because: Girls just wanna have fun.

two reasons: Men, and Media. The media has an exact picture of what a beautiful woman is, therefore all woman feel inferior so they need to buy the products that make them that beautiful. And men, there are some men who only care about looks, maybe OP has only had experience with these types of men.

I guess women are too stupid to think for themselves and need men and the media to tell them what they should do. You're working against your own beliefs here, #27. Women have a mind of their own, just because the media says "You need to be super skinny and perfect" or whatever, you don't have to do that, or lose your self esteem. Men have pressure from the media as well but you never hear them complaining about it like some women do.

I agree. Well said.

why don't you just **** off. women are being told constantly how to look. we aren't stupid and we CAN think for ourselves.

My first sentence was sarcastic, though it seems to apply to you quite well. The point of my post was that, yeah, girls are told to look pretty by the media, but that doesn't mean they HAVE to, because they have minds of their own. And also that men have pressure from the media as well, but don't bitch about it as often as many women do. Good job making your gender look like the inferior one, though. You're doing a great job at ruining it for smart girls.

Sometimes girls care about themselves and like to make themselves feel pretty. It's not a bad feeling at all, and it's not always influenced by what someone ELSE thinks about them. That's if they're confident and really don't give a shit. But most women aren't like that, sadly. Oh well.

how the hell does tinting her lashes make her obsessed??? just because a girl does things to enhance her appearance doesn't mean she's obsessed. some are, but not all. good lord...

Usually the guys in the media look normal, there are a few good looking guys but there is a lot more pressure on us. Even on family guy for example. Lois is the perfect trophy wife and Peter is a fat dumbass but no one cares because he's funny. And they always make fun of Meg because shes ugly? That's one example, but the media really is harsher on women.

Actually, long eyelashes are the difference between pretty eyes and not pretty eyes sometimes. To have nice eyes, you need a good frame :) Long eyelashes are pretty too :)

albinos?

Congratulations on owning a ******, me too! Not all of us have low self esteem, and it isnt ALWAYS down to men or the media. Self respect? People respect themselves by making themselves look nice surely? Tinting her eyelashes obviously makes the OP think she looks nice. Don't be giving anyone any of this feminist bullshit. I'm female, and I can't stand it.

The problem lies in that she most likely doesn't think she's pretty otherwise, thus the tinting. That is what they're getting at. People don't just randomly decide they're unattractive; OTHER people tell them (either directly or indirectly) that they are first, and sometimes the idea sticks.

I care.
