Guys; it's Not a Compliment!

"Women are more beautiful without make-up." He says. I turn around. What?

Guys; it's Not a Compliment!

First of all, women don't wear make-up to please or impress you. I know men like to think this, but it's just an irrational & egocentric thought that makes zero sense. I do not wake up in the morning thinking "oh, let me highlight my cheekbones so jimmy will like me". I wake up thinking "jesus, I look like I just came back from the dead. Let's put on some make up to cover up some blemishes as well as enjoy a little me-time before starting my day". So if anything, you could call me vain.

Secondly, who the fuck cares if you like them better without? It's her face, not yours.

Thirdly, you probably don't even know how someone looks without wearing make up. If you have never seen someone without, you just don't know. Simple as that. Even if they SEEM like they aren't wearing make up, they could be wearing it. This is called "a natural look" and is generally used for a normal day in which she does nothing special in particular.

Fourthly, it's not a compliment. I don't see how you could bring it as one either. You're not telling someone they're beautiful, you're telling them you disagree with something they like doing. Imagine someone saying "oh, i'd like you better if you stop playing video games/soccer/cooking/whatever you fucking like😊". That would probably make you roll your eyes and give them the finger.

Fifthly, if you cannot supress the urge to tell someone you like their bare face, and have actually SEEN their bare face, say something like "babe, I like you with or without make-up. You're precious to me no matter what you look like". That's being the opposite of shallow instead of looking like some weird ass dude giving their opinion while no one asked.

Rant over.

***I only focused on guys who say this in this take&women wearing make up. I know women tell other women this too and that there are men who wear make up. I decided to focus on the majority (being women) who wear make up and the majority telling them they shouldn't (being men).
