Drop the "usually"

Very much still a boy if you don't know this

Some guys sadly never reach the requisite level of maturity to graduate to manhood.

Yeah lol I’d say most men have seen at least a couple women without makeup. Like if nothing else moms/aunts/sisters/cousins, if not friends/intimate partners (if they’re attracted to/date women on the latter point)

......................and some women look better without than others. Do we all understand skin quality is variable?

What? Men should know makeup alters your appearance, but how is one supposed to divine how much? Some people are naturally attractive or use less than others. Some people can look drastically different with clever techniques. Some use a ton, that's not apparent in photos.

"man develops app to discover women are cute without makeup, more at 11"

Any man that whines about women wearing makeup in any way is just signaling to everyone he's a waste of their time.

I think makeup is cool, the standard of having to wear makeup is bullshit. When my girlfriend doesn't wear makeup people ask if she's sick. It seems like a lot of work.

e: this app is weird af though

This is one of the biggest reasons I never got into makeup. I remember being a teen and hearing people ask women, "Are you okay?" when they didn't do their full makeup routine. I thought, "Man, it's got to hurt to feel like having a natural face means something's wrong with you. I'd rather go into the world how I am and have that be accepted as normal."

[–] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I could honestly see it if it's like, someone who has known you for 20 years and you make a point of always doing your face to the nines. like maybe it's genuine concern, changes like that can signal having low energy associated with depression or etc etc etc but then I'm an overthinker and I worry too much.

But it's like work acquaintances will do it to her when she doesnt do full foundation and this and that and the other thing, which is just so goddamn rude.

I had a coworker apologizing for her appearance "What's the big deal? You're just not wearing makeup today.", her and another older coworker were surprised and the older one stopped wearing makeup to work the next day with a smile on her face.

is she pale and uses it to add color? makes a lot of sense.

i am a very pale dude and people accuse me of being sick my entire life ever since i was a kid. i've never really been sick though.

it never occurs to people that being pale is natural or acceptable. it's always something to mock, and make fun of and seeing as negative.

i just think it's fucking weird to be so judgemental and hostile about other people's skin color(s). but i don't ever really comment or think about on other people's pigments or lack thereof.

Natural is also attractive

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

usually know what?

edit: ... the headline has removed 'without makeup'

very funny

I expect sexism in the comments and I'm still disappointed every time. Yikes. Do better Lemmy.

[–] compostgoblin@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right? Holy shit. I am surprised and a bit perturbed by how many people are on board with sexism in this thread

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A lot of parts of Lemmy have a sexism problem

Makeup is art, and the face is a canvas. The only time when it isn't okay is when it becomes an expectation rather than something done freely.

I don't even bother with dating profiles where every single photo has a filter on it. It's anyone's guess what the person actually looks like.

"Man develops app to put pre-made filter on top of women photo to match developer's opinions based on too much of JoeRogan and other such podcasts"

I never thought that journalism in 2026 could match back side of my comic book mag from 2006...

Modern make up sucks. Used to, women put on lots of make up to look all glamorous and sexy. Now they put on lots of make up to look like a Quake map.

Last time this picture/tweet was posted I believe the purpose of it was to help locate victims of human trafficking.
