I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

    Eh, I’m not a fan of lipstick on women. There is nothing inherently wrong with either. It’s all a matter of personal taste.

      I find makeup in general, and in fact hair colouring, mousse, etc. not attractive. I’m not saying it’s unattractive, but it makes me think, “why would you do that?”

      I suspect it’s related to probably being on the spectrum. I find it difficult enough to understand people’s unspoken thoughts and emotions, without all the distraction and camouflage.

      Seconded. Actually the whole “every woman has to wear makeup, earrings, purses etc” thing. Yes, many do and many people find it attractive. But not everybody - let people be themselves…

      A very good “normal” example of body modification, just not as permanent. And there are degrees to that as well…I’ve seen lipstick colors that just enhance the lip color and give a sheen that I don’t think twice about, but even my favorite celebrities look off putting to me when made up “heavily”. I’m a bit on OP’s side as far as preferring the natural look, although minor studs or a small tattoo somewhere don’t catch my attention in a negative way, if I even notice.
