Men who wear makeup? Why? Just Why? Do women not like actual men anymore? Would someone please explain the attraction of a guy wearing makeup.

expected? lol what?
i don't care if guys want to wear it or not. i don't care if women want to or not. imo, id prefer people who aren't in show business to not wear it during normal social interactions. it's a bit stupid in my opinion. But i really don't think ANYBODY is expected to. I think it's just f***ing media pressure getting to women, i really don't know any guys that give much s*** about make-up on their girl friends or whatever.

My question: does make up include face lotion? Other wise I'm not against man make-up but I don't see a point to it, unless your dressing up like a pirate.
Men can wear as much makeup as they want. If they are good at it I will not notice it. If it is bad I will probably snicker a bit (as I currently do when I see women in bad makeup).
Just do not expect me to even try. I am to lazy to even shave most mornings. Makeup would be impossible.

I like my manscara, it keeps the sun out of my eyes while playing sports. So does my guyliner.
Nah, it's all fine, seriously. The worst thing that can happen is that if these are more expensive than the women's equivalent then the guys will decide to bottle it up and save a few quid, then the guy brand products just gather dust. There's a huge, humongous, ginormous leap between selling make-up for men and it becoming expected of you, I think we can put it to the bottom of the list.

Voted: It'd be bad.
Frankly, I'd prefer a world where there aren't expectations for anyone, regardless of gender, to wear makeup. I'm not a fan of aesthetic expectations, especially when they completely undermine natural beauty.
I don't begrudge people who wear makeup because they want to wear makeup. That's perfectly fine. I begrudge society as a whole for pressuring people who don't want to wear it into feeling like they're ugly or unpresentable without it, 'cause that's complete bullshit.

Women wearing make-up, men wearing make-up, what's the bloody difference? It can look good on people of either gender. Frankly women who put on too much of the stuff look just as ridiculous as men who do the same. Subtlety is the key word here, folks. As for the expectations bit...what, are women still "expected" to wear make-up? Were they ever, really? That's the only conceivable reason I can think of for why you'd ask that. As a female, I've never worn a smudge of make-up in my life, other than for dance recitals and stage plays I've been in, and I have yet to be fined by the make-up police.
My ex girlfriend used to like me wearing make up, not full slap but a bit of eyeliner and nail polish. So I suppose some women find it sexy, I can't believe she was the only woman in the world like that.m19 said:
I don't wear it anymore though, I'm too old for it now. I don't have a problem with men wearing make up, just so long as they know to stop before they start to look ridiculous *cough*Nicky Wire from the Manic Street Preachers*cough*
I just find it ironic that almost every beauty product sold to women in the 20th/21st centuries was originally invented for men.
Eyeliner? For men
Foundation? also for men
Lipstick? ditto
Girdles? once again
High-heeled shoes? take a wild guess
After a few hundred years (say after the 1400s on) things switched over to them being beauty products for women instead of for men.
What a world.

Tollerance is different from accepting, and accepting is different from respecting.catalyst8 said:
I ussually snicker when I notice it, but that's besides the point. I wouldn't laugh out loud at a woman wearing make up for the same reason I wouldn't laugh at a toddler riding a bicycle, but would laugh at a grown man doing to same. Society has formed certain roles and customs for us the play, which roles and customs are appropriate for us depends on our age, gender, physical (dis)abilities, intelligence, weight, etc, etc.
When one chooses to disobey those roles / customs without doing harm to oneself or other, then I wouldn't stop that person. But it's wrong to automatically demand understanding and respect for doing so.
I find make - up effeminante, and don't understand most effeminante things. I've learned to accept it when woman are effeminante, but it boggles my mind when a man would choice to do so (except when said man is mentally a woman). As a reaction of my lack of understanding I'd laugh. Granted that might not be the kindest thing in the world to do, but I find it natrual.
I hope this satisfies your curiosity.
In return I'd like you to satisfy my curiosity: "Why did you ask me this question?" My statement isn't odd, neither is my defence of it. Most people would agree with me, so what about my statement made you so curious? Or where you just trying to ridiculise my point of view?
p.s. With that last remark I didn't try to ridiculise your question. I tried to ridiculise your attempt to ridiculise my point of view, if that attempt existed
No-one of any gender should be ?expected? to wear make-up, so my answer to your question is ?It?d be bad?.
I mean, men can wear whatever they want, but no world should command them of it.
But my friend's into glam rock and is pretty much a wannabe rock star (he's got his own band and all), and I think he wears eyeliner sometimes, like at the weekend or something. He?s told that people on the street have taken the piss out of him before, but he doesn?t really care.

Well, even if you're a transvestite, people will still label you weird.KingsGambit said:
