Misdirected Effort So as a relatively low-maintenance and in-shape girl, I have a considerable amount of guy friends that are very into going to the gym and keeping themselves in shape. There's a trend I notice in all of them though; whether they're swiping through Tinder or just admiring girls around our college, they show a huge distaste for the hams. Now this is natural of course, fupa fitties and Larder Crofts are impossible to come by, but there's more to it than this. The guys are genuinely frustrated that these girls put so much effort into styling their hair, dyeing it different colours and applying meticulous eye make-up. I can tell you now that straightening/curling your hair and getting that good at make-up is a lot of effort, and it's totally wasted if you're more butter than female. I could swear up and down that almost every guy I know would prefer a girl that wears next to no make-up and keeps herself in shape. I know this statement is not original but seriously, the amount of guys I've heard agree with it is through the roof. Don't paint a pig, build a better house, that's how I see it (and if you don't want to die alone as a painted butterball in a jacuzzi-sized coffin, that's how you should see it too.)
