[net.women.only] shaving & makeup

rtf@ihuxw.UUCP (09/16/83)

I agree that humor of the form presented by 'sore ears' is uncalled for
in a serious discussion.  I would like to express my opinions on the topic
of shaving et al.  I personally shave every day and I enjoy the feeling
of a smooth face without a scragly beard and/or mustache.  For the smae
reason I enjoy the feeling of smooth silky legs when in contact with
a woman.  I also disagree with the people who think that women should not
wear any makeup.  I think that many women can enhance their appearance
with properly applied makeup, I think some women do wear too much makeup
but that is no reason to protest its use entirely.  If the social reaction
were not so negative I believe many men could enhance their appearance
with makeup also.  With today's trend toward total individuality, anything
can be acceptable and anything can be attractive to a person with similar
viewpoints.

These comments are on the level and are one man's opinion.

I think that make-up does only one thing... it makes you look like someone
other than yourself.  I believe that most people who use make-up (other than
those who "play" with it and change it around a lot "just for kicks") are
doing so because they got their concept of "attractive" from the media 
(especially TV and magazines), a media which is busy trying to sell ANYTHING
that it can TO ANYONE that it can, using social hype or fad manipulation
or any technique they can think of to sell sell sell!
