1 month agoAs a girl, I still blush madly when my hubby compliments me about my physical appearance. I can hear how much he means it in his voice and I turn red and look away. The feeling is sweet and lovely, mixed with passion and assuredness in our relationship. I’m not embarressed, but it would definitely look like it to a casual observer. We’ve been together 20 yrs now, and I hope it never stops feeling like that!
No they don’t. That’s an artifical societal demand. Interacting in public with anyone “heightens the need” to be presentable, but there’s no one forcing you to dress up nice or put on makeup.
IMO women need to take back the idea that we’re expected to slather on makeup before we’re “presentable”. I prefer to think of myself as attractive, and makeup might enhance that for special occasions, but au naturel is my default for day to day, including webcams.
