Ever since I was little, I have been about the polar opposite of girly. When other girls were playing with barbies, I was burning their hair off, rearranging their limbs, and more. I didn't really like playing dress-up, unless we were pretending a game, like Pirates or Undersea Explorers. And I never asked my mom to "dress me up pretty" with makeup. I was the epitome of a tomboy. Hell, I wore my brother's old clothes up until 6th grade.
Now, my tomboyishness has largely evolved into girl-geekiness. (if you feel the need to categorize me, I suppose.) I don't wear my bro's old clothes anymore, and I have my own sense of style - but I just can't bring myself to really make myself "pretty". I don't wear makeup. Whenever I tried to put makeup on, I ended up either massacring my face with mascara, or bloating my cheeks with blush. And I didn't feel like "me" with it on. So I don't wear it. But, at the same time, I really don't feel like anyone is attracted to me. At all. I can't remember ANYONE ever liking me (at least not for sure) and because of that, I've never had a boyfriend. Being physically attractive isn't a top priority. Do you think there is something wrong with that? Because sometimes (as clichéd as it is) I feel really ugly to everyone. Like the girl that a guy could maybe be friends with, but could NEVER EVER even consider liking or dating. Do you think a girl has to wear makeup? (When you were in high school, did you think a girl who didn't wear makeup was ugly/socially stunted?) I don't even know.
Clothes have also always been rather disinteresting to me too. I can withstand about an hour or two of shopping, and then I want to get the hell out of there. I DESPISE malls. And I can't ever imagine myself going to prom, because: a) I couldn't, and probably wouldn't want to, get that dressed up; b)nobody would ever want to take me; c)I burn people's eyes when I dance.
Basically, what I'm asking is: When you meet a girl, how important is appearance? If she's not wearing makeup, how does that affect your first impression of her? I just feel so out of place in a roomful of girly-girls, who are playing with each other's hair, putting on makeup, and squealing about how cute some pair of jeans are. :club:
