Guys, would you let your girlfriend put makeup on you?

[StarryCrossing]

This includes painting your nails, etc. I didn’t wanna limit it to face makeup.


I asked my boyfriend if I could paint his nails and he was fine with it because he’s not insecure about his sexuality. Same with facial makeup although that made him a bit more uncomfortable.

Would you let your girlfriend/wife/partner do this if you are or were in a relationship? Why or why not? And girls, what do you think about this topic as well?

Yes, of course!

No, never!

People are getting angry about the insecure with their sexuality/masculinity part. I was just quoting my boyfriend’s response. Also, most people would call it gay if their girlfriend approached them with this sort of thing. I just wanted to say I don’t think this. Men who don’t agree with this are just more in tune with their masculinity.

[AdithyaR]

Yes but only if I complete the look with anime cosplay.
If she's gonna paint my nails, imma put on an akatsuki cloack and sharingan lenses and become Itachi uchiha.

[StarryCrossing]

Lol. That’s cool.

[DanaeAdam5]

^^^and this is why you are one of my favorite people on here 🤣👏

[AdithyaR]

@DanaeAdam5 thank you!

[StarryCrossing]

Do you go to anime conventions

[AdithyaR]

@StarryCrossing I'd really love to but I live in India so there's very rarely any of those here.

[mattl338]

In private, yeah why not? It could be a fun time with me and her.

[Anonymous]

My username will check out here lol, but that's a path I'm taking indeed.

Ironically when I was first proposed to by the first girl I met on OkCupid, I was kinda clueless and hadn't thought a second about that, while I made my "soft cutie" identity and interests very clear. Not interested in femininity here tho, but cuteness, softness, feeding the female-gaze, and maybe later taking in a whole cosplayish/petplayish catboy identity with lots of various makeup.

by the way "Men who don’t agree with this are just more in tune with their masculinity. " is true in some cases, what's universally true is that we are secure and have come up beyond the fragility of traditionnal masculinity that's full of contradictions, fake toughness, homophobia/non-assumed-homoerotism, and toxicity, now we can be secure in our masculinity or in the fact to not be masculine, some men do make up to be feminine and are also valid men, and I'll do it to be cute, unrelated to gender, but certainly as away as possible from masculine! :)

[humanearth]

Thats nothing I let my wife, daughters and now granddaughter paint me up.

I kinda like it, it's like a special bonding moment for me and a way to have connection with them.

One I have always liked my nails painted. My oldest daughter when she was 5 always wanted to paint my nails. After a while being done so much. I grown to like pretty nail colors. That was back in 1995 or so

The girls made me into a princesses a Queen, wife took it even farther and went drag Queen. That day was super funny and had lots of laughs. Everyone got into the act.

That was about a month ago. I think I'm due for another make over. My 8 year old granddaughter I think has the most fun with it.

[websterII]

there is you.. there is your other.. and there is your relationship. Personally I think you should bend over backwards to prioritize your relationship. There are times when you might put yourself first.. but.. if there is no show stopping reason you should really really take this opportunity to invest in you're relationship. It's a good thing right? It will make your other happy and smile right? Besides facing your fears makes you stronger.. and their happiness laughter and joy makes your relationship stronger. I don't think anyone should ever make rules or hard lines in a relationship.. I think both should give what they can if they can do it safely.

[HeyMikeyLikesIt]

Yeah I could careless, I’m also confident and sure of myself, and secure in my sexuality and don’t care what other people think though. I’m the guy who would go out to walmart with her just to see peoples faces lol even if she made me look like a slutty clown lol I don’t care, at the end of the day I’m with my wife, I don’t care about impressing anyone but her. Now the nail painting, only on my feet, I wouldn't wanna be at work with some residue left somewhere lol but I’m also in the military and its not allowed. My coworkers know how I am though and my give a fuck factor is almost always at an all time low lol

[Barbaric]

No I wouldn't. Why would I want to put on make-up?

Most young women today are retarded, as are many young men, with this strange obsession with encouraging men to act like women.

What makes it retarded is not only that you want to do that, but also the way you try to frame it as though guys who do are "secure in their masculinity", and guys who don't are not. So what you're saying is that men who act like women are more secure in their masculinity, and are therefore more masculine than men who do not.

Men who wear make-up = masculine. Men who don't = not masculine. So feminine men = masculine, masculine men = not masculine.

Like I said, retarded.

[PonyCarGirl98]

I've never understood why women even want to do this to their man. Then they post it on social media and clown their partner for all to see. I wouldn't do it , and I wouldn't expect my partner to be okay with it. That's what female best friends are for. Maybe if a girl wants to do this, they should stop making their partner play every single role in their life, and should find a female best friend...

[StarryCrossing]

That’s rude. I wouldn’t do it I was just curious how he would act if I ever did it to him, lol

[PonyCarGirl98]

@StarryCrossing
Hehe, you asked for opinions and I gave it ☺💕
Take it or leave it ☺
It isn't rude, by the way, it is the truth. I know plenty of women my age who make their partner play every role in their life. Then the two break up, and they wonder why their 'friends' got tired of being pushed out of their life as auxiliaries. 💕

[StarryCrossing]

I wasn’t saying it to you. I was agreeing with you.

