Today, I was feeling unusually self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on makeup for the day. On my way to class, I passed some guys selling towels. One of them jeered, "Wanna be prettier? Buy a towel, and throw it over your face!" There goes my self-confidence. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML
Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML
Today, I was feeling abnormally self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on any makeup. The first thing my 7-year-old cousin said when she saw me was, "You look like my pet rat!" FML
Today, I went to the pool with my new white bathers. I felt really good about myself because everyone was staring at me until this hot guy came up to me and said "Dude, your bathers are see-through. You need to shave!" FML
Parenting styles may differ…
Today, it was my first day at my new high school. I put on a tiny bit of makeup, just some mascara, to feel more confident. I got in the car and my mom started yelling about how horrible my makeup is, basically calls me a slut for wearing it, and makes me take it off. I ended up crying in the bathroom on my first day. FML
Today, I went to buy some makeup. As I was checking out, the cashier said, "You're going to need more than that to cover up that face." FML
Today, a guy started complimenting me and calling me beautiful. Halfway through, he burst out laughing and said he couldn't do it. Who needs self confidence, anyway? FML
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML
Five bucks
Today, I walked into work feeling confident in my new outfit. It wasn’t until lunchtime that a colleague pointed out the price tag hanging from my skirt. I’d been flaunting my ass's price all morning. FML
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML

They're selling towels, probably on the sidewalk. Don't be upset they're no better than the trash you kicked in the gutter.

Sound like some shitty salesmen
Keyman1212 14
I bet that salesman uses those towels to clean up after jacking off, because he's so damn lonely.
boredblonde 17
That would definitely get sales going! ..not

Say something like: "Wanna get a life? Stop selling TOWELS !!!"

Shoulda set their towel stand on fire. I solve all my problems with fire.

They sell towels.... Therefore you shouldn't be to upset

Dude, makeup is for ugly chicks anyways. Au natural is always the best. Girls are hotter without it. If you need makeup to look pretty then you're probably fugly anyway.
nalia18 8
Dont worry. It was just to build his self confidence. He probubly does that all the time and wanted someone else to do it so he didnt seem like a total freak.
chell1894 13
Dude, stro88 you're dumb and you'd be doing everyone on fml a favor by deleting your account.

117 - he's right to a certain extent. if you need make-up to look pretty and think you can't look pretty without it then chances are you're not very pretty anyway and/or have self-esteem issues. I don't think you're necessarily ugly though if you think you can't look pretty without make-up but that's his opinion and he can say whatever he wants. don't get all butt-hurt over it.
StoryOfTheYear 15
117- Actually, I disagree with you. I Think stro88 is right about everything for the most part excluding the first sentence. I'd rather females not cake themselves with makeup and look so plastic it looks like a machine just shat them out onto a production line. Some is ok, but my preference in little to none.
anorexicbarbie 8
125 thank you for not being stupid. Some guys think there's only two ways to do makeup: none or caked. Again, thank you. On another note, I personally prefer girls with little makeup. I think it should be used to enhance facial features and good bone structure, not cover "flaws".
enonymous 9
I go full on Heath Ledger Joker for my makeup. Brings out the smile on my face even more
Confuciussay 6
130 - I think that is probably why they call it makeups and not coverups.
chell1894 13
Oh I'm not hurt by him at all. I rarely wear make up myself. I don't mask over what I look like. But his comments 9 put of 10 times are crude and very hard to understand. Most people on this site find him annoying. Just look at all of his other comments. And as well his profile is all about blow jobs. So he's a disgusting pig as well.
zakkyzebra 11
It's "self"-confidence for a reason...
Anubyte 0
Yes, makeup should be used to amplify good looking features. NOT to change the way you face looks. (unless it's costume makeup ofc)
MyLifeIsWierd 12
exactly.
penguinazul 13
If flaws are acne scars/breakouts, then I honestly don't see the problem with covering my "flaws". Otherwise, my skin is blotchy and unattractive.
StoryOfTheYear 15
Lol the irony in covering up acne spots with makeup. XD That's like trying to plug an oil Derrick with a drill.

