  1. Jes says:

    it should really only take her 0 minutes to “get beautiful” if she is already beautiful.

    Also, the axes should be switched. X axis is input, Y axis is output.

  2. Jes says:

    also, this is really shallow… there’s nothing wrong with a girl spending a few hours to get ready for a date, under the right circumstances.

    • Homer says:

      4 hours is reasonable? Really?

      • Jes says:

        I said a few, I didn’t say four. And I said under the right circumstances (i.e. special occasions)

        • haha says:

          lulz. A few would mean at least 3… maybe 2 if you want to be conservative.
          SO, Sorry! spending 2-3 hrs to get ready is never OK for a date. You’d be dumped before you even started the date.

          • Pablo says:

            If you’re spending 4 hours, you’re not ‘getting beautiful’, you’re sculpting.

            • sevenmarie says:

              yeah because ladies hair just does itself apparently. it doesnt take the better part of an hour wash, dry, curl etc. your hair ALONE not to mention picking out your outfit, doing your makeup, actually getting dressed (wrestling with pantyhose, they NEVER just glide on like in the damn movies.)

              this coming from men who if they put on something other than grubby jeans they are ‘dressed up’

              • Zoid says:

                You have to wrestle with you pantyhose? I’ve never had a problem with it. Maybe you should buy some new ones.

              • TXUPINAZO says:

                eh, I agree with them, and I don’t expect women to put any more time into getting themselves ready than I do. I think it’s weird. I mean, I understand taking forever if it’s prom or your wedding or something like that, but otherwise, I’d rather have the girl spend the time with me rather than the make-up.

                • Jes says:

                  I have the worst stick-straight hair and it takes 2 hours to curl… so by a few I really mean like 2 or 3 hours. But I don’t do it because I think it’s worth my time, I do it because I know my boyfriend loves it, and although he doesn’t demand or require it, I like looking my best for him.

                  And I certainly don’t do it for every date. Like, when we go out to a super nice dinner like, 4 times a year.

                  I will agree that unless you are doing something crazy with your hair, it shouldn’t take 2 hours to put on makeup.

                  • Steph says:

                    I think you have the right idea. I like doing things my husband likes too.. but yeah, spending 4 hours getting ready for just a regular date is insane. I mean.. if the girl WANTS to do it, then whatever. But I like to look like myself when I go out.

                    If a guy wants a completely fake barbie of a girlfriend, I suppose it should take her 4 hours each date. But what can he complain about? Most guys MIGHT shower and get dressed before they go on a date. 15-20 minutes tops. 30 if they style their hair with styling gel and spray on some cologne.

                    I don’t like this chart because to me it’s basically some dude complaining that girls aren’t fake enough and should spend half their day attempting to look like the coke-addicts of Hollyweird.

                    Whatever floats your boat I guess.

              • Crystal Kyuuketsuki says:

                Wash and dry hair, put on clothes, and then makeup.

                I think that’d take me about an hour tops.

                *sigh* glam women -.-

                • maerynpearl says:

                  I agree… even the times when I am getting *glammed* up for my honey (for example next month when he gets home from being gone for 11 months) it doesn’t take more than an hour and half. 45 minutes for hair (freshly washed, dried, curled and put into Liberty Rolls, which only takes forever because Im not good at them on my own head) 15 for makeup (assuming Im so excited Im shaking and have to keep reapplying my eyeliner) 5 minutes to get dressed and 25 minutes to calm my nerves so i dont look like a complete wreck even after all that work.

                • Steph says:

                  Exactly.

                  Especially because glam women spend half their night RE-applying make up, constantly checking themselves out in mirrors.. all that BS.

                  I’d rather be me, and on special dates, be me but a little more dressed up.
                  I don’t want to look like a cake-faced clown/whore everyday.

                  Glad there are other sane women out there :)

              • random says:

                You do realize men don’t really notice all of that, i only care if your with me, don’t really care how great you look as long as its moderately decent.

              • forge says:

                I got the solution to that problem: don’t ever go anywhere that requires #*^(%$*!!! pantyhose. Or move to South Florida where you’d have to be insane to even own any.

          • Jes says:

            Um, have you ever been on a date?

            If a girl wants to impress you so much that she’s willing to spend 2 hours getting ready JUST so you appreciate it, she’s worth the wait.

            I’ve been on dates that I spent 2-3 hours preparing for and I certainly haven’t gotten dumped for it. I’m not saying it should take 2 hours for every date. But special dates, it’s no unreasonable at all.

            • not registered says:

              i love my girlfriend, wether she is made up or not.

              if you sleep with your boyfriend, do stand up 3 hours before him for not being dumped? i wouldn’t believe it.

              i appreciate the effort she puts into it, but i think she’s doing it more for her (and those who will talk about her) than for me …

              • Jes says:

                if she’s spending time on herself for herself, what? People can’t do things for themselves once in a while, because they enjoy it? Believe it or not, some women enjoy spending hours curling/straightening their hair, or taking long showers/baths, or picking out clothes. I don’t feel like anyone should feel judged, or like they’re a terrible person who is going to get dumped for this particular reason when that isn’t true. Some people take their time, and that’s fine for them.

