I have no idea who the "him" is either, this appears to be 2 women.

Your right its pointless but telling that a sociologist should do a study on endometriosis is just gonna end up with "is it terrible? Yeah its terrible."

Personally, I find a small amount of makeup can look really good, but it gets to a point where the entire face is thickly coated and it looks off putting.

To be fair, some people don't realize how much product no-makeup makeup takes. It can take a fuckton of product to look like you naturally woke up like that and aren't wearing a stitch of makeup. It comes down to technique. You gotta have good technique to cake it on without it looking caked on.

Yes, but the study is specifically about "less" makeup, not no makeup. I figure if guys preferred no makeup, that would be the headline.

“As shown in Figure 1, we identified 21,336 articles about endometriosis published in the 20 years from 2002 through 2021. Beginning in 2013, the number of articles published yearly exceeded 1000”
So averaging about three articles published every day for 20 years

Largest-Ever Genetic Study of Endometriosis Uncovers 80 Risk Regions and New Avenues for Treatment
medicine.yale.edu
Yale investigators, in collaboration with a team of international scientists, have nearly doubled the known genetic landscape of endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women worldwide. By analyzing the genomes of more than 1.4 million women, including over 105,000 cases, the study identifies 80 genomic regions linked to endometriosis risk, 37 of which are new discoveries. This large multi-ancestry study provides the most complete map so far of the biological mechanisms behind the disease. The research team’s findings were published in Nature Genetics. “This research was a collaborative effort involving investigators with diverse expertise to translate the discovery power of several major biobanks into actionable findings that can improve the care of women affected by endometriosis,” says Renato Polimanti, PhD, MSc, senior author and associate professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine.
Breaking the "diagnostic delay" with genetics
Endometriosis, characterized by endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus, often presents with complex symptoms and a diagnostic delay that can last up to a decade. The Yale study explored the genetic links between the disease and its diverse symptoms, such as chronic pelvic pain, migraine, and nausea. "This study advances our understanding of genetic risk factors for endometriosis and provides molecular support for several leading hypotheses on its pathogenesis," says Dora Koller, PhD, lead author, research affiliate at Yale School of Medicine, and principal investigator at the Women and Perinatal Health Research Group at the Sant Pau Research Institute in Barcelona, Spain.
Key findings include:
Targeted Drug Repurposing: The researchers identified potential new treatments by looking at drugs already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other conditions. Highlights include medications used for breast cancer, contraception, and the prevention of preterm birth.
Genetic Overlap with Adenomyosis: The study found five genetic loci shared between endometriosis and adenomyosis (a condition where tissue grows into the uterine wall), helping to clarify whether these are distinct diseases or different versions of the same process.
Global Ancestry Insights: By including participants from multiple population groups, the team demonstrated that while the core biology of the disease is shared globally, specific genetic variations may contribute to how the disease manifests in different regions.
A path toward personalized care
The integration of "multi-omics" data—combining genetics with protein and tissue analysis—allowed the team to link risk factors to pathways involved in inflammation, hormonal regulation, and tissue remodeling. These insights align with major theories of the disease, including "benign metastasis" and immune dysfunction. While a genetic test for endometriosis is not yet available for clinical use, the development of these ancestry-informed risk models marks a significant step toward personalized medicine for millions of women suffering in silence. Yale researchers who contributed to the study include Polimanti, Jun He, Dan Qiu, David Davtian, Ziang Xu, Zhongzheng Mao, Eleni Friligkou, and Brenda Cabrera-Mendoza.

People don't wear makeup to impress or look good other people though. It's for themselves. So why should it matter what other people think?

I’ve heard that. I don’t believe that’s totally true.
I think it’s as true as why I work out. Yes it’s for me, I feel better afterward…but there are also other reasons I do it too.
Maybe I’m projecting, but I think wanting to be attractive comes with being gregarious in nature.
•
u/Investigator300000 36m ago
They do it for themselves, but within that "for themselves" it is clearly implied: "It makes me feel better about myself and sexier when men look at me more." In short, it is the attention that makes them feel validated; it isn't really about yourself if you are doing it to feel better by using the attention of others—at least, that’s how I see it.

u/Tough_Preference1741 29m ago
I put on some make up when I’m not even leaving the house. It’s generally Just CC cream and eye brow tint. The CC cream is both my moisturizer and sunscreen. The eye brow tint is because I have blonde eyebrows and I hate seeing them in the mirror. It’s for myself. It’s not to feel sexier for anyone else.
•
u/Investigator300000 25m ago
When you put it that way, it sounds more like you're doing it to take care of your skin, but I get your point; still, most of the people I've seen are just like I described when it comes to makeup.

u/terra_terror 31m ago
Maybe for some. Others genuinely find it fun to wear make-up. Or they don't care about getting attention from others, but they like looking in a mirror and seeing how they look when they're wearing it.
For example, I'm completely uninterested in anything sexual or romantic and I hate any attention in that way, but I enjoy wearing glittery make-up because sparkles are super fun.

u/Investigator300000 27m ago
You make a valid point; there are people like that, but we can't say the majority are. From what I can see, it's usually people who use it for attention and to feel better about themselves.
But I can't say that all women or men who wear makeup are like that.

•
u/Brilliant-Expert3150 22m ago
No? My wearing makeup has nothing to do with getting men's attention. I wear no makeup makeup because at 35 it makes me feel better to have an even skin tone and not look tired and old. It's not for men, I sometimes do it even when I'm home all day because looking put together makes me feel more put together. Especially when I've been on WFH since COVID and it hasn't been great for my mental health.

u/jellooshot 0m ago
That's like the most idiotic thing I keep hearing all the time. There's a reason women wear makeup outdoors and not indoors, the same way we wear better clothing outside and not at home. We want to fit a certain standard, whether it's decency, fashion, beauty, you name it.
And I'm not saying that women wear makeup for men. No, they wear makeup for everyone, women included, actually mostly women if you think about it, because as per this "study", men actually don't find women more attractive in makeup, on the contrary, me included by the way. Still, I don't get the need to deny that.

That's an unfair generalization. Some people where makeup out of societal obligation, or to look more professional at their job (impress). I known many people who only put on makeup when they will be around other people, suggesting that is not always about them.

If you live in a reality where endometriosis has a scientific name and with all the information online about it, you would think that might be a key indicator that it’s being studied.
The fact she has the ability to reference it with a predetermined name and knows what it is enough to whine about it online makes her more ignorant than the false equivalency she’s trying to push.
