AggieDave 6 #51 July 16, 2004 Certain groups of men in society have been wearing some sort of makeup for the past 30 years. Not homosexuals even, just guys (the glam rock crowd for instance), then the new age crowd... I doubt it'll become a norm in any short amount of time...short in the historical sense, like a couple hundred years.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Kennedy 0 #52 July 16, 2004 You have to remember, for several hundred years, it was the "in thing" for everyone to be paler than death with rosy cheeks (because only peasants and workers were in the sun). Then modern world travel began, and suddenly the in thing was a tan (because only the rich could afford to flit off the the French Riviera). The make up chicks wear now is a result of a lot of things coming together (you have noticed it's similar in a lot of far off places), and not likely to change. Men, on the other hand, really have a choice. We can set now what will happen, whether we follow some freaks and fruits in LA, NYC, Paris, Tokyo, etc, or we follow what our fathers have done.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #53 July 16, 2004 QuoteWe can set now what will happen, whether we follow some freaks and fruits in LA, NYC, Paris, Tokyo, etc, or we follow what our fathers have done. I didn't know peaches and pears were trend setters. Seriously though, straight men have been following the trends of fruits for a very long time. Fruits are more willing to step outside the "norm." The problem is that most fruits aren't fruity so straight men aren't aware they're following their trend. By your very definition you better wear what your father wore or you'll be wearing what a fruit wears. Be careful though, how do you know a fruit didn't start the trend your father followed.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If women as a whole start going just by looks, rather than whatever they go by today, then makeup for men will probably catch on.