    • Phygar says:

      You’ve obviously interpreted the graph wrong. It says that the girls become less interested in spending that much time, and possibly less interested in you, so they don’t try as hard to look nice.

  3. Basementcat says:

    So if she does her makeup, she is a virgin?

    Yea that sounds about righ…eh… WRONG

  4. a*j says:

    There should be some type of reverse about the number of farts a guy hold back relative to the number of times you’ve dated him. . .

    • Mouse says:

      This ^^

    • haha says:

      but holding farts back is not good for you =(

    • Thompson says:

      But girls hold in farts too when first dating. Believe it or not, women DO fart.

      • Anonymous says:

        Pfff, I just blow it and blame it on the guy behind me.

        • Steph says:

          Awesomely immature.

          My husband was scared the first time he farted around me on like our second date. We were getting out of his truck to go inside and he said it just happened.

          All I could do was laugh, because I could see how shocked and mortified he was.

          PEOPLE FART. BIG FREAKING DEAL.

          Now, I don’t hold anything in, however, I don’t do it in large groups or around people. I’ll just walk to a different room because nobody likes to smell that.

  5. madamesofi says:

    You’ve DATED her for 6 years? No wonder she spends less time getting ready. You get what you give buddy.

  6. madamesofi says:

    Oh dumb me, read the whole thing before commenting…got it. TIMES dated not YEARS dated…got it…sigh…how do I delete my comments in a sad attempt to redeem myself?

  7. gloworm says:

    You fail for dating a girl who needs 4 hours worth of makeup to be beautiful. Makeup washes off.

    • forge says:

      Or for that matter a girl who’s beautiful but thinks she needs to prep for 4 hours. That’s a little sad. Especially grown-up girls that know grown-up guys are cool with clean clothes, a fresh face and if it’s like, the 4th or 5th date, maybe some lacy underthings.

  8. moi says:

    this should be the number of times she changes compared to the what number date it is. date one in a span of 4 hours should be ten times (this includes standing in front of a mirror and testing out various ridiculous poses). date six would be zero, wearing the same clothes that you wore all day to go out.

  9. sane person says:

    The end result is still the same though. Needs a third line showing how attractive she is while “beautifying” herself.

  10. Aaaaargh says:

    I was almost stunned by the one who posted this graph, who, in contrast to 90% of the people who post here, seemed to show understanding of graphs by using a logartithmic scale.

    Almost, that was. Seemed to be coincidence anyway that the first five values of the y-axis were logarithmic :P

  11. Taz says:

    If the time she spends GETTING beautiful is in direct proportion to the time she spends LOOKING beautiful, I think you might say it’s been worth it.

  12. lilithtn says:

    Count me as another who wants to see a graph of guys’ prep time, consideration of experience, etc, against time together.

    • Nash says:

      I can only speak for myself, but for me it would be a constant. In my case it takes about 30-60 minutes to get ready (not beautiful, that will never happen), which is including shower, fixing my mohawk, getting dressed and everything. Course, I don’t date, so I’m just basing this on what I usually do when I go out. Would be the same though.

  13. Paranoimia says:

    If it takes her 4 hours to get beautiful, I don’t wanna wake up next to her in the morning when it’s all worn off! ;-)

  14. Stephanie says:

    Yes, girls are hilarious, spending four hours “getting beautiful”. It’s funny how they feel the need to do such silly things, and all because some guys point out that when they come out not looking their best, that they only spent “five minutes” getting ready, and kind of look like it. Haha. Oh, funny woman and their self images.

  15. Michelle says:

    Hmm, well I’m a girl and quite frankly I enjoy long showers or baths before going out on a date. I like to take my time because i should need to rush to get ready, but still that takes a maximum of 2 maaaybe 3 hours. I agree that guys who want girls who spend 4 hours getting ready are definitely in for a huge surprise come morning when all of that is gone. Also, the girls that spend that much time with getting ready, usually aren’t very comfortable with how they look naturally. So if you want a relationship with this girl, prepare for neediness. If its for an extremely important date though I’m sure that’s normal.

    • Michelle says:

      Shouldn’t* sorry

    • Steph says:

      Yeah. If the guy wants a girl to look like that and the girl feels she needs to look like that to fall in love, they’ve got some major issues coming their way.

      That’s how my cousins relationship was. Then she had a baby and didn’t bother with makeup anymore because she was too busy being a Mom and her boyfriend cheated. So they got MARRIED to try to fix it. He cheated again with a “pretty” girl. So now they are having their second child [on purpose!] because they feel another kid will bring them closer together.

      Makes sense, right? :P

  16. wtf says:

    lesbian date?

