Should guys wear makeup?479Please respect copyright.PENANA4CZR66ti0z
It's up to the person, but shaming people who wear makeup and calling them names aren't cool. In Asian countries, men's skincare and makeup is big as well. Me? Well, haha. I wash my face... with water... I put on acne cream when I break out...? 479Please respect copyright.PENANA48uu620GDo
Oh, I was supposed to wear sunscreen every day?479Please respect copyright.PENANAjOxLZAFq6M
Jokes aside, don't be a wuss and start taking care of your skin. At least moisturise so your skin isn't crumbling off, dude. Your age will start to show in your 30s.479Please respect copyright.PENANAYgaZ6LVNUL
As for makeup, I sometimes wear concealer when my dark eye circles are too much, but face masks are a lifesaver. I find it hilarious when I get called gay though.479Please respect copyright.PENANAhny0LETX2r

Ehhhh... I heard guys prefer "natural faces" but we can barely tell if you're wearing makeup or not. It's always the "do you notice anything different?" game with my sister and mother, I swear... Unless you're wearing heavy eyeshadow and lipstick, I don't have a clue. So I'm not to judge; and people shouldn't judge and look down on people based on the amount of makeup they wear, so just do what you want. Everyone has their own personal preferences, but that's not an excuse to be rude to those who don't meet your preferences. Wearing makeup can be a form of art, but sometimes I come across Youtube videos of insane makeup that makes me wonder if I would I recognise women without their makeup. 479Please respect copyright.PENANAoDcjLA7kEX

Again, I'm going to be completely honest with you. Men, women whatever. I like people I find good-looking. Do I treat them better? Well, if you told me to interact with a stinky homeless person on the street and a hot man in a suit holding a chicken, I would choose the chicken. Most people have a bias against the things they like, right? However hard you try to change that, it's a biological instinct. You're attracted to who you're attracted to. If you had a choice to hire a good-looking person and an average-looking person with the same skillset and personality, most would choose the better-looking person, no? Of course, if the average-looking person had better skills, it'd then be unfair. Nowadays, people are more aware of the discrimination and preference towards beautiful individuals, but I don't think it's ever going to stop. After all, we're all contributing to the increasing popularity of good-looking people, consciously or unconsciously. I mean, I want to be extra nice to the person I like, and if that person is conventionally attractive, does that mean I'm being biased and I'm marginalising conventionally unattractive people?479Please respect copyright.PENANAyRO6X7KPC3
So just do whatever you want (within reason... you'd think this would be common sense but I'm concerned for the new generation these days...). Like whoever you like, and I'll do the same. I believe that despite your looks, there's always someone who will like you for you. Unless, of course, you're an absolute piece of crap beyond redemption. Unfortunately, there are people out there who're like that. You know it, I know it. 479Please respect copyright.PENANADZqX3TOSdU

I! Like! Good-looking! People! Is that so wrong? Am I automatically being cancelled for not being attracted to conventionally unattractive people???? Of course, personality matters too. But I'm a little superficial. Pretty people are pretty, alright?
