Explain This To Me Please.

[Totally_Pirate]

I really dont want people to get the wrong impression of me. Im a really nice person but this has been bothering me.

Why do girls wear makeup, dye their hair and wear really short clothing?

[BabyPiglet]

Are you a guy? Or a girl?

Anyways, some girls do it because it makes them feel better inside. Some girls do it because everyone else does, so they don't want to stand out.

[catycatcat4]

depends on the person for me puting on makeup and cloths is fun!

[CheezDoodle]

I don't wear horrid amounts of makeup. I wear eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lip gloss. I don't do it to make guys like me. I do it because I like the way it looks.

I have never dyed my hair and I don't think I ever will.

And I only wear T-shirts and polos for tops pretty much. I do wear short shorts often only because I live in Florida and it's ALWAYS hot down here... even today it got up to 81 degrees. But whenever I can I wear jeans.

I'd really like to know this too. I don't do any of those 3 things. I'm the type of girl who'd always be seen in some type of t-shirt and jeans.
People label me as a tomboy though. -.-

[::Snow_White::]

I only wear foundation. To cover up the sores/zits on my face. Which it actually works nicely. =)

I've highlighted my hair a blonde in some spots to...well to highlight it and I think it looks very nice. But I will never dye it completely.

And I don't wear short clothing.

So. I guess just to make themselves feel better. I don't know.

[Totally_Pirate]

Im a girl. First, I would like to thank you all for not hating me for asking this question. I also apprecite everyones honesty.

[Axel]

I do it for personal preference. I like adding color to my eyes and adding designs around my eyes. I'd dye my hair to express myself and to be my own brand of different. I don't do it for attention. I don't do it to get guys or girls. I do it to make myself happy. Because when I'm putting my art (yes, I consider what I do with my eyeliner art because sometimes it gets pretty extravagant) out there for everybody to see, I feel good.

As for short clothing. I don't wear it. I don't get why people do. I'd wear shorter clothing (right now I stick with knee-length or longer) if I had skinnier legs, but I can't really see myself in a belly shirt and a mini-skirt. And personally, most of the girls that I know that dress like that (even without the belly shirt, just the short skirt) are the ones that "get around" the most and not just with their boyfriends, if you know what I mean. I wear pants exclusively. I haven't worn a skirt or a dress in three years. I only wear them for formal occasions and even then, I consider a good pair of pinstripe pants before I pick a skirt. I'm just a little butch, I guess.

[Maleficent909TL]

Yeah, I wear makeup because I like it; I don't care if others do. It's just eye liner, mascara, and lip gloss, so it's not a huge deal, I just like the way it looks.

I haven't dyed my hair, but I've considered it. I just think it would look better a little darker. But I don't know if I'll ever do it; it's not that big a deal to me.

I don't wear short stuff. I don't see the point. If it's really hot, like when we're in Disney, or at band camp, I'll wear shorter-than-normal shorts, but they're still not butt-revealing or anything (ha, that sounds funny).

[Pearls]

I dye my hair because I get bored easily, haha.
I wear make up *** eets bangin'!
I wear short dressies *** they cute. (I don't wear short shirts tho, I think those look kinda gross and 90's-y.)

Haha, but seriously I guess I do because I want to. Its kinda a lame answer, but its all I got.

*nod nod*

[BabyPiglet]

*nod nod*
Same.

[Vannah]

I have make up, but I don't wear it often.
I also don't have really nice "short" girly dresses.
Nor do I have enough money to dye my hair.
I would love to have cute "short" girly dresses, but my legs aren't exactly shorts friendly.
And I was actually thinking about getting red highlights...

I think that girls do that kind of stuff to make them look prettier, even if they over do it.
They also do it to get guys to notice them which isn't always good.

[Tinkerrat]

some people do all that to impress people
some do it to be themselves
i wear a little makeup
ik've never died or highlighted my hair
and i only wear short clothing when i have to (disney, cheerleading,ect.)

Samee here.

