Answer 1

Don't wear make-up. It's better for your skin if you don't. Personally, I'd tell you this: Why don't you ask yourself what YOU want in a guy instead of worrying about what they want? ^__^ Be who you are, naturally. Look for someone who is what you want, naturally. Then you'll be together... naturally. ;)

But really... don't worry about the girls who are no prettier than you and just slather on the makeup. Mini-skirts, I can't talk there. I sure wore them in high school, but hey. Just be yourself. The right guy will appreciate that. I know right now it sounds cliche, but it's true. You'll see that in time. Someday you'll find a guy who LOVES the fact that you don't obsess about make-up and love baseball games. =)

An aside: To the *boy* above who said something about girls who wear mini-skirts having sex with everyone, you really shouldn't over-generalize like that. You'll learn though. But I know when I was in high school I dressed in lots of skirts, etc... because I like fashion. But I was a virgin until I was almost 20. So try not to make such blanket assumptions.

Depends one what you are wanting. If you are only looking for dates and don't care why the guy ask you then you should doll up to use a very old term.

A lot of why a guy will ask depends on your appearing to be open to it. If you are friendly and let it be known you like guys they will ask you out regardless of your makeup or short skirts.

Makeup and short skirts can back fire on you. It makes you look like you are on the hunt and will take all comers, so to speak.
You do NOT want to look cheap even if it does get you more dates. They will be all the wrong guys and sooner or later you will pay for it.

Be yourself, and if you need anything to help you get more dates just be a bit more open and friendly.

Believe it or not most guys have a real hard time asking pretty girls out because the are afraid of rejection. But if they know you may not do that they will ask.

Watch those girls that get ask. How are they showing the boys they are interested beside the fake stuff? You may be surprised,

I know. If the guy hit the girl first it is terrible, beat his butt. If the girl hit the guy first....eh. It really does all stem back to the whole men being bigger,stronger,tougher,whatever. But. If people did not notice yet, looks are very deceiving. The girl could be a ninja assassin for god's sake and trying to slice the poor guy in half but everyone is like...don't hit her!!! I am really sorry about the double standard fellas, I really am.I did not make them. I am a female too and unfortunately fought some boys before. I am not proud of it at all because they were not fast at all. They hit hard. Yes. But they were not able to grab me. They also started it, I never start anything with anyone and feel like you should defend yourself against anyone willing to violate your personal space.OR get some friends of the same gender as your attacker and have them kick their butt for you. That is what I did when other incidents like that happened. You do not have to stoop to their level either.

Answer 4

Sure it's great to tell someone to be "yourself" but if being yourself isn't getting you where you want to be in life or getting you what you want out of life then maybe you need to rethink who "yourself" is. If all the guys you're interested like a certain type of girl and you're having a hard time getting them to like you as you are you have two options. Either change the type of guy you're looking for which means you may have to decrease your personal standards of what you look for in a guy or you need to change yourself into more of what those guys seem to be attracted to. You can wear some makeup and buy different clothes and still be a good person and essentially just the same as before. Modifying how you look doesn't change who you are. If you need to make a few changes to your appearance to be happy and get the guys you're interested in to pay attention to you then I suggest you go for it.

I wish you the best of luck!

Great question!

Answer 5

It is so cool to see a woman ( I guess girl is appropriate ) that doesn't have makeup on. It means she has self confidence. Most females don't know how to wear makeup anyway. As for following trends, forget the low rise crap - only about one female in 50 can do it attractively. Since when is it cool to show flab and poor physical fitness? No guy, and I mean NO GUY, wants to see all that stuff hanging out. The low rise trend was invented so chicks could show off the oh-so-boring tats on their lower back, and no one does that anymore.

Answer 6

I have always been amused by women who slap green/blue eyeshadow, buckets of rouge, etc. to achieve a "natural" look! I appreciate women who don't require such. Having said that, token amounts of some makeup (NOT heavy pancake or like that) can sometimes help to highlight certain features. What you might consdier is to treat yourself to a visit with a beauty consultant, to see what would be a good minimalist approach. This wouldn't even need to be for everyday, just special occasions. Otherwise, enjoy the Sox!

Answer 7

I'd rather have a pretty girl that doesn't wear makeup. Makeup just looks so damn face and only belongs on girls with low self-esteem. A mini skirt just shows that a girl is willing to have sex with a lot more random people.

Answer 8

You know what I think it is...the issue here is quantity vs. quality. Girls that dress to get attention are going to get just that: lots of attention from lots of guys, because, well, that's the way guys are, no matter what everyone says here about being natural and yourself and all that. HOWEVER there will be guys, those special ones, who will be very attracted to YOU for who you are and love you for it. The question is, can you be alone and just be happy being you til they come along and find you? Or would you rather be out on dates having fun and all that til the "right one" comes along? I'm being serious here, not saying you should change or anything. Just suggesting things to consider. Its like anything in life, you just have to know what you want, and take steps to get it.

Answer 9

Honey...be yourself!!!! Remember that the makeup comes off and you're what you have left. I'm a married woman now, but I still don't wear makeup and hubby's not complaining. He would like to see me in a mini skirt tho. Most guys like legs. You can be yourself and you'll meet guys who like and respect you for who you are. You said you like you, right? Why wouldn't a guy like you, too? Be who you're comfortable being....you. Those preppy b's only get the guys who are like them...just in male form. ;)

Answer 10

Do you really want a guy that wants you to be something you're not?
Yes, there are a lot of guys out there that prefer "natural down to Earth" girls. I personally prefer a girl who is naturally attractive. At your age the guys are interested more in the pretty package than the contents. Just relax continue to be yourself and don't worry about it. The more you worry about it the more desperate you might sound, and nobody likes that.
He's out there. Just give him time to find ya.
