/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I think men aren't observant at all.
For example, if you post a picture of a very skinny girl next to a girl who's not even close to fat, but is markedly not as skinny as the other girl, most men will unironically be tricked into thinking that the average girl is "fat", and they will describe her as such. If it was a picture of her alone, they'd look at you like you were crazy if you called her "fat", but they can easily be fooled by a particularly skinny girl being placed next to her.
The same goes for makeup. They'll swear up and down that they can tell the difference between a woman wearing no makeup versus natural makeup, then they'll post photos of girls wearing eyeliner, foundation, light-colored lipstick, etc to say "See? Girls shouldn't wear makeup". They think night/Instathot makeup is the only type of makeup.
Also, they don't even realize when an image of a woman's body is heavily Photoshopped images. They won't even notice if someone's door is curving right into their waist or if their ass is in another dimension, and if you point these things out, 60% of the time, they will rush to her defense and accuse you of either being jealous or of "sour grapes" (depending on what gender they think you are). I've seen all of these things happen multiple times.
It pisses me off because men are generally naive as fuck, don't notice basic things and are very easily mislead, and yet women allow their opinions on looks to mean anything. The only guy I value the aesthetic opinion of is my boyfriend (because I do care what he thinks, obviously), and even in that case I'm more like "Understandable, have a nice day" than "Yes, let me change for you".
