Straight Male & Good At MakeUp

[viking2341]

I have developed a decent amount of skill in applying makeup, thanks mostly to doing photo shoots either without a makeup artist or with one that could not do what I wanted.

Obviously this is an attribute usually found in either a girl or a gay guy, so I was curious to hear some opinions on what a girl honestly thinks of this. Is it like too much of a feminine quality, or is it interesting in a kind of relatable way?

The girls I have asked have not said anything negative about it, but obviously people are more polite in person and if you know them.

Also this is not something I am obsessing over. I just though it would be a little interesting to discuss. Correct me if I am wrong.

How are you at picking out candles, accent pillows, and interior design?

[Oralist]

Are you also good at perms, highlights and flower arrangements? Are your favorite movies "Beaches" and "Fried Green Tomatoes"?

[Valerie]

Being in that industry by trade, I've seen plenty of straight men that do hair & makeup... Not uncommon at all to me..

Has it ever helped you meet or get a girl? Guess that would be a clue as where they stand on it.

Not into candles, although I am in fact a pretty good interior designer now that you mentioned it

And I like for worse girl's movies than the ones you mentioned (A Little Princess, Pretty Woman etc.). I also like guns, cars, Mel Gibson movies (and phone calls), so it is not all feminine stuff.

The makeup thing alone hasn't lead to "meeting a girl", but some have seemed genuinely excited to know that I actually know at least as much as them about makeup. Also it makes buying gifts easier. But I was more curious about sort of the general thoughts on it from a girl's perspective. I have met some girls with too many manly qualities and it is usually a turn off.

Not a turn on. But the only way its a turn off is if you pick a lady up for a date and you ask " ohh... Is that really the eyeshadow you're wearing?"

I think it's awesome. It's funny how gender stereotypes are laid out. All the joking above about flowers and movies and crap are all things I don't give a fuck about, but are things that guys just assume all women stereo-typically like.

Maybe I have too many 'manly' qualities.

Especially the beard.

I couldn't pin-point it at first, but now that you mention it...Is that why your DATY is so good???

According to N TX, whiskers do not help eating cookie.

Depends: little longer and soft = tickles

Short and stiff = painful

I am interested in your skills. Can you demonstrate on me? Also cost.

+1. I love a nice beard or goatee.

I had assumed that YM was discussing my general swagger rather than my beard...but thanks.
