I get what you're saying, but they also have a point. Yes, men can wear makeup, but there are many reasons a lot of guys actively refuse that option. Are any of them "real", no, but considering the social nature of our species, even the ones that aren't "real" still matter to us

It's as "real" as your name is "real" and is really your name. It may not be a large object visible to the naked eye but it's still a solid thing stored in neurons of many physical brains.

Can you imagine the response from a woman after your first shower if you were good at applying makeup and used it all the time? "You.. you lied to me! Wait, are you gay? I'm so confused right now."

That's the most "well actually" comment I've read today.

It's 10PM. Do you know where your children are?

But really, I'm agreeing with the guy/gal. There's no ackshually. There are very real consequences to social faux paus. Language isn't a tangible object you can hood in your hand, but I don't think anyone would argue that language isn't real. Societal norms are the same.

Don't worry, I understood completely what you were saying lol. Most of our day to day is determined by things that are only real because we have decided they are. Morality, laws, language.. none of it's real, except that it is.
