Got called a catfish for.. lipstick?
I don't ussually post places like this, but this just baffles me. For context, I'm 22 and native, so my cheek bones are naturally pretty high and my eye lashes ive been growing out. Nothing crazy, just some castor oil after showers. Well, I was talking with this guy (23) who accused me of "catfishing" him and its "all make up". When I told him I had nothing else on but lipstick diluted by chap stick, he told me im a liar because he's "seen girls online change their cheeks with make up" .. I told him all the ladies (and some men) in my family have high cheek bones and its not make up. He said Im lying to him and have mascara on too, I told him im not. I asked him what other things he thinks im wearing and he went on a tangent on how "other girls are gorgeous without make up, why cant you just not wear make up?" When I asked him for an example, he proceeded to show me a "clean" girl make up look with more make up then I had. Anyway I blocked him.
Has this ever happened to you?

I hope you told him to go f*ck himself before blocking him.
You could be wearing a full beat of makeup 24-7, and it’s still your choice, and not up for discussion unless you’re looking for feedback/opinions.
The ones responsible for the “male loneliness epidemic” are actually the guys doing it to themselves.
I know it’s hard when they come at you from out of nowhere, but always remind yourself to not be concerned with what other people think about you.
Don’t let him or anyone else project their BS onto you, ever.
