Should women wear make-up?

84. From a male's perspective

No. I dislike make-up in general. I understand why some women wear it and that's fine. I think it hides natural beauty.

I saw the SI thread and stayed out of it as there was just too much rudeness going on.

Here in South Korea there is somewhat of an obsession about looks, especially among women. Plastic surgery is very common. Even among males in some professions (mine included) here looks are taken into consideration.

Now I'm not a very good looking guy and I've never been overly self-conscious, but people will come right out and tell you what you need to change. I have a very good friend and former co-worker who is female who taught here for many years and she got told she was fat (by the way she was far from it). So I'm not the only one that has observed the more obsessive side of looks here.

Sorry just my rant about cultural differences and beauty.
