    Having a preference and whining are not the same thing.

    Things that are fine to say in relevant social contexts:

    • You look really cute without makeup.
    • I prefer lighter makeup.
    • I love heavy makeup looks.
    • I have sensory issues and can’t stand the smell of makeup at all.

    Things that are creepy to say in any context:

    • Women use makeup as a lie to trick men.
    • I want a traditional woman who doesn’t paint her face like a clown.
    • I don’t know how she expects to attract a man when she’s not even putting in any effort to do basic makeup.
    • I bet she’s really ugly without all that makeup.

      Personally I find all make be it on a woman or man. To be the single ugliest thing a person can do to them self. Its vile and revolting. It looks highly unnatural, and actively causes me stress some times and I have no idea why. It triggers my flight or fight response when someone has too much on and I can’t accurately make out their features.

      Perfume and Cologne is the same way. In my 30 years of life iv never found a single perfume or cologne be it on a man or woman. That did not actively make me gag and make my eyes water. I can frequently taste it on the air long long after many people can’t. Which I assume is part of the problem. I’m just hyper sensitive to almost all fragrances.

      90% of laundry detergent, soaps, and basically anything with a scent does exactly the same thing to me.

      Iv been yelled at for involuntarily gaging when women walk by me because I can so strongly taste their perfume.

      If I could I would out right ban all make up and scents. They are terrible things and from the outside looking in. They seem to do nothing but perpetuate a endless cycle of social abuse. People get judged for using them. For not using them. For using too much, or not enough.

      So far as I can tell there’s not a single good thing socially that has come from the invention of non medical cosmetics.

        This is valid:

        It triggers my flight or fight response when someone has too much on and I can’t accurately make out their features.

        This is needlessly insulting:

        the single ugliest thing a person can do to them self. Its vile and revolting.
