Reality Check: men could not care less if you wear do or don't wear makeup, and wearing makeup is 100% a personal choice.

BritishCorner · 2022-03-17T07:56:59+00:00

Literally suggests nothing about men in this but yeah

August-7 · 2022-03-16T21:57:55+00:00

Ironically, the pressure to look pretty and use makeup comes from other females.

kaunText · 2022-03-16T21:59:46+00:00

Honest to god I've only ever seen women get mad at men who say they don't prefer makeup on women. I understand there are both kinds of people, i.e. some men would prefer it; But can we fucking stop turning every darn thing into a movement? If you like makeup, do it, dont like it dont do it. Why are people like this.

StanduAnduDeroo · 2022-03-16T23:00:42+00:00

So they made messes, wasted product and took a picture?

Antique-Extension417 · 2022-03-16T22:09:07+00:00

This is not the patriarchy. This is toxic feminimity its womens fear of other women judging them that makes them wear makeup, and often, wear revealing outfits just as much as its the search for male attention.

gandalftherekt · 2022-03-16T23:15:10+00:00

While I agree that we don't care about women using make-up,in Asia the culture changes and there is a lot of pressure to the individuals in different things, the makeup and beauty culture are different that in western countries. We can't expect them to have the same expectations as the rest of the world

SpongeBrainz · 2022-03-16T22:11:37+00:00

I have never been told or pressured by a man to wear make up. So, I have no idea what these women are on about? I'm glad most men don't care and my partner prefers me without make up. It's bloody expensive and it feels horrible to be caked in foundation. Women look better with none or a tiny bit of make up. I really like mascara, but I would not wear it on a hot day or out exercising... even waterproof mascara.

Idesmi · 2022-03-16T23:56:08+00:00

South-Korean beauty standards are on another level, though. May even be that most girls undergo cosmetic surgery.

ExMuzzy · 2022-03-16T22:35:19+00:00

Blame men for pressure to wear makeup but also say they don’t wear it for men 😂

motorbiker1985 · 2022-03-16T22:18:04+00:00

The name of the movement is also incredibly stupid as corsets were not some gendered torture devices... well, let the historical clothing expert explain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNwTqanp0Aw

In short, they were not strangling and were worn by men and women alike. 20 seconds on youtube shows how detached these movements are from reality.

Dull_Mulberry_463 · 2022-03-16T23:30:10+00:00

Actually south Koreans use a lot of make up, men's 2

Avidion18 · 2022-03-17T00:03:17+00:00

Literally only women do this to look better than other women

Estenar · 2022-03-16T22:16:18+00:00

Yes, but standards in Asia are quite different. Korea, Japan, all of those countries have bizarre standards about many thing and we still call them "progressive" eh /s

I agree to this, you really do have to have specific make-up, specific wear to "do your job".

fanclockbedsheet · 2022-03-16T23:14:09+00:00

I and many of my guy friends agree that we don't even like makeup on a girl. We want someone who looks human, not like a doll. Sometimes I'm literally disgusted seeing the makeup girls have on.

Snowave7 · 2022-03-17T00:01:27+00:00

Who asking you to wear a make up? Just clean your face and wear good dress and go out! I bet there still be a man that will find you attractive!

monkeymanwasd123 · 2022-03-17T01:09:35+00:00

its a useless expense, at the very least the attractive girls that are my age look beautiful regardless

shiftyfired1056 · 2022-03-17T01:52:37+00:00

Let's be honest, men don't actually care what you wear. I personally wouldn't care if a girl wore a dress or not to a date, I wouldn't be disappointed if she wore jeans and a t-shirt. Women dress up to impress other women. It's no one's fault except other women's beauty standards.

ivanoud · 2022-03-17T01:53:55+00:00

And what's more, it's the OTHER make-up-loving women who stir up shit. Men are just wrongful blame victims.

No_Information_530 · 2022-03-17T02:03:25+00:00

We don't care ladies.

billsull_02842 · 2022-03-17T04:22:59+00:00

underneath their fake painted faces they fake their inner beauty.

ItsJustMeMaggie · 2022-03-17T04:44:59+00:00

I’ve found this is true. Very few men actually expect, let alone prefer, women to have perfect makeup on all the time. Hell most men hardly notice it.

winatreddit · 2022-03-17T04:48:49+00:00

looks are everything, incels are right

GlutonForPUNishment · 2022-03-17T07:05:25+00:00

I recently saw a post on r/tumblr where some dipshit was saying that men are scared to wear make up because they are afraid to Express their true self... except wouldn't going everyday never feeling the need to constantly disguise myself show that I am far more confident in expressing my true self than anyone who feels it necessary to put on a literal mask everyday?

yeet_n_skeet · 2022-03-16T23:56:08+00:00

Okay so I love the lack of context. Korea is extremely harsh expectations on appearances, especially for women. If you are not beautiful, then you will have a very hard time marrying a man. They aren’t doing this for shits and giggles, its their incredibly cruel culture. And the caption is total shit.

raid3r_fox · 2022-03-16T22:45:08+00:00

personally I’ve never really applied makeup, only at formal occasions (mascara, a bit of blush, lip gloss, maybe some eyeliner if I really want to). I don’t feel pressured to use it.

SAMMYYYTEEH · 2022-03-17T03:43:52+00:00

Finally i can speak up

I Really don't like women who use heavy make up to look beautiful and rather find the women who use no makeup more attractive

Gaiinahat · 2022-03-17T04:12:08+00:00

Geeze, what a mess. Nobody wants to wife up a sloppy woman anyway.

crappydaysx · 2022-03-16T22:35:43+00:00

make up is part of the patriarchy an agenda to control women using their sexuality just like its always been. its changed now and women think makeup is their “choice” but there isnt a choice in the vacuums that we live in.

manbro7 · 2022-03-16T23:45:01+00:00

Blaming others and making others take responsibility comes from narcissism. One of the causes is being emotionally coddled and not developing the power to make decisions for themselves, so others must always be to blame.

hawknose33 · 2022-03-17T01:08:33+00:00

Literally hundreds of dollars wasted in that photo

CaissaIRL · 2022-03-17T02:09:49+00:00

As long as they can keep themselves clean meaning maybe two or three pimples is fine and do basic hair care such as shampoo and conditioner for their hair regularly and shaving is my minimum honestly. Lipstick, eyeshadow, and etc. I don't really care about tbh.

Suddenly_Sisyphus42 · 2022-03-17T02:39:06+00:00

Most of the women I've been romantically involved with tended to use light makeup or none at all. Seems like it should be more of a personal choice and not a political statement.

InformalCriticism · 2022-03-17T06:30:27+00:00

Yeah, if women don't realize men don't give a shit about makeup and actually prefer it, they could save some cash. The problem is that it's a female hierarchy they created; men have nothing to do with it.

PeaceMaker_6969 · 2022-03-17T07:10:25+00:00

South Korean beauty standards are so bad, even men have to wear makeup. It would suck to be a teenager living in that country.
