To all the slutty girls I see downtown:
I know I don’t know you. I’m sure you’re all very intelligent, kind and generous people. But why, why, WHY do you insist on tanning yourselves orange, dying your hair until it’s scraggly and black, gluing fake talons to your fingers and wearing contacts in colours that are not present anywhere in nature?! And WHY do you always seem to be surrounded by groups of boys while we normal girls are reduced to be jealous of your fakeness?!
Life’s a bitch.

Don’t worry, OP–your time is coming. After the guys get with the ‘fake’ girls, and the girls dyed hair starts to grow out or extensions are removed, nails come unglued, eyelashes are stripped off, tan turns dry and wrinkled, boobs and bum enhancers are shed, teeth go in a cup and false limb is unstrapped, the guys will then appreciated your natural what-you-see-is-what-you-get beauty.
Although, it may be that the guys do not crowd around you due to your bitchiness– calling the girls slutty because you’re jealous is not nice.
Most of the guys I know are less than impressed with fake stuff, with the exception of fake breasts,of course! I don’t wear make-up or spend any amount of time on my hair, I bite my nails and usually wear jeans and sneakers, yet I get more attention from guys than any of my friends. I think maybe its not how you look, but how you act that attracts people.
OP do you really want to be surrounded by the kind of guys who are into that?
Trust me OP, there are TONS of guys that just want a “normal” girl that hasn’t tanned themselves into an oompa loompa.
As long as there’s fashion magazines defining perfection, stupid sheep like you’ve described will continue to look like slutty oompa loompas.
along with all the fake acc. goes the personality too.don’t get or be jealous of these bird brain twits.be who you are,the real you. not some over/under dressed bimbo, who thinks she is queen fucking shit.real guys, go for real people.
only the small minded or imbecilic go for the glitzy bitch down the road.be who YOU are,not who anyone else wants you to be.isn’t that right,q,mole,nasty,or even kay.
Real women are hot. Fake women are not. To me, a girl who can walk around with no make-up, messy hair, wearing sweats and be totally confident is incredibly sexy! I hate the fake crap too OP, but it runs in both directions. Guys are equally guilty of being fake like this and just as many girls drink it up. I say let the fakers be with fakers and us real people can be with real people.
The funny thing is that I don’t think too many guys look at fashion magazines (unless porn counts). So, it is mostly the women who are defining beauty. Before photography, beauty was captured on canvas (usually by men) and it look very different than it does today.
“Real women are hot. Fake women are not” If this is true, then why are women like Pamela Anderson so popular? Nothing real about her.
Women like “real” women.
Men like women who take care of their appearance (fake according to OP).
That’s the truth. Sorry ladies.
“…why are women like Pamela Anderson so popular?”
I think it is a combination of two things:
-the thought that a woman who highlights her sexuality will put out much faster/easier and with less inhibitions;
-once a woman acquires the thing that she felt held her back (big boobs, etc.), she gains confidence.
TDF– The answer to your question lies in where she lives. Americans in general seem to like girls like that more than Canadians do. I know it’s a generalization, but it’s most likely a solid bet.
I used to work with a woman my age, (late 20’s) and she had been doing the whole tanning thing for about 5 years previous to me meeting her. She looked twice her age; to the point that most of the guys in the store called her a cougar, despite the fact that she was indeed relatively young. Time will catch up with them, as the anglo-saxon skin doesn’t respond too well to excessive sun/UV exposure. Then when they hit about age 30, and have been abused and used by the douchebags that seem to date those fake girls, they’ll be whining they can’t can’t find a guy, mostly because they look like a bloody suitcase.
This still comes back to the OP complaining about how these women get all the attention. Young women will do what they think will attract men, doesn’t matter if they’re good men, they just want the attention. So, the OP is right.
Hali- How come it’s okay for men to want women to take care of their appearance, but if women want the same from men, we’re accused of being superficial and not liking “nice guys”. Do nice guys not know how to groom themselves?
All this shit is to nail themselves a man – holy fuck, if I had known I’d end up raising three kids, cooking, cleaning and picking up after a man for over 30 years (and hold down a full time job), I would have bought myself the Size Queen Turbo Dick and hired a maid. So, young ones, slap your 2 inches of makeup on, get your fake tan and prepare for the wonderful world of emotional slavery as you try to ‘please’ your man.