  17. Heath says:

    I will note that while the title of the graph is “Time she spends getting beautiful”, the Y-axis is actually titled “Time she spends preparing herself for the date”. That’s much more appropriate, I think, and not really unreasonable (unless, of course, the girl doesn’t have four hours to prepare. Apparently the hypothetical girl doesn’t have a job and can afford to spend four hours preparing). For a first date, I would spend a little more time ensuring that I didn’t look like those bingo ladies with lipstick all over their face and bright blue eyeshadow up to the brows; by the fifth date I would hope that I’d be more comfortable with him and less worried about the impression that I’d be making.

  18. Amy says:

    Yay! Not all women take forever to get ready for a date. Personally with me what you see is what you get because it’s who I am. I’m not gonna put on special make up and do my hair all extra special cuz I’m pretty sure that’s not the woman you asked out. I probably didn’t look glamorous when you asked me out, so it means I was good enough to start with. Besides, it’s always best to be yourself.

    • Aaaaargh says:

      What if you’re having a blind date? :P

      But totally agreed, usually people look good enough without preparation (save that 5 minutes to make sure you don’t have an out-of-bed look or green stuff between your teeth).

  19. papajon0s1 says:

    Ah… but you see, you women do rule the world. In a recent poll asking “If you could have won a World Series ring or have this super uber-hot model for a wife, what would you choose?” 74% of men chose the super hot model.

    All I’m saying ladies is that most men are extremely visual. In the layer of superficial lust-dom, you women win every time. It’s a gift from God, I’d use my my boobs if I could! 4 hours or no. Just sayin’, that’s all. I’ll creep back into the interwebs now….

    • Nash says:

      There is something very wrong with 74% of men.

      • The Wizard says:

        Yes, that they aren’t gay.

        • Nash says:

          No, that’s not it.

          • Aaaaargh says:

            What if you don’t care for a world series ring? I usually don’t like the skinny-but-not-so-smart-model-types but I don’t care about a world series ring either so well, it’s the model then…

            If you would add a third option “a girl who is moderately beautiful but really nice and has exactly your kind of humor and interests” I think it would become obvious that men really don’t care about models either (save people with too much money, there seems to be a correlation between the wealth of a man and the number of tabloids his wife has been in)

      • forge says:

        No joke, keep the stupid model, I want a real human woman and not some fantasy ideal.

  20. queeno says:

    an obvious point is being missed here. I try to get ready before my date gets to my house. So if it’s gonna take 2 hours I start getting ready 2 hours and 15 minutes before he’s due to arrive and 90% of the time leave when he gets to my door. No biggie – it doesn’t affect him.

    • queeno says:

      I should probably note that I don’t actually wear makeup so it usually takes about 10 minutes to get ready – get dressed. If hair’s being done then about half an hour but usually it’s already done so it’s more a case of up or down? Very low maintenence

  21. Sussy says:

    Depends entirely on how much energy I have. I’ll put extra effort into my looks if I have energy, otherwise, you’ll have to deal with the simple beauty.

  22. ... says:

    is this seriously still going on? drop it already. the graph was made for a laugh, not a bitch fest.

    • Steph says:

      If it was made for a laugh, it should have been funny. It was made because some dude is pissed because his self-centered girlfriend doesn’t clown herself up anymore.

  23. Jason says:

    You girls don’t get this graph. It’s not that it’s wrong, or on the other hand necessary to get ready–it’s that girls get prepped up sooooo much in the beginning to impress the guy, then get lazy and complacent. Once again, I’m not saying girls should always prepare a lot–I’m saying it’s kind of fake on the girl’s part to get soo cute in the beginning and then when they know they supposedly have you they stop doing it.

    • Oh really? says:

      Oh yes, because they’re trying to trick you, not make a good first impression. And god forbid they get comfortable with you after a while. ]=

  24. Lily says:

    After 6 dates, she should be beautiful the second her bleary eyes open and she struggles out of bed.

    Although, bad examples – the just-out-of-bed look IS pretty nice…

  25. fry says:

    It can take me more than four hours to get ready for a date. In fact, it often takes me days.

    -In addition to my regular full body laser treatments, I schedule waxing two days before my date to avoid horrid red dots. Sometimes I’ll do a diamond dust dermabraision over my body for a good exfoliation.

    -One day before my date, I get a tan touch up and then bake for a few minutes to get a nice glow. NEVER more than a light tan. I also get my hair stripped and conditioned to have managable “day old” hair.

    -On the morning of, I’ll hydrate for 15 minutes and run a light detox.

    -At noonish, I usually set my hair unless I plan to straighten it later.

    -Two hours before, I begin my hair and eyebrows.

    -One hour before, I don my shirt/dress/whatever and THEN start my makeup. Makeup is usually very simple, thankfully. I like to have an hour for the look to “soften” a bit.

    Then I just chill out, watch Family Guy and have a Guiness while waiting for the guy to pick me up.

    I love taking care of myself.
