Carolina, Chapel Hill Lines: 25 Summary: Dave Martindale (With respect to "preferring women without makeup"): > >they mean that they prefer a woman wearing no makeup compared >to THE SAME WOMAN wearing makeup. In other words, the comment >is about whether makeup increases the woman's attractiveness. >This is the only measure that means anything to the woman. >And it seems clear that you believe that makeup makes a woman more, >not less, attractive. Especially if the make-up job is subtle. The right make-up can disguise flawed, spotted skin. On the otherhand, I always hated those dark brown/blue/maroon bruises young women in New York painted on their cheekbones during the disco years. Similarly, clear or pastel fingernail polish is nice, but long, blood-red fingernails give me the creeps. I like strawberry or lemon scented perfume, but the flowery stuff gives me anxiety (fear of hayfever?). It's especially bad when many women gather in an enclosed space and let their perfumes fight it out. It's like being surrounded by a half-dozen radios all playing different stations. Frank Silbermann