That's so mean. FYL :(

Thank you, #20. people shouldn't have to change their appearance to feel beautiful.
flockz 20
but people will still change their appearance to fit in.

... Why were they selling towels?
rexgar2000 10
maybe cuts it's hot and need some towels? I don't know
iam_yummylicious 12
@20 - Wait till you have to wake up next to your aged soccer mom of a wife. Honestly I hear guys say this and then they make fun of a female's appearance. So obviously females are going to feel obligated to wear makeup. What a sham...

Make up is made to enhance beauty, not cover it up.
fymother 13
Technically that is sexual harassment (its legal definition doesn't limit it to sexual conduct but includes harassment [not necessarily ongoing] based on sex). Why should you have to wear make-up to be pretty, and by whose standards is pretty defined??
anongrl 2
What an asshole. Sorry op. :(
kings1fan 6
You really going to listen to a guy who sells towels? By the way I prefer girls without make up or light on make up
tylersign 11
I agree with 75. Stay yourself OP, don't hide behind makeup.

I ******* hate people like that. Really sorry that happened to you, OP...

u got dissed but i guess not everyone can be pretty without makeup
PrincessesCrown 17
Everyone is pretty with or without makeup. I admit some people look better with it on, but either way everyone is beautiful. so don't be an asshole.
ukrage 1
U really believe that everyone is aesthetically pleasing no matter how much acne, fat, scars, warts, or other unsightly features they have?
xMeganMayhem 6
I like how you type out "aesthetically," but you don't type out "you."
TheWindowLicker 13
I like how he(or she) thinks fat can be hidden with make up :D. That being directed at ukrage(101 I think).
TardxxxCake 4
126 you're a self-centered piece of shit.
slushpup9696 12
It's all subjective. I personally look 100x better without makeup. Of course, that makes sense because I'm a guy, but still...
JPChiQYaya 0
126 - why would it be a guy wearing make up?
PrincessesCrown 17
Yes 101 I do think everyone is beautiful no matter how scars, pimples, or worts he or she may have. Because beauty is everywhere. In gods eyes everyone is beautiful, and i feel the same way.
TheWindowLicker 13
134- no I'm not? Lol. And if you're going to be unnecessarily mean I don't think your profile picture should be a cute thing that says 'unconditional love'. 166- Some guys do wear make up, like some emo and scene kids xD. Not really the same as most girls, but they do wear it. And some in modeling might do the same, but I'm just guessing.

i just noticed how stupid my comment was.

Beauty is subjective so OP is attractive to some people, that guy is just being an asswipe
alex6946 10
Screw them! Who sells towels?
lovelydarlings 6
Exactly! Op you should've said,"you want to be a real man? Well get a real job instead of selling towels!"
abc123cimsmart 3
Hey watch yourself my mom sells them for a living!! Jk
SadinSherman 16
Well it's a job,not everyone can afford to be picky
sunrise1234 3
Yeah really, don't listen to a guy who sells friggin' towels, at school. whatta mofo.
flockz 20
the shamwow guy sells towels... really really shitty towels.
hotPinklipstick 24
I'm assuming it was high school boys selling towels for a fundraiser for the athletic department. Either way there is no reason whatsoever for him to behave like that. OP don't let it get to you. I'm sure you are beautiful, inside and out. :)
white16sox 19
56 if they are high school boys they are acting pretty much like one. I would know cause I go to an all guys high school.

Yeah, she did. She used it to strangle the fucktard that's one of the reasons young women feel so dejected about their physical appearance.

Wow. I'm a guy. BUT I'm a classic guy. I'm not a douche like every other guy now. I woulda just probably been all quiet and shy. Cause I'm like that. Still sorry FYL

Cool story bro... Unfortunately, 'classic guys' do not pick up girls on FML. Ever.
HeavyScout 0
Neither do guys who are total dicks. Ever. And by the way, why would you want to "pick up" a girl on FML anyway?

Yeah OP, if you were that confident in yourself then you shouldn't listen to what other people say(: You probably are beautiful.
