I had a greasy face as a teen. So I had my share of pimples. In my early 20s i still got an occasional one. But that didn't last very long. Since then I've not had any real skin problems, except a little eczema on my leg recently.
I've never been super worried about trying to look attractive. Didn't really feel I ever was very good looking anyways.
Now I have a long scar across my throat, my mouths a bit off kilter, especially noticeable when I talk, missing a lot of teeth, a crappy, scraggly goatee, eye shape (not eyeballs) don't match, as well as the eyelids look quite different so one eye looks more open than the other, I tend towards saggy and/or dark below my eyes, my nose is crooked, nostrils different shapes and sizes, neck looks a little thin and is quite sunken in, another little scar at the bottom of my throat, my cheeks are different shapes and stick out at different levels, red swelling on part of my face... stomach area has multiple smaller scars and one long scar... I think that's all or most of it.
I also wear a mask when out in public, not for getting or giving illness, but due to another issue that could be embarrassing. And I use a crutch to walk. Not to mention I tend to hunch over and it's getting worse.
I've had the crutch 8 years. The dark/saggy eyes most of my life, and used to have a crooked nose, but it was fixed a number of years back, so it's off again. Hunching started years ago. Everything else has only been the past two years.
So do I worry about wearing makeup? Nope haha. Do I worry about my appearance as a single? A little, but not too much. Nothing I can do to change it. If it's a problem to someone then they can move on.
As far as women's appearance, I'm not a fan of dating women that use makeup. A little might be ok, but I'd prefer none. So I don't have someone that looks great when I meet them and looks bad when the makeup comes off. Also hate the time it takes to do all the makeup, or them being afraid to leave the house without it.
If others want makeup or need it, that's fine. I'm not going to say anything to them.
And, of course, if using makeup for special occasions doesn't bother me.
I want to be accepted as I look and I want to accept someone for a relationship for how they look. So much simpler that way.
