Slovakia 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 In conversation with That One Friend Of Mine From That One LSD Thread, she posted a picture of one of her friends who was wearing some eyeliner and mascara and some other glittery shit. She went on to say that guys are hot in makeup, because hey, look at Butch Walker. Sorry, I'll cave in on everything else dealing with her, but I'm not putting makeup on. Ever. I've got my dignity. I'm baffled by this one and hope that someone can explain to me why guys wearing makeup can be construed as attractive. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel that guys are supposed to be pretty low-maintenance in their appearances. Sure, when you need to look nice, look nice. But you shouldn't devote time to putting sparkly crap on your face. That's just stupid. I hope the whole board doesn't give me the backlash of the century and condemn me for not wearing makeup.

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Usually, I agree. But a little black eyeliner looks very, very hot on some guys. See Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Carribean. Anything else is pushing it. Glitter? No. Mascara? No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Guys shouldn't be wearing any makeup of any sort, even nail polish. If that's your thing, go for it, but I don't see why a guy would do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Disagree with you there Zackster. Black nail polish looks hot some. Stupid on most, yes. But hot on some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Eh, it's just personal opinion. You could also take into consideration that I've got the whole prep/surfer dude style going on and never really considered it. Just not my taste in style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Well, Zack, I've seen pictures of you, and you're right: makeup and nail polish would look stupid on you. And some guys that do look like the posers in the strongest sense of the word. For example: the leader singer in Good Charlotte. It looks stupid. But it just looks fucking sexy on other guys. Example: I like that look on Shane West. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slovakia 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah that's the thing, like Zack said, I am also a prep, and would look foolish. When I've had to wear makeup for plays that I was in, I didn't think "this is something I could get used to!" I didn't like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 *stores all of what CanadianChick said into his memory for if they should ever meet* Make sure to look like gothic pirate raver...check Actually, it depends: On darker haired guys, I generally like the darker look. Not really goth, but darker, yes. If they play an instrument, it's even better. Example: Tom from Blink 182. Very hot. On lighter haired guys, I can't resist the beach-boy look. You know, blond hair (has to be longer or shaggy), green eyes, tanned. Can't get enough of that. Example: Edge (duh). Or just the cute, little guy look. Damn, I think this is the most girly I've ever gotten on this board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiny norman 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 What about when crossdressing? Because I do wear makeup generally when I do dress up, and it's all just for a bit of fun. Otherwise, I would never wear makeup. As for what look I am, I have longish light brown hair, but not the surfer look because I'm not too dark plus am a bit too hairy for that kind of thing. So wear do I fit in that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Well, I think nail polish, eyeliner stuff on guys looks pretty ugly . . . which is exactly why I want to wear it . . . well, black eyeliner; not nail polish; even I have my freakin limits; and I have blonde streaks in black hair; and glitta in the same hair (though that's because my friends insist on it when we go anywhere, after I did it once as a joke). But I'm lazy and thus can't be bothered to go find it and buy some black face-eyeliner-paint-whatever; but I'm sure I'll get around to eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Alright I've confirmed this with 6 women and the answer is a glaring 'men should never wear makeup'. Now I know some women here might say otherwise, but really, there posting here so they can't be considered normal. Basically, women like there men looking like men, not pampered and prettied little things. Basically if your that much of a metrosexual, there will be no sex involved, at least not with a vagina....

Firestarter 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 What about when crossdressing? Because I do wear makeup generally when I do dress up, and it's all just for a bit of fun. That is SO much fucking more than I needed to know. Between being forced to agree with SpiderPoet, and crossdressing wrestling fans, I think I'm about to vomit. Makeup is for girls. Is there really any more that needs to be said? No. If you're a guy, don't EVER put anything on your face other than aftershave. Ever. I don't care if you're gay or straight or bi or whatever kink you can think of, if you're a man have the decency to look like a goddamn man. This also means that if you have long hair, get a goddamn haircut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now everyone probably thinks I love it when men wear make-up. I don't. But I don't see the big deal with nail polish. Or on occassion, a little eyeliner. But if you wear glitter, you've crossed the decency line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2004 The only place where male makeup is appropriate is at a goth club or a Rocky Horror midnight show, in my opinion. Other than that (and utilitarian makeup for appearing on camera, stuff like that), leave it to the ladies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
