Mates, makeup ain’t for y’all. You know how you spent eight hours messing with your .bashrc or rolling for counter strike skins or whatever weirdass hobby you have? You don’t do it because you are trying to attract women - you see your friends get into something cool and you get competitive with them. That’s what it is for the womenfolk. They get their nails did and do weird ass makeup looks because it’s a fun hobby. They know that you probably don’t care about the difference between coffin and ballerina nails. But their friends do, and they want to show off, because it’s fun.

    Wow, this is a wake up call. I have been wasting my time on this .bashrc file.

    Time I enjoy wasting isn't wasted time ... so yeah, totally wasted on .bashsrc, but the programmer socks make up for it.

    Yeah women spend an hour on makeup before their shitty job they hate every morning because they just like it as a fun thing to do, totally nothing to do with societal pressures of beauty, it's just a fun thing most women like to do to entertain themselves at 6am when they ain't getting enough sleep as is.

    Yeah you're right women only put makeup on for work and never do it cause they want to, never use colors or styles they think are pretty, never take pictures of their makeup done to show to their friends, spend 0 time in communities dedicated to discussing techniques and styles that are popular

    You're totally right we all only do it cause of social obligations and hate doing it

    Maybe it's a guy thing to want to look hot primarily to attract a mate, so that's why hetero men think women do everything just to look good for them.

    Wow, seems like you are the only reasonable person on lemmy. Kudos!

    Users here love to hate other platforms for their hostile comments but continue to create an equally toxic environment just with a different flavor.

    As long as people have fun and don’t hurt anybody, let them roam.

    And the notion of what is looking good and bad is a result of heavily sexualized norms that are fed into girls at a young age already. In the effect women who chose not to wear makeup are facing backlash and are made to feel less confident.

    So it isn't just a fun hobby. It is also the expression and often submission to sexualized and sexist societal norms.
