[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed a pattern with men I've dated.  I attract them in settings where I'm dolled up -- full makeup, hair styled, form-fitting clothing.  And then after we've been together a year or so, they start saying how they prefer a natural woman, no makeup, wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt.  Meanwhile, they still salivate over sexy bombshell celebrities. 🙄

It strikes me as negging, at worst.  At best, I think they've slipped into the "let's be comfortable now so I can also stop putting in effort and can just take you for granted" phase.  [b]What men fail to realize is that, for most women, *feeling* attractive is the biggest libido booster there is -- and that doesn't necessarily mean what's attractive to her partner, it's more so what's considered attractive societally, it's turning strangers' heads all day and then bringing that energy back home.  Men seem to think women will be relieved to be told "you don't have to put in effort, I like natural," but it's a slippery slope to dumpyville, and that benefits no one.[[/b]/quote]

I learned something interesting about women tonight. Thanks for sharing [/quote]
