Fat girls on the Bus

Main question: Confused

How is it that they can commit to time consuming make-up regimen, and expensive outer acessories, but not to jogging 20mins a day, (which is arguable all one needs, as long as there's consistency) Confused


On the bus today:

Saw around, counted, 22x "big" girls while riding the campus buses between classes.

I notice many of them have very complicated make up scenarios,, foundation, mascara, liner, shadow (feathered), toner, bronzer, nude lip, etc etc..

Also, many wear a decent amount of middle brand clothing, lots of BR mainly, they're relatively young after-all.


SO, all of this cost money and time, the make up well exceeds 20 mins in most of these cases,

And their cloths are obviously not cheap either...

Man, what a day. There I was, on the bus, doing my makeup *feathered lashes, nude lips, glittery cheeks...the whole bit!* when I noticed someone was watching me. It was really creepy. It made me want to go eat about 10 hamburgers. I had thought about going jogging for 20 minutes, but I was so scared I went home and ate and cried myself to sleep instead. Thanks alot, mr weirdo on the bus!!!

I also want to mention that I have no idea whose every day makeup takes 20 minutes to apply. I think more than five minutes is even pushing it.
My wife is 45 after all.

I'll refute each of your points below:

I think I'm perfectly fine looking and I wear makeup. It gives my skin a fresh look and makeup helps highlight my best features. Nothing wrong with that. I don't do it for anyone else, I do it for me. It makes me feel good.

I tend to avoid eye contact with people because I keep to myself. I also don't like looking at people on the bus. Maybe they think you're ugly and don't want to make eye contact with you. Dontknow

Okay, smartass, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe their significant others think they look BEAUTIFUL just the way they are and they see no reason to think their girlfriend/wife need to change the way they are. I know guys who only date bigger girls when they're good looking and fit themselves.

Not everyone has your taste in women. These girls probably don't give a shit what your shallow ass thinks, either.
Hmmm... You're right about highlighting your features.. but if you are of "hefty" size, your biggest most out there feature is the plumpness. your highlighted feature is like a desert rose, amidst a well, vast desert... and from more than 2 feet away Frown


I am not shallow, but realize that ANYONE can be emotionally fulfilling, but only those who have a nice/passable body to go with that "great personality" you're assumed to have, does it really make the bar. Otherwise, you're still a few points away Frown

Beauty is NOT in the eye of the beholder, there are some basic mathematical principles that determines GENERAL beauty. ie, golden ratio,

So, if your ratio is off due to face pudginess, then sry, ur highlighted features don't come through.. Frown

Same goes for the ratio of your waist line to your hips. you can dress in the smallest, blackest dress,, wouldn't work Frown

Even with good makeup, you cannot hide the uneven skin texture that seems to be endemic in girls who eat too much,, this is probably due to some acne..

I take 10-15 minutes. I like to take my time and poke around in the mornings. I spend a lot of time looking for the product I want too. If I was better organized and in a hurry I could do it that fast. I'm one of those wake up early so I'll have the time to get ready types of people. My husband sleeps as late as he can and then rushes around like a crazy person. It drives me crazy.

There are no rules.. But i just find it weird that if their objective is "attraction" then why are they pouring resources into something that clearly doesn't help.

It's like you need a car,,, but you bought a bunch of big foam hats. how does that get you to work Embarrassment

Well, I'm done in this thread. Clearly someone can't be beautiful if the OP doesn't think so. His opinion equals everyone's opinion, apparently.

i am a size 14 and i am beautiful
i have curves, and i'm imperfect in many places on my body
i'm a beautiful woman, regardless how much makeup i wear or how much i weigh

if i choose to take the bus to class while applying makeup, then so be it
chances are i've got ten times the love handles that OP has, but i've likely got ten times the class as well Coverlaugh

No i am not, shallow is if one was after beauty and nothing else....

But emotional satiety is easily achievable with ANYONE... which is why few truely shallow people exist. Most are merely looking for the "whole package,"



And what i say about the math and beauty is common truth.
