Is it normal to be too lazy to be a girl?

I'm 23 and most girls my age know how to apply makeup, I don't. They are really concerned about what skin products to use, I'm not. They know how to style their hair, I don't. They can dye their own hair or like to often, I don't. I think you get the idea. I'm just really lazy to do and learn all those things but something that makes me even lazier, is, not to sound conceited but, I'm naturally attractive. So far, my face is acne free and I get a lot of compliments that my skin is really smooth and clear and I'm like "Thanks...I don't even put anything on it lol but maybe I should start to to prevent future problems..." My hair is naturally shiny and sleek? Idk but I haven't dyed it and I'm not very confident about styling it. I prefer someone else to do it for me. But just on a casual day, I get compliments that my hair is so nice and again, I'm like "yeah its just like that..." lol. So now that I'm getting older, I feel like maybe I should start learning how to take care of myself a little more even if I have been blessed. But I'm totally clueless as to what works and what doesn't. My roommates in college were all younger than me and they were more familiar with all these girly things but looked at me like this girly girl. So it's not like I'm this tomboy looking girl but don't judge a book by its cover pretty much. They would slowly find out I'm not as girly as they thought and one of them would do my makeup for me who was like 2 yrs younger than me. But I know as soon as I walk in, I look like this chick who spends hours getting ready when really, it doesn't take me more than like 10 min. One cause I don't need to and I'm saying that in the most humble way and two idk what to do or use.

    Vanity isn't a good quality. Although I kind of know where you are coming from. I am lazy when it comes to girly stuff. I have better things to do. But really, i am just indifferent. And I don't need it. But I know what treatment is good for my skin. All those products are bullshit, it just depends on what you need. Aloe, vitamin E, almond oil, and coconut oil bla bla, not really here to tell you what is good for skin. But you don't have to have bad skin to benefit from healthy habits.

    And you are 23. I hope you have good skin. I hate to see how you cope with crows feet at 28. Your attitude may change by then.

    • It's not vanity at all. I tried to explain this in the most humble but yet honest way.

        Well, I wasn't convinced.

    Don't start putting crap on your face now if you don't need to. The only thing I would suggest is pure organic vitamin e oil for moisturizer. Foundation is just horrible and it sounds like you don't need it. I have acne scars and I don't even use it except for special occasions. I wash my face with baking soda a couple times a week and dab it with witch hazel to lift any dirt then moisturize with organic coco butter and a little vitamin e. So far that's working very well for me, but if just water is working for you by all means just wash your face with water. Everyone is different. Single ingredient moisturizers are good for preventing wrinkles though. Just look at your parents' skin to predict any problems you might have in the future. You're very lucky you have good skin. Don't ruin it with all the chemicals most girls put on their faces.

    • That's another thing! I'm scared of touching and ruining my skin cause I already have good skin and cause I'm not aware of what works. I really want to get a facial but just knowing someone rubbing their hands on me scares me but I guess I will just have to suck it up and take care of it before it's too late.

    "Being a girl" is an archaic gender role that is no longer applicable to this day and age. You are free to be who you are and do what you want as are men.

    Yes, it's normal.

    I would hate to be a girl for these same exact reasons. It seems like a lot of work and a waste of time, not to mention very tiring.

    I don't know how to put on make up or style my hair, so I don't know how time consuming it is and how much effort it requires. >.>;

    I guess learning how to do basic stuff could come in handy for special occasions, though. Anyway, I think your situation is normal.
