View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?

Why men pretend to like women they actually don’t like. I see so many men saying that they like natural women, women who don’t wear makeup or have had surgery. But then when you look at the women they actually go for, they are the exact opposite to what they just said. Classic barbie girls.

Why not just admit that you like women who have had surgery and wear a lot of makeup.

Men who say they like women without those qualities while actively pursuing women with those qualities legitimately just don’t realize they’re the exact opposite of what they’re saying.

Men want “natural beauty” that looks like makeup and surgery. So they go for women that look like that.

One of my friends showed me a photo of a model with airbrushed skin and full makeup and contour, telling me he likes natural women like her, who don’t wear makeup. 🙃

Tbf I'm pretty sure you can find as many exceptions from women in what they say they go for vs what they actually go for.

Im a trans woman. I actually do prefer a low/no makeup look. Subsurface scattering is easy to spot, and looks way better than a plastic sheen.

Liking natural doesn't mean you don't also like makeup.

I don't date women that where a ton of makeup or if they have had surgery. Not for this guy.
