Good call, Rex. From 'Beauty In The Victorian Era':

The rise to the throne of Queen Victoria in 1837 marked the decline of the use of cosmetics. The Victorian Era was a time dominated by a strict moral code, religious values, modesty and sexual restraint. Therefore, during this period cosmetics were considered to be immoral, their use frowned upon and thought to be something that only women of dubious morals would wear. But that doesn’t mean that ladies stopped using them altogether.
While actresses and prostitutes, which at the time were considered to be pretty much the same thing, kept on wearing strong makeup, well-off ladies used very little and in very natural tones.
It's not returning to the concept of The Idealised Victorian Woman:

She serves and obeys her husband, is moral adviser and guide to the children, and ensures peace and stability in her home. Beautiful, sweet, passive, and self-sacrificing, her identity is derived solely from her role as wife and mother.
Given that I've long suspected women gain weight, avoid makeup, cover themselves with tattoos and hack off their hair to avoid attracting male attention, I think we're just seeing what the new vision of propriety is. Modesty is achieved not through buttoning up and meekness, but through sloth, aggressiveness and gluttony so no-one will consider touching you sexually. They're trying to push men away, but men are so fucking thirsty, they keep on pushing back.
Nice point about the Victorian era. Women then had to marry early and were mostly reduced to their inherent beauty. They could not even balance out a few things with display of her breasts and heavy makeup like during the Renaissance times.
Also fun to see the female hamster spinning the tale of plain Jane marrying the wealthy, daring, unbelievable good-looking hero. The guy still has to look like this and has to have loads of natural Game (being funny, mysterious, dashing, daring, deliciously direct, dark & brooding etc.)
I don't think that most women want to decrease male attention by getting tattoos, cutting hair etc. I have talked with some women and they were honestly surprised to find out that men find short hair less attractive - the magazines and media have been praising the pixie-cut for decades! Also they did not realize that tattoos make you more masculine and thus less attractive for men - they may make quite a few men more attractive for women, but that does not make it so for the other sex. And again they had no idea!
The thirst of Betas is just so powerful, that no one tells them the truth and likely the Blue Pill men have been brainwashed by the same magazines. But of course when you look at the girls of the level A celebrities, billionaires & sports-stars you will be hard-pressed to see many tattooed snarky bitches with piercings and tank-girl haircuts.

And even though half of those girls are models or ex-models, they all come with a heavy makeup and one older wife with plenty of Botox.
Part of the problem is of course the simple factor of demographics. One of the reasons why Ukraine is filled with hot, slim girls is just that there are less men than women available for girls above the age of 20. It becomes even worse when you deduct the guys who disqualify themselves by being alcoholics or in prison etc.
But we won't be able to change that - when average Jane can still get thousands of dick-offerings per year, she won't feel the sting of the SMP until her end 30s.
