Better a first rate man than a second rate woman and vice versa.

You saying youd rather hook up with a hot guy than an average woman???

Mate youd love Thailand

No, that's you projecting if Thailand is where you gained your sexual wisdom.

I wouldnt call it wisdom but I certainly learnt alot.

Most of it I sincerely wish I could unlearn

Everything clashed with my outfit.

I hear you, prison-jumper orange is a tough color.

And furthermore I'm not a huge fan of makeup on women either. Ever get up close and feel like you're looking at a rubber Halloween mask??

I don't even need to get up close. We see that makeup style on TV. Compare that to the vintage looks on Pinterest (1960's and 1970's) and the difference is obvious.

It was a tube top with yoga pants.

The thought of that being true just left me partially paralyzed.

Thanks for sparing us the details of your foreign sojourn.

Guys wearing make-up ?!

What kind of millenial new-age girly fem crap is that ?!

I have no idea how to halt the pansification of the Western male. I don't know who's behind it.

I'm glad I'm old. The civilized world has crumbled.

Yeah, it's like witnessing a slow motion car crash. A pansified (to use your expression) male population is much easier to control and less likely to effectively rebel against unjust treatment, colonisation etc. I would say this might provide some clue as to who/what might be behind what is a clear and sustained attack on masculinity by demonising masculine behaviour as toxic.

Or we could take a look at these male politicians who had make-up applied before TV appearances!

Here's a pic of our HUD secretary getting an aesthetic "boost"

Snap shot of an average guy.

Oh, okay then.... here ya go:



Foundation and under eye make-up to get him all purdy-like for his photo op.

Don't confuse the spray on tan for the foundation he has on top of that... and the 600 pounds of hair spray to hold his comb-over in place. Or the $100 manly manicured fingernails.





Oh, and I forgot to mention the Nice N' Easy #124 Wheat Blonde hair dye...

Yea but...but that's different!

Then I dare not mention the ever-so-slight sheen on Trump's lips to give them a bit more of a youthful look... otherwise known as the magic of lip balm (transluscent lipstick).

Don't want to cause poor seasonal to have an emotional manly breakdown or something.

a reply to: CranialSponge

Maybe according to OP it's acceptable for certain men to wear make-up but only for special occasions?

Oh god. I have a half-used tube of Chapstick in my pocket literally right this second. I hadn't even considered the danger I'm in or whether it's okay with other people for me to use it. Ohhhh noooooo

a reply to: Shamrock6

No no, you're safe.

Chapstick is for manly men, it has no sheen.

Professional lip balms give that cute little sheen to give the illusion of youthful vitality.



You're still allowed to carry your man card.

... unless of couse your Chapstick is Wild Cherry flavour ?

Then we might have to question your hand size.

a reply to: CranialSponge

But that's Hollyweird, not real life.

a reply to: CranialSponge

No Wild Cherry, but it does have SPF in it
