Lazy ass American woman decides to forego almost all trappings of modern beauty treatments, including but not limited to, makeup, grooming (razors!), and new clothes. And this is celebrated? I think its time to pack my bags for Poland...

p.s. - she claims the time saved getting ready gives her more time to be a better partner for her husband. Cue hamster wheel!!

if it wasn´t for the power of morning wood fucking a bitch who is not "made up" in the morning would be a challenge.

Quote:

My supportive husband, John, helped me put together a concrete plan.

Quote:

I could use sunscreen and moisturizer, as well as shampoo, a comb and a dab of hair gel. But I would throw out my razors and let my hair grow in all places except my face and lower legs. (My husband wasn’t so thrilled about this at first.)

Quote:

The hardest part was saying goodbye to my long, strawberry-blond hair — my favorite feature. A barber, the same my husband frequented, chopped off 14 inches and cut it into a simple, men’s haircut.

Quote:

Most of my friends were supportive. But some women took my new look as an affront. One well-coiffed ex-pat mother snubbed me. My lack of mascara seemed to her an act of defiance. Part of me felt a little superior, refusing to play the beauty game.

Quote:

I kept track of the incredible amount of hours I had saved by not obsessing over my appearance. This was more time that I could spend on being a better mother, and a better partner. I realized I was no longer the princess, no longer the bride, and no longer the beauty the whole world wanted — and I was not filled with rage over this.

I ended my experiment 13 months in, but the discoveries have stayed with me.

I use makeup sparingly. I keep my hair short and shop out of purpose and need.

Quote:

My beauty routine rounds out to about 10 minutes, quicker even than during the height of my experiment. All of this has given me a buoyant undercurrent of calm and well-being that can’t be faked with concealer.

Now when I look in the mirror, I don’t see wrinkles, anxiety, zits or exhaustion.

Instead, I see a face, a person, a personality, a life.

[Veloce]

Many of the girls I've dated or banged could put on a face in 10 minutes. Foundation, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, that's it. If they take care of their hair about 5 minutes of brushing and/or an iron makes it look great.

When you hear about women taking an hour or more to get ready, it's because they're going apeshit with the makeup, or doing a million small touches that 99% of guys would never notice anyway.

This woman is just a downright cunt. She epitomizes every man's worst nightmare; it's like buying into a stock you already know is depreciating and then the company goes bankrupt and the stock plummets. Imagine what a chump he feels like.

Bitch already snagged a chump husband, so she has no reason to play the "beauty game."

My current GF's best friend just did roughly the same thing (+Skrillex, AAAAGHHHH!). She went from looking like 17 years old (which she was) to 47. Thankfully, my girl is quite well informed of what I like, so she has already started criticizing her foolishness in ruining her looks and saying that she would never do that.

Still, the fact that this happened in Croatia should give you pause. We're slowly becoming fucked up as well.

I'm badooing some croats, not seen that many weird ones to be fair, hope it doesnt become an epidemic.

Her Problem: wore a dress that made her feel out of place or a tad uncomfortable at a dinner party/ some event

Her Solution: tap into laziness reserve by not using makeup, cut the hair on top of head but let all the rest grow, hope for compliments and acceptance for validation of her brilliant plan

I used to be irritated by these kinds of articles but now they are just humorous. It’s funny how a lot of “self-help” advice written by women can be summarized in one page, one step, one sentence: “Stop trying”. They may know nothing about inspiration, but I bet this woman thinks of her book as something that is making the world a better place.

That being said, I can’t completely fault her. Someone still published this useless bunk and the person I lost all respect for when reading this article was the husband. Instead of telling her “no you’re not allowed to look like Ron Weasley”, he backs her. He doesn’t point out that there is not one positive, practical application that a reader can pick up from her book (The Beauty Experiment). He doesn’t question why she has to do something so pointless and detrimental to him. He ignores any of his impulses to guide her properly, which is a husband’s duty. I can just see him falling in line to get his copy of the book autographed.

""My supportive husband, John, helped me put together a concrete plan.""

I bet 100$ that if somebody would punch her husband in the face he would say "sorry''.

Now I am in another continent could someone do this. Please, please?

[Duke Castile]

I last LTR could be ready in literally minutes and look beautiful. It was great.

[Mrs. Chocolate]

If stay without make up is so good, why she came back to wear it?

#hamster strickes again.

Yep. This is it right here. Other women, over time, start letting themselves slip. They just don't do it in one fell swoop like this one. Once they snag a dude, they can stop doing all the things they did to fool you into marrying them.

One of the saddest things I've ever read

I'm a major proponent of waking up to sex. My eyes will be barely open and I just start groping and kissing and feeling. I love it. If you're already attracted and already find her cute without makeup, it's great. However, if it's a few weeks into an "experiment" like this...

[Timoteo]

This is what newly out lesbians do. Once they've embraced who they really are, they reject all things feminine by going butch with the haircut, throwing away their makeup and not shaving.

Makes you wonder why so many supposedly straight women are adopting behavior patterns more closely associated with lesbianism...

And they would be disgusted if mistaken for a lesbian and hit on by one! They reject the very things that separate them from their gay counterparts. They see refusing to make themselves attractive to men as strength and independence.

Expanding upon my earlier comment... The only way to ensure a woman will be loyal and eager to please, is to be a male of strong status, that she will fear losing.

[Tuthmosis]

The logical acrobatics are astounding.

[Andy_B]

I actually support women going makeup-free wherever possible, I feel makeup is dishonest.

[Ziltoid]

I approve of bush and not wearing makeup, the rest is disgusting, though.

thats not 100% accurate at all. i know lesbians who just come out.. and theyre the most feminine women i've seen.

i thing its men's fault for not being the real MAN that should put these women in their place in society. there are few men out there who lack the balls to be real men. and they happen to reprimand these women behaving like this without doing anything about it.. its very ironic.
