well in the first place, attractive means different things to men and women, so ladies, i know you know what attractive means, because you spend so much time in the bathroom getting ready, but i don't think you feel the same things men do, at least when it comes to being attracted to someone. that's a good thing btw.
...and it 'occurs' differently among men ("and women also, I imagine").
I personally am attracted to the 'natural look' ("no make-up is ideal") - in general, the more make-up a woman wears, the
less attractive she is to me (
"Especially if she is 'just down-right gaudy' in appearance.") - because, it is
artificial. Sure - she may certainly - in an instant - get my attention. But, "the longer I look" - the
less I like what I see --
because I cannot see "the real her" - instead, I see 'a mask'.
Please understand the context of the last sentence. To me, it is
just as important to see "the real her" in
both the 'internal' AND the 'external' - not "covered over" by anything - but, "honest and true"...
Please also understand that I am not saying these things as "an absolute hard-core concrete position on the matter" - I can certainly "deal with" a
small amount of make-up that is used to
enhance what she already has...
"But, when it goes from 'enhance' to 'create' - is when it becomes a real problem..."
I
do not believe in - nor "play into" - the modern (satanic)
deception that 'a woman MUST wear make-up or
she will not be perceived as attractive'.
"This is just SO wrong - it is NOT true..."
to answer the question though. God made women attractive in that way to get our attention guys. like flowers are beautiful, and smell nice to attract bees. i think Adam looked at Eve for the first time and said "WOW!" being attracted to someone isn't necessarily a sign from heaven that you should try to get to know them better though. its just a thing, but it is fun when you find someone that is attractive, you are attracted to, and they are attracted to you as well. God made it that way, to be fun
i think anyway. so no attraction isn't always deceptive.
"Do you enjoy a flower in its 'natural state' - or do you put make-up on it first?"