[PonyCarGirl98]

Ah, ok. I'm sorry!❤

[MannMitAntworten]

No. Which has zero to do with being secure/insecure. More importantly, the only girlfriend who ever wanted to do this was an abusive nightmare of a woman. This will forever be a redflag if a girlfriend even dreams to attempt this with me. I don’t dress her up, she should not he doing it to me either. Disrespectful and demeaning for her own persona amusement...

[Drunkfrank]

Or she just thinks it's fun.

[MannMitAntworten]

No...

[Kaneki05]

I have had acrylic nails before so lmao yeah i am okay with that black finger nails be cool. But all other make up nah thanks. I don't even like it on girls why would i like it on me lol.

[StarryCrossing]

That’s cool! What did you think of the acrylics.

[Kaneki05]

Tbh just annoying. The pain of picking up coins and just doing stuff with them is beyond me how girls do it. didn't last me too long before i bent one smh. They may look nice to some degree but that effort just isn't.

[TonyV]

Sure why not sounds fun! You dont mean like everytime you 2 leave the house do you? Once in a while, sure why not, go ahead paint my nails, it's like I've already got my hot girlfriend so why not? I'm not looking for a girlfriend cause I have one and what doni care what guys say about it?

"whats with the nails weirdo?, oh that hottie there, you know my girlfriend, she wanted to paint them"

I see no downside

[StarryCrossing]

I don’t wear makeup often. Usually just eyeliner and lip gloss most of the time.

[TonyV]

That's honestly all I care about, i like the dark eye look and shiny lips are cool. So is that what you're gonna put on him?

[StarryCrossing]

No, I wouldn’t do it I was just curious as to what he thought about it.

[TonyV]

Oh ok, well yeah no problem with me, as long as my girlfriend won't judge me for her idea, I mean really only her opinion would matter in this instance. I was only 12 I think playing with the neighbor girl but I've warn a dress before LOL, it was just over my other clothes fyi, she want to play dress up so why not? Lmao

[JackSmy]

Depends on a lot of things, and what happens later that night. . . I've done a lot more for her joy first!!

[Unit1]

I will let her have that fun under 3 conditions:

1) We're staying inside.
2) She gets to open the front door if any bells ring. And I'm not home! I've gone missing!
3) I can remove or hide these once we're leaving to the public.

[NightOwl8801]

My stepdaughter painted my nails when she was in the hospital recovering from emergency surgery last year. only because I let her.

[StarryCrossing]

That’s cute, lol

[NightOwl8801]

It was , she painted them twice while she was recovering

[coffeewithcream]

More feminazi labelling bullshit.
If a male says no fucking way, he's insecure about his sexuality?
Are you fucking kidding me?
So women define masculinity and that includes painted fucking nails. I see.

[StarryCrossing]

Nah lol
I’m not a feminist my guy. Calm down 🤣 I’m just quoting what my boyfriend said.

[Fanglite2]

If my girlfriend wanted to I absolutely would let her put makeup on me. I'd also let her do my nails if she wanted to.

[DizzyDesii]

I wouldn't even want a guy whos ok with playing dressup. If our daughter wants to play then she can be the princess and daddy can be the king coming to her tea prty. But i dont need him dressing in drag cause ita not impressive

[DizzyDesii]

Not doing this doesn't make them insecure. It makes them masculine

[NorthwestRider]

Lol I bet you want this world to become the 12th century or be like Saudi Arabia where everyone must follow the traditional gender roles

[DizzyDesii]

@NorthwestRider i dont know anything about that country and im not Indian if thats what you think. Just because i dont want a crossdresser doesn't mean i think traditional gender roles should rule

[drearyknight187]

I've done that on multiple occasions and it's actually kinda fun, and definitely a good bonding experience.

[letssee89]

Unless I'm a news anchor or an actor, I'd never put on makeup. And, unless I'm dating the makeup person, there's be no reason for the person I'm dating to be doing it.

[jsincal]

Lol... Yes, but like a child, if you’re gonna play with your toys and make a mess. You better clean it up after you’re done. As long as you clean it off when you had your fun.

[NamerOfStars]

Probably. It might make me a little uncomfortable, but I'd get past it. Don't think I'd ever be happy repeatedly brushing something so close to my eyes, though.

[blutwolfe]

ya one of my exes like to paint my nails, do my hair, and other stuff but she was into all that. Only circumstance was she takes it off after she does it lol

[NewZion]

No. Fuck that.

Doesn't matter if she bitches, says I'm a kill joy. Blah, blah blah.

My answer is still no.

[Anonymous]

"he's fine with it because he's not insecure". That and he wants to explore his "feminine" side. You could be creating your own "Caitlyn" there. Maybe one day "she" will thank you for setting "her" on this road

[worldscolide]

No, if only because I can't stand to have stuff on my face.

