Got a big first date? Maybe try NOT getting ready for it. (???)
The hot new dating trend for women is to show up for first dates without doing their hair and make-up. Like, "Here's the real me. Take it or leave it."
It's supposed to filter out the jerks and help you zero in on the ones who actually like you for you. Plus, guys can get ready for a date in five minutes if they want. So, why should women have to spend an hour?
Some women are even taking it a step further by gradually ramping up the amount of make-up they wear on second and third dates. The idea is you only start dolling yourself up once they've proven they're worth the effort.
Another reason it's catching on is Gen Z'ers are just less likely to go on classic first dates, like dinner and a movie. They're more likely to do casual stuff like hiking, where make-up seems kind of unnecessary.
