How would you feel about men putting on make-up?

I'm thinking of putting on makeup to make my face look a bit livelier & glossier, so to speak. I want to do it in a subtle way. To be clear, I'm a fully straight guy, but I see very few other straight men putting on make-up. Would you find it attractive?

Why do so many women not want to have kids but do want pets?

Why would you like animals more than humans? Taking care of kids is bad but pets is okay? Imo that's really depressing and weird. I would like much more to spend time with humans than cats or dogs. Imo the cause is some kind of misanthropy, they think humans are evil and pets are angels, but also some part of them does desire to be a mother

edit: i didn't expect so many childfree women on a pro natalism sub..

For the love of God, please abolish travel mode, or at least allow us to filter it

I don't want to swipe women living on the other side of the planet whom I will never see in real life. I don't want long distance relationships. I don't want endless texting. I want to match with women I can actually meet in real life.

Also, for some reason, a lot of these women I see using travel mode are Muslim women from Indonesia wearing hijab, and no offense, but I'm an atheist. What motivates these people anyway? No good men locally? Want to move abroad? Why would anyone spend money on travel mode?

Hinge and other dating apps only show you people from nearby, as it should be. Why is this so difficult for the Bumble team to understand?

We need Monero banks

Most people are not tech savvy or privacy oriented enough to want to own Monero individually. If you want to popularize Monero use, you need a trusted intermediary that does all the technical stuff so people only need to look at an app on their phone to handle all things money related. Very few people understand how the fiat system works yet it is the standard, not only because of government control but also because it is the most convenient. Privacy is not enough, you need to make crypto convenient for people to switch over. Also, a large well known bank with deposit guarantees will make people trust the currency more, people don't like to do everything alone but prefer to delegate some power to others that they can trust and do things for them.

I also think that fractional reserve banking should be allowed as it increases liquidity and allows people to earn yields which makes the currency more attractive. It should be an option though, not mandatory like now. There should be financial markets in Monero, people should be able to borrow and invest in Monero currency, this is how you loosen the control of fiat currency over the world and create an economy based on Monero. How this will be done though I'm not sure, as I have to respect the rules of this sub

If Xbox wants to recover gamers from PlayStation, why not make online gaming free?

It would be such an easy and effective way to increase the appeal of Xbox and give it an edge over PlayStation. Make GamePass solely a sort of gaming subscription. I understand online gaming costs money but if you want to beat the competition you need to offer something they don't provide. There currently isn't much reason to choose Xbox over PlayStation

I wanted to ask how much do you think Monero is used in transactions but if Monero is actually 100% anonymous there is simply no way we can know for sure. for all we know it's being used widely
