Yep. And if you're too pretty, some women will be mean.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Where do I stand on makeup?

In front of the mirror!

You honestly think she looks better in the top picture??

I certainly do. My husband can't decide because he knows the second one is fake.

I do too.




As far as it goes for me, I wear a little bit, but it only takes about three minutes: tinted moisturizer, powder, light eyeliner, and always mascara. I don't leave the house without earrings and mascara. It's a thing.

Yep. And if you're too pretty, some women will be mean.

Men, OTOH, will be quite nice!

I always prefer what's real to what's fake.

S'why I'm an atheist.

True enough, but the main motivation for women to judge each other based on appearances
is because of competitiveness over men.
