It’s always so weird to me when people try to tell other people how to look and what to wear.

And here we go again, folks!

A woman asked readers on Reddit’s “Am I the A**hole?” page if she’s wrong for refusing to wear makeup. Read on to see what happened.

AITA for not wearing make-up?

“I (24f) work with this guy I’ll call John.

I got hired during the pandemic and worked from home with twice a week zoom meetings, in which I never wore make-up. When we were allowed to go into work, I continued to not wear make-up. I have never worn make-up before and do not know how to apply it. I also want to avoid it because it causes acne problems.

I still do my hair, and wear decent clothes. My coworker, John (late 20s) asked me out on a date and I said sure. It was Monday, at Cheddar’s, because we were both off. I did not wear make-up to this date. My best friend, Jane, let me borrow her shoes for the date, and told me that I was giving him the wrong impression by not wearing make-up. I said why?

She said it makes it look like I don’t care about the date. I don’t understand this, because I’m going to wear a nice dress and her nice shoes out, and I feel like wearing make-up to the date gives the wrong impression because I simply do not wear it.

Jane offered to do my make-up for me, I refused because I have none. John has seen me without make-up plenty of times before. We work together and he has seen me in zoom calls and in the workplace and knows I just don’t wear it. Jane offered to bring hers over. I was getting really uncomfortable because I don’t want to wear any so I told her a firm no and went on my date.

It went fine, he’s a really nice guy, but at the end he asked, “So is this a work lunch?” Turns out he did have a problem with my not wearing make-up, which I feel is ridiculous. John was dressed basically the same as he always was to work at our date except for like an expensive watch.

I told this to my parents. My dad agrees with me, and says John knew what I was like regarding make-up before the date and if he has a problem, that’s on him. My mom on the other hand says that not wearing make-up was “a b**ch move” because it shows I’m not interested.

I haven’t told Jane, in case she rubs it in my face, but John has brought it up to one of our random coworkers and said that i didn’t try. coworker says i should’ve worn make-up, but also says john also shouldn’t have expected it of me, and it would’ve been a “nice surprise”. i’m getting many conflicting verdicts in this situation.

AITA?”
