"I like women without makeup"

"WOMEN DON'T HAVE TO LIVE UP TO YOUR UNREALISTIC STANDARDS MISOGYNIST"

"I like women with makeup"

"WOMEN DON'T HAVE TO LIVE UP TO YOUR UNREALISTIC STANDARDS MISOGYNIST"

"Screw that, I don't care about women anymore, I like men with makeup"

"WTF WHY ARE YOU AVOIDING WOMEN WHO HURT YOU WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PERVERT MISOGYNIST STOP APPROPRIATING FEMALE CULTURE"

Meanwhile women hate me when I say I don't care if a woman wears make up or doesn't wear make up.

Since men being neutral is also a bad thing lol. Since they either want a reaction (negative or positive) from men. Like the trap known as the "does this dress make me look fat" question with no right answer. Since the woman will still be mad at the man for any answer.

Or they don't like neutrality from men, because that means they aren't getting attention from men. This is my experience with women in a nutshell. Where I can say I don't care about what women do with their bodies. But again I still get hated for this lol.

Men dressing nice and grooming doesn't make us look like a totally different person. We meet person A and then suddenly person B shows up after a shower. But men are expected to accept that as normal and not blatant deception. And closing with the personal insults just emphasizes her insecurities with her looks and leads me to believe she uses make up to hide what she really looks like.

Well, screw me for liking natural over fake looks, I guess?

While we're on the topic, anyone else always annoyed with women that respond with something like "You don't prefer no makeup, you prefer natural looking makeup. Men don't know what no makeup looks like." This is just insulting. Yes, I know what no makeup looks like, I'm not a moron.

women would constantly blabber on about how they don’t dress up for men but the second a man says that he actually prefers women without makeup they’ll start having a fit. they’re just insecure and constantly seeking validation

The entire discourse around make-up is so....messy as fuck.

Most men don't give a shit. I like women with or without make-up. I really couldn't care less. The way libfems act like the weird relationship women have with make-up is because of men is just...a fuckin' lie.

My favorite was when a guy said he likes when his wife doesn't put makeup on. Women tried to tell him he doesn't know when his wife has makeup on...

She went full "Here's what you think"

Who is this guy? I want to send him my blessing.

Their examples don't even make any sense. Are some women not allowed to like it more if a man has a beard? I mean, some women just don't like it when men shave, and prefer the scruffy look.

Are they misandrist if they have a preference in the guys they're attracted to?

Third paragraph is stretching it. Shaving is shaving. Wearing makeup is wearing makeup. Plucking brows is plucking brows. Putting on products is putting on products. One can't really compare shaving and lipstick.

I think his intentions were valid, he's just stating his preference. But the actual phrase and wording I believe is typically used in the context of guys being tone deaf about women's relationship with makeup.

Its like girls saying "I like guys with X beauty standard", not realising its something guys could be self-conscious about. Its just comes across tone deaf.

I want reiterate, his point is valid, stating a preferene is completely fine but I think the wording is literally a pop culture reference about guys being tone deaf.

Weegemonster5000 · 2024-08-28T15:51:01+00:00

I believe the point is that the standard is out there that women look like these models and actresses. Then men want them to look like those women without makeup? Them girls is photoshopped half the damn time, so how could they possibly meet that standard without makeup?

Pretty reasonable from them if you ask me.
