Why do some women go to a swim party/BBQ and culr their hair and wear makeup?

Question

I went to one this weekend and I put my hair in a pony tail and wore no makeup and I swam and played in the pool most of the day
I had a blast, they didn't even get wet, ♥j

Answer 1

Great question.I have no idea.I am not one of those women.

Answer 2

I did all that to make a nice entrance. In my day we did that. Not to many people had pools then, so it was at the lake, river, or nearby also was the Gulf. We wound up letting our hair down and we had fun. It was all about the entrance.

You went to have fun, in the pool, & with your hair pulled back in a pony tail you where prepared to do just that.
Every girl doesn't feel good enough about themselves wet to jump in and have fun. Their preference is socializing & I am sure some may have a more personal reason. I hope everyone had fun. I love get togethers like that. God bless the parents that sponser them.

God bless you & God bless everyone~~jill

Oh GOD I can't stand women like that. It drives me crazy. You see them all the time at the beach or pool. They sit there MELTING but don't go in the water and then they look at you like they want to chew you up and spit you out.

If they do go in, it's to splash some water on their ankles. What's the point? Frankly if you're good looking, you'll look good wet or dry, and more likely WET!

I used to go to my MIL's trailer park and there were women there who just would not dare get wet under any circumstances ever...during horrid heat waves they'd sit on the beach for hours and never touch the water! And sorry, it just isn't worth "wanting to look good"...for who? Someone else's husband? Not a pick up place that's for sure.

I on the other hand am like you, and am usually the one splashing around with three kids hanging off my neck or lying there with a couple of floaties drifting off with the tide.

I could never live in places like Hollywood or by the boardwalks where people just parade around like beacons of vanity needing affirmation by others to justify themselves. What a waste of a life.

Answer 4

I would be one of those. I am heavier than most young ladies, not fat, but heavy, and very self conscious about how I look in a bathing suit, much less a wet bathing suit.

Questions like this one, would add to my self consciousness.
Where is the compassion in this world for others? Where is our ability to think outside the box, instead of criticize others?

Answer 5

They could be there for the party and a good time..perhaps they don't feel like actually swimming.If it's a swim party/BBQ..maybe they were there for the BBQ..perhaps they had a "blast"too.....Just because you are a certain way,doesn't mean everyone else has to be like you.

Answer 6

I don't think there is anything wrong with a woman trying to look good, even at a pool party. To each their own.

Answer 7

They want to impress people. They probably do that everywhere they go no matter where it is. Its all about appearances with them. They care too much about what others think which doesn't allow to to have fun and have a good time. People should not care what others think and just do what you want to and have fun. Who cares what others think just as long as you are happy that is all that matters.

Answer 8

Do as you like.
And why not, if someone wants to look good.
She may just want to enjoy the BBQ and not take a dip. There may be many reasons not to take a dip.Live and let live is my motto.

Answer 9

I remember a song lyric from the 60's. "A cute as ever but they never get 'em wet."

Roll out those lazy hazy crazy days of summer.

Evidently they did not intend to go swimming. who was talking to your man while you were getting wet?

Answer 10

Simply: Woman.

Answer 11

They probably just went to show off. I guess they must look bad without make up.
Good for you. You at least had lots of fun. :)
