[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - thanks for the continued helpful comments! I think this one - “I like the way I look with makeup on too! But I have more important things to do than spend time putting it on every single day.” - is a great approach and will try that.

I find it interesting that because I'm a former model and like to wear makeup that some people have assumed I place immense value on my appearance. That's not the case. [b]I only mentioned the former model piece because some folks seemed to assume I wear makeup because I am insecure in my appearance, which I am not and never have been. [/b]

FWIW, my son is very striking looking and people unfortunately comment on that sometimes. I want him to know that a person's personality, work, character, and a million other things are more important than how they look.

Thanks to all who provided constructive feedback! [/quote]

so here’s a hint:  if you believe what you wrote ... tell him that.[/quote]

Models are famously insecure about their appearances and constantly told they fall short/look wrong, are you kidding me?  You’re lying about the modeling and anyone who ever worked in the industry would never cite a correlation between modeling and belief in one’s beauty. [/quote]
