  • psud0, on 09/26/2008, -5/+38I think that 9 of 10 women use the most of cosmetic products needed to cover some critical parts, which could be considered as "cheating". I use all of them, because I want and must look good. Probably I wouldn't do makeup each day, but the nature of my job forces me to do that.
    • McNandatron, on 09/26/2008, -2/+38The nature of your job forces you to wear makeup?

      ....What is your job?

      I know many women from many walks of life who do not wear any makeup to work.
      • skabyss, on 09/26/2008, -3/+28Maybe a secretary? Not that that would require make-up but making a good impression for your employer is important.
      • MacBookForMe, on 09/27/2008, -1/+8All executive men are the same:)
      • H0tKarl, on 09/27/2008, -4/+20Streetwalker?
      • stk198323, on 09/27/2008, -1/+10My girlfriend is working at an Arden store, and she is forced to wear makeup, if not she's fired! So if a store like Arden force her to use makeup just imagine how many job does also!
      • dragon76, on 09/28/2008, -2/+1I think you know many women from many walks of life that lie about wearing makeup. I'm a makeup artist and Calvin Klein famously once said, "It's best to look natural but it takes makeup to look natural."

        I seriously doubt you are asking all of those women if they wear makeup and how much. Even women who do not wear eye shadow or blush will wear foundation/powder and eyeliner or mascara.
    • tanjuska, on 09/26/2008, -2/+13I agree with Donna about wearing makeup because of job... although I dont wear it ..
    • Haoie, on 09/27/2008, -5/+18Try finding a woman who doesn't use makeup.
      • AchaIemoipas, on 09/27/2008, -5/+29My wife.

        Pretty easy. They're the ones who don't look like clowns and don't smell like cat piss.
      • dragon76, on 09/28/2008, -1/+1No, they're the ones that look like you keep them chained at home with ankle biters slaving in the kitchen. Wearing makeup for women is like a man shaving daily. It's a part of vanity grooming. There is no reason for a man to shave except for appearance.
    • hmunkey, on 09/27/2008, -10/+18Are you an exotic dancer?
      • DarkPrincess74, on 09/27/2008, -8/+13Are you an idiot?
      • werries, on 09/27/2008, -2/+3I dugg you up so i could digg you down twice.
      • apophenic, on 09/28/2008, -1/+1Seriously, I don't know what other job requires makeup.
      • mkmomtracy, on 09/28/2008, -0/+1How about cosmetic sales?
      • electrosheep, on 09/28/2008, -1/+2Model? Actress? Television presenter? Makeup artist? Sales assistant in a trendy clothing store? There, I just gave you five.
    • skywake, on 09/27/2008, -2/+779 out of 10 women use makeup
      7 of them overdo it
      6 of them would look better without it
      • lofispy, on 09/27/2008, -1/+37Amen....way too many women have bought into this concept that they need a whole array of illusionary devices to make them look better. Its really kind of sad IMHO. I mean, who was the marketing genius that somehow hoodwinked the last several generations of women into buying a whole array of sometimes dangerous and unhealthy products, and even worse, somehow twisted their self-concept of being a women into an orgy of shoe shopping and other mindless pursuits.
      • mkmomtracy, on 09/28/2008, -2/+2To each his own. I choose to look good because it makes ME feel more confident. And it advertises my product. (I have a Mary Kay business.) Perhaps you should give it a try! Make up can do wonders for a woman's self-esteem!
      • zeabu, on 09/28/2008, -0/+2mkmomtracy: You need make up to feel yourself worth something? o dear.. I pity you.
    • Tyrghast, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2Better without makeup ftw. Rare is the guy that doesn't think it looks like clown paint.
    • razorsedge555, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Let's not forget the common tactic of putting xanax in the lasagna.
    • shadekeiko, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2I know flight attendants have to.
  • VIJoe, on 09/26/2008, -7/+110What's stopping # 10? Get with it, Toots. Work it for Daddy.
    • Daxx22, on 09/27/2008, -2/+5Feminist.
      • djholybolt, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1So? There are Manists out there, ya know. Why do woment watch football? every answer i get is because the football players wear tight pants. We gotta balance it out some how.
      • djholybolt, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1women*

