I’ve never understood why people get earrings, despite them often being unattractive.

    Eh, I’m not a fan of lipstick on women. There is nothing inherently wrong with either. It’s all a matter of personal taste.

      Red lipstick in particular. It makes everyone look like a clown. 🤡

      I find makeup in general, and in fact hair colouring, mousse, etc. not attractive. I’m not saying it’s unattractive, but it makes me think, “why would you do that?”

      I suspect it’s related to probably being on the spectrum. I find it difficult enough to understand people’s unspoken thoughts and emotions, without all the distraction and camouflage.

      A very good “normal” example of body modification, just not as permanent. And there are degrees to that as well…I’ve seen lipstick colors that just enhance the lip color and give a sheen that I don’t think twice about, but even my favorite celebrities look off putting to me when made up “heavily”. I’m a bit on OP’s side as far as preferring the natural look, although minor studs or a small tattoo somewhere don’t catch my attention in a negative way, if I even notice.

      Seconded. Actually the whole “every woman has to wear makeup, earrings, purses etc” thing. Yes, many do and many people find it attractive. But not everybody - let people be themselves…
