So, a few things:
- No way to prove you’re a dude.
- Post is still not a lie, as your statement followed the post. You can’t say that someone in the year 1900 was a liar if they said “no man has walked on the moon”.
- Technically you wrote it, not said it. Therefore your comment is a LIE
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is 2023. Everyone’s a dude, dude.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In 1900 no man had walked on the moon yet. Wouldn’t be a lie if in 1900 someone said “No man has walked on the moon.”

Okay now you have to follow through. Go out and marry one of those falsie-long-lashes freaks. No divorces allowed. You must look at her at least twenty times a day for the rest of your life.

ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No but they absolutely do say, “Wow you look really pretty today” but have no idea why.
Men treat you nicer when you wear makeup.
The other day my coworker said, “you look different. I don’t know what it is, but you look great. I think you’ve been getting a lot of rest” nope. Just wore makeup that day
My husband, many times, has been looking at me, admiring me, and complimenting me on how naturally beautiful I am without realizing I just filled my eyebrows in that day and have darker lashes rather than blonde lashes.
Just because men have the privilege of ignorance doesn’t mean they aren’t attracted to made up faces.
MrSqueezles@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I believe the post is specifically about long eyelashes, fake eyelashes.
That said, my wife has worn makeup twice in 18 years. I love her for being herself, but I complimented her on how nice she looked those two times her sister did her makeup because I’m not a complete jerk and have some idea of how to be kind when someone has spent an hour trying to look nice. I also attempted to make it clear that I preferred her without makeup, maybe something along the lines of, “I love how naturally beautiful you are.”
Just because some women consider men to be ignorant doesn’t mean we are.

I personally chucked it up to artistry. Makeup is to put it literally is drawing on your face and thusly it’s art. I’m a artist and yea I’ve had people male and female see one of my photos or drawings and ask me how I made this or that thing look cool. I’ve even had people say my photographs look nice because I take a lot of pictures, and well I suppose that’s a pretty blunt way of saying I practiced. If you don’t study a art form you won’t know what separates beginner artists from veteran artists. Tbh the only reason I know anything about makeup is because I sketch and making human CGI models is basically doing makeup for someone else and even then I understand that a lot of my terminology might be wrong and you can’t just simply make someones nose smaller or make them have a bigger mouth.

Spot on, and supported by psyche studies. They may not be consciously thinking about the lashes, but they definitely notice.
DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lol they’re just trying to be nice - they see the effort and wanna let you know.
My husband, many times, has been looking at me, admiring me, and complimenting me on how naturally beautiful I am without realizing I just filled my eyebrows in that day and have darker lashes rather than blonde lashes.
Your husband can’t help it if you don’t rock your real natural self from time to time. You know damn well you try to avoid not wearing any makeup at all and use some to feign “natural beauty”.

ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lmao. I’ve worn makeup only like a dozen times in the past year for big events and he compliments me all the time regardless. You’re just illustrating what I said in my original post, most men have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to makeup.
aidan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Enhancing make-up of course anyone might like. The issue is there is a lot of excessive makeup that to me looks terrible. Ofc, people aren’t just wearing it to impress me, but you’re giving the impression that any guy who complains about make-up doesn’t understand and is just a hypocrite. I don’t know any guy who actually likes eye shadow, long nails, or lipstick.
Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I be you do know plenty of guys that do, it’s easy to assume everyone thinks like you but that’s not how humans work.
shasta@lemm.ee 1 year ago
As a man, I agree. I think it’s more that if it’s noticable make up, it’s probably too much, and that’s the only kind most men notice. I personally don’t care about the things you mentioned, however I do appreciate eyeliner and hair dyes (as long as it isn’t damaged to a crisp). Otherwise, just generally looking healthy and hygienic is important.
MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m a guy who really likes all of those, and heavier make-up looks in general. I wouldn’t ever expect someone to wear them just for me though. I see makeup as something that’s 90% for the person wearing it, and making them feel good about themselves. Same goes for lighter or no make-up looks. The confidence from feeling good about yourself is far more important than whatever “look” you go for.
fruitSnackSupreme@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why is this a thing, but then if men wear any makeup whatsoever, it’s immediately noticeable? Unfair man.
LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch 1 year ago
Cause it’s really difficult to apply a subtle hint of makeup to enhance existing features. Men (usually) don’t get a ton of practice at it, so they use a heavy hand.
People that say they hate makeup USUALLY just hate heavy, poorly done makeup.
People that say they hate cosmetic surgery USUALLY just hate heavy, poorly done plastic surgery.I hate when people feel they need to apply makeup they don’t want, and hate when people feel they need surgery to look good, but there are definitely people who do both for the right reasons, and do them well, and people DO notice the improvement, they just don’t always notice why.
ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I do feel bad that makeup isn’t more normalized for men. That said, the more you practice, the less noticeable it is! And if you go for a practiced natural look, it will probably not be noticeable to other men! For what it’s worth, makeup is almost always going to be immediately noticed by people who do makeup
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My wife has worn makeup maybe twice since we have been married. She naturally has skin that women pay a lot of money to try and emulate. Your ancetotal evidence isnt good for much.
MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Most men have no idea what they actually like. I’d be willing to bet most wouldn’t be able to identify light mascara even if they saw it applied
MarmaladeMermaid@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Agree. Men who go out of their way to evaluate women’s appearances and say they like women with no makeup generally mean they prefer it when women are level ten makeup astronauts who make full face look like “I just woke up this way!”
That said, the full-set lakes that make it visibly hard for a person to blink look really uncomfortable, and that makes me vicariously uncomfortable.
Skates@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Men who go out of their way to evaluate women’s appearances and say they like women with no makeup generally mean they prefer it when women are level ten makeup astronauts who make full face look like “I just woke up this way!”
How do you evaluate that? I’m really asking, cause I’ve been in long-term relationships, so I’ve gone to bed next to someone who just removed their makeup and liked their face better without it, so please let me know how you evaluate that “generally” that’s what men mean - that they like full face make-up?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My wife rarely wares makeup and rarely has. I prefer it when she doesn’t, which is good because so does she.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
say they like women with no makeup
It generally means they don’t like women wearing so much make-up it is noticeable even to them.
At least for me. I rather prefer them a little ugly than looking like a clown.
KevonLooney@lemm.ee 1 year ago
To say it differently, you don’t ask a fish how to go fishing. They would just say “be a delicious worm or bug” and have no concept of rods, reels, locations, or any of the skills involved in actually fishing.
FriendOfElphaba@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah, this statement is simply wrong. Men unconsciously notice a lot of things, and they might deny noticing even obvious ones because any acknowledgement of fashion is considered effeminate by some men.
I love the drag queen lashes that are so long they’ll take out the person next to you if you turn your head too fast.
Epzillon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Very much this. I tried to further explain the reasoning but I realized that it’d just sounded way more incel’y than it needed to.
hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And yet men go for the women with long eyelashes. Just because men aren’t aware of it doesn’t mean the women’s moves don’t work.
But even if they didn’t, imagine this: Women can change the way they look entirely without wanting to look hotter for men. Shocking, I know.
Gabu@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There’s people out there attracted to literal human excrement, so you think that’s also a reasonable thing to wear on your face? Just because some idiots are attracted to that stuff doesn’t make it inherently attractive.
hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t believe I made any comment about what’s “inherently attractive” or “reasonable” to “wear on your face”. What’s with the loaded question?
Femcowboy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
No dude has ever said “she’d look hotter if her lips and cheeks were redder,” either but ya’ll would cry if we stopped wearing lipstick and blush. Quit your bullshit.
the_brownie@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Seriously. I’m sure some people will hyperfixate on the lipstick/rouge example you gave, but generally many guys don’t understand or think about makeup and thus have no awareness of how it impacts how they’re attracted to people. And then they have the gall to lecture others about what works and what doesn’t.
Also shoutout to some of the straight up sexist replies in this thread. Nice to see a sizable chunk of reddit neckbeards made their way over here.
TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I would say it is kind of sexist to state that all men would cry if women stopped wearing blush and lipstick. We aren’t a hivemind either. I personally prefer natural over makeup.
CrowAirbrush@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Nah, calm your tits.
aidan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
ya’ll would cry if we stopped wearing lipstick and blush.
I don’t think so? Maybe blush, but I don’t know any guy who really likes lipstick. Same with fake nails.
EurekaStockade@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Fake nails look awful. Don’t know why anyone would consider claws attractive. Lipstick can look alright though.
iegod@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Red lipstick is the worst. Makes the wearer look clownish.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
not to mention, I get dressed and think “I look good today!”
at no point do i think, “I wonder if the average woman would like me wearing this, and if they wouldn’t I will never wear it again”
I mean I’m bi, so I guess it’s “any given person”
if I had to dress entirely like any person anywhere in the world would like what I’m wearing I’d end up looking like a waiter every day.
But then some people think that women somehow are considering “the average guy” in their dressing habits. I assume the majority of the world gives very little thought to other people when getting dressed.
NewSmileadon@lemmy.world 1 year ago

