GUYS SAVE FACE
NY Post ^ | 13 january, 2005 | BILL HOFFMANN

Guys love sex, but there are some things they just won't do to get it.

A new survey of American men by GQ magazine reveals that 92 percent would never wear makeup — even if it guaranteed a more fulfilling sex life.

And only 14 percent of those quizzed said they would make themselves up if they knew it would get them a 25 percent raise at work.

"Makeup is sort of the final frontier for guys. It's one thing to take money from your mother's purse, it's another one thing to take her lipstick," said Michael Hainey, GQ's deputy editor.

But the poll of 1,000 men 25 to 55, which tackles the question of just how vain guys are, also reveals they're loosening up. Some 65 percent, for example, say plastic surgery is OK for anyone who wants it, man or woman.

Looks like the Metrosexuals haven't completely won, but my guess is that if the better sex life was sitting on the couch next to most men, they would smear on anything the woman suggested.

I wore makeup for 5 years. It doesn't help at all.

This is probably one of the stupidest, inane bunch of non-news I've ever read. Why did they even run this? Nevermind.

There is only one way that wearing make up will get a man more sex and it involves what was formerly considered a beverage.

Being a twice a day shaver, I refuse to put anything on my face that would plug up the gaps between the little blades. And if I want something for my lips, I kiss my wife. There are dividends here.

That's because they knew the "more fulfilling" sex would be with other guys. Yecch.

M-kay.

I knew a guy in Texas who used to wear eyeliner years and years ago. He did seem to get most of the dates, though.
