    Maybe it’s a guy thing to want to look hot primarily to attract a mate, so that’s why hetero men think women do everything just to look good for them.

      I mean, considering how widespread the hobby seems to be and how long limited forms of it have been around, I wouldn’t be surprised if evolution had a hand in it even if people don’t consciously perceive themselves as doing makeup for that reason. It’s kind of like how people tend to get bored of the same food if they eat it too much because the same taste over and over stops being interesting, but really, that mechanism promotes a more diverse diet that covers more nutritional requirements.

      Honestly i think it isn’t a Gender thing and much more an individual thing thats different for everyone IMO much too much gets associated with Gender when it shouldn’t have anything to do with it