        *was too late to edit when i saw the typo*
    • shadeOfGrey, on 09/27/2008, -2/+2Fatty
    • slickwatson, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Snap
  • brokendalek, on 09/26/2008, -4/+25You do what you need to do!
    • BuLong, on 09/27/2008, -12/+6At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you *****.
      • Zerophnx, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2I see what you did there.
      • BuLong, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1hehe, thanks, you seem to be in the minority though
  • skabyss, on 09/26/2008, -14/+85So wanting to look and feel your best is cheating? I don't follow.
    • russ3, on 09/27/2008, -1/+8Theyre uing a quick patch .
    • cygnus2112, on 09/27/2008, -1/+28Is it time for men to start wearing chest shells to make our pecks more muscular? Bicep pads? Artificial six-pack? Sock in the jock? Crotch-enhancing pants? Spray-on beard?

      While men will certainly dress up and maybe use some hair gel, they don't near the extremes that women will go to "look good". Frankly, I hate women who feel they need to be artificially attractive, when I'm mostly just attracted to eyes, personality, sense of humor and personal motivation in life.

      Yes, some men may be shallow to judge on attractiveness and physical traits, but it's equally as shallow for women to try to be barbie dolls. Both types should rot in hell.
      • isleepyx3, on 09/27/2008, -2/+2ah, you're such a rare type of man. and the poster below this one. assuming you're both really men.
      • SnarleyJoe, on 09/27/2008, -0/+4@isleepyx3

        You got me. I'm really a fish.
        And cygnus2112 is a sponge pudding.
      • dragon76, on 09/28/2008, -2/+1Well, when you live in your mom's basement, you're only left with the "personality" types.
    • SnarleyJoe, on 09/27/2008, -0/+5I think the point is, you are not looking 'your' best, but an artificial best.

      You are pretending to be something you are not, when you use chicken fillets, or push-up bras. It's false advertising.

      IMO, natural is certainly best. Clean, clear, and fresh. Little or no make-up, nothing pushed or pulled into unnatural shapes. To me, nothing is sexier than reality.
    • boshuda, on 09/27/2008, -2/+3Try reading the article and you'll "follow"
  • maxyRO, on 09/26/2008, -1/+19There's a shocker
  • ridestp, on 09/26/2008, -12/+55I ♥ ☉☉
  • DeskFlyer, on 09/26/2008, -1/+77Way to whore a headline, Telegraph.
  • KatelynLiz, on 09/27/2008, -4/+6I prefer the term "bending the rules"
  • sjbdallas, on 09/27/2008, -16/+13So what. They all the same in the dark, face down, kitty up.
  • pablo0713, on 09/27/2008, -18/+50Goes to show that no matter how much women want to be independent and not viewed as sexual objects, they always always ALWAYS ultimately bend towards the will of the man. Sometimes, I wish I could be gay because women suck serious ass. Yeah yeah, just lost my girlfriend so bury me and ***** you.
    • phirestyle, on 09/27/2008, -2/+31Ha ha ha, you sounds a little bitter, but it's still true. It sounds like something I overheard between a couple (no older than 25) at the showcase. It was something "I swear, If I wasn't sexually attracted to women, I wouldn't tolerate half your *****..."
    • tyho, on 09/27/2008, -5/+6I give it a week, then you're back to worshiping women like you should.
    • thatsoccerchick, on 09/27/2008, -1/+2how is it bending towards the will of the man to wear make up? Most guys don't like makeup, if they know we have it on. So for most women it's for our sake, makes us feel sexy, confident. And that benefits us much more than men
  • coreyb, on 09/27/2008, -1/+50What the hell are "magic pants"?!
  • iguanapunk, on 09/27/2008, -11/+5I think it's good that woman are fake, because they're nice to look at. As long as my girlfriend doesn't catch me looking that is.
  • pstroll, on 09/27/2008, -2/+6So basically women over the age of 25

