cause i cant afford the taxi fare what with the recession


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    Let's simplify the original question:
    "Who would you rather shag: Katie Price or Lauren Conrad?"

    Me: Lauren Conrad - based on those pics anyway.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    Girl next door types always. Fake girls are usually c*nts.
    Also, pm'd raindrops_21 for date and a ride :D

    Agreed. This isn't a "please post pics" plea. I just find it hard to believe that either of you are at the extreme you describe. There are a million reasons why someone could attract more attention than someone else. You're going to have to puzzle this one out for yourself OP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Men are hypocrites. As much as they say they love the "girl next door" look, 9 times out of 10 they'll be all over the dolled up one, even if the "girl next door" type is as good or better looking without the makeup or the outfits.

    Just need to pay attention in a pub or club to see that.

    I disagree, a certain type of bloke maybe,

    much in the same way as a certain type of women go for absolute scumbags

    LOL I love the way you are removing yourself from your friend and the "Jordans" of this world because in your defence you're only less of a fraud than her.

    And FYI I'd consider a typical D4 head to look like the pair in picture2 (ie like YOU). If you friend looks like Jordan than she's just a freak but at least she's taken the process to its natural conclusion.

    I consider the girl-next-door to be just that ie "next door". In reading a book or trying a new recipe perhaps, not out wearing her 'bronzer', worrying why this type seems more attractive than that type and all the while trying to delude herself into thinking she's not a poser just like the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Why does she pile so much fake makeup on? Is she insecure about her looks? If so, some a**holes may pick up on this insecurity, and go for her for the easy option.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    that amount of make up on Jordan is just silly. Irish/UK girls wear far too much makeup, visiting girls to Ireland pointed this out to me i always thought it was normal till i went to France, Germany etc.
    But at the end of the day we're men and we'll hump whatever we can get.

    All things being equal, I'll always go for the girl next door. The layers-of-makeup look is highly unappealing (and somewhat laughable if not done correctly), and I've nearly always found the girl next door type to be far friendlier and more down to earth.

    As for those who say that guys prefer the dolled-up look: I reckon they don't really prefer it aesthetically, and that they only approach those women because they reckon that they're an easier lay - that they're dressed to be out on the pull.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    The amount of attention you get from Irish men on a night out is directly proportional to the amount of work it looks like it would take to get you to remove your pants. Simple as.

    IIRC, you posted your fair share of goth girls in the now locked pic thread in the Noc Forum.....

    Or by "fake" do you mean "fake, for a given value of fake"? :)


    If I'm in a club, the girls I'll be looking at will be the "fake" type. They stand out and are more exciting at a first glance.

    If there was a thread called "Girl next door pics" I wouldn't be posting pics of goths in it now, would I? The "given value of fake" is given in the first post. Betwixt those two, I would go girl next door, every time.

    And you've never met any of the girls I've dated/ done, thank you very much. :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Alright, let's see.

    If you walked into a club and saw two identical twin girls, one with makeup looking like this (although slightly less shiny), and one without makeup looking like this, which would you pick?

    Used pics of Adriana Lima to take out the comparison of two different hot chicks.

    She's obviously a stunner no matter what you do to her, but I reckon an awful lot more men in the real world would choose #1 over #2, regardless of what men are saying here.

    *serious hat* Is there not a good point there though?

    Is it the fakeness you are attracted to? Or are you simply not just seeing them first?
