I have to admit. I feel sorry for women at times. There exists huge cultural and societal definitions and pressures that make day to day living very . . . well, if nothing else, time consuming. Now, I'm not a fan of the "french woman" as it pertains to body hygene. But I also hate the extremes that women here go to to make themselves look . . . like a woman! One of the things I have always found attractive in a woman is their natural beauty. All of my close girlfriends (and my wife) were (are) women that are to me naturally beautiful. Now, I understand a woman shouldn't have a uni-brow, mustache, or other hair that would focus one's attention. Even men have to "groom" from time to time. I'm mostly talking about the incredible lengths in terms of hair and make up some women go through to make themselves, to themselves, look presentable. Women! It's not necessary! I remember the wife of a guy I used to work with. Her makeup had to have been applied with a trowel. One day he came to see me at work and had this "girl" with him. Honest to gosh, I didn't recognize her . . . but thought she was cute. I thought she was some kid! It was his wife! OMG!
I bring this up because of some pap' sites posting picture of Pam Anderson sans makeup. Now, I'm no fan-o-Pam. At all. Whatsoever. I don't think she's hot, a babe, and hate everything she's done to herself in the name of popularity. It's gross. But, these pictures reminded me of what hse was like when she first appeared in Playboy. She was cute! In fact, in spite of what I just said, I didn't think she looked that bad in the recent pictures. Certainly much better than when she's got all the clown makeup on. I find this to be true more often than not of women I see without makeup on.
While there's something to be said for a glamed up woman, I'll always choose one who's comfortable with their own image and doesn't feel it necessary to spend an hour a day making themself look "presentable".
