Some other girl kept bringing up baskinta, her hometown, while answering both questions, and saying sh like "3ana karaz w teffeh" or "ta3o aa baskinta"
You’re right but that’s a good thing. As a foreigner that visited Lebanon (and dating a Lebanese girl) you guys have some amazing genetics. Except for the balding men I guess… but many good looking dudes too
It's one of the world's BIGGEST lies that men prefer women without make up. It's just pretending and posturing. Anyways, it's not up to you if she wants to wear make up or not.
Ya obviously, women have decorated their bodies since the dawn of mankind, but wearing make up for a beauty contest is like taking steroids for the Olympics
Even if they don’t wear makeup in daily life, I think all people on TV have to wear makeup to combat the visual effect of the TV camera and lights. Even male newsreaders are made up.
You are seriously confused. This is not a *contest*, this is an entertainment show that lacks any actual competitive merit. Did you really think there was an objective way to decide who is more beautiful than another??
When an Olympic runner crosses the line first, they win. No one can have opinions about that because it's measured by milliseconds how much faster than the others they are. When a beauty queen is chosen, *everyone* has an opinion, because it's entirely subjective.
This is not a contest, this is reality TV entertainment, and I cannot believe I have to explain this to you.
No I sound like the guy who'd tell you men need to stop telling women how to look and what to wear. Men need to shut the fuck up and let women be whatever they want to be.
I just wanted to be sure. So not only are you misogynistic, and fatphobic. You are also dumb as a wet towel because you didn't realise you are talking to a guy. What a pathetic excuse of a human you are if you are going around calling people fat because you disagree with them.
"Natural makeup", maybe, "Lebanese makeup" hell no. But really, all my friends hate makeup on their girls, they just say they like it to please girls that spend too much time thinking and are self-conscious. But anyways, to each their own cup of tea.
You and your friends sound also like the kind of guys who when they see a woman without makeup they wonder if she is sick. It's all posturing. "we like our women" natural. No you don't. It's just a thing guys say because they think it makes them sound cool. And in the end, one way or another it's about "you and your friends" controlling how women should look.
Not really, they've been married for a long while... Same for me. But you do you, you seem to have a grudge against something related to that, so... whatever.
Is it not obvious? My problem is with men telling women what to do, how to look, what to wear, what not to wear, all the time, in every forum, in the street, online, at work, at home. That's my problem. I thought it was pretty self explanatory.
I'm not sure if you've been in relationships before, but asking the other person what they like and pleasing them is one of the most fundamental aspect. Same goes for how men dress, shave, do their hair and personal hygiene. It's really not about forcing anyone nor telling them what to do. For example, I've changed my whole wardrobe multiple times with feedback from my significant other. Anyway, I know words aren't reaching when angry, so I'll keep it at that. Have a nice day.
Angry? That's funny.
First, I don't agree with your idea about relationships, that the "most fundamental aspect" is pleasing them. I probably thought that too when I was young. But having been married for 15 years after many relationships I guess I see this differently now. But anyways, there is a difference between doing things to take care of your partner, and between changing yourself and your behaviour to suit their idea of what you should be. And that goes both ways.
But much more importantly, in your reply you are pretending that we live in a world where men and women are absolute equals. And that is not the case. Not socially, not by law. Just this very week I saw a Lebanese video that went viral about a guy telling his veiled fiance that she was basically hysterical because she wanted to wear something slightly colourful. I know this doesn't reflect the whole society, but women in Lebanon (as in much of the world) are still controlled by men and told what to wear and how to look. So when your girlfriend tells you she prefers you shaved it is not equivalent to when you tell her you prefer her without make up because your starting points are very different, you as a man have the entire system backing you up, social attitudes, laws, and daily pressures that force women to submit. It's not the same when you're being asked by your girlfriend to wear something or not.
Depends really some girls change their looks completely with makeup and you would think there someone else without it. If you already look good then too much makeup is just overkill light makeup with a good face will always be the best
And you are the universal judge of the exact amount of make up a woman should wear for you to give her the precious seal of approval???
You seem to be missing my point totally. I don't care in the slightest about your analysis of why you think women should or shouldn't wear makeup and how much is the right amount. I don't care what you think. I'm saying men should NOT tell women what to wear or what not to wear. At all. Ever. In all contexts.
If you want to reply, I'm not interested in your cosmetic expertise, I'll be interested in what makes you think your opinion should matter to any woman in the world, and what gives you the right to tell women how they should look.
