People who don't make an effort with their appearance.

[User247]

What do you think of people who don't do anything to look attractive?

I don't mean washing and basic hygiene. I mean those who don't dress well, wear make up or keep themselves healthy.

Why don't people want to be pleasant to look at?

@user you don't need that ex in your life! What a horrible thing to say. Whilst childbirth isn't at all glamorous, you're beautiful for growing your little girl and giving her life. It doesn't matter how you look after birth, you've done something amazing and shouldn't be bought down anywhere you go I apologise for my previous comment towards you. I didn't realise those were your circumstances or pick up on anything like that. Hope you're okay.

I saw my Scottish friend in the street today, no makeup, purple hair, she's married to a Frenchman and she rocks chic. She looked amazing and I told her so.

I'm more into thing like skincare and hair-care as in taking care of yourself, but yes have worn make-up every day since I was 11/12 (year 7 of high school).

I think as long as hygiene is covered (i.e. showering) then it doesn't really matter whether someone is wearing make-up or not.

People might think I don't dress well, but I wear clothes that I like and I actually enjoy picking new outfits as I find it definitely affects my mood and can give me a boost when I put something on I'm really happy with.

I think there are way more important things than what someone is wearing.

I wear what im comfortable in and i dont wear make up unless on a rare night out. That doesnt make me unattractive at all

If someone doesnt stink or look dirty, then I dont really care whether they make any extra effort over their appearance really, but it would depend on the context, ie i wouldnt be impressed if someone didnt make a bit of an effort for an interview or a wedding etc.

I might make judgements over what sort of personality they might have, but i wouldnt be assured over it either

I used to wear make up, then my gran was really ill in intensive care and between working and visiting her I was knackered and decided to have an extra 15 minutes in bed.

And I've carried in choosing to have an extra 15 minutes in bed. Don't give a toss what anyone else thinks of that.

My skin also have a slight tendency to turn sore, red and blotchy if it takes against anything I do use on it, so that's another incentive not to bother with make up.

Sorry if I'm not perfect enough for the OP, but some of us work and I mean do REAL physical work and can't wear posh nails or have nice hair.
People who looks dolled up all the time have something VERY wrong with their personality.
Or they are just lazy.

I think two conflicting things about other women who don't make an effort with their appearance. On the one hand I think, "Good for you!" And admire them for not getting sucked in to all that nonsense. On the other, I find it frustrating and want them to make a bit of effort. I don't know why I feel the latter. I have a couple of friends who don't make any effort over how they look and really feel both of these things, almost at once. I try to let the former triumph.

I stay fit and healthy through my lifestyle. But I don’t dress fashionably. For me clothes are practical. I would rather be warm and have pockets than look good. Normally that means work boots and dungarees.

Jeans are at their most comfortable just before they disintegrate.

I don’t find people who don’t wear makeup or put together clothes, “unattractive”. My DH never wears makeup, he is clean and tidy with comfortable clothes that fit. He isn’t particularly fashionable but overall I can’t imagine loving or being attracted to someone more than him.
So I don’t bother either. Tbh I’ve got more important things to do, and don’t have enough time generally for everything I want to do in a day. I’m quite healthy though.

I don't care about people going out of their way to look good with their hair and makeup. I don't think doing your hair and makeup actually makes everyone look better.

However I wish more people had enough self-awareness to realise that some clothes only look good on very fit people and no one else and that just because it's trendy doesn't mean you have to wear it.

I see so many women wearing leggings with a normal length top and the leggings just highlight every flaw even on women who aren't overweight. On the overweight or obese it's significantly less pleasant to see and you can't unsee it nor can it always be avoided. Then there are the leggings that become see through in the wrong lighting.

Also shocked by the number of women that think it's fine to let their flabby stomachs hang out of a crop top in the summer usually accompanied by too small cut off shorts or the aforementioned leggings.

Men who don't wear tops long enough to properly cover their beer belly or wear a belt to keep their trousers or jeans up. Men who wear ridiculous perfectly matched jogging sets Everywhere. Or who take their shirts off in the city centre at the first sign of sun in the spring. Ick.