TryingToEscapeTarkov@lemmy.world 1 year ago

LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
How egotistic do you have to be to think that your opinion is warranted with regards to women’s appearance? Good for you if you think you don’t like lashes. No one asked, and I’d be willing to bet you’d see a woman with full face on including lashes or mascara and think she looks great. 🙄
The men in this thread calling women repulsive for wearing lashes are unbelievable. Imagine saying something so horrible to someone about an aspect of their appearance you personally think you don’t like. And then you wonder why no one wants to date you.
Laticauda@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I knew a girl with thin eyelashes in junior high/high school. She got made fun of for it a lot, by both girls and boys. So, I’m guessing some girls want thick lashes because they learned the hard way that guys do indeed care.
abraxas@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I think girls who get long eyelashes do it because they like how they look.
And thank god if they do because I would hate a woman who only cares about what other people think of her looks.
outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago

Gotdamn yall. Some men think it’s hot, some men don’t. Some women do wear makeup for others, some women don’t. More broadly, no one group does anything for a single reason so we need to stop being so combative online about shit posts.

Isn’t this like CGI? If done right you don’t see it?
Sheeple@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Fun fact. Men have actually on average longer eyelashes than women. It makes sense when you think about the fact that their hormones promote men’s hair growth.
That means eyelashes, ironically enough, are a masculine feature.

Kalkaline@leminal.space 1 year ago
I’ve never said those words, but eye lash extensions do it for me. It’s not often that I notice it, but when I start getting that junior high crush feeling for women I interact with, I usually notice they have the fake eyelashes going.
PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Irrelevant. It’s for the aesthetic. Some girls like doing hair, others makeup/lashes etc, others fashion. All are expressions of self beauty, not particularly for someone else imo. But this is shitpost so….
3ntranced@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As a man with glamorously long natural eyelashes, it is not all its cracked up to be either. They get all criss/crossed and bent so they drag ever so slightly on my cornea and since it didn’t fully fall out I just keep rubbing the eye trying to dislodge it and end up just irritating it more.
Fuck eyelashes, they’re another annoying “feature” of the human body. Just like making the air and food hole join and be controlled with a flimsy meat flap. Or putting the male g spot in the ass.
If this is all a simulation, someone is having a riot of a time messing with mods and screwing with character gen.

For me there’s an inverse relationship with makeup and hotness. I think women wear makeup for other women. I like my partner regardless of how much face paint she puts on, but maybe that’s just me.
Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Bro she’d be really hot if her eyelashes were longer, if her lips were unnaturally large and bloated, if her nails were as long as a Therizinosaurus, if her cheeks were sucked into her mouth and none existent, if her jaw was sharp and defined enough to sharpen a blade, if her hair was an obscure color like hot pink, if her hips to butt ratio was so large that if she was a normal person I would feel pity and put her down.

Mates, makeup ain’t for y’all. You know how you spent eight hours messing with your .bashrc or rolling for counter strike skins or whatever weirdass hobby you have? You don’t do it because you are trying to attract women - you see your friends get into something cool and you get competitive with them. That’s what it is for the womenfolk. They get their nails did and do weird ass makeup looks because it’s a fun hobby. They know that you probably don’t care about the difference between coffin and ballerina nails. But their friends do, and they want to show off, because it’s fun.

LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Yeah you’re right women only put makeup on for work and never do it cause they want to, never use colors or styles they think are pretty, never take pictures of their makeup done to show to their friends, spend 0 time in communities dedicated to discussing techniques and styles that are popular
You’re totally right we all only do it cause of social obligations and hate doing it

tryptaminev@feddit.de 1 year ago
And the notion of what is looking good and bad is a result of heavily sexualized norms that are fed into girls at a young age already. In the effect women who chose not to wear makeup are facing backlash and are made to feel less confident.
So it isn’t just a fun hobby. It is also the expression and often submission to sexualized and sexist societal norms.
