there is definitely truth to what he is saying about the basis for why lipstick exists, and why some people might find it sexually attractive, but you also have to take into account that people have been wearing lipstick (and other cosmetics) for thousands of years, and as time goes on, tastes and meanings change. as i said before, lots of men don't even find lipstick attractive on a woman and half the colors you'd see in a store aren't even red.


It's fine if lots of men don't find lipstick attractive, but a lot more men, i.e. the majority, find thick lips attractive, especially in this culture and age. That's why women are willing throw down cash on botox injections. For those who aren't going to do that, there's lipstick to help make your lips thicker. And red does in fact make you look more sexually attractive. This has been researched.

i feel like an equivalent argument to the one JP made about lipstick would be saying that men who wear jeans to their office job subconsciously want to be blue collar workers, because jeans were originally created for coal miners. obviously the premise is true but tastes and concepts change over time, so it's a tough statement to back up.


Now you're completely missing the JP's point in why he's bringing up lipstick. Let me give you an equivalent argument. You leave apple syrup out in the open in your kitchen because you love the smell but it attracts ants. You complain about the hoard of ants being attracted to the open syrup but you refuse to stop leaving the syrup out. That's where the contradiction comes in so you have to give up one or the other or come up with a creative way to have your cake and eat it too.