“I don’t think too many guys look at fashion magazines (unless porn counts). So, it is mostly the women who are defining beauty.” I disagree, HKM. Men may not be looking at fashion magazines, but they are definitely influenced by, and in many cases, the creators of media that perpetuates a certain image for women. Magazines like Maxim and FHM; movies, tv shows, music videos and video games rife with ‘hot babes’; and all kinds of lovely advertising telling them what the ‘ideal woman’ looks like. I’m not saying that everyone buys into this sort of imagery unquestioningly, but it’s hard to not be influenced by it, whether you’re male or female.
Hali says, “Men like women who take care of their appearance (fake according to OP).” There’s a big difference between taking care of your appearance and drastically altering to the point where you resemble a plastic doll. And besides that, I don’t think that baking your skin crispy, saturating yourself with chemicals to bleach your hair and smooth your skin, and wearing 40 tons of foundation is “taking care of yourself”. These women may look appealing to some right now, but in a few years time they’re going to be wrinkled and leathery, with bad complexions and thinning, straw-like hair. Ever meet a former bar-star in her 40s? It ain’t pretty….
Those days are over TTFN, the couple now divide the work load at home (ha ha ha)–until the motherfucker ditches you for a pamela-sue-wanna be when your looks start to go (no matter how much makeup you put on). In other words, if those are the guys that you want, those are indeed the guys that you will get (careful what you wish for).
“Hali- How come it’s okay for men to want women to take care of their appearance, but if women want the same from men, we’re accused of being superficial and not liking “nice guys”. Do nice guys not know how to groom themselves?”
I’ve got to a gym 3-4 days a week for the past 5 years. Next question?
Frankly, after reading the last line of this bitch, I think that the OP’s issue is not with fake girls, but with her own self-esteem. Why would you want to be in competition with these girls for the attentions of guys who are obviously equally superficial? Do you really want to date a guy that will think less of you because you don’t bleach your hair and bronze your skin?
“all kinds of lovely advertising telling them what the ‘ideal woman’ looks like”
I do realize that people are told in many ways what the ‘ideal’ woman is, me0w, but I think it has to be asked, ideal for what?
Hali-
Just asking in general. You may take care of yourself, so you’d want a woman to do the same, but that doesn’t mean it’s a standard for men. Seems like the slobbiest men expect women to be perfect but are put off if women expect the same from them. I’m talking grooming, not actual looks. I’ve witnessed men who look like they hadn’t seen the inside of a shower for days and wearing messy clothes, make nasty comments about a woman’s looks because she wasn’t up to their Playboy standards. So, I just wonder why they expect perfect, when they don’t put effort into themselves. It’s a generality, I dont’ think you’re all like that. I’m not trying to stir up trouble, just trying to understand the inconsistencies.
Fair enough. 🙂
Nobody is perfect – and that old chestnut still applies – beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Why, ideal for the Beautiful Life they’re trying to sell us, of course, HKM! You know the one: where everybody has all the money and shiny new things they ever wanted, and everyone is famous and has their own reality tv show, and everyone is perfect, and if they’re not it’s easily fixed by a make-over montage, and even fat slobbish guys have a hilarious sense of humour and a younger hot wife, and families are thrilled at the dinner table by the latest frozen entree, and women love wearing tight, revealing clothing EVERYWHERE, and supermodels throw themselves at random dudes in elevators with reckless abandon because of their irresistible body spray, and we all live in either white-picket fence Connecticut or glitzy LA, and drive sports cars and have passionate love affairs, and no one seems to mind that we’re self-involved douchebags that talk like the girls on The Hills because we’re all so god-damned fantastically beautiful!!! 🙂
I would like to point out that just because a woman gets her nails done and gets a tan, does not mean that she “takes care of herself”…I had a friend once that did all that and was one of the dirtiest humans I have ever come across… I’ve always thought long nails were icky anyway, doesn’t stuff get all caught in them?? YUCK!