--- I used to be a model so the whole makeup everyday thing became a habit. (eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush, and lip gloss) And a lot of me and my friends do it everyday too.
--- I dye my hair very rarely, but I usually only do temporary, or streaks. I am a natural beach blonde. I sometimes will add pink streaks.
--- I don't wear short shirts at all. However, short skirts I absolutely love. Why? I dunno. It's like a simple standard for my clique.:confused3

Same. I was a kid model though, and I havent in like 6 years.

I used to get highlights.. I dont anymore though.

I like short shorts and short skirts.. so thats why I wear them. I hate short shirts tho.

I mean who doesnt wear makeup and wear short shorts?

[PurpleDucky]

I wear makeup because it makes me feel pretty
I don't dye my hair because it ruins it
I don't wear short clothing because I go by this "If you're not for sale, don't advertise"

And xo juicy splash, I dont wear much makeup and I don't wear short shorts because I find them too revealing.

Most kids and teenagers wear them these days because it's what's in. They feel the need to follow the rules of ever-changing fashion

Nobody flame me for my opinion, thanks.

Okay. I respect your opinion.
I know everyone doesn't wear them.
Most people I know wear short shorts and short skirts.

[PurpleDucky]

Okay. I respect your opinion.
I know everyone doesn't wear them.
Most people I know wear short shorts and short skirts.

And that's all I ask of anyone. Thank you

Yes, most people I see in the mall are wearing this short shorts and skirts but I just find it...I don't know...revealing, like I said before
I don't think 12 year olds need to be flaunting their "stuff" to get guys attention. Legs are one of those kinds of symbols, mostly the chest area is what gets guys attention these days. I'm also afraid of these younger teens getting hurt by some guy, because some men are total pigs.

Now I'm not saying any of you on here are. If you do, then it doesn't matter, I don't think less of you, I just don't like it.

[disney100666]

I wear makeup cuz I like it.
and I don't dye my hair but I've always wanted it a bit darker.
and I the shorts I have are short but they are like the super super super short ones.

::yes:: ITA, Devan. I just don't really WANT to wear makeup. People at school, even my parents, call me a tomboy for it just because:
1. I don't wear makeup
2. I always wear jeans
3. I love t-shirts
4. I feel uncomfortable in anything that's too show-off for me

[Blooe]

i barely wear makeup. I think naturaul looks the best. i only wear foundation to cover zits and stuff. then a little bit of lipgloss.

I do wear short shorts. but not tops. && i usually dont wear short shorts i prefer bermudas.

Ive never died my hair.

[BabyPiglet]

I agree. I don't wear makeup because it makes my face feel gross. And it clogs pores. I'll occaisonally put on some mascara, just because it's easy and makes my eyes pop.

I don't wear short clothing, because I don't like revealing myself. For some reason, I've adopted more of a hippie look. (I've been wearing flowy dresses/tunics with jeans and letting my hair down). I'm much more comfortable this way, and it looks better on my body shape.

I prefer bermuda shorts.

But hey, that's just me. If you like makeup and short shorts/skirts, I ain't gonna knock you for it. =)

[!magine]

Um I think that this is either a very sheltered and young guy or a very sheltered and young girl. Dude(tte), they do it to... well, I dunno. Makeup sometimes makes them look better, as does hair dye. As for short clothes... to put it blunty, they wear short clothes for sex appeal. Girls today feel that guys are too stupid to be able to appreciate a girl fro anything but her body, so they wear really short and tight clothes. I can't imagine that clothes like that could be worn for comfort.

[Babyjustrun]

I only wear makeup on my eyes really. Just to make them.. pop? I don't really know. I put lip gloss on once and a while, but I really don't like the way it makes my lips feel heavy.

Short clothes aren't my thing. A short skirt would end up in disaster on me.

And dying my hair? Well, I don't do that either, but some people look better with other hair colors than their natural ones.

[Pirate Me]

I prefer not to wear make up. Just a thin eyeliner to..IDK. I think it just goes with my bangs? :p But excessive makeup doesn't show the real me and I don't have anything to hide.
Short shorts/skirts are not my thing. Honestly, it sort of..disgusts me.
I do love babydoll dresses with jeans. It's my new thing. ;D
Dying my hair will damage it. One of my friends has a bald spot. She keeps on dying it brown.

