Not even kidding. My mum went to Sephora to buy make up. There was a gay guy helping her out, that was part of my circle (if you didn't know already, I have been hanging in gay clubs a lot). He told my mum he had tried to find my contacts because he wants to train me into doing make up in order to sell... make up... (sephora is a make-up shop).

The idea is that I put make up on clients in order to sell the products to clients. Straightforward.

I have no clue on how to use make up, nor have I ever used make up, nor do I really intend to use make up. The whole idea was silly. But apparently he want straight guys to do the job because women go nuts over the idea of straight men dolling them, and that they are more ready to buy when straight men tell them they look pretty (rather than another chick or a gay guy).

At first I laughed at the idea. But then I realized that it may be a lot of fun, and may make a huge social circle... and meeting women? huh... piece of cake!

What do you guys think?

Such a weird job offer....

Best,
Teevster

I would do it in passing like one or two weeks just for the sake of experimenting.

I think it’s one of those asymmetrical things between men and women.

My girlfriend gets really insistent to put some moisturizing lotion on my face because she says she loves my skin even though I repeatedly tell her to not do it (I don’t like my skin that much, it’s so soft and smooth it almost looks like a princess’).
Anyway, she just loves it… for some reason I will never understand.

I wonder what would happen if I start doing it to her.

that honestly sounds hella fun haha glad you're open minded about it OP! I lovee getting my makeup done by someone else especially the gentle brushes, as it feels so soothing, but honestly my hands would shake too much for me to do a perfect makeup job on someone else.

maybe you can get a mentor to teach you how to apply it correctly, I know highlighters/foundations can be tricky and there's a subtle art to it all, I wear minimal makeup to school and its all very natural so can't help you much there.

I’d do it. Legit been toying with the idea of doing women’s nails as a creative outlet..that shit is legitimately an art when you get deep into it.

Go for it.

Are you sure the gay guy isn't hitting on you? lol

Worst case scenario: a dude hitting on you all the time (but you learn how to do make up!).

Best case scenario: constant flow of women (maybe you won't be allowed to give out your contact info, but you'll probably find a way).

If you have spare time, you could try for a few weeks and see how it goes.

But if you're happy with your current results, with your social circle, and with your job, you could do something that makes you happy as well instead of having a job you don't like. That's why personally I wouldn't.

I don't know you, so take this with a grain of salt and in the tone of amicability/respect with which it's intended.

In matter of a few sentences a person has said that they're attending gay clubs, they are close with gay men and titillated by thought of interacting with make-up.

I have no definite idea in mind. But could it be there's something here you're wanting to explore?

lmao @HoofHearted & @Gaturro.

I mean, could be possible he wants you working there so he can slow game you. Wants to flip you ;)

Anyway, if it was me, and I could spare the time, I'd for sure take the gig.

I've worked jobs just for the experience where I quit after a few months. Still glad I tried them out.

I mean, the way I'd look at it is:

  1. You get trained to have deep insider knowledge of makeup, giving you another thing to talk about with women that basically no other guy can talk to them about, which is easy to transition into sex talk ("Why do women wear makeup?" "You know what I realized what you can tell about a woman based on the kind of makeup she wears" "Did you know that girls signal their sexual attitudes by the kind of makeup they use?" etc.)

  2. Gives you a super intriguing job description. "I'm an artist. A make-up artist, actually. Probably the only straight male make-up artist you will ever meet"

  3. You get a job that (hopefully) puts you around a ton of attractive women all the time... I briefly had a model talent scout job like Zan back in the day (the chick running the talent agency was horrible though and I did not last). Always wanted to find a more serious one though. Jobs like this are ideal keeping you in a social state all the time, because you socialize with hot women during work, then go out the club and are still socializing with hot women... also you are in a situation where you are the one cool straight guy with a bunch of hot women around. Should serve as a nice state booster since you are used to being the über prize

  4. I suspect you're also likely to encounter older high society women, who could be valuable contacts, and when they find out you are a doctoral student and other good things about your background, and you are not just some sexy makeup-applying peon, you're basically in with them. Potential greased slide into high society, intro'ing you to their high society daughters, or husbands who want to hire you for some prestigious/well-connected position, etc.

Worse comes to worse if you do it and it ends up just being a bunch of little old ladies from the middle class and the gay guy is hitting on you relentlessly you can just quit. It's not like you're signing a contract in blood.

Even if you only work the job a couple of months, it'll sure be an interesting story to tell for years to come: "I used to be a make-up artist for Sephora. One of the craziest things I discovered about women and make-up is..." etc.

Some of my best friends are gay.
My gym is 80% gay dudes
My GF only has gay friends (She can't relate to other women).
My neighborhood is currently the city's new gay/lesbo hub.

Some things to take into consideration:
1) gay dudes are men. They will always come close to you with second intentions (just like we do with women)
2) a lot of gays fantasize about converting straight guys (just like we do with lesbos)
3) most gay dudes get turned off by normal straight behavior. If you just aproach and kiss a girl near them, or telk about sex with women, it's an instant horny killer.
4) they fully respect friendship. A LOT. Treat them with care and respect and they'll vouch for you, forever.
5) most of them are very trustworthy people, at least IME.

I see absolutely no reason not to interact with them, or not to accept their invitations.
Plus Teevs in a make-up shop makes perfect sense to me: if the quality of women is good, the amount of ass he could pull with almost zero work just makes me jealous.

Bit of a twitch here. You'll note that my reply doesn't actually demonstrate any attitudes toward/about homosexuality.

Does the word 'gay' code as 'bad' for you? You don't have to answer that.


Plus Teevs in a make-up shop makes perfect sense to me: could be wrong, but the amount of ass he could pull with almost zero work just makes me jealous.

Perhaps we could at least start by recognizing the fact that a person has to do exactly zero, none of these things to 'pull' the 'amount of ass' under question here. But they sure could *choose* to do these things, god bless 'em.

Perhaps what you seem to be identifying as anti-homosexual sentiment is really just an examination of choices, and isn't intended to be scary.

Never said that.

That's not the point. The point is doing something diferent and unusual that completely goes against the norm, having fun and still pull ass. After all, this is a seduction forum.

Again, never said that. And it was not my intention to pinch a nerve (sorry if I did).
Just sharing stuff that happens in my life to provide some perspective.
As a side note, most young gay men these days are extremely shallow and annoying people, with a deep woke mentality and the feeling they can get away with anything (again, my personal experience). On the opposite spectrum, my gay friends are usually past 40-50 and already set in their ways.

No apology necessary. I didn't find your response rude. Just interesting.

Now there's a sentiment. But no need to explore.

To continue the metaphor, and to speak generally in the interest of expounding upon my original response--

If you paint your face white, make your hair red and curly, and put on really big shoes, is it really so unreasonable for a neutral onlooker to say "Hey, you might enjoy something about the circus?" Maybe it's dressing up. Maybe it's juggling balls. Who can say.

(Apologies for the clown metaphor, it's actually from John Paul II Edit: Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI).