  • elnerdo, on 09/27/2008, -2/+5What the heck are "Chicken fillets", and how do they enhance a woman's breasts?
    • KenshinKitten, on 09/27/2008, -1/+2Haha you stick them in your bra and they push them up, like a push-up bra but apparently they look more 'natural' that way or better.
      Watch 10 minutes of any soap opera and you'll see what I'm talking about.
    • cpsutcliffe, on 09/27/2008, -0/+26Little silicon sacks that resemble chicken fillets, they place them inside the bra, to make their ***** look bigger, while maintaining the tactile tittyness we expect when we grab them..
    • idontknowmaybe, on 09/27/2008, -0/+3they wear them as inserts in their bra
  • DestroyFascism, on 09/27/2008, -0/+13They look even better without makeup and clothes...well maybe a nice pair of socks.
  • benologist, on 09/27/2008, -11/+6Why does anyone care what percentage of women "cheat" to look good? How is this supposed to help us re-enslave their kind???
  • BDOUG, on 09/27/2008, -1/+21There's a lady at our office who appears to be pretty well endowed but my buddies and I have noticed that on some days she's sporting a much larger set than on other days. I guess her morning bra selection depends on her mood that day or whether she's having lunch with the boss or sompin'. :-)
  • KenshinKitten, on 09/27/2008, -3/+7Push-up bras ftw!!
  • Cwolf267, on 09/27/2008, -1/+16Confusing headline
  • phirestyle, on 09/27/2008, -1/+30Very misleading title...
  • yor1001, on 09/27/2008, -0/+20I seriously dislike makeup....call me a rarity but makeup put me off maybe its because when marriage is a factor and the mackup is gone and the acting your left wondering "what have I done".
  • diggydougie, on 09/27/2008, -0/+12This isn't news. Everyone knows this.
  • DonCreech, on 09/27/2008, -1/+28"Men meanwhile were asked what outfit they believed women to look sexiest in.

    While women believed a classic black dress or snug fitting jeans was the best, men thought short skirts and low-cut tops were the way to go."

    This entire article is a bunch of 'duh', but the last line is pretty clear. Men prefer women to be naked-er at all costs.
  • downwiththeking, on 09/27/2008, -0/+4This is why I hate articles with misleading titles and statistics.
  • FBMGriever, on 09/27/2008, -12/+6Nine in ten women are retarded.
  • cjsmith87, on 09/27/2008, -2/+10So fellas go ahead and rank a girl (1-10). Now to know what her REAL ranking is go ahead and subtract like 2 or 3. I don't know why you girls do that crap. I think most of yall are pretty without cheating.
    • wentwhere, on 09/27/2008, -1/+8A lot of guys say this and then they see a girl without makeup/"effort" and they're like "oh jk"

      Believe me, a girl you think didn't put any effort into looking hot, put effort into looking hot
  • Sinn3r, on 09/27/2008, -8/+0The remaining 1 in 10 are single fat dykes who work in librarys and own 3 cats.
  • allothersnsused, on 09/27/2008, -0/+6Dugg for "magic pants"
  • barbaragordon, on 09/27/2008, -2/+20"men thought short skirts and low-cut tops were the way to go. "

    Now there's a surprise. Newsflash: Men like boobs.
  • lipglossnerd, on 09/27/2008, -1/+11Being confident looks better in trying to "fake" what you have. Either way eventually the guy will find out that your boobs are just "chicken cutlets" and that suddenly a huge gut appears when you take off your pants.
  • JBHedgehog, on 09/27/2008, -6/+1They don't really put chicken filets in their shirts do they? Ugh. And I thought their teeth were awful.
  • How2Dig, on 09/27/2008, -5/+2and why would we not want them to cheat?
  • DeadBabyFloat, on 09/27/2008, -1/+44That's cool, I lie about how much money I make and tell them I love kids and stuff too.
    • ftotheill, on 09/27/2008, -1/+4Dugg for username just as much as comment.
  • aereaus, on 09/27/2008, -17/+3I'm going to defend the women here.

    Men are dogs. We all know it. We expect it. It's biology, baby... and it's been happening for thousands of years. Doesn't make it right, and it isn't. But it goes both ways. Women wish to mate with strong, intelligent men. Biology again.

    That's life. If you happen to be good looking and smart...bonus! Think Darwin......

    Life sucks. We have one thing going against us on this planet, one thing that will kill us all, one thing that is causing global warming, wars, political upheavals.... overpopulation. Too many people, too little resources, not enough power for the masses equals death for all.

    The reason? Men. Men are in power. Because of this, this comment will be buried. If women had their rightful say throughout the world, we might not be facing the crap that is our reality today. Why? Long standing institutions..i.e. Religion.

    Religion is a barrier against proper human interaction. Religion is the excuse to control the masses and always has been. Women's rights, their bodies and procreation of the human species has been dictated by men, wrongfully, for centuries.

