Older guy here.
I have always avoided dating women who would plaster shit all over their faces. I'd rather see those pores, freckles (actually I'm sucker for freckles), etc. I do like a bit of eye liner or shadows (or whatever it's called) lipstick/gloss, mascara. Accents, if you will. But someone with their faces under a coat of primer, paint, and lacquer, like a car?
Also, I want to have a good idea of what they'll look like in the morning.
That's such a Reddit take.
this is exactly why !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone had to be created, to get a reprieve from creeps like you
It's cute you think anyone cares about your opinion on women's makeup.
I care.
It's interesting that you have such poor reading comprehension. I'm stating what I find attractive, I state no opinion on amke up per se. You do you.
It's not poor reading comprehension. The post pertained to makeup formulations changing over time and you jump right in with your opinion on the kind of makeup you find unattractive, as if anybody cares. My issue is with the insulting way you describe women doing the kind of makeup that you don't like. You seem to feel that if you don't find it attractive, it's OK to denigrate it. It's rude and sexist because women exist and do things according to their own preferences and don't give a shit if you like it or not.
And I'm not the only one pointing this out to you, but you seem determined not to understand.
Protip: dont judge women by how they choose to present themselves. Its sexist.
I'm not judging women, I'm drawing red lines. I'm stating my preferences in dating situations. I also don't like unkempt women for dating purposes, or overly tattooed, or too far right wing, or religious zealots, etc...
I imagine you have some standards?
sounds very judgemental to me...
Of course it is judging, everyone judges. You are doing so right now with those comments.
People are allowed to have preferences. And too much make-up is indicative of having a fake personality. So I stay clear of those kinds of people as well.
... or, you know, makeup is fun and we use it for self-expression. Jesus christ.
It's really not. Women wear makeup for all kinds of reasons. It's really nobody else's business but their own.
Of course I'm judgemental about someone spewing sexist tropes, thats different from judging how someone chooses to present themselves.
Descriptive. If you reread, i'm stating what ** I** find attractive.
Anybody is free to do whatever they like as long as they don't harm others, or cause an objective harm to society.
Within those limits you may do as you please, and I'll defend your right to, but I don't have to like it.
Commenting in discussions about makeup, to tell wearers of it that your dick doesn't get hard for them if they were their make up a certain way, is a very weird thing to do.
Do you think people who wear makeup are doing it just for you and your pleasure, but as some are doing it 'wrong' you need to step in and correct them?
Sheesh, this is getting tiring!
I'M NOT TELLING ANYBODY TO DO OR NOT DO ANYTHING! I'M NOT JUDGING! I'M SAYING THAT I LIKE CERTAIN THINGS, AND DON'T LIKE CERTAIN OTHERS.
If I'm not attracted to furries, am I being a bigot?
If you choose to go into furry spaces/discussions just to tell furries that you aren't sexually attracted to them... yeah, that does kinda make you a bigot.
Eg, you’re looking for this.
Nope. I don't look for anything, I just avoid certain things, as I suspect most people do in their romantic endeavors.
You avoid makeup that you can notice. The vast majority of women wear makeup, and often go to great lengths for a “natural” look.
And that I find attractive. Even women who have no full face stuff, but do their eyeliner with those pointy ends, or whimsical stuff like that. I'm basically not attracted to women who look like real life versions of a beauty photo filter.
My dude this is exactly what "no makeup makeup" is.
I imagine that is it.
I never said that I am against makeup, or even against people with Amidala/Kabuki levels of make-up. You do you. I'm stating my personal preferences in the "romantic interest" area, which should be absolutely fine by everybody.
If you criticise my preferences you are being a bit of a fascist, no?
Go criticise furries, for example, in public, see where that gets you.
No. What a ridiculous thing to say.
