    Very true. One of my pet peeves is reading about female characters who, unlike other women, don’t wear makeup and spend all their time doing nerdy hobbies only and never do anything at all to take care of their appearance because that’s a waste of time… But their hair is always shiny and bouncy and they are fit and their skin is smoooooth and their boobs are perky (of course they are!) and, most importantly, they always fall for the main character for absolutely no good reason.

        And she thinks it’s endearing when the main character touches her face to wipe it away, despite not knowing him, or inviting him to touch her. She has no boundaries.

      The perfect hair and makeup ruins every zombie movie for me. Like, you’ve been camped out for three days in an abandoned warehouse surrounded by undead. But your hair is immaculate!

      Ironically, I know a trans man for whom a lot of that was actually true. Until he started T, his skin was crystal clear (smooth as silk, if you don’t count body hair), looked amazing without makeup, and even today he still has the perkiest tits I’ve ever seen. Talk about a waste - I know women who would kill for tits half as perky as his, and they’re utterly wasted on a dude.
