writes: I was wondering what your opinion is on this question. Do guys really mean it when they call a girl beautiful, sexy, pretty, and hot? Because I think I am attractive but when I look at myself in the mirror I don't like my stomach,(have a few inches on my belly) my jiggly arms, and sometimes I have puffy eyes in the morning. My hair gets so dry sometimes that I have to condition it often. So I don't know if they are telling the truth and I look at models and they are very pretty. I don't wear much makeup either because I like to look natural. I had guys tell me I am beautiful but I don't know if they are being truthful. Do guys really like it when a women is natural or all made up? Reply to this Question

I mean every word and she gobbles it up and loves it. I do not get involved about preferring natural or make-up. She looks great both ways and i have told her that many a time. She is not heavy into make up and actually i like that better but i have not told her that. I believe she senses what i like anyways. I say what i feel and i am saying what you say but take it up a notch. Sometimes in public i will say it to keep the other male suitors away from her. I guess when you girl is drop dead gorgeous you have to treat her better because there is somebody else just outside ready to jump in and steal her from you.

 I agree with other posters, it depends on the situation. A man in a pub trying to chat you up probably doesn't mean it. A man who has taken time to get to know you may well mean it.
With makeup - men normally claim they want women to look natural but actually to achieve the 'natural' look can take quite a bit if makeup.

Guys are certainly capable of lying, but the important thing to remember is that the flaws that you dwell on are likely not even registering when he looks at you.
When you look in the mirror you're seeing flab, dry hair, etc. When he looks at you he's seeing your face's structure, your breasts and your butt, among other things.

It's contextual OP. I don't think my wife's mother is hot or beautiful but I tell her she looks that way when she's dressed up as a means of complimenting her. A guy drunk in a bar looking to score will tell any woman that she is. So we don't always mean it OP.
In the context of my mother in law, she can take it as being true, because while I don't fancy her or anything I do sincerely mean the compliment if you know what I mean. I mean it in the sense I hold her in high regard and want her to feel good, so the intention behind my words is good.
If someone compliments you then take it as them meaning it unless of course it's some horny drunk guy.
Dry hair, puffy eyes, a little extra, cellulite, stretch marks, we don't care about any of those things OP. We mostly don't even notice them.
As for natural looking, that's my wife's look and I love it. Make up for her is special occasions only or when she's going on a night out. Guys are different but one thing we all hate is too much makeup, it makes women look ugly, really bad. It makes them look insecure and untouchable.

I think that comes down to several things.
1. the guy.
2. the situation.
3. the woman and her skills at putting on make up.
Most images you see of models are heavily made up, airbrushed or photo-shopped so that is like comparing yourself to a "perfection" these models can't even achieve. It's a unicorn, so to speak.
If you belly is pudgy or or arms flappy, well then DO something about it.
I think you are assuming that all men want ONLY the pretty or the perfect women. If that was so.... 98% of the females of the worlds population wouldn't find a mate. Only 2% of women actually live up to the "standard" model body/physique.
With the world being over populated as it is, I think it's safe to say that men (and women) are QUITE content with a mate who is less then "perfect".

 Most any red-blooded man will say ANYTHING to a woman - regardless of accuracy or sincerity - if we think it will aid and abet our getting that woman to bed.....
Hope that helps...
Good luck.....
P.S. The "make-up" thing doesn't really make much difference...

I think most of the time guys like natural girls but those who look like they put a little bit of time and effort into their appearance. If you've spent time making yourself look good I'm sure he'll appreciate the effort you put in.Everyone has things they dislike about their body mine being too tall and having really small boobs. That doesn't mean that because you don't like this that guys don't find these parts of your body attractive. Many guys I've been with love my small boobs :-). I think a genuine guy who calls you beautiful, hot etc means it. However I do think they are some guys out there who may give compliments in order to reap the benefits. Such as get you into bed. I also think if a guy really cares for you he'll give you compliments to make you feel good.If they are genuine guys I bet they think your beautiful! I also bet they don't see any of the negatives about your body that you do.
