This is fascinating! As I understand it, driven by the enlightenment and the industrial revolution, men rejected beauty in favor of rationality and standardization. Men apparently traded in high-heels for a pocket-watch.
I appreciate It takes a man 5 seconds to get ready vs woman that still feel they have to put full armor on before leaving home.
yeah but more often than not that full armor is fun! and if you're not impatient, then taking more time really isn't that big of a deal
One of My roommates felt it was an expression of herself and rocked a bold look. Very valid.
I like The simpler style but I have 0 art sense. Especially when I just wanna get groceries and maybe stop for a donut. I don't see the need to be kitted up. "Like let's goo! Your mother is in the car!" Lol
because why not? at least if it could make it a more enjoyable experience
You have a strong argument. If it's fun why not. I entirely respect the other side of my position. Its Just not fun to me. Plus I barely wanna look at my face for 5 seconds in the mirror to style my hair. Lol
but maybe if you spent more time on it you would want to look at your face for longer and decorate it
You make a interesting point. I can see how that could happen. Though i think people do this so other people can look at them. Like those Asian makeup transformations are epic.
Fundamentally, I don't think I have patience or skill for it. Like I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.
Plus I want to blend into a room and not standout. Then there is the money and finding the right makeup. This is too oilly, this brand doesn't sell my shade, the thing i like is discountinued, this is great but it's 50$ an ounce. Makes me want to hit head against wall.
the beginnings of boring modernism 🥲