[BabyPiglet]

I do love babydoll dresses with jeans. It's my new thing. ;D

Yay! So I'm not a weirdo. =)

[Pirate Me]

Woo! XD

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

I never wear makeup. It's annoying XD
I could care less about boys :lmao:

And same as Pearls, I get bored with my hair. :P

And HAH. I don't own anything other than PANTZ. No skirts. Or... shorts other then my gym shorts.

[CheezDoodle]

Well not everybody wears short shorts/skirts because of fashion or to get the attention from guys. I wear them because as I said, I live in Florida and it's always hot down here. They're also more comfy than jeans. But, I do try to wear jeans sometimes because that is what most of my friends wear

[Sparx]

I never really wear makeup.
I do wear shortish skirts. (mid thigh?) I like my legs. They're my best feature.

And no, I don't get around. I have a boyfriend and I am loyal. My attire has nothing to do with my morals.

Edit to add.
When I see a 10,11,12 year old wearing super short shorts that only cover up her butt and a top showing off a chest that she usuallyd oesn't have, and I can see her belly button, it makes me sad. Kids are raised too sexually today, so when the girls start to develop they're struggling with it.

I feel like that too, when I see young girls wearing those short skirts I do wonder why they need to. Also when I was around 11/12 I was reading a lot of trashy celebrity magazines and no doubt that must be persuading "Youngsters". When I was that age though, I think I was more interested in playing my little kiddie games :)

I really dont want people to get the wrong impression of me. Im a really nice person but this has been bothering me.

Why do girls wear makeup, dye their hair and wear really short clothing?

I wear makeup when I go out with my friends etc, but the only time I ever wear short clothing is when I'm in Florida or in a hot country. Whenever I wear a skirt or shorts in England people stare at me, I don't like 'attention'.

There are plenty of girls at my school at my school that wear makeup to school and I just think WHY?!? We go to an all girls school :confused: who on earth do they want to impress?!

Some girls do it because they are fishing for compliments and others do just because it's their style.

FYI Theres no right or wrong with an opinion, for example I disagree with wearing makeup to a single sex school but others might like to wear makeup to girls school. Just thought I'd drag that in..

:hippie:

[imabrat]

I don't do make-up. It makes my face feel gross.
And if I wear it, the most is eyeliner,mascara,and cover up.

I dye my hair because I get bored. I wonder what I look like with black hair, or blonde hair.

I don't do short clothing. Unlike the size 0's who can do that, I've got a tummy and thighs. I am NOT about to show those off anytime soon.


Girls do it for guys,for compliments,and because it's "normal" or "in".

[DramaQueen]

A)personal expression and fashion?

(B)to get guys to notice them?

(C)to impress people?

(D)all of the above?

(E)none of the above?

[acesupercoolme]

I dye my hair and wear make up to change my look.. I don't like looking the same all the time. And I wear short clothes just cause I like them.


But why does it even matter?

[xo juicy splash]

Oh and just to put it out there I don't wear wear a ton of makeup.
I dont wear short shorts "to show off to boys."
And I doubt any of the other people (on here) who wear short shorts and makeup are showing off for boys. We wear what we want because we like it.. not for showing off.

[BandGeek911]

I only wear foundation, little bit of blush, and mascara. That's it.
I think too much make up on a teen makes them look too old.

I think people wear make up and short clothes for either personal taste or wanting to fit in.

hey i'm 12 going on 13 but i don't even wear stuff like that!:mad:
well i only have short shorts but not too short!:rolleyes1
i don't like showing my belly. (i'm too skinny):upsidedow
and my family and friends don't like that stuff!:grouphug:

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

I wear makeup... when I have time to put it on, or when I'm trying to impress someone. Which isn't very often. I've never dyed my hair, and I'm not even very experimental with different cuts. And I hate short shorts/skirts. The reason being, I don't like to show off my legs. In the summer, if I wear shorts, my legs get eaten by mosquitos. I look MUCH better in long pants.
