Today in my youtube subscription boxed appeared a new video by "italktosnakes". I think most nerdfighters know her.
Anyway, the video was intensely interesting. In it, she discusses how she went to a pub and got into a debate about boys vs. girls. The girls, all six of them, agreed that girls dress up for other girls, not for boys. The boys couldn't believe this and denied it.
I'm linking the video here. I'd love to see YOUR opinion on this. Do you think she's right? Do girls dress up for other girls? Do guys honestly not notice when girls do things like pluck their eyebrows? Do you boys have a "rating system" for girls? If you're a girl, do you judge other girls?
Inquiring minds want to know! Battle of the Nerdfighter Sexes, perhaps? :D
This is news to me, really. I'm a girl, but I can't say I care too much about my appearance in the first place. I dress pretty unimpressively on a daily basis because I really don't have that many friends who would do horrible things to me if I didn't look spectacular. I hate other females who obsess over appearances because I find them unbearably boring, and they find me ugly and worthless so we just don't get a lot of interaction. When I do try to look good, though, it is to impress a guy. Usually a specific guy who I know I'll see again in the future. Sometimes I just like to be vain and stare at myself in the mirror though, so in that respect I sometimes wear a small amount of make-up to impress myself... but I believe I'm in the minority. If girls with actual social lives say they dress to impress other judgmental girls, it's probably true.