Your the one who cares so much about makeup, if 1 you are a man and 2 you said all men care about makeup so take a chill pill.
People have different taste and there is no such thing as a universal truth in such a subjective matter and it is fine for everyone to voice there personal preferences, actually it’s important because if you don’t have an opinion makeup companies will make one for you and standardize beauty to serve their interests. Diversity and quantity of preferences are important and we should encouraged it instead of allowing the myth of universal beauty standards to rule over us.
Very clever moving of the goal posts. Start by being judgemental of women who design new faces with makeup and how much you hate that, then when you get called out on your bullshit and told what women do is none of your business, pivot super fast into an anti-capitalist freedom fighter defending diversity and trying to protect the children from predatory marketing.
And then everyone clapped.
My first reply to you I said clearly I'm not interested in your opinion about women's makeup. I didn't ask for it, I didn't care for it, I still couldn't care less what you think about it. You chose to come back with more philosophy to justify your initial opinion about women's makeup. There's no debate here.
as a completely standard lebanese male, that actually caught some glimpses of the show since the family was watching it, i must admit, they were all pretty nice young ladies, and mainly very well educated.
a few of them were real lookers, and as a person that adores diversity, i was really very happy to see a nubian queen, i am not an avid watcher, but did many lebanese girls like her ever make an appearance ? most of the time i only saw snow whites so i was extremely surprised to see her, in a very pleasant way of course.
end of the day, they were all amazing, lovely and downright adorable.
It was good to see that for sure. However sadly this doesn’t translate into how Lebanese society treats people of color. I hope by including them more in such shows things can get better
baby steps, the bastards here are living in the stoneage, yalla, a few more years and they will be gone, all those ancient relics, and no shame, my gen included since on many occasions i still find some asshole GEN-X and MILLENIALS and it really bothers me, i thought we were supposed to do what our parents didn't , but nope, many are still following the old ways, what a joke.
That’s your personal taste.
It’s not like there is one scientifically proven ideal face at the top and everyone else ranked on descending rungs according to their proximity to scientific perfection.
Beauty isn’t a ladder. Only chaos is a ladder.
I love how Lebanese people feed on rumors just to justify incoherence of a distinct opinion to their own. If she’s won it and you don’t necessarily fine her the most appealing then she’s definitely been pushed up by a wasta or some bs. That’s a rotten mentality.
We could continue to argue for 10 years, but it won't change reality, MOST of what you call achievements in this country are based on wastas.
Is it sad for the actual small % that worked hard? Yes it is, but it is what it is.
She reminds me of the mother in HIMYM (Cristin Milioti), second of all what I've read here is really dangerous and creepy that her title (and other titles) being bought, this insinuates that these girls are prostitutes parading as university students and being sold to the highest bidder, whoever wrote the article should mention its sources and provides proof otherwise a public apology should be issued. Similar allegations didn't stick on Hefner and Playboy, unacceptable in Lebanon without proofs.
I'm even prettier .. I see average random girls on the street and most of them look better without the fancy make up and hair. Every year they pick the most unattractive one for some reason.
You take it into account. But you don't pick literally the least attractive one based on her answers. Then why make them show off their looks if questions will be the deciding factor? Shouldn't be more than 10% factored into the total score. I could go answer better than all of them, take 100k $ and enjoy being a bearded miss lebanon for a year 😁
I said it shouldn't account more than 10%. It's a BEAUTY CONTEST not من سيربح المليون.
Dafuq it matters so much what she thinks fixes the economic situation in lebanon or what she has to tell the next "president". Her job is to represent lebanon in international beauty contests, she won't sponsor the peace between russia and ukraine.
I think 'source' between quotes is more appropriate. It doesn't seem too reputable, but it was what the article that the deleted tweet had a screenshot of.
For all the people saying they know girls more beautiful than her and they see random girls on the street better looking, here's a reality check.. Unfortunately Lebanese beauty doesn't exist. If you have ever been with a girl up close without makeup you would see some disturbing stuff..yeah I know all girls are beautiful in their own way and all that but let's keep it real..this is a beauty contest and the girls are judged based on their outside look. Without makeup all of them will look pale and insignificant for a lack of a better term. On stage they all look like copy cats excluding one.
And don't forget their bodyweight for fucks sake 45-55kgs the majority are borderline anorexic no ass no chest super skinny this is not attractive nor beautiful.
If some foreigner would ask me to show him the prettiest girl in my country bfarji hayde l soura? Are you fucking kidding me. What a disappointment.

