No you fool, us men have a sweet deal going. While the lady folk are applying make-up and all that, us males can get away with a quick shower, some deodorant and a clean shirt. Don't ruin that.

how would Kiss look without makeup? ridiculous...
overdoing make up is bad on men and women (make up is good if you dont notice it right away). But sure, men should care for their look too, if they want.

Well there not doing any harm, so they should be able to wear it.
Having said that it looks ridiculous and is very cringe worthy.

Are we talking "make me pretty" make-up? Not "I'm going on camera/stage" make-up.
I welcome it, for one, it'd be hilarious.
For two, it'd be a lot harder to tell who's a dude and who's a chick, which works in my favour... Wuhahahahaahahah *lightning*

make up for men?
war paint has been around for a VERY long time, you know.
all kidding aside though, I thought make was supposed to fade with equality because women are no longer measured by their looks (ideally), but now it seems it means that men ALSO will be judged by their looks.
shit!

I cannot picture any scenario in which I would want to wear make-up myself[footnote]Well, not any realistic scenario... I imagine I would wear it if I was paid well and/or threatened...[/footnote], but I don't have a problem with guys that want to, as quite frankly, it doesn't have an effect on my life.
Sure, why not. I have no idea WHY they'd want to, though.
I've worn light stage makeup. Even a light application makes me sweat (even when not under stagelight), feels slippery, is a bit irritating and doesn't make me look much better. Wearing anything resembling that all the time sounds awful.

I must say that I generally concur with your sentiments.JoJo said:
Should we outlaw it? Hell no, people an do whatever the fuck they want, but that doesn't mean I approve of it necessarily. I personally like men and I don't find men wearing makeup to be very attractive, other than that whatever.
Unless you're cosplaying or something then go for it.
OP, you should also add "complete indifference" to your poll so as to not skew results, I suspect many escapists just don't care that much.
I'm not keen on makeup full stop. Nothing screams turn off more than watching an otherwise pretty lady apply layer after layer of shit and come out the other end slightly more uncanny-valley.
Makeup on men? I wont stop you but I almost certainly will laugh.

i think they should be able too, but ...what kinda makeup are we talking about? the skin tone clown face woman wear or somthing else?
personally im against any makeup at all, unless on TV, the lights make you look paler than what you normally are and it just brings the colours back. in real life though, i refuse to hide behind a mask. if you dont like my natural face well, to bad for you.

If men want to wear make up then go for it.
Those "alpha nails" are ridiculous though. The target consumer are usually the most homophobic pricks out there but "alpha" makes them cool I guess? Give me a break.

While I find all those product completely retarded, if someone wants to use them, more power to them. However, I highly doubt I'll ever socialize with anyone donning said products. Unless your job involves you being in front of a camera for long periods of time, make up on dudes just isn't right.
Yeah I should've made that more clear. The stage make up doesn't really do anything except make your face less shiny, right?sky14kemea said:
I dont think I made it very clear why I dislike the idea of makeup for men. I don't want to wear make up, but what if it takes off and most men start wearing it? Will I be considered ugly for not wanting to wear it? Will I be turned down for jobs because I didn't put in the effort to look my best?
Ideally I feel we should be moving away from women wearing make up, not the other round as these products are suggesting.
I will wear my flame-bearing sconce if I so choose!Rose and Thorn said:I don't find men with makeup any stranger then women with makeup. What is strange to me is when one thing is supposed to be ok for women and not men. or vice-versa.
Braziers don't count.
So, better, amirite?Jenvas1306 said:
Anyways! On-topic! Does it matter? Some people look good with the proper application of makeup, some don't. I don't, so I don't wear it. *scratching head* Is this really a discussion that exists in 2012?