[MuffinBoi]

Probably. Just to have a laugh maybe that one time and that's really about it. I wouldn't go out or anything with makeup on. It just isn't my thing.

[RickPen]

I allowed it once, and the mascara was a nightmare to remove. I asked why she wore it, and she didn't have a solid answer, so she wore less makeup.

[NorthwestRider]

Of course yes

I bet you triggered all of the incels and the religious nuts who think society should follow the stupid backwards traditional gender roles lol

[humanearth]

I bet she did

[Drunkfrank]

Ye I would allow that, maybe not face makeup because I don't think it's good for skin.
but sure paint my nails idc.

[TheGrandOracle]

I love wearing makeup. Although I'd prefer to stick just to eyeshadow and nail polish tho.

[TheGrandOracle]

Oh forgot to mention tho. Fuck you for making it about being insecure about masculinity. You can be spat on for all i care 🙃

[StarryCrossing]

Hun, I didn’t say that. I was quoting my boyfriend and what he said. Calm down, that’s just mean. :/

[StephenCF]

In private, yeah. I’m not a bore-fest who won’t let her have her fun, so why not? 😅

[celin98]

😂😂😂

[StarryCrossing]

Lol, some people get real mad about it I don’t see it as a big deal.

[StephenCF]

@StarryCrossing Masculine insecurity, that’s it 😅 There are whiny men who won’t kiss women in make-up in case they get some on their face, god forbid they just wipe it off 🤣

[jessicasissy]

Since I've done so for men I'd even let a woman dress me as a girl.

[humanearth]

Same, thats how I got started crossdressing, my 1st girlfriend got me started in the 80s

[jessicasissy]

@humanearth Nice, it's so much fun getting to look pretty. I even eventually ended up going both ways. I'll never stop liking women because they're so soft and pretty but getting held from behind by a man bigger and stronger than me while in a dress and heels makes me feel safe and protected. Not a feeling I ever felt when I thought I was straight and it's quite addictive.

[beetie]

Sure, maybe ill even look better afterwards. Hell, most likely id look better afterwards.

[thruholewizard]

ok sure it can be fun and kinky too , something just the two of us can share right? I think it might even turn me on my girlfriend wanting to make me up.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Once or twice would be funny to do it as a joke, but doing it unironically would be a "no" from me

[seanras]

I would be okay with it, but remember that if a guy isn't okay with it, it doesn't mean he's insecure. He just doesn't want to look orwor feel maybe.

[OddBeMe]

I wouldn't go out with it on. Maybe if I had more confidence. But my gfs practiced stuff on me. Makes them more horned up later.

[skittles2017]

I wouldn't be alright with it
Wouldn't like it
Wouldn't want it
And it's not masculinity or not. Just don't wanna

[Wise4myage]

Maybe for Halloween, but that's about it. She better promise me something too for agreeing to it.

[StarryCrossing]

Trade deal sounds fair hah

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Only may be by a child or daughter, other wise over my dead body no way no chance lol😂

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Nothing to do with masculinity still no

[makriks]

According to my religion I shouldn't try it, in addition I am not interested

[codyccc]

Lol no when playing with more money than you will ever make you need to look like a adult

[COMMODOREII]

I've let my girlfriend, my girl friends and would let my neice and my daughters. 😎

[COMMODOREII]

Amen sister!! To your update. 😎

[tjbyrd39]

Yeah. I've let them. So they could show me how to cover a blemish if needed by myself. Yes laugh and midol is awesome for hangovers.

[tjbyrd39]

Or going into a store picking up a box of tampons and paying for them. Not getting bag and walking to vehicle. I don't know why that's hard.

[tjbyrd39]

Dang I wasted a question

[F1nski]

Nope and I think I have too sensitive skin for that.

[Crimsonstorm]

Yeah I would surely, I think it would be fun actually

[Llyrad]

I really don't date for all of the expections But that actually sounds like fun. as long as I can bodypaint them at some point

[Unstoppable20]

Only if it was done at home, I didn't have to go out and she didn't take any pictures hah.

[Nadim171]

As long as I won't go in public like this and she really want to try... yes I would let her

[TomHossang]

I would let her but I wouldn’t go out in public with it on

[Slim57]

Only if she promised to never take a picture or tell anyone

[SjE78]

hahaha um... no! not my way never will be

[xichuwangwai]

I'm just glad you're not my girlfriend.

[StarryCrossing]

Feelings mutual. ;)

[Prof_Don]

Not my thing, I’m prettt enough as it is. 😛

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Never going to happen.

[Browneye57]

Fuck no. For god's sakes.

[jamesgoldman]

Sure... not nail varnish

[skeetskeetskeet]

If i wasn't going out in public...

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Only if it makes me look... Souless

[najekim]

Nope. Couldn't get through my full beard anyways.

[Anonymous]

There's some things a man won't do

[bradbradley]

no sorry i couldnt do all that