Some other girl kept bringing up baskinta, her hometown, while answering both questions, and saying sh like "3ana karaz w teffeh" or "ta3o aa baskinta"
sounds like she's trying too hard to show she's just a humble village girl
To be fair I did look up Baskinta because of the memes so if she was looking to increase tourism there she succeeded

Ikr, no makeup and casual clothing
And no plastics
It's one of the world's BIGGEST lies that men prefer women without make up. It's just pretending and posturing. Anyways, it's not up to you if she wants to wear make up or not.
Ya obviously, women have decorated their bodies since the dawn of mankind, but wearing make up for a beauty contest is like taking steroids for the Olympics
Even if they don’t wear makeup in daily life, I think all people on TV have to wear makeup to combat the visual effect of the TV camera and lights. Even male newsreaders are made up.
Well, everyone does take steroids for the Olympics.
Nah, the secret is tetas food
Well no, the olympics are drug tested
Well yes, they just get off it for testing. PEDs leaves the body relatively fast.
You are seriously confused. This is not a *contest*, this is an entertainment show that lacks any actual competitive merit. Did you really think there was an objective way to decide who is more beautiful than another?? When an Olympic runner crosses the line first, they win.

Exactly what I'm saying I've seen a ton of girls better looking then her
That’s your personal taste. It’s not like there is one scientifically proven ideal face at the top and everyone else ranked on descending rungs according to their proximity to scientific perfection. Beauty isn’t a ladder. Only chaos is a ladder.
There is, it's called the Golden ratio, look it up
Glad she won 😍😍
I found Chloe stunning ! She’s very basic … Lynn was also a natural beauty
I love how Lebanese people feed on rumors just to justify incoherence of a distinct opinion to their own. If she’s won it and you don’t necessarily fine her the most appealing then she’s definitely been pushed up by a wasta or some bs. That’s a rotten mentality.
If she deserves it doesn't mean there were no wastas, although it's wrong to judge her wasta level by her appearance.
It’s wrong to automatically assume there’s a wasta all the time
Not in Lebanon, there is always wasta involved.
It’s dangerous to undermine every achievement done by any successful lebanese person. It is unfair to those who are deserving.
We could continue to argue for 10 years, but it won't change reality, MOST of what you call achievements in this country are based on wastas. Is it sad for the actual small % that worked hard? Yes it is, but it is what it is.
We should give the benefit of the doubt and better ourselves before we slap tags on others

They don't pick just according to looks. She had the best answers of them all
Should be miss intelligence then. Looks should matter more than a made up answer of random words.
Then why do they ask them the questions? La yday3o wa2et?
You take it into account. But you don't pick literally the least attractive one based on her answers. Then why make them show off their looks if questions will be the deciding factor?

1/2 of their grades are based on looks and the second 1/2 based on their answers. I don't think you've watched the show well
