Nails Done, Hair Done, Everything Big? What Men Love and Don’t Care About When It Comes To Your Appearance

Whoever said that women only get dressed for women was only halfway correct. We do consider, when shopping or getting dressed, how our appearance will measure up against other women’s: is this dress unique, or have I seen it before? Will I look as slim as my super slim friends while wearing this? Do I pull off this hairstyle better than that other woman? But the only reason we do this measuring, is to determine how noticeable we will be to men. One woman standing alone in a room of men obviously is the bell of the ball. But add a bar full of ladies that spent two hours on their appearance, and you have to know what your competition is. So: what do men actually notice? And what are we just wasting our time on and, as that anonymous person put it, just doing for the ladies?

    Can we get guys to write these articles?

  • Kisses

    I want to comment about what’s actually written but seriously….does anybody at Madame Noire read the comments?? Because I know I’m not the first to complain about having to click a number and let a page load 15 times!!!! And heaven forbid if I click 3 before 2, then I have to backtrack trying to keep the article in order…..jeez, this really isn’t android friendly!

    • john_robinson

      no, it isn’t… but it serves a lot of ads and registers a lot more page views which makes their site look busier.

  • Candysview

    Oh so men just want the girls with heels, and those that cant stand heels or the short skirts dont get any play .. Cmon whoever wrote this nonsense..

  • Shinoa

    I got to #4 and stopped, this is the dumbest article ever and it was written by a woman. Girl bye!

  • Zettai

    How do you keep getting work Austin???????

  • Kayo

    I don’t agree with this list. I could sit here and type too many examples that would make this list not accurate.

    IDK. This just crossed my mind today. I got Crystal violet dye on my fingers by accident today in my microbiology class, and my professor said it would NOT come off naturally. For some reason, the first thought that crossed my mind was that, I was glad to be getting an education, rather than thinking about my nails, or if I wanted to impress a man. But I am getting a pedicure tomorrow because it’s what I always do for myself. * shrug*

  • quest

    I don’t understand the swimsuit and heels thing either?!

  • Nyrva

    I agree with this post. It’s alot of work to dress for competition and for guys!

  • AfricanBambi

    An article about men by a woman?

    • mac

      i scrolled down to type this exact same thing lol.
      And the funny thing is these articles are always written in absolutes.
      Some men do care about these things, some men dont.
      A lot of straight guys actually do notice if a girl wears designer labels, or the style of her shoes, or how done up her hair is.

      You can’t speak for a whole gender, especially if you’re the opposite gender lol c’mon now.