I don’t owe anyone beauty.

When I do dress up, wear make up, style my hair etc it’s kind of part of a ritual of going out/special event, a bit like playing dress up really. It’s a nice feeling at times, but can also make me feel self conscious and too visible. The rest of the time I wear clothes appropriate for my job, and am clean and reasonably tidy. Today I’ve walked the dog, dropped my partner in town and been in a few shops - done it all in jeans and a slouchy jumper, no make up and hair scraped back any old how (with bonus roots coming through which I can’t really be arsed doing anything about right now). DP still seems to find me pleasant to look at, and nobody else’s opinion really matters.

Why the hell shouldn't a woman show her "flabby" stomach in the summer? What does it matter to anyone else, if they're happy? There are plenty of looks that I personally don't like, and a couple of things that I find a bit unpleasant. But they're my issues and it can be resolved by simply not looking.

I'm an 'older' woman, retired for some years. Like my late DM, I don't go out without my lipstick on! I moisturise ferociously, but my skin, very pale, is lined, I'm glad to say some are laughter lines! I don't dye my white hair, I love it, but I do have it cut regularly. Some women of my age with lots of make up and harshly dyed hair do themselves few favours - less can definitely be more! No one has to be tied to a style, there's so much choice for all ages. I can't afford expensive clothes, but I'm tidy, if casual most of the time.

Clean, not smelly and preferably not too hirsute is enough IMO.

I have a friend who can't go out the house without full blow dry, full face of make up, immaculately and stylishly dressed. She has 2 young children (who are similarly dressed) I worry about the fact she is so overly concerned about appearance but she thinks she's just 'making an effort'.

If I've put a bit of mascara on I've made an effort!!!

When things are good, I'm happy, there's food in the fridge, my kids are happy, its not stupid o'clock in the morning and I am in good health etc. then I love nothing more than to remove all unwanted hairs (eyebrows, shave legs etc.), get my hair done (and style it on the days it hasn't been) put on a 'together' outfit, put some make-up on, maybe even some heals, perfume, jewellery.

The rest of the time sometimes all I am doing is 'surviving' and then, really, there are bigger priorities. I can't imagine taking time to fix my hair before taking a sick kid to the Doctors or putting perfume on to run to the shop at 7am because we are out of bog roll.

Not everybody exists in a bubble where they can make it their priority. Life happens and so does baby puke

Be honest op. You don't mean "people" you mean "women".

Hmmm. I have to say that I think this is deliberately being unreasonable. If an individual feels comfortable a certain way, why on earth would you care? People have the right to do what they like with their appearance. And this is coming from someone who is probably on the 'higher maintenance' end of the scale. But that's a personal choice I'm entitled to make, just as others may choose to do less. Haven't you ever heard of not judging a book by its cover?

However I wish more people had enough self-awareness to realise that some clothes only look good on very fit people and no one else and that just because it's trendy doesn't mean you have to wear it

You know maybe people don't actually care whether you think they look good? If someone is dressed how THEY enjoy, what does it matter?

In a way I admire people who don’t feel that they need to make an effort, do make up or dress up.

I wish I had the confidence to not care what I look like

Appearance doesn't matter.

Make up looks awful anyway.

The more time women waste on make up, fashion and hairstyling, the less time they have for more important things in life. Being obsessed with superficial nonsense, like appearance, is simply selling out to the patriarchy- accepting the crap that women have some kind of duty to look beautiful for men,etc.
How many blokes waste time on a make up routine every morning? How many totter to work in stupid crippling stiletto heels?
How many waste a fortune on hairdressing bills/ridiculous clothes/ potions to plaster on their skin?

Having said what I did above, my mum always looked beautiful, glamorous and made the effort even whilst she was dying of cancer. That was her act of defiance I think at the horrible disease. I fondly remember doing her nails, helping her put her lippy on and get dressed in a carefully chosen outfit before an appointment at the Christie. I admired and loved her for it, even if that was probably the same time that I stopped giving a shit what I looked like because there was bigger stuff going on.
