I think all men should be able to wear concealer

makeup for men

and how I love a man in eyeliner. But that's another story

I think all men should be concealed, silent unless spoken to, barefoot and in the kitchen, and rich.

Man in eyeliner: did you love this guy as I did (back in the day?)

Men won't thank us if wearing makeup becomes the norm...
It stops being "freedom" and starts being a chore the same morning you fancy an extra 15 minutes in bed.

Anyway, women don't place as much importance on looks as men do.
I'd rather have a man who looks like he's just fallen out of bed all day than one who has perfect skin right up until he gets caught in the rain...

I'm calling you on this one. I think women dress and paint for (or against) other women more than for guys.

So, you, a woman, don't place as much importance on looks as we men do. Therefore, what? You go to the extra trouble to wear more makeup (than men do) because the men care more about looks? If you care less, why bother with the makeup?

And if you care less, why would it matter if the man looked scruffy all day, rained on and messy, or not?

Yeah, I'm confused.

I'm with those guys, SG.

I thought she meant that women care less about a man's looks than a man cares about a woman's looks. (And as with everything, there are many exceptions to rules.)

For instance, I don't give one rat's ass if a man is bald or not. Often I have trouble describing a man (did he have a moustache? I have no idea) not because I'm not observant but because I think I'm looking more at the whole person.

But yeah, us women and makeup. I wear it less than I ever did... but today I thought about trying to look "good" at work for a change. I still feel like a giant ugly witch, but that's another story. When I lose this extra padding and am once again a goddess, I'm interested to see what men will decide to give me the time of day. Then I can say "no thanks, you didn't want to revel in the amazing personality that is me before, you don't get to now."

Then I will bag the nearest sugar daddy I can find...and one more problem will be solved. Why not? Everyone I know does it.

She's talking about the importance of looks in the other sex. Women will date an ugly guy if he has other redeeming qualities (like money, if you'd like to be an equal-opportunity-snarker.) Men, on the other hand, have terms like "butterface."

Edit: Oh yeah, and on the topic of male makeup: I had a boyfriend once who wore concealer (while I wore no makeup.) He also thought ponytails and tanktops were trashy, and would say things to me like, "You're not going out in that, are you?" Yeah, that one didn't work out so well.

BigV · 04-20-2007, 12:45 PM

Ok, I guess that makes sense, at least.

I don't particularly agree, but most of that is my contrarian nature, plus the fact that MrsV is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I just don't pay a *lot* of attention to the rest.

MrsV, on the other hand, has either poorer eyesight, lower standards or a generous and sympathetic nature. That, plus I make her look so good by comparison.

Did he eventually meet Mr Right, and dump you?

Clodfobble · 04-20-2007, 03:04 PM

I dumped him, actually, and so far as I know he's still in denial.

lumberjim · 04-20-2007, 04:07 PM
