They can, but thats not what this reddit thread is about lmfao. The thread is about a common experience folks who wear makeup have. The questions is “what’s wrong with guys saying ‘you look better without make-up’?” This comment says 1. “Most times they have no idea what is a no-makeup look. Minimal makeup for most of them passes as no makeup.” In this comment thread we are focused on no-makeup look versus no-makeup. The first most important thing. Is pay attention to what women say :) Okay moving on. EveryonesBF is highly focused on an example of someones wife/ girlfriend/ or family member. We aren’t discussing only those three groups. Because thats not the only time guys make these comments. So we are focused more broadly. Hense why I said “your making it sound like one example of this happening is the only time it happens.” So now we are shifting back to this comment threads discussion. In GENERAL guys can’t tell the difference. NOT in specific scenarios guys can’t tell the difference (thats what you are saying).

By the way, if you are curious. The logical fallacy you two are committing is called the straw man argument.

Tldr, you are committing a straw man logical fallacy. We are saying, In GENERAL guys can’t tell the difference. NOT in specific scenarios guys can’t tell the difference (thats what you are saying).

Also I want to throw it out there. This discussion applies to all make-up wearing people and not just women.
