I'm a gg (or whatever you want to call me), and I have worn make up since my teens. I don't know, as someone else here said, I like to look pretty and my best for myself and how it makes me feel. I take pride in my appearance and keep my weight down and refuse to "let myself go". Some people actually look better without make up, so know yourself, and do what's best for you. I know in some respects this seems shallow, but really if you feel good about how you look, your self-esteem is higher. I try my best at everything I do, whether it's work or hobbies or sports. So, I think looking your best when out and about is similar. When I see unkempt, sloppy, fat people, I wonder what they're thinking, and that they must not feel good about themselves. Looks are very important to men who are looking to date. I know it's not necessarily right or fair, but it's pretty much a fact. I have a friend who is overweight, and dresses very sloppily and doesn't wear make up, and she is trying to meet a man, a lifetime partner. She is on a dating site and doesn't have a picture up front, so she gets a few bites, due to her profile and wonderful personality, but when she sends them a picture, they disappear. Fair? Absolutely not. Realistic? Absolutely. Physical attraction is a big part of romance, and no one is shallow if they simply are not physically attracted to a person, despite their wonderful personalities. You can't help it if you're not feeling it. A person wants, needs to be attracted to their romantic partner. I do think you can become attracted to a person, due to their personality and other characteristics, but why not give yourself a better chance. It's so hard to find a romantic partner, that you should give yourself every chance possible.
