Makeup for Guys.

[xX.Silver.Wings.Xx]

I use black eyeliner across the top, red across the bottom and black eyeshadow... nothing else really...

[Mo-Nercy]

I'm probably the type of guy that would do that. xD

I love to look good and I have some male friends that do wear makeup and it doesn't at all phase me, but I prefer letting my nice clothes, expensive shoes and emo hairstyle do all the looking good.

[Markus. D]

yes Mo. the clothes, shoes and the sexay emo hair ftw,

[Reine]

I agree with BoB. Males + make-up doesnt sit well with me. What on earth? first leg shaving and now make up?

Where have all the men gone?

Anyway, this is just my opinion on the matter, and if some guy I know does wear makeup, im not going to treat him any differently for it. And yes BoB, that guy looks awful..it IS a man right?

I abhore the use of make-up on men, with the exception of one man;



It's easy to see why the rule wouldn't apply. Keep it Piratey.

Oh GOD yes, pirates are the SOLE exception

[Loony BoB]

Something tells me that most actual pirates didn't wear a huge amount of makeup. I can't imagine Blackbeard touching up his eye shadow.

[Reine]

Well, we probably wont know how they really looked, all we "know" is generally from movies, art, etc.

[MecaKane]

But seriously, when did metrosexuality turn into being a flamer? In all seriousness, boys shouldn't wear make-up simply because it makes them look feminine. Maybe I'm just an old fashioned gay boy, but I believe everyone who likes males physically, likes them for who they are.

Okay, are you some kind of deep-cover troll or something? After all the BS gay people have had to put up with, now you're coming along and saying "Don't look feminine!"?

I laugh at you, and thank you for showing me that just because someone's part of a group that's been mistreated by society, there is absolutely no guarantee that they'll act any better.

And finally, your tastes are very far from universal.

There's a huge difference between being biologically set to love other guys, and wanting to wear makeup because you're a twat.

I was about to argue, but I realized the only reason I'd wear makeup most of the time is to piss people off, so I suppose that does make me a twat.

I agree with BoB. Males + make-up doesnt sit well with me. What on earth? first leg shaving and now make up?

Yeah, only fags and women care about their appearance. Guess I should stop washing my hair, too. And no more bathing in general, in fact. God, how can you pussies emasculate yourselves like that? Cleanliness? Pride in appearance? Ugh. You make me sick.

[Loony BoB]

Kane and MILFy, both of you stop your distasteful language immediately! Also, lighten up. She wasn't saying that only homosexuals and females wear makeup. She just clearly thinks it's not manly to do so. And I agree. Big deal.

Also, there is a difference between hygiene and aesthetics. Cleaning and even moisturising products are not makeup, they are cleaning products and moisturising products. Makeup is the stuff you can see.

Also, pride in appearance has nothing to do with makeup, as you can look great without it - and some (clearly such as Resha and myself) would say that makeup does not make you look attractive, and therefore there is more pride in one's appearance to not wear makeup. I definitely think that makeup only makes a man look worse.

Seriously, just let people think what they like, don't beat yourself or anyone else up over it.

Itsfine, lern2comprehendsarcasm.

[Captain VooDoo]

it all depends how you do your makeup,personally i think makeup looks better on guys than on girls.
some makeups that make girls look awful could make a guy look cute.

if a girl wore that makeup theyd look awful.

I thought that was a girl before I read the text. Yeah, uh, he looks awful, too, so I don't see the point. =[

but he looks better than a girl would.

I know it was sarcasm. But you still need to mind your language.

Where have all the men gone?

Please explain that comment to me?

How clever! I'm less of a man because I like to look my absolute best. Reine, that was one stupid comment and without any logic at all.

Anyway, this is just my opinion on the matter, and if some guy I know does wear makeup, im not going to treat him any differently for it.

Wait, what? But he would still be "less of a man" in your opinion?

You confuse me with your double standard.

[Loony BoB]

I believe Reine was meaning "Where have all the manly men gone?" because, like myself, he thinks that wearing makeup is not a manly thing to do.

man·ly ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mnl)
adj. man·li·er, man·li·est
Having qualities traditionally attributed to a man.
Belonging to or befitting a man; masculine.

I would say that makeup is not traditionally attributed to a man, and I would also say that it is not very masculine.

Again, you might think makeup makes you look your absolute best, but that's a matter of opinion, too, and a lot of people in the world might think that it makes you look less attractive, and/or, as in the case of Reine and myself, less manly.

Also, you can think someone is less of something and still treat them the same. How you think of someone and how you treat them are mutually exclusive.
