If she doesn't disclose up front that she's wearing makeup, that's sexual assault

Also, I hate current makeup trends. Uncanny valley type of shit

I don't think I've ever seen commentary like this offered up by a guy who actually stood even the slightest chance of actually having sex with whatever woman he's complaining about.

Jeremy looks like the sort of guy who thinks the waitress is coming on to him because she smiled and called him "hon."

It really reaches a new level of bullshit in this post when you find out that men wore make-up but it just went out of fashion.

I'd like to try out some make up styles that could enhance my masculine facial features, just to see what it looks like. Is that a thing?

Totally. Check out contouring. And, if there's a beauty school near you, they might have cheap make up appointments where you can watch what they use and how they do it while you get glammed up. They're students so they take their time, makes it easy to follow.

I think the main point they usually miss is that women don't wear make-up to attract them, or anyone. Make-up is fun.

Probably transphobia since this is how men talk about trans women "tricking" them and not "disclosing". They're constantly worrying about beautiful women tricking them with their attractiveness 🙄

Next they’ll say that women wearing pads of any kind (bra, shoulder, whatever else), heels, and does anything to style their hair is sexual assault. Maybe wearing jewelry or dressing up in nice clothes counts too? Or deodorant, perfume, body lotions?

Ooooh. This is the “barefoot and pregnant” trope from back in the day, just made to look nicer (kinda like a “makeup” of sorts to appear different).

99% of the time women look prettier without heavy makeup. That's just my opinion that nobody asked for though 🤷‍♀️

Nah - I don't think it's any sort of dog whistle. It's more in the nature of sour grapes. It's an incel thing - they fantasize about proactively refusing to have sex with women who would never be willing to have sex with them in the first place

Why does she look older with the makeup? Shouldn't it work the other way around? She looks 30 something on the left and a teenager on the right.

How is it not specific enough and what is this current environment?

Every time I hear someone refer to a woman as a female that person is invariably some kind of incel loser.

They're not of the correctly gendering crowd, ergo their use of "female" is inherently derogatory. That's the point. It's not the word, per se, but the sub-cultural use of it.

It's interesting when men use posts like this to announce what they personally find attractive in the comments. That's not the point.

Exactly. Denice or Gates? Even Barbara and Gwyneth, with our without the makeup, if I were quite a bit older.

Young women and girls use make-up to make themselves look older all the time.

Yes, but also some of them are just mad that women sometimes wear makeup that heavily impacts appearance and isn't obvious to those who are both blind and oblivious.

A lot of modern makeup styles are more about creating a dramatic visage than a youthful one. Youthful (teen) faces look more rounded than faces well into adulthood.

1920's makeup was the opposite. Every body was trying to be round.

The left picture is a pretty good example. I don't know any of the terminology but it seems to revolve around trying to make it look like they have maralago face. Just ends up looking unnatural to me.

In addition to the other answers this is probably the kind of guy who either commits sexual assault or fantasizes about committing sexual assault. Typical incel.
