>>55123969Yeah, thinking about it, it's really always the 'fancy aesthetique' stuff that ends up being silly or too much and that I feel like girls get tricked with spending too much on.
I'm reminded of one time when my ex got some fancy makeup that used non-traditional and noticeable colors and asked me what I thought. A small part of me did recognize she looked a bit goofy objectively, but honestly, I was head over heels for her so I really wasn't yes manning when I said I thought she looked good. It gave off a bit of a bad girl Harley Quinn vibe but this was like... wayyyy before Suicide Squad came out. So it was like she had that aesthetic before that aesthetic was a thing. Bad girl clussy wasn't on the menu.
She was really happy about it until both her brother made fun of her pretty viciously and said she looked like a clown. Then she took it out on me because I 'lied' to her. I still feel kinda bad about it in retrospect, but weirdly not mostly because we got in a small fight about it, but at the time I was a little gaslit in the relationship so I actually felt guilty about it and how much her feelings got hurt by her brother.
