    I wouldn't say this is a great look, as it is too fake.
    However just curious if this isn't the ideal look, what is?
    Emma Watson springs to mind for me?
    Emma Watson really wouldn't be anything more then a 6/10 if not for her Harry Potter fame.

    Because of a lack of originality.

    When I say this look, I mean the fake, TOWIE look? I mean is it cos they think it makes them look good?

    I mean it must cost a fortune to do and take a hell of a lot of time. Most men (myself included) prefer more natural girls. I mean fair enough if they find it fun but whenever I see girls like this, I stay well away cos they're pretty likely to be shallow and simple (not always) and lack any sophistication. I completely understand why women would use makeup as if well applied it can improve your attractiveness a fair bit but I just cant understand this.
    I don't get it either, and I'm a girl. Most of us would change at least one thing about our bodies (I certainly would) but I don't see why they would want to look like that. I saw a picture of Amy Childs from when she was at school, she looked so nice and normal. Now she just looks...awful.

    Also, to the men out there, would you prefer small natural boobs to big fake ones?

    I don't find that look particularly attractive but if it makes those girls feel better about themselves and gives them confidence, then fair enough

    There were so many girls at my old school who used to plaster on the make up when they really didn't need it - it's horrible when they evidently thought they were so ugly to warrant that amount in the first place, and then everyone else made them feel worse by taking the piss

    I would prob prefer small ones........well I guess whatever the woman felt better with really. Like you say, we would all change atleast one thing about our bodies.

    I was considering implants for quite a while but I think the furore over the PIP implants has put me off completely.

    It's armour. When they've got all that slap on they feel like they can take on the world. They are too insecure to feel strong, sexy, fun, powerful, confident & happy without it. It's a suit of armour.

    Yeh I would just try and accept yourself. I (with most men) think big fake boobs on thin women look ridiculous. I bet yours are fine. Dont worry, I would certainly change things about myself but can't so I try to accept

    I think it's a kind of addiction. I mean, for people that do use make-up, they enjoy how they look and want to keep that look, but then it becomes a norm so for special events they need to step it up and that's when the whole thing starts off.
    Also, foundation on a regular basis just makes it easier for spots to live on, and what else to remedy that than with more foundation?

    As for the way they dress... I'm a bit stumped. Each to their own though, I mean it's their choice and just because they dress a bit different (albeit 'essex-y') doesn't mean we go on them like a ton of bricks.

    ... though I would never in a million years let myself wear a dress with a peplum if I already had the curves. Jus' Sayin. :P

    Do you really think THAT is attractive :lolwut:

    Anyway these threads are always on here yet in reality guys always go for girls that look like that whether they like to admit it or not :shifty:

    I know not ALL guys do but alot do even the show song marry avoid all the girls have boyfriends and then the boyfriend wants to change her and make her be more natural but they went for the OTT look to begin with :facepalm:

    Then some guy will say "yeah but there not nice guys" How do you know you can't judge someone because of the way they look.

    I know a girl in my class that looks like that and I think people kind of judge her for the way she looks but if you get to know her she is a nice and i guess insecure person.

    I agree girls look better with natural make up on but those people are an exception considering their on a show and portraying a stereotype of Essex to boost their ratings.

    Even the most natural looking girl is likely to be fake somehow I've never seen a 100% natural girl that guys like.
    she's attractive

    chloe sims from TOWIE scares the life out of me.

    Attachment 132819

    God helps us, if there are some women out there who think this look is attractive. :rolleyes:
    chloe simms seems a really lovely girl, she has serious insecurity issues too. that is not a flattering picture, just like i'm sure there's unflattering pictures that have been taken of you, but she is a very pretty woman.

    I actually don't think men REALLY like that look. Well a lot of men I know don't, anyway. It's so awful-looking it actually looks comical

    And the sad thing is, the women genuinely believe they look attractive.
    who are you to say they don't?


    what is wrong with some people! that is so mean!

    Not many men find this fake look attractive, if im honest. Its probably why girls with this fake look sleep around, a lot.

    And how is it so "mean"?

    if people started saying "how can you think you're attractive" to you wouldn't you be upset? i know most girls would be. of course it is mean.

    i disagree, you can't speak for all men. you might think it's unattractive but obviously other men think they are attractive.. otherwise they wouldn't sleep with them, otherwise they wouldn't be in relationships...

    i don't even think their look is that different from a lot of hollywood celebs like megan fox, j-lo,katy perry etc. and they are all seen as very attractive in general.

    I know i cant, i wasnt intending to.

    Bold bit: these men are probably in the minority and when the make up rubs off the pillow the next morning, they'll find out what kind of munter they slept with LOL

    Underline bit: they only sleep with them because they find them "easy", im not even joking.

    Relationships? Hah. Never seen 'em in a long term relationship tbh, they always get cheated on or they themselves, cheat - due to insecurities, hence the make up.

    well i'm not sitting here crying if that what you mean

    you can't sleep with people you aren't attracted to and also a lot of guys i know always talk about how fit jess or lucy or whoever is on TOWIE when they are talking about it... they also talk about girls who look this way similar.

    i have seen plenty in relationships also maybe they don't want to be in relationships have you ever considered they are just looking for sex too?

    i also think you don't realise how much make up women generally wear... the only difference with these girls is that they wear fake tan too or the wrong shades.. and fake eyelashes... not that much difference!



    no i don't dress like this (nor do i want to), quite the opposite.

    It's either that, the Ke$ha look or the original Jessie J look. Personally, I prefer women who are more like Rihanna, Eva Longoria Parker, Adele, Lady Gaga, Naya Rivera, Katy Perry etc who seem to have their own sense of style and don't conform to any set fashion that is trending.

    That's your opinion I think Lydia is the prettiest out of all those girls.

    Anyway if you watched Take Me Out this Saturday that ugly balding guy the cheerleader one is an example of how ugly guys would go for the girl that looks like that compared to Grace who looks natural. Then he said she was too plain for him yet he looks plain himself. I bet he would have more in common with Grace than the other girl.
