The June issue of American Demographics says, among other things, that 4% of American men admit to putting on makeup while they’re driving.
Say WHAT?
Do you really expect any man to admit that he wears makeup?
The survey respondants had to be putting us on. Or, the survey was really about women, and they had a typo problem.
Don’t you think?

You know I am, sweetie! Just a little foundation is all . . .
i admit that i used to wear eyeliner.
not much, just a bit.
if done well, it does the same good that it does to women.
Does somebody elses “lipstick on my dipstick” count? 
Vote for me for male slut.

I try not to wear makeup, but a few times a girl would ask to see how I would look in makeup, and sometimes I would oblige. I aim to please ;).
My only makeup experiences are while on stage, and that’s THICK makeup.
However, I once let a girl paint my nails in class (we were both REALLY BORED).
Why do men think that admitting to wearing makeup is tantamount to admitting that they were personally castrated by RuPaul? I wear makeup from time to time, and when I do I look fucking awesome, thank you very much. Especially when I’m doing Goth. I wear black under my eyes and dark charcoal nailpolish. I’m gonna go find some dark lipstick when my cheque comes in.
What I’m personally curious about is, how many men are there who routinely wear makeup to the office, say, the same way that women wear makeup? Unobtrusive makeup, not blatant enough to be noticed, and don’t say anything about it?
Scotti: Yeah, the whole survey was for men and women, it was actually about “putting on makeup while you drive”, I was just curious about the “4% of men” part of it.
I’m thinking that this proves the poll was flawed.
Knowing nothing about it whatsoever, let me say that it wouldn’t surprise me if there were one question that asked about the makeup while driving, and a separate one that asked sex.
Because, frankly, I can’t imagine that there are 4% of men who use makeup, let along 4% who put it on while driving!
Ummm, does massage oil in my ears count as makeup?*
This is the most obvious “I’m hijacking this thread because I want more of you in my post party” attempt I’ve ever seen!
And from a man who once accused me of “hijacking a thread all the way to Libya”
:eek:
Was there a particular age group for this survey? When my son was a teenager, he had acne and discovered that I could hide those things with makeup. Sometimes I wasn’t home, and he got pretty good at doing it himself. Even taught his brother. But my point here is, he eventually put some of the makeup in question in a small capsule looking thing and kept it in his car. So I can imagine there were occasions that may have called for zit hiding while driving. Just a thought.
Just after I kick start the Harley, I twist the mirror around, fluff my hair for the helmut, and ad just a little lipstick and eye liner for that ever-so-sheik (sp) biker look and call my friends on the cell phone. Hell, I hate even wearing sunscreen. (but I am smart enough to do so!)
later, Tom
I’ve heard that some football players wear pantyhose, and I knew two burly gents who worked on oil rigs and wore them for warmth.
And how about clear nail polish, does that count? Ever had a manicure?
During the 70’s disco (UGH!) craze it was pretty common for men to use eye liner and mascara.
Peace,
mangeorge.
I used to wear theatrical makeup to paint a black stripe across my eyes. I still like the look, but it’s far more trouble than it’s worth most of the time. It was also too easy to conflate my aesthetic with that of the Goths, and you can see why, although that was not what I took myself to be doing. I was still enchanted with a short-lived movement they used to call New Romance.
I regret nothing.
But I think if I try anything like it again, I’ll do it in shades of blue, which should achieve much the same effect without automatically marking me as a Goth.

Dry, thank you, I really do appreciate compliments from the master. Try Proverbs 6:12-14. “A naughty person, a wicked man, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers, forwardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually;…”

Daniel,
“Thou hast damnable iteration, and art indeed able to corrupt a saint”
–Henry IV, Part 1, Act 1, scene ii
But let me advise you:
“Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puff’d and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.”
–Hamlet, Act 1, scene iii
Dry: well, as you wish, here are some of my faves: Sol.4:5,
Sol.7:1-3 & 8.
It’s GOOD to be the King!!!
Sorry for the hijack, folks, dueling quoters…