    ANY GUY WHO DIGGS ME DOWN FOR THESE STATEMENTS SHOULD HAVE THEIR MOTHER SLAP THEM VERY HARD IN THE FACE!

    Equality for all! Education for all! Equal rights for all! Down with Multi-National Corporations! Down with Religion! Down with ism's!

    Ahh *****! Down with Humanity!

    • Louis11, on 09/27/2008, -1/+2I don't see how your overpopulation thesis equates to 'Nine in 10 women 'cheat' to look good'? Or how the cause of global warming is purely a male related problem. If only women where in charge do you think that would prevent us from driving cars, flying jets and emitting tons of green house gases?

      I sure hope that you where being sarcastic, and that wasn't your actual 'intelligent' thought process . . .
    • Melancholiatic, on 09/27/2008, -1/+5Save it for myspace.
    • Typhoon2009, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1I was just skimming through that post... you lost me at the all caps thing.
    • aargh01, on 09/27/2008, -2/+7Men are dogs? Sure, so are women. Guess what, people suck, whichever parts they have in their pants. Women are not pillars of nobility and honor just because men have dominated society for so long (type Sarah Palin into Digg's search if you want an example of what one kind of woman in power might be like).

      Women want to mate with intelligent men? Hah! Right! (Replace intelligent with rich, or ambitious, maybe.)

      Now I totally agree that women should have total control over their bodies (and essentially procreation), but I know at least a dozen guys who have been told by a women that she couldn't get pregnant, only to find out later that she did (either by them or someone else), leading to unwanted children (by the man) and loveless marriage (because the man did the honorable thing and stayed) . Babies are not a weapon, and should never EVER be used as such.

      We will only have equality in our world when people stop believing that they are better than others just because of their color, nationality, or naughty bits.

      I am a man and I am digging you down for this, because you can't admit with any honesty that women are people just like men, not some noble ideal of motherly love (furthermore, I know MY mom would never slap me in the face for digging down idiocy and self-righteousness).
    • aereaus, on 09/27/2008, -4/+1Cool got people thinking!
      • aereaus, on 09/27/2008, -4/+1Cool got people thinking! But did any of you actually read what I said? No.

        Also... I have yet to see a woman post back on this thread. I did write this to flame after all...and it worked. Goes to show that there are more men on Digg then women.
      • tyho, on 09/27/2008, -2/+1If by men you mean boys, I will agree on that. You did seem to stir things up, good job!
    • tyho, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1I'll defend women any day, but I'm not one. It's true we are very different, and that's what feminists never understand. They think we are just big hairy women, when as you seem to understand, they are fundamentally different.
      Frankly, women should thank their lucky stars we DO have such a powerful sex drive, otherwise we probably wouldn't give you the time of day. I love it the way it is, wouldn't change a thing.

      Blaming men for all societies ill's is not fair or intellectual. Men typically think in the macro or what is good for society, while women usually make decisions based on what is good for their families. Both are necessary I think, but I'm not opposed to women in power, if they have the right vision. It doesn't look like we will ever know what a society dominated by women would look like, so it's hard to prove or disprove your argument.

      I really don't see how religion is ruining everything in your mind. Most religions preach that men should get married and commit to one woman and raise a family. How does that differ with women goals? Men's instinct is to have as many sexual conquests as possible over the course of their lives, though I don't think it's a healthy goal. Religious men, it would seem, are good to find.

      "Ahh *****! Down with Humanity! " uh yeah, let's put YOU in charge.

      I think you are thoughtful but a little bit confused. Perhaps a few more years on the earth will take care of that.

      • jjacksonRIAB, on 09/28/2008, -1/+3Is that because you never got laid? Trick answer?

  • Tikkimann, on 09/27/2008, -6/+3This title is misleading: it makes people think that 90% of all women cheat. Really, it's saying that 90% of those women who DO cheat (almost certainly less than 90% of all) do it to look good.

  • mjc7373, on 09/27/2008, -0/+3I dugg this down because it reeks of shoddy journalism. This is about "a survey.....carried out by the Lakeside Shopping Centre". Yeah, solid academic credentials at the Lakeside Shopping Centre I'm sure. Next we'll hear what Staples employees are saying about the latest trends in Italian fashion design.
