Is it a turnoff if your partner in bed is wearing MAKEUP?

[yeahright1991]

Fact,

If you are in my bed we ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING REAL CLOSE...D-u-h.

In my bed we wear each other out and nothing else is needed. If you are

that insecure, we dim the lights some more.

...not if you're with someone who takes ritalin lol.

 

[glasvegas]

Our family have a inside joke about not dating girls with heavy make up, once they remove it, you'll regret why you sleep with her.

So will this turn you off if you see your partner in bed is wearing makeup or has acne scars?

Makeup is more disturbing than acne scars, save up and get dermabrasion.

Refuji: That's a copout and you know it. I've seen plenty of women who are knockouts without makeup; a bit of cosmetic assistance simply serves to enhance what's already there. I've been doing quite a lot of reading online and it seems like men are getting more comfortable with the concept of makeup. Sooner or later, we're going to be seeing more and more men who are comfortable with a bit of natural, light liner and shadow (such as myself) than in days past. I personally think a bit of concealer, shadow and liner goes a looong way in making my appearance go from average to fantastic (and you can't notice it unless you look very closely).

I'm not sure about the shadow and liner, not something I do. But the concealer 110%.

Men having to look rough and like they've been through a battle ended in the 70's. Or even before that, I'd say it really started with the advent of safety razors and men starting to take pride in their appearance with silly things such as vegetal rubs and balms after shaving.

This gives me the urge to start a similar but opposite thread

Wow. I can't believe I'm reading this. Yes, I believe in nice, clean, healthy skin. Creams and toners are ok too. But actual make up? no way. If it's as you say, that more men are going to wear make up, and now more women are going au natural, shit! I'm going to go back to women! Apparently some women are becomming more manyly then some men.

Honestly, I love men. Rugged, imperfect, hairy men!

Whereas masculinity also appeals to me on a most primal level, I cannot champion such unreasonably defined concepts of 'manliness'. In a similar vein to Chris' post, men are no longer so resolutely confined to iniquitous gender roles. A man using product to conceal his acne scars or periorbital dark circles is not a beacon of femininity, but more likely self-consciousness and insecurity. (I also loathe the misogynistic conjecture that a man feeling insecure is 'womanly', but that discussion feels slightly off-topic.)

Either way, if I'm with a man, I want him to feel confident and attractive. If wearing make-up is what allows for him to feel that way, then I have absolutely no objections; similar to his choice to trim, shave, or leave his body hair au naturel (correct, oakpope? ) . However, I would also wish for him to feel secure in the knowledge that I see through his physical imperfections to the man beyond, and that in bed with me he needn't conceal his acne scars, blemishes, or flaws.

He is in bed with me because I want him to be there, imperfections and all - and the only reason I'd kick him out is to have sex on the floor.

Really??? Women with hairy armpits and legs?

I like men with hair...and my women clean shaven.

 

[Telstra]

Is he hot?
if yes, i don't mind him wearing makeup in bed.

 

[tonyboy]

I would mind the acne as much as the makeup. Once was with a great guy that had acne scars on his face and his back. He was the most gentle lover that you could imagine. He also had a large belly, though he was only 22. I liked him very much. But I'd not like the makeup.

 

[ThatRandomGuy]

No depending on how it's worn. Grunge looks, eyeliner or simple foundation is fine. In fact depending on the masculinity or roughness of it, it can be a good turn on. Make-up can be used to blend or give a new perspective on things which isn't always a bad thing. There's even types of cover-up that helps with acne while being worn and taking care of your health is never a turn off for me.

 

[rareboy]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The question wasn't about wearing make-up.

It was about whether wearing it to bed would be a major turn-off.

For most guys I think this appears to be a resounding yes.

I think that most straight guys don't really like their women wearing a lot of make-up in bed if they are honest about it.

Outside the bedroom...that is another story. Wear as much as you want.

 

[ThatRandomGuy]

In bed it wouldn't matter as much for me. I'd have other things on my mind.

Would be confusing if the pillow was more recognizable than your date.

I agree fully with you dear Anders (yes au naturel ). What saddens me here is the level of 'anti-tolerance'. You would reject someone only on the fact that he uses some make-up ? That is so limiting for me Personally I don't wear make-up nor do I think I need to. I often don't like how women look like when they have too much. But to each its own, and on some men, make-up are just right. If a man is brilliant, has a fascinating personality and is kind, I would most probably don't care at all if he wears make-up !
And thinking that wearing make-up lowers someone's masculinity is laughable, we should know better than to judge someone on such trivial thing.

There is so much hate in this world, we don't need to had more over this kind of petty reasoning, in my opinion.

My unfortunate experiences include dates where my pillow would have been a better choice.

Oak honey,

the path to my personal bed goes right through the jacuzzi and shower. The smell of

soap and water, not Revlon or even the perfume people can compete with that in my

boudoir ...butt, to each his/her own. I happen to like the taste of fresh eyelids, ears

and chins. If we're just talking a pig in a poke at a party or something like that, my

standards are not nearly as high.

 

[oakpope]

Lefty dear To each his own, and I understand your point of view (that I share mostly even !), but this thread was turning on full scale war and that made me sad, that we can argue that much over such a minor thing

 

[ibill1]

Yes. I would rather see his acne scars, huge pores, whatever; than to see a guy wearing make-up. However, the chances of ever ending up in bed with a guy that wears make-up are slim to none. I guess it is possible that it is completely undetectable, but I doubt it.

 

[refujiunderground]

We get that you think life sucks - your blogs point that out. But do you really need to make someone feel bad for asking a simple YES or NO question. Does that require a diatribe? If it's not for you...then it's not for you. No need to point out that YOUR life isn't perfect. Most lives aren't but I work damn hard to make sure mine is as close to perfect as I can get - and it's fabulous.

good for you. with that said, i don't give a fuck.

but it's true. after all, i'm gay. even if i saw the most beautifulest women outthere with the bestest body, most attractive face doing stripper tricks trying to get my dick hard coming on to me, i don't think that would catch a crush, romantic or sexual feelings for her just off of that. it is what it is.

hey, whatever you want to do. all i can say is that i think men are more beautiful than woman where makeup isn't needed. i'm surprised someone like yourself actually thinks that you need makeup or you find yourself average looking without it. you're cute. it's always the posters in here that are good looking that are the most insecure about their looks or trying to downplay their shit. wtf? the self esteem general on this forum is so low that we can't even power up a lightbulb.

and i would like to lick a guy's face acned up or not than with makeup all over his face. to each his own.

Fact,

If you are in my bed we ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING REAL CLOSE...D-u-h.

well, some people look better with the lights low. others just look better with the lights off. some people don't pay the light bill regularly so they can feel sexy and beautiful all the time. i'm not one of them though because i don't give a fuck.

 

[72-Jay]

I don't think you should wear makeup, just be you, let your natural beauty shine

This is all that really needs to be said...
