Makeup/Weave=Security???

So... i was just told a story that a young man wasn't interested in a woman because he felt she wore makeup and weaves due to being insecure. Say HUH??? I actually know this woman, and believe no such thing. I believe she is just as confident without her weave and/or makeup and just as beautiful too.

The funny thing is... he liked EVERYTHING else about her... on paper they are perfect for each other... but that was the one turnoff that kept him from pursuing a second date.

I can only speak for myself, but I do know a few I can speak for that would be okay with me saying this:

Women who wear makeup or weaves: Does NOT mean they are insecure!!! Ya heard???

I REPEAT...

 

Women who wear makeup or weaves: Does NOT mean they are insecure!!!

 

 

I personally think this man thought she was too good for him.. and had to come up with some bullshit to justify his OWN insecurity. Don't get me wrong, I also know some women who are insecure and try to hide beneath the decorations... but that doesn't mean every woman is that way. It also doesn't mean you dismiss a woman because of your own preconceived notions. Get to know her! Maybe once you get to know her well enough, you will earn the right to see her au naturale... but until then.. stop judging the book by the cover!

 

I personally wear weaves a lot. Why? Because i get bored easily with my hairstyle and because my job is not hairstyle friendly lol. I always said.. my hair is the one thing I feel I can control. I can have short hair, long hair, curly hair, braids, sew-ins, wigs, etc. Whatever I'm feeling... I can create. I do my own hair because when I have a vision.. it's important my vision comes to life properly (for a minimal amount of money!) I can't say I wear a lot of makeup, but thats because I have super sensitive skin and I also sweat a lot if working out or at work. I am an "eyeliner-mascara-lipgloss" kinda girl... but love to play with eyeshadow every now and then.

 

Any hoo... so for me.. makeup and weaves have NOTHING to do with my security. Many of my girls wear makeup every day and would not dream of leaving the house without "putting on their face." However, these girls are JUST AS PRETTY without the makeup! They just love to play with their look to match their mood or their outfit.

 

Well... I think I had another point... but I forgot because my mind got sidetracked on something else I forgot I wanted to do. It's midnight of course.. and here I am thinking of something else to do lol

 

I hope you will take this blog and begin to see beneath the surface of a woman's appearance and get to know their insides, before dismissing them for something so unimportant on the outside. Besides, there are many women who have makeup on... that you cannot even notice!

 

If a woman is truly beautiful... she will be beautiful when the makeup/weave is on... and when it's off too. Stop being judgemental.. MEN!
