I prefer the look on the right… I don't really need women to look like a Star Trek character

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 72 points 2 weeks ago

99% of the time women look prettier without heavy makeup. That's just my opinion that nobody asked for though 🤷‍♀️

As a victim of rape, I cannot put into words how insulting this is

If you look at the left one and can't tell, that's on you ...

Also, I hate current makeup trends. Uncanny valley type of shit

This argument is stupid either way of course... But I find the picture on the right way more attractive.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed in a 100 % non-objectifying way (as you are as well). Velma can go kick rocks.

I am crazy or is she not way more attractive without the makeup?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Part of it is she's authentically smiling and joyful without the makeup instead of doing that forced neutral "Paris Hilton" kind of look with the make-up.

Turns out when people are happy and in a good mood they're more attractive. Who knew?

I'm so glad these losers use "female". I don't have to waste time taking them seriously.

That post is like some precision engineered engagement bait. There are multiple axes of conflict that ensnare people in the mood to argue or share their opinions.

How can this be anything other than rage bait when the woman on the right is so pretty and the language is so gross and offensive?

Fucking dumbasses. And she's beautiful in both pics. But holy hell you have to be stupid to not know that the first one is wearing makeup. What next, someone shocked my lips aren't naturally dark red or black?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Damn I hate it when I get seduced by women wearing makeup, it's the worst thing ever, I hope it doesn't happen this weekend.

I don't think I've ever seen commentary like this offered up by a guy who actually stood even the slightest chance of actually having sex with whatever woman he's complaining about.

Jeremy looks like the sort of guy who thinks the waitress is coming on to him because she smiled and called him "hon."

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Is she not wearing makeup on both photos? The left is obvious because no one has a face like that, but on the right, that skin tone looks way too uniform to be anyone's natural skin.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Men can't tell the difference between actual no-makeup and a no-makeup-look. Ask my husband. We've been working on his ability to tell the difference. 😂

I'd be disappointed if I was expecting the woman on the right and the one on the left showed up, but not enough to call it sexual assault, that's wild

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

female

Quick, someone post the Ferengi!

If you can't tell when a woman is wearing makeup you probably don't spend much time around them.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Another example of "Everyone is twelve now."

Yeah kiddo, I know you're surprised women look different when we put on makeup. You're twelve!

[–] heavy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm convinced these people don't actually like women. Sounds weird typing that out, but you'd have to be an absolute fool to not understand the context around make up in society and what attractive looks like.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No judgement, but she looks happier on the right.

Also my condolences to Jeremy's hand.

Friendly reminder that on X, the everything app with Super Grok, posts can be monetized. So it's all fabricated shit mixed with stupidity to maximize engagement.

It really reaches a new level of bullshit in this post when you find out that men wore make-up but it just went out of fashion.

I'd like to try out some make up styles that could enhance my masculine facial features, just to see what it looks like. Is that a thing?

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 14 points 2 weeks ago

Totally. Check out contouring. And, if there's a beauty school near you, they might have cheap make up appointments where you can watch what they use and how they do it while you get glammed up. They're students so they take their time, makes it easy to follow.

Idk why this dude has such a strong opinion like he's ever going to make sexual contact with a woman.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

Menchildren are really experts at blaming women for anything and everything, including not understanding basics like "people look a bit different with make up, which is the point".

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Conservatives will show you two pictures of a conventionally attractive person looking conventionally attractive, and then caption it some bs like "the age of men has fallen."

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

"Doesn't disclose up front"?

If the guy can't tell that the left one isn't all natural, he seriously needs to get his eyes checked and stop playing games or watching movies that suggest otherwise.

To extend the tiniest bit of charity to him, those games and movies are part of the problem. Sure, some women like to feel pretty, but if every woman looks perfectly styled all the time in the middle of an apocalypse, their contouring and eye-shadow as immaculate when waking up as it was when they went to sleep with it, I can kinda get how someone who rarely interacts with women comes away with the impression that's what women typically look like.

Of course, "rarely interacts with women" is hardly a compliment (and using the term "females" sure isn't helping his case).
