SIRO-492 - Innocent 222

About this work

After graduating from high school, she immediately got a job at a company in Tokyo and is now in her fifth year as a working adult. She’s an office worker, but her appearance isn’t flashy: light makeup, black hair, and she gives a serious yet bright impression. While not true of everyone, many women today seem to have similar hairstyles and makeup; conversely, a girl who doesn’t dress up much and has a natural vibe tends to stand out. Generally, men who prefer this kind of type — to put it extremely — often lack self-confidence and seek the reassurance and calm of someone who will accept them. There’s also the common story that someone looks beautiful with makeup but looks different bare-faced, so seeing a woman who’s close to her natural face brings a sense of relief. She doesn’t like her current job, but she handles her work adequately without problems. She says she’s dated about an average number of men, but digging deeper it seems she may be weak to pressure and has had her share of men. To men, she gives an impression of vulnerability—not overwhelmingly sexy, but with a passive air that suggests she might give in if pushed a little. However, some women of her type intentionally present themselves that way, having seen through those dynamics. There’s even a “natural makeup” style aimed at the opposite sex. Tastes vary, so you can’t generalize, but while a flashy or glamorous person may be fine as a partner, when it comes to marriage it’s often the calm, reassuring type like her who are ultimately chosen.
