Preface
With the successful return of the first wave of people during the Spring Festival, many people began the first wave of "special forces" blind dates.
Surprisingly, many boys on blind dates this year did not hesitate to spend high prices on makeup, and even many beauty stores were overcrowded.
So, what is the reason why boys also start wearing makeup?
Appearance anxiety
As we all know, blind date has always been a relatively difficult way to find a partner, and you will meet all kinds of people when you go on a blind date.
Although the efficiency of blind date is relatively high, the success rate is not very good, and you may encounter a lot of strange things.
For example, a netizen's girlfriend went on a blind date, and the matchmaker introduced a vegetative person, and also told her girlfriend that she would wake up in a few days. (Netizen's girlfriend: I believe you are a ghost [innocent laughs]).
Unexpectedly, netizens' replies were even more explosive: The girlfriend went to the psychiatric hospital on a blind date, and the matchmaker said that she would be discharged from the hospital in two days.
Next, this netizen's blind date experience is even more outrageous, and even a little insulting:
"The man didn't agree to the blind date in the first year because I was short, and he wanted to see me in the second year, just to see if I had grown taller. ”
In this case, many boys have to make some changes in order for the blind date to be successful.
Recently, a video of "boys start makeup to improve the success rate of blind dates" has become popular, which has caused a lot of discussion among netizens.
Seeing this title, you must be thinking, why did the boys start wearing makeup too?
Once upon a time, words like "appearance anxiety" and "makeup" were only used on girls, but I didn't expect that one day they would also be used to describe boys!
The Spring Festival is coming, and many single young people will inevitably be arranged by the elders of the family on a blind date when they go home.
And many boys, in order to increase the success rate of blind dates, will choose to wear handsome makeup.
For example, a male netizen said that he would wear a no-makeup cream when he went out, and it was good to dress up like this, after all, he would be in a better mood when he cleaned up.
After all, normal people will have some flaws on their faces, and boys want to show their perfect side in front of girls, so it's understandable to put on makeup.
I have to say that modern men have also begun to have some "appearance anxiety".
With the development of society, people's tolerance for boys' dress is also increasing.
"Who doesn't want to be amazed at the first impression of meeting, and nowadays boys are less and less reluctant to wear makeup. ”
Approaching the Chinese New Year, Xiao Dan returned to his hometown of Jiangxi County.
I thought that the Chinese New Year would be more leisurely, but what I didn't expect was that her 7-day itinerary for the New Year was already full, and she had to turn into two people every day.
In addition, a clerk in a beauty store in Guangzhou said: Many customers don't go to makeup on their first blind date.
But after many blind dates have not gone well, they will work hard in all aspects, and the improvement of appearance is the first step for many people to transform.
In fact, this is not an isolated case, in the days before the Chinese New Year, many beauty stores said that their makeup quotas were full.
In normal times, the price of makeup in a beauty store is about 60 yuan, but during the Spring Festival, the price has risen to about 200 yuan, but the store is still full.
There is a beauty store owner who sent out a list of the prices of his makeup.
It can be seen that this price is not low, boys will have to pay 180 yuan to 200 yuan for a makeup, while girls are more expensive, at least 200 yuan to start.
It can be seen that more and more boys are also beginning to have "appearance anxiety", so they will find ways to clean themselves up to make themselves more confident when they go on blind dates.
However, some netizens think that this is not appearance anxiety at all, but they have seen the benefits of being good-looking.
Xiaobian believes that everyone has a love for beauty, and dressing up should be for yourself or out of respect for others.
Some netizens also think that boys should have "wealth anxiety", not appearance anxiety, after all, starting a business first and then starting a family, and the wealth value is enough in the blind date market is a plus point.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for boys to wear makeup.
Some time ago, Zhang Dada "exploded" and became a beautiful man, which made people have to sigh the charm of makeup.
After netizens saw Zhang Dabang change into a beautiful man, they felt that both men and women should be very handsome and beautiful, and there would be beautiful girls and boys on the street at that time.
There are many boys on the Internet who are teaching other boys how to put on makeup, mainly for more formal occasions, such as interviews, blind dates, and ID photos.
Their makeup routine is also relatively simple, as long as they cover up the imperfections on their faces, and by the way, they can improve their complexion.
Take a look at the difference between the young man below before and after makeup.
Before applying makeup, the young man had a lot of acne marks and dark circles on his face, and although he looked very handsome with his facial features, his face looked dirty.
After putting on makeup, the flaws on the young man's face were almost covered, and his temperament improved a lot.
Looking at the little brother below, there is basically no difference between wearing makeup and not wearing makeup, but his face looks more exquisite.
In fact, most male stars can wear makeup, and the contrast between before and after is not small.
For example, the comparison of the well-known mainland actor Lu Han before and after makeup, he was no different from ordinary boys on the road before makeup, and after he put on makeup, he was a proper little fresh meat!
To be honest, we ordinary people don't need to wear such heavy makeup, we just need to improve our complexion and make ourselves look more energetic.
What do girls think of boys' makeup?
Many boys will wear makeup because of the success rate of blind dates, so what do girls think of boys' makeup?
It can be seen in the comment area in the video that in fact, most girls are very receptive to boys' makeup, and even think that boys' makeup is a sign of respect for each other.
Some netizens said that they have never felt that boys who wear makeup will appreciate boys who dress up themselves, after all, who doesn't love a boy who will clean himself up.
In addition, a netizen believes that the three most important and most valuable points for modern men are: weight loss, diligence and cleanliness.
However, some girls think that saying that boys have "appearance anxiety" is a bit exaggerated and not very realistic.
Some netizens think that boys almost never have appearance anxiety, probably because the boys we see on the Internet are very "blindly confident", so those normal boys are not so prominent.
However, there are also girls who find it more difficult to accept when they hear that boys are wearing makeup.
At first, netizens thought that it would be very awkward for boys to wear makeup, until he really saw the handsome guy with makeup, and he directly "fell", so much care.
In fact, I feel awkward at first, because boys rarely know how to wear makeup, so I feel that boys with makeup are out of place.
Unexpectedly, some netizens directly threw out a wise quote after seeing this video.
"Blind date is to make the person who can't pick up the girl the most, and the girl who is the most difficult to soak. ”
There seems to be a little truth in this sentence, at least look at the blind date videos circulating on the Internet now.
A male netizen said that he didn't need to wear makeup because of confidence.
I want to say that self-confidence is a good thing, but remember to clean up when you go on a blind date.
In fact, most girls can't stand sloppy people, they don't need to be handsome, or they have to wear makeup, but they must look fresh and clean.
epilogue
For boys and girls, dressing up is just a personal act, and it doesn't matter if you look good or not, as long as you can keep yourself clean and comfortable.
