I'm trying to think of when I've found lipstick attractive, and nothing's coming up. And I <i>especially</i> dislike the darker lipstick that looks like someone dug the wearer up out of the graveyard. (And you're right, osculation doesn't even come into the question. :P) J: No worries. :) Rikker: I guess my tastes are just far, far away from that bow tie mentality.

It looks good with the right outfit as part of the total package, but it's not attractive and/or looks silly if you wear it every day. Kissing someone wearing lipstick is gross, but then I know that's not a factor in your opinion, Ben. :P Lipstick’s like wearing a bow tie.

I'd much rather have flavor than color, though, thank you very much. :) Emily: Well, what I like best (and this is just my personal preference, remember) is normal, natural lips. I think that's the most beautiful of the lot. Lip gloss doesn't bother me if it's not overly glossy. (Do lip glosses come in different colors? If so, then this next bit applies to them as well.) I suppose I don't mind lipstick if it's very close to skin tone in color. It's just the redness of some lipsticks that bothers me, I think. (And there are some unnatural colors that just look gross.) So, in order of preference (and woo, look at me acting as if my preferences actually matter! Ha!), I'd say no lipstick/gloss, then natural-looking gloss, then natural-looking lipstick, and everything else down in Hades. :P And no, I don't really think I have any right to dictate what women ought to wear, and if all of you girls out there want to go on wearing red lipstick, more power to you. All I'm saying is that I find it repulsive. :) Holly: You're welcome. :) I'd recommend reading Fulghum's books -- he's good at getting in touch with what matters in life. And he's often rather funny, too. (He used to be a minister, by the way.) Mali: Glad to hear it. :)

I hope that others will take the time to read it. Thanks! On a side note, do you ever wear Chapstick? Chapstick is a man's lipstick... It's just that brown or black and blue don't look good on guys' faces so the manufactures made it flavored instead. Color/flavor - marketing gimmicks that's all:) Ben, I really enjoyed the Robert Fulghum link. I hope that others will take the time to read it. Thanks!
