I’ve never seen anybody who wouldn’t look a little better with some modicum of makeup. Gender excluded. Men should wear makeup and pluck those shitty eyebrows, too.
So sure, the girl in the OP may look “better” with a little makeup. So would the OP. So would I.
Huh? She’s a pretty young lady.
Her boobiez r 2 small but i’d do her. From da back yo!
Well, that’s one, thanks. How many more do we need to be even, gender-wise? Dozens? Hundreds?
I do recall his health coming up in regards that, though of course for some folks, making sport of Boehner is, well … just that. Seems better just to cut to the chase in that case, imo.
The best thing she could do for herself would be to smile. No one looks pretty with a sour look on their face. Granted, she wasn’t in a smiling situation when that pic was taken, but if someone took a shot of her when she was relaxing with friends and smiling, she’d be a different girl.
Am I really the only one who thinks she looks 12 years old??
We’re used to seeing photographs of women with full makeup, whitened teeth, and tightly plucked brows. She has none of these things. Her appearance wouldn’t be sparking comment if she did.
She *does *do her hair, hip hip hooray.
Strictly speaking, the “right makeup artist” could make her look like some kind of a lobster-like creature, if you wanted.
And the lady in question looks perfectly—bafflingly, even—fine, to me. I mean, standards and opinions of “attractiveness” can vary, of course, but this doesn’t exactly seem like a case for a major engineering brainstorming session, here.
Since there is nothing functional wrong or grossly disfigured about her face I question the use of “fixable”. There’s nothing there that’s broken.
That said, use of a little make up would make her more conventionally pretty. Mostly I think what’s throwing you off is that she is not made-up at all. We’re used to seeing that with men, not women, which might be why she comes off as “mannish” to running coach.
That’s why I was questioning myself in my OP. There was nothing conventionally out of place with any element. She has a bit of a moon face but nothing wildly out of the ordinary. Possibly is it just perception and expectation as you and others indicate.
I’m not gonna search for it but I’ll guess there are plenty of threads on Micheal Jackson’s appearance.
Folks on the SDMB have opined that George W. Bush looks like a chimp.
Trump is also mocked for his opinions, of course.
Posters hereabouts have also criticized Ted Cruz’s looks.
She looks quite nice when she smiles, IMO. If she did something with her hair as well she’d be quite pretty.
Cruz is a two-fer. He could be radio’s first mime.
She’d be much more good-looking if she were black.
As long as you’re revisiting the SDMB conservative slam book, one of us probably said Strom Thurmond looked old, too.
And various folks have said that Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle.
I think the difference is that nobody is saying “Oh no, George Bush is not attractive! What does he need to do to become attractive to me?!?!”
The problem is not saying a particular women is unattractive, it’s the idea that this is somehow a problem that needs to be fixed.
