@Amisha,
While a woman may have certain appearance oriented hang-ups, which is healthy in a
way, like being self-conscious about many other things; but what do you care about
male aesthetic preferences if you are not overtly anxious to transfer the power to
your beau’s hands? And there starts the appeasement series of cold expectations
which at a later date becomes one’s crying hoarse of sexism, harassment and
etc. Who do we blame?

I’m not sure if I am in the right place or not but maybe you can help me. I am not
sure if the comments section is the right place to put this but I don’t see any advice column
address listed. So if I have put it in the wrong place I apologise but perhaps you could advise me on the right place in the website.

My name is Amisha and I am a 17 year girl. Am not sure exactly how to start lol. Well
okay, its best maybe to just come out and say it . I have always been a tomboy and recently
I met an absolutely gorgeous and totally sweet guy. But he doesn’t seem to think that much about me He just to want to be friends. All my friends think we make a good match but they say the problem is that I look and behave like a guy and that I need to look and behave in a more feminist way.

They said that guys like girls who are more feminist and not so manly. So I need your help desperately – how can I look and behave in a more feminist way? What makeup and clothes should I get? I’ve been to three different makeup counters and can’t decide on what products to buy. How will I ever look as feminist as the ladies behind the makeup counters if I don’t even know where to start?

It is just such a high mountain to climb. I just need a few pointers in the right direction. I can’t really afford to buy expensive Cosmo or Vogue magazines for tips so I thought that since this site is for Indian feminists you might be able to help. To start what is the best foundation and blush products for Indian skin?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ams
