There are a lot of reasons, some of which include: even out skin tone (particularly on TV), they like it, societal conditioning to hallmarks of “beauty”, enhances natural features (think mascara), they want to, hides perceived imperfections, creates a character to hide behind, in some workplaces it is required eg because the store sells makeup or being made up is seen as more professional.

They certainly do.

But I’d probably still prefer the photo on the left, even if it had the same lighting, background and facial expression as on right.

When you apply, you choose four different subjects of interest. They called me a week after I applied, asked about those four subjects and why I wanted to do them, what was my interest. She said she’d call me again in a month to tell me what my subject would be, but that month was up a month ago. I’m assuming filming has been delayed due to the current covid outbreak; we talked about border closures and quarantine etc. She said filming depended on the changing situation.

Behind the scenes, the researchers have to make sure there’s enough info about your subject and whether it has been assigned to anyone else.

1st subject: I know a lot about, but it’s popular so it may have been assigned to someone else.
2nd subject: I know a lot, but not encyclopaedic. I couldn’t think of anything else to put down.
3rd subject: I don’t think the researchers will be able to find much info on unless they read my uni essay.
4th subject: if I can’t get my 1st choice, I want this one.

You can appear on both like the teacher from my boys’ school did, but expect Tom Gleeson to give you a hard time about it, even if you win MM.

As for getting short-listed, it’s not what you know but who you know. I hope you told them you know Quarrion.

Subject: re: why do (a lot of) ladies tend to wear makeup

I recently came up with a new hypothesis for why a lot of women wear perfume.

Perfume, as all men know, tastes awful. It’s a real turn-off. The scent is also pretty ghastly. Just walking therough the perfume aisle at a departmenrt store gives me an instant headache. If a woman really wanted to attract a man she’d choose a perfume that smells of food.

So my first hypothesis, from 40 years ago, was that women wear perfume to stop men from kissing them, particularly to stop men from kissing them on the neck, to stop the emarassment of having a hickey.

Then I realised that womens purfume contains male pheromones. Such as musk. Not female pheromones. It’s said that women cease to smell their own perfume in a time measued in milliseconds

So my second hypothesis, from 20 years ago, was that women wear perfume perfume that smells like males to mimic having just have had sex with a male. This is a flag to other men around that she’s just had sex with a man and so “I’m cheap”, in order to attract love’em and leave’ems.

Then recently I put togther that alcohol is absorbed through the skin, and the most expensive perfume is the perfume with the highest alcohol content. Even using alcohol hand washes for covid gives me a slight alcohol high.

So my third hypothesis is that putting perfume on is a woman’s way of making herself pre-drunk before going out. The placement of perfume above major blood vessels of the throat, and possibly wrists and elbows maximises the rate of absorption through the skin. The more expensive the perfume, the drunker she is.

Then recently I put togther that alcohol is absorbed through the skin, and the most expensive perfume is the perfume with the highest alcohol content. Even using alcohol hand washes for covid gives me a slight alcohol high.

So my third hypothesis is that putting perfume on is a woman’s way of making herself pre-drunk before going out. The placement of perfume above major blood vessels of the throat, and possibly wrists and elbows maximises the rate of absorption through the skin. The more expensive the perfume, the drunker she is.

do homosexual women wear perfume?

Some do.

I recently came up with a new hypothesis for why a lot of women wear perfume.

Perfume, as all men know, tastes awful. It’s a real turn-off. The scent is also pretty ghastly. Just walking therough the perfume aisle at a departmenrt store gives me an instant headache. If a woman really wanted to attract a man she’d choose a perfume that smells of food.

So my first hypothesis, from 40 years ago, was that women wear perfume to stop men from kissing them, particularly to stop men from kissing them on the neck, to stop the emarassment of having a hickey.

Then I realised that womens purfume contains male pheromones. Such as musk. Not female pheromones. It’s said that women cease to smell their own perfume in a time measued in milliseconds

So my second hypothesis, from 20 years ago, was that women wear perfume perfume that smells like males to mimic having just have had sex with a male. This is a flag to other men around that she’s just had sex with a man and so “I’m cheap”, in order to attract love’em and leave’ems.

I guess I’m saying that there are some pretty easy ways to dispute at least part of the hypotheses

Meh.

Humans, both men and women have used perfumes for thousands of years. For various reasons, partly because they thought disease was caused by bad air, and partly because … they stank. The fashion of men and women wearing different scents is a fairly recent phenomenon. Put it down to fashion in Europe in the last couple of hundred years.

Now I’m second-guessing myself, especially after getting Rustic and Morrie mixed up a while ago.

Quarrion is beclf, right?

No.. two different, yet equally amazing, people. Bec was on Hard Quiz – won it IIRC

Aus marsupials. I remember she didn’t get a question right that was about pademelons.

Yes, more specifically, I think her subject was macropods. Now I need to know her other jandles though. If one of them wasn’t Quarrion, what was it?

Yep, I know the first two, but I never knew beclf was also Jagwoman, and I don’t remember calura at all. I thought there was another referencing a species, but I guess you would know it.