Give me a girl that wears hoodies and jeans, only wears makeup once a week, never uses a tanning bed, likes to play football, and I would be happy. Don’t give up hope OP, and ANY girls that aren’t cookie cutter bimbos, because you actually appeal to alot of decent men.
well sodeypop, I’m your girl….Sunday is my favorite day because I get to wear my football jersey, play proline, and watch football all day!!!
everyone’s going to have different opinions,… some more common than others.
one thing I think most aren’t looking for though is sheer vanity.
fine line perhaps… where do you stop wanting them to check the mirror but do look appealing a fair deal of the time…
I hate long nails (mani or pedi) for the icky reason you stated lorilulu.
OP, look at it this way: at least the ‘fake’ girls are helping you identify which guys don’t share the same values as you and as such are not appropriate dating choices anyway. They are doing you a favour, really. The ‘keepers’ are the one’s who love who you are on the inside, not just the outside, and vice versa.
I like sodeypop already, except for the football part.
Put on some kickboxing, MMA or a good hockey game with Canadian teams instead 😀
The problem is Sodeypop that you still want said girl to have a pretty face and smoking body. She’s your average beer commercial girl, not the real one who is 20 pounds overweight with a generally forgettable face and a dead end job
Ya, I’m not gonna lie. I have standards of what I find attractive. What I mean is that women don’t have to spend alot of time and money to look pretty to me. 20 pounds “overweight” isn’t too bad. More cushion for the pushin’.
And about football, I enjoy playing it sometimes, but I only really watch hockey and soccer. Most sports I can enjoy playing but don’t have the attention span or interest to actually watch.
Chicks in sweat pants are hot!
I find there is a double standard, though, against men: fat women complain that no men want them because they are fat, men are shallow, whah whah blah blah, yet when they themselves see a guy who’s unattractive or a bit overweight they say “eeewwwww he’s fat and ugly! Why would I want to be with someone like that?” And despite the stereotype, I see a lot more attractive men with less attractive and/or overweight women than vice versa. Just look around, or watch Steve Wilkos or Maury some time (yes, I, uhh, briefly catch some parts of those shows while flipping through the channels), for example: there’s a lot of slim, decently attractive guys with downright fat and ugly women.
Women expect a lot out of men: you want us to be good looking, have personality, have money, a good job, status, confidence, well-dressed, smell nice, etc. I do personally try to achieve as much of that as possible, by the way. Not saying you shouldn’t have standards, but don’t bitch that there are “no decent guys out there” when your standards are excessive or when you go after the bad boy jerk. At least all that most of us guys want is a woman who looks decently attractive and isn’t a complete bitch. Anything else is just a bonus. Besides, with the majority of relationships still starting from the guy going after the girl and not the other way around (unless, of course, you’re a guy who’s incredibly attractive, have status, money, well dressed, etc.), what do women expect? Of course we’re going to go after looks, at least initially.
Ahh I’m rambling again! Stop me here. Just don’t give me the typical “ohh no wonder you don’t have a girlfriend” response. There’s plenty more reasons for that!
Guys flock to those types of girls because they figure they’re an easy lay, and they’re usually right. If you’re looking for more than a one night stand OP, then keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll find someone soon enough.
It also doesn’t hurt to occasionally approach a guy yourself instead of waiting to be picked up.
@Hali – To me, baking yourself to the point of being a carrot, or even going to a tanning bed once a month, is not ‘taking care of yourself’. If you want to date a walking cancer stick, perhaps. These are the girls the OP is talking about. The ones who get all the attention from ‘bros’ because they’ve just left the home to start University with Daddy’s credit card and their orange tits are hanging out of their ugly Ed Hardy tank top under their BENCH coat…
at least, those are the girls I’D like to see floating facedown in the harbour.
ahhh natural girls their the best – fake shit girls are just that – you’ll find me in the line admiring the natural girls – no make up no fake eyeballs no fake nothing – just natural pretty girl – cheers to the pretty girls that need not try
I am constantly amazed to hear women argue about what kind of female men prefer; natural, dolled-up, thin, curvy, long-hair/short-hair, athletic, voluptious etc etc…
You just don’t get it, do you?
We like variety…v.a.r.i.e.t.y….like the saying “the grass is always greener…
Whatever type woman we have, we want t’other…
There you have it.
You’re welcome.
