Acne

There’s no beating around the bush -- breakouts aren’t sexy. Unless the lights are off, a big, red blemish can cool the mood fast. Instead of putting your energy toward applying foundation, focus it on clearing up your skin. Men would trade in a made-up face for a flawless complexion any day of the week. To prevent zits, always wash your face before bed. To further avoid pores from clogging, slough away dead cells with an exfoliator two times a week. If a stubborn pimple persists, dab it with a drying potion containing acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide (try Kate Somerville Anti Bac Clearing Lotion, $39).

Wow, if I dated a guy that was this superficial, he'd outta there real quick...

This makes it seem like we're all at the man's mercy and we have to try to be as desirable as possible to get him to like us. Kinda seems like an article you would read in 1950, not 2011.

I think the person that wrote this article should be fired.

This is nonsense. All guys are different and find different things attractive or not attractive. But I don't know any guy that would turn down a girl because of frizzy hair or a few pimples or short fingernails. DIRTY fingernails or poor hygiene maybe I can see, but there are a lot of guys who don't like long fingernails, or think they're gaudy. This article is incredibly superficial. . .

I guess you really want ladies to feel bad

Hmmm, well I'm glad my hubby was able to look past my big nose, frizzy hair and spotty acne. And I'm also glad I didn't meet any guy who was immediately turned off by any of those things. Very superficial article. Tisk Tisk.
