Take a good look at your fingernails, does using fingernail polish make them look sexy? Natural is the best way for a girl's nails to be. I wouldn't trally want to be seen with a girl who uses that stuff, plus lipstick (what in the world would they use this for?), too much makeup is old-fashioned. Splashing themselves with perfume is another thing I don't like. Some call it toilet water. Who uses water from the toilet?

Well Zorro, you sound like you like a more natural look in a woman. Usually men complain about naturalness-especially professionals; if you don't wear some makeup and nail grooming you are perceived as not caring about your appearance. The trend today seems to be moving towards a more artificial look and that is becoming the accepted norm. Plus- 'toilet water' or eau de toilette is just a term used by the fragrance industry to denote the amount of fragrance oils contained in the scent. The more oils the higher the cost.

People call it "toilet water" because they're stupid rednecks. Eau de toilette is what these rednecks are referring to when they say "toilet water".
Eau de toilette is one of many French terms used in the perfumery world that determines the ratio of perfumed oils, alcohol and water percentages that make up the ingredients used in making perfumes.
Here's a guide that'll educate you and your friends a little better where perfumes are concerned:
Eau Fraiche (Usually 3% or less perfume oil)
Eau de cologne (2 - 5% perfume oil)
Eau de toilette (4 - 10% perfume oil)
Eau de parfum (8 - 15% perfume oil)
Soie de Parfum (15 - 18% perfume oil)
PARFUM (15 - 25% -- also sometimes referred to as Extract or Extrait)
Perfume oil (15-30% perfume oil in an oil rather than alcohol base)

You don't like a LOT of things but who gives a flying ****? I take offense to a question like this. I wear fingernail polish and it makes my hands look feminine and delicate. I also wear perfume. It enhances whatever mood I'm in and I see no problem with smelling good. You sound like you live in the backwoods or up in the mountains.

You have your preference, and that's cool. There are alot of pretty girls out there that don't wear nail polish, or lipstick, or perfume. But some dudes do go for the stuff. And alot of girls dress up for themselves, and not for other guys.

Different men prefer different things. Just because you don't like nail polish and perfume on women, doesn't mean that every other man in the world doesn't like it either.
I, personally, don't paint my nails, but if my bf told me he wanted me to I would, because I know it would make him happy. If you don't want to date a girl who wears a lot of make-up, then don't. Simple as that.

Hahahaha ....!!!! Zoro, this is probably a cultural issue. Maybe you would like to take a look a my webpage on 'nail-polish'? Check out:

Sometimes people paint their nails a color that will match their clothes, but others tend to paint their nails to match what color they think represents their mood.
Best wishes from the Netherlands!

You are probably in the minority. Most guys seem to like the "fake" look. They like girls with too much make up, fake finger nails, big boobs, tans (which are usually paid for) and blonde hair (also usually paid for). I guess those of us who do some of those things are trying to keep up or something and not be the ugly chic. However I kinda like the natural look myself. Damn those magazines!

well, the fingernail/toenail polish makes them look more outgoing, i guess. i do french tips on my toenails, and it looks really nice. and gold for my nailpolish, it looks awesome and i always get complements or people just don't notice them. it looks good sometimes. hope this helps. =)

So, you like the "natural look" do you? Why in your previous question did you criticise girls for not shaving under their arms then?
Somewhat contradictory methinks!
