Well It determine If I like the scent. I usually don't like a lot of the sprays guys use. If I do get a a smell of a fragrance I do like I take a deep breath, then tell my friend to go ask what it was.

Do it yourself. Then kick the guy in the balls if you don't want him to get the wrong idea. Or just think pain is funny.

two questions...the first one is a bit has a bit more mature subject matter, so i put it in spoilers



(for both sex's)
2. Why is it that so many people these days are so obsessed with outer beauty, such as people spend so much money on make-up, skin treatments, plastic surgery's, and all of that, just for the outside...?

imho, and excuse me for sounding cliche(sp?), but, its not the outside that matters, its the inside(personality and emotional standing) thats the most important thing.

For two, could you be a bit more specific about obsessed? give examples or something?

I honestly don't get it....

1. Not that I'm speaking from experience here, but probably because girls are bitches. Most care more about appearances than anything else, about status and other peoples' perceptions than their own feelings. They tend to hate other girls, who are threats, and not know how to deal with guys, because they're not pathetically obsessed with being able to bring about a social demise in ten seconds or less. So the only way to deal with guys is to treat them like they treat other girls, and make sure you come out looking good, not matter what.

That and they probably don't realize that it can be a blow to the ego to lie, too, especially if someone actually cares about you. So they'll lie to make the guy feel better about himself/his sexual prowess. Pathetic but true.

2. Because we're shallow. But honestly, I think it's more than that. People have always been obsessed with it, but not like they are now. I think it's just really ingrained now. I mean, what do girls do when they get together? Talk about guys, but generally about which ones are attractive. I can't speak for all guys, but I know that when I talk to the ones I'm friends with, most of the time the first question they have regarding a girl is something along the lines of "Is she hot?" And even if people really don't want to spend all their time looking at things that way, most of us know that saying anything against it would make people think you're a freak. And nothing's worse than being different, right? So instead people just go along with it, whether they actually want to be obsessed or not.

But hey, I'm not one to talk, I wear makeup and everything. But that's mainly because if I'm getting a breakout, I'd rather cover it up and feel a bit less down about it than leave it be and walk around all day feeling hideous. Then again, I think there's a big difference between using it because you want to for yourself, and using it to make other people think you're more attractive.

Yeah, I was just making sure that I really couldn't answer the question. And such was the case. All I could really come up with is that first impressions are important, and if you can't make a good first impression you won't get a chance to show your "inner beauty" either. But I don't really know. I dislike Love at First Sight, and when someone annoys me, I don't take appearance into account with my treatment of them.

Oh lol~ that's harsh. Sometimes when I read stuff like this, I think it's true when they say "girls hate each other"...

Well, anyway, to answer fallofkakashi's questions:
1. They've prolly seen too much porn where women always have an orgasm? o_O But yea, it's prolly for the guy's sake, especially if they're like a new couple and the girl wants to make the relationship work. He would never want to hear that he lacks skills in bed.. and get paranoid that she had slept with guys who are better at it (blah blah blah~)

Besides, even if girls don't say it directly, I think most of us will try to "tell" the guy, (just pay attention to her!) or something.

2. People have always been obsessed with beauty. We just have more means now. I don't want to go too deep into it... ('cause I'm one shallow creature~! j/k)

Iynzajw, as a girl, I can't agree with a single word you said. Maybe you should surround yourself more with better-natured people.

Anyway, I can't answer the first question because I'm not sexually active. As for the second question, I think the media has set utterly ridiculous standards on beauty.
Most female oriented magazines emphasize on how ugly you are and how much you need work. 90% of the ads are about beauty-related products, marketed by perfect-looking models. Magazines have countless lists to celebrate beauty: 50 most beautiful people, 10 worst dressed celebrities, Maxim even has a list of "the least sexiest women"...solely based on looks. What's sad about this is that these lists even make the news circuit which gives the illusion that they are relevant information. The media shows us, (and more dangerously, the little kids,) that it's okay to rank women according to their 'sexiness' or their physical appearance. Even Hillary Clinton hasn't escaped the clutches of this media obsessed with beauty. Even as a presidential candidate, she's being criticized for---gosh---wearing pantsuits! Political commentator Rush Limbaugh even said he doesn't want have a president that will turn into an 'old lady' in front of the cameras.

Why are people more obsessed with looks now compared to decades ago? Because now we have television, colored magazines, photoshop, and gossip magazines/shows that make fun of people who aren't even ugly. Thanks to the availability of visual media, the standards of beauty have skyrocketed compared to 50 years ago, which makes the beauty industry one of the most profitable in our generation---> that's why we now have plastic surgeries and ridiculous beauty regimens.

A lot of men say they do not care about physical appearance, but when you look at any population (for example, your school), look at the ratio of pretty girls vs. plain-looking girls. Which of them gets noticed more? Which of them have boyfriends? Which of them are more celebrated? It's always the pretty girls.

I'm not saying I agree with this. Heck, the last time I wore make up was 5 years ago for a school play. I'm just saying there are women who feel pressured to always look good.

If you're trying to give a guy an indirect message, be careful. That'll probably confuse him more, and insult him more, if it's about sex. I mean, you definitely won't be offering constructive criticism if your being indirect (which guys will probably work on. It's not only a matter of pride, but if they love a girl, they want to make her happy, too). You'd probably just be reluctant about sex, and that doesn't exactly help the situation or clearly get the message across.

Yea, i know, i don't like the fact that people do that, it should be all based on personality, i mean, i wont even lie, i like someone who is pretty, but thats not what i judge them on...
Thanks for the responses.

I wasn't talking about my friends - I was talking about girls in general. I'm friends with some very nice people who do break that behavioural mold, and I love them to death and all. But the fact of the matter is that they're rare exceptions to the girls I know in general. Maybe it's because I don't like playing the little "oh, we're all so nice to each other" game, but almost every girl I know has no problems cutting up their best friends behind their backs and acting like nothing's wrong to their face. But that's just why I don't have many female friends, because I hate all that and would rather have honesty from people I spent time with. There are exceptions, but I've yet to find many.

Apart from that, though, I totally agree with everything you said. Hooray for living in the vainest society the world has seen to date!

I don't mean telling him indirectly, more like showing. Er, it's hard to explain~
