Thinkin' about the "i need help with makeup" thing on "advice"... I started thinkin again... Now I thought I should put this into the deep thinking, but I don't wanna spoil the topic.


So why do women wax and model their eyebrows and wear makeup and men who are doing the same thing are considered effeminated?

And what I'd like to know is who was the first biatch who started this trend. PMSL

Let's say women wax because they feel they're more clean that way (right)... Again, why are men who wax considered effeminated?

Why do women pick their eyebrows? To make themselves even more feminine? What about makeup? We're just like peacocks trying to get attention. Why can't men do it too? Because they have other means?

I for one wax because it's always been there as a sort of unwritten rule and because I sort of like my skin to be smooth. But I like hair on a guy. Not imense amounts, but enough.

It might be a question of women being sort of delicate and men being... Well MEN. PMSL. But why the waxing in particular? Where did this whole thing start?

I wonder if monkeys would do it.

Bygone.

So what do y'all think of this, or what are the other things you don't understand that men do and women don't and vice versa.

Anyhow... I don't get what you're saying. I know it's supposed to be meaningful, but I just don't.

No bliss this is all the kinda stuff I was talking baout really. I personally think most/ a lot of women do all that stuff for men/women and it is none that men/women like a smooth bit of lfesh to get a hold of. A lot of people fall victim to the steroetypes that society dictates but each to their own, and I think in a lot od places the sexism is starting to unravel a bit now. It is a lot more acceptable for men to use moisturiser and all the rest of it, sometimes men can go too far but that all depends on the woman/man that is doing the judging!

Well Bliss, I was a teenager in the 80's.
New Romantics.
I love make-up on a man.
I dont equate it with the man being effeminate just because he likes to accentuate his eyes with mascara or whatever.
There are men who like to feel 'womanly' (?) by waxing their legs, wearing make-up and female clothes. I actually have no idea why these men do this, hence the question mark after my word 'womanly'.
I wouldnt ridicule them for it, live and let live.
But, as I say in the 80's what one would have called 'normal straight' men wore make-up a bit and I like it.
And seeing as we all ogle male film stars who are wearing make-up (some not so subtle as others) it is in a sense acceptable anyways?

i aint even getting into this, ..women are aliens

As far as I've seen it here tonite... It's been said that the man is supposed to hunt and cook and all the woman should do is look pretty and take care of the baby. The pain is enough anyway.

Interesting Titwhippa. Thanks for my new obsession.

It reminds me of a joke about a man that had a ring rash at the end of his bits - a bright red ring - but it turns out it was only because the good lady was wearing bright red lipstick...

See old photos of Rudolph Valentino, buster keaton, charlie chaplin......they all wore make-up to enhance their looks. Jonny Weismuller waxed his legs. Serious Cyclists today do. Arab men wear kohl on their eyes. and the men hold hands as a sign of friendship. Different cultures.
Apparently Julius Caesar wore just as much make-up as Cleopatra.
So did our kings of old.
Men plucked their eyebrows and wore lipstick in the 1920s.
My dad is 79. We have photos of him, until he went to school aged 5 he had long curly hair down to his shoulders and he wore a dress. It was normal in those days.
People think I am weird because my son aged one wore pink tartan trousers to my wedding. He looked lovely.
I guess everyone has a different take on these things.
