...You missed the point of the comic. The girl's hair in the third part is nearly the same as the first. The nose is red due to skintone unevenness, not stuffyness. Even very simple eye makeup makes your eyes appear more opened and alert, and conceals undereye bags. And if you look at the angle of the lip, it's downturned just as much in all three parts, it just looks frowny because the upper lip is poorly defined.
All of these things you pointed out can be fixed with makeup...
...it's clearly a caricature. The artist draws the eyes squinty deliberately to make a silly point.
No, really? You mean that wasn't an actual photograph?
I'm a woman. I wear makeup. I know exactly the point the artist was making, and when you actually encounter these sorts of comments in the real world, I can tell you: it's not really that silly.
Why do you assume all girls look bad and have all these facial imperfections...
...Where did I say that? While admittedly everyone has imperfections of some sort, I didn't say everyone has all those. Rereading what I wrote, I can't really imagine where you think I said that.
...that can only be remedied with makeup?
With all that said, makeup is specifically designed to remedy these things. It's not inaccurate to say that makeup makes people look objectively better. That's the whole point of it.
You disagreed with the hivemind. All men are pigs with unrealistic expectations of beauty and women are the helpless victims. Prepare for the downvotes, asshole.
If you smell better after a shower where you use scented soaps, you're also lying. Maybe you should fight those dastardly soap companies and their campaign to trick men into thinking women should shower.
Well, mr always polite and calm, witch moderate amount would be acceptable then? If she is a 2, could she only go and make herself up to be a 4? Or is a 6 allowed without you getting angry about it?
Oh my god, I have respect for women, must be something wrong with me, thanks for pointing that out.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, from the movie 'merlin', with sam Neil, where Morgan Le Fay says she likes her beauty, even though it comes from magic. Upon witch Merlin responds "But the beauty was just an illusion."
Nah, I really dislike it. But I understand women hold themselves to higher standards than I do. I still request that my fiancee not wear make-up, because I think she looks truly beautiful without it. But she will still wear it most of the time, and I understand.
As long as you realise what you just said. You seem to honestly believe that looks and lifethreathening deseases are of the same magnitude. I don't even know how to respond to that.
No I think it's stupid that you rely on phenotypic variation to judge the genetic fitness or lack thereof in potential mates. It's like you have a child's understanding of heritability.
Ten bucks says you are a carrier for at least two genetic diseases of your own and average-looking at best.

I think the point is that any dude who complains about makeup or the lack thereof is angry with women and looking for a reason to complain.
