Scouse girls?!

[Cwoffeelover1]

Why are they sooo glam half of them I’ve seen look like actual models and why are they so so thin?

Plus, always wear black to a funeral! Friends from Berkshire were coming to Liverpool for a funeral and the 2 women said they were going to wear bright prints to be “uplifting”. I advised against it but they didn’t listen. Then very quickly realised they’d mistake when they arrived at the church!

Me neither. How depressing that women 'bond' over appealing to the male gaze and wearing ten tons of makeup. Grim.

They are all different sizes, no idea why you think they aren’t, a trip to Liverpool would change your mind.

I imagine they don't like the positivity around something that is essentially associated with WC culture, for whatever reason, either because they are part of the group and dislike the stereotype, or are not and resent the praise of others. So they are suggesting that the posters are patronising rather than genuinely admiring the women. Which is a shame really, as it seems to me (a WC woman, though sadly not a glam scouser) a positive and warm thread in the main, where people are celebrating a culture often overlooked or belittled on MN.

Grim is women judging other women based on what they like to wear and bond over. Grim is "not like other girls" behaviour.

No, sorry. I will definitely judge women who put artificial beauty on a pedestal and who are vapid and superficial.

And I'll judge women who think they are better than others just because of how much make-up they choose to wear or not wear. Vapid and superficial people are people who think that what you wear determines your personality.

Oh, that could be possible. I'm not going to lie, though. I agree with them in that case. It does seem to be glamourising something that isn't positive, women whose lives revolve around their looks and spending hours on grooming and makeup. I say that as someone who is very image conscious myself. I think it does women a disservice to think that they won't be judged for living out certain stereotypes. I have seen it in more than one profession.

I meant they shouldn't be obsessed with their looks etc at that age. If they just wore a dress or football kit I wouldn't care but they shouldn't be bothered by their hair or nails until much older.

So when you see little girls heading to school with their hair done nicely in braids with ribbons you feel sad? Or is that OK because middle class girls have their hair done nicely for school?

Be careful of stereotyping. My niece is very intelligent and ambitious. She just graduated with a first and has a better job than me already. She is also very glamorous. I assume she just gets up earlier than I do. I am always well turned out but next to her I'm a scruffbag. She is not vapid in the slightest. A lot of these young women prefer to impress each other than men.

Oh, come on. There's a difference between nice braids and 'toddlers and tiaras' full glam. One is age appropriate, one is not (and is catnip for pedos)

That's interesting because the two most glamourous and well-groomed women I know are a Professor of Microbiology and a Senior Partner of a Law Firm.

I said nothing about tiaras, I said that girls in Liverpool are well groomed from a young age, including wearing nice clothes and having their hair done nicely. Paedophilia is not caused by clothing.

There's 'glamorous and well groomed' and then there are girls like in the picture a PP posted.

You know what I meant.

Oh? Because the two I mentioned both wear full fake tan, dyed blonde hair, full make-up, false eyelashes, groomed eyebrows, regular lip fillers and botox and seem to still manage to be highly successful and intelligent women. Amazing.

Nope, I only see someone applying different standards to the perceived morality of women and girls based on how they dress and the class divides that impact that.

Because every second shop is an aesthetics clinic! Can’t go 100 yards without passing one.

I don't want my eight year caring more about nails and how she looks than just being a child. I genuinely don't care about class etc. They should be playing not sitting getting dolled up to look good.

Oh, nonsense.

I dont think they're particularly good looking.

Just polished, if you like that aesthetic

Impossible to tell what they look like under all that makeup. I find it very hard to tell girls who present themselves that way apart, there is a certain uniformity about the look. As for all the talk earlier about willowy redheaded natural beauties, that's all very well but you get people like that everywhere, not just in Liverpool.

I’m going further back than some posters on here. My grandparents in Cheshire had 2 evacuees from Liverpool during the war and from photos they and their families were all good-looking in a classic Irish way. So for me, it’s not just about OTT make-up and hair. I’ve met many scousers over the years and they’ve been attractive people. Just my experience. - not a scientific sample!😀

Never seen anyone in Liverpool with PJ’s on. I don’t know why you think I am lying about this. I am not criticising them. Even my own dd goes out of the house with her heatless curler tube thing wrapped round her head. She is also exceptionally glamorous.
