Doesn't bother me I'm curious

Yes I am..how's that relevant?

Who said I look at them In any way? (seems you're the one judging here)

Guys wear makeup now too (apparently) not a trend I've seen but..considering what goes on It wouldn't be considered unusual

Don't mind really, just curious

So what's your opinion of guys who wear makeup?

I appear to have spotted a trend which has honestly got me baffled

Lately, I've noticed more and more women seem to do their lipstick in a fashion that either makes them look like they've had an allergic reaction to peanuts, or they are trying to do their best impression of the Joker in The Dark Knight?

Could anyone explain this, please??

You asked a question alright, it was dripping with derision.

I'm off to bed but it may take me some time.
By the time I remove my fake eyelashes, fake lips, highlights, fake eyes(:eek:), makeup and my wooden leg, it could be morning.:)

And then you need to be up super early to put it all back on again. Life can be so cruel.

Or one where someone asks a question and the cackle gang don't show up to tell the presumably male OP that he's a sad sexless little man who is crap in bed for asking the question.

Personally not a fan of makeup. Prefer the "natural look" IE human. And yes I can tell. The overdone near theatrical stuff I really don't like, but whatever floats your boat. Free country and all. Though IMH all that paint and false frontage is extremely pressurising on women(though I can see how it could be a cloak of comfort too).

Edit: And what I mean by that is it's only a bit of banter. Lighten up. No need to be so offended. Can't make a joke these days without someone crying about the cackle gang.

Threads like this always make me laugh. Men thinking women wear makeup and alter their appearance to please them. As if.

As if I'm going out, spending all my money trying to impress someone who couldn't tell the difference between myth and snob.

If women are happy doing their faces, they're doing it for themselves.

As a member of the last generation obliged to wear pantyhose everywhere, I can state that if we're unhappy doing our faces, it's probably for work. Of course at my age I don't even get a "you look nice" from my husband anymore, and I confuse the cats. One time I literally forgot to do my face before heading off to the office (I was working from home four days a week) and my boss said, "Something looks different about you". I said, to be mischievous, "I did my makeup different today". He said, "Oh. ... I like that shade of lipstick; it looks natural on you". As an Aspie myself, sometimes I go all guilty when I tease the engineers.

Edit: As an Aspie, I also just now realized, six years after the fact, that he was probably trying to tell me I looked especially appealing to him that day. DOH.

Genuinely find it distasteful/unattractive to see a woman out and about who looks like she'd need a shovel to clear the make-up off her face. I don't mention it because it's their choice to look that way and if they're happy, good luck to them.

Having said of all that - why is it we live in a society where women feel the need to do that?

Less is definitely more imo, but hey, who am I to challenge a hundred years of societal evolution where even very early teens feel the need to cake themselves in the latest most expensive products they can get their hands on. Also where's the parenting aspect to it all.

Meh.

That's a common misconception. I'm not saying they are doing it for men, but it is for the benefit of others.

It extends to the clothes we wear, the haircut we have whether people like to admit it or not.

It is how we want to be perceived when people view us. It's a bit pathetic but such is life. If you or I or anyone was the last person on earth, we wouldn't care less what was on our face or what we were wearing.

Although there are people who truly don't care what they look like and more power to them.

It's not a misconception. It's a misconception to think women apply makeup to their faces to impress an uneducated eye. Do you think a man can appreciate a well done cut crease? Do you think a man notices a perfect winged eyeliner? Do you think he appreciates higher cheekbones? If you asked a man what colour lipstick I had on this morning, he'd tell you pink. It's not any pink though. It's candy yum yum. It's a pink with blue undertones. I love looking at women with nice makeup and trying to figure out and guess what products she's got on.
I don't get up at 6:20 to paint my face to give some old man on the train something to look at in between reading the paper and eating oranges. I do it for me because it's something I love doing.

Things I've seen - fake arses (no seriously, arse padding!), fake eyelashes, fake hair, fake earlobes in one instance, and fake everything else.

It's like you'd be waking up beside someone that was nothing like who you went to bed with.

Are you sure you weren't mistaking your blowup for an actual woman? In which case - she'll still be there looking the same in the morning

With an open goal like that, do you really expect women not to respond? And calling us 'the cackle gang'? I would have expected better from you Wibbs.

No - I have no idea what you're talking about

I use a dating site and was once talking to a girl, who I thought was attractive and complimented her as such. She then told me how it was all shadows, makeup, and Photoshop. Photoshop?? She was being absolutely serious. She had use it to alter her photos and couldn't understand why I said this seemed slightly deceiving, asking whether I said the same about makeup. Told her makeup was one thing, but digitally altering your photos was another thing entirely.

Do many people do this?! I mean, do some guys? Do whole thing seems very.. misleading.

It's like the filters on snapchat. Filters to give you more colour or to smooth out your skin. Effort of it though. Sometimes I'd use an app like FaceTune to try remove my dimples but I wouldn't put altered pics up on a dating site. Imagine. Expecting beyonce to walk in and it's actually ian Beale. Awks.

This is it exactly. Filters. Black and white photos. Whatever else is not that bad, because you're not exactly changing your appearance, as such. But from what she was saying she had done quite a lot of work on each one.

Why? Dimples are sexy!

Speaking as an auld fella (41) internet dating, tinder and so on came too late for me, when I was single I had to actually leave my house to meet women:eek:
But some dolly bird plastered in make up would very definitely be a last resort, if by some freak chance, my charms failed me and I was leaving the pub without a natural beauty on my arm.:)
One of my first girlfriends quite literally would not leave the house till she'd spent about 2 hours putting on her war paint - popping out of the house on a whim was absolutely out of the question, everything became an ordeal of waiting and planning. We broke up and I swore I'd never go out with anyone like that again and since then I've only gone out with women who don't wear makeup all the time.
If you're going out somewhere special or you want to look particualarly good for some reason then have at it - but 2 hours of waiting to go for a walk in the park, or to go get milk across the road / do grocery shopping or some bullshít or other like that - just no.
Life is short, no woman is worth all that hanging around for!

I do believe one of my relatives may never have seen his wife without makeup. I don't judge her on it. White want to be brown. Brown want to be white. It's been same the way eternally.I believe in the harm principle for adults. (Except of course where some cosmetics may have been tested on animals. Then again so are many drugs. Hmm...an interesting dilemma. Perhaps for another thread).

Guys lying about their height seems fairly common. Also their age, but I'd imagine there's plenty of women who do that too


I've also had guys message me using fake photos (reverse image search ftw!) and I've seen blatantly photoshopped photos (badly photoshopped, very badly ).

Haha a friend of mine met her fella on plenty of fish. He swears blind he's 6 foot but when I wear heels, I'm towering over him, so he's no more than 5'8. But he insists he is.

I'm sure one of the posters will be along soon and fix your post to 6 inches.

I haven't seen this lip thing the OP is on about. But if it involves putting a lip liner outside the natural outline of your lips then that was a trend when I was a teenager in the 90's. It will be replaced by something else.

Irish/UK women seem to be the worst for it, not a good look at all.
