It's difficult to navigate

Is your penis getting in the way?

Jon you know where the door is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

sugarlost · 11/09/2020 20:29

I don't mind it now as I've built up a good collection of prints which I try and coordinate to my outfit.

It covers blemishes.

I don't have to smile so can hide behind it like others have mentioned!

:) Smiling now without mask

coffeerice · 11/09/2020 20:30

I think you're a dick if you don't wear one

DuckonaBike · 11/09/2020 20:31

No, I have a selection of lovely ones. They are much prettier than my face.

SukiPutTheEarlGreyOn · 11/09/2020 20:31

Hopeisnotastrategy I keep going out shopping with a mask and thinking ‘why on earth did I wear lippie?’ Must find some way to rejig mask wearing makeup but not sure how well I can rock dramatic cat flick eye-liner at 50+.

ddl1 · 11/09/2020 20:33

No. Maybe if it was JUST me; but everyone's wearing them, and for a good reason.

user1471500037 · 11/09/2020 20:33

8 pages of people saying no - well it will be easy to spot me, I’m the person on the tube without one!

thesquirrelsnuts · 11/09/2020 20:34

god no, they hide my jowls and bad teeth. first time in years I've not felt like a total munter. I don't wear a mask cos of covid Grin

goose1964 · 11/09/2020 20:34

No, I've bright reusable ones.

DeliciouslyFemale · 11/09/2020 20:34

Hope. I’m currently making masks and matching hair bands, to stop my hair from ticking my face, therefor decreasing the temptation to touch my face. I’m also making covers to cover the peaks of caps, so they match.

AgeLikeWine · 11/09/2020 20:35

No.

I feel like a responsible member of society.

DeliciouslyFemale · 11/09/2020 20:35

Nope.

VestroPrincipiDivino · 11/09/2020 20:36

Why would anyone feel like a dick in mask?

Imissmoominmama · 11/09/2020 20:36

It’s funny watching people talk in those pleated disposable ones- they look like robot monkeys.

I don’t feel like a dick- I just feel quite warm.

Brighterthansunflowers · 11/09/2020 20:37

Nope. The dicks are the ones wearing them around their chin or dangling off their ear or not covering their nose or who remove them to speak

julybaby32 · 11/09/2020 20:37

No.

Southernsoftie76 · 11/09/2020 20:37

Nope, got used to them and 99% of people where I live are wearing them too, I’d feel a dick if I wasn’t wearing one.

ChristmasSnowball · 11/09/2020 20:39

No.

I was wearing a mask at the beginning of March, When it was getting bad in Spain and Italy...

Hardly no-one wore one then, I was stared at. But i didn't care

vodkaredbullgirl · 11/09/2020 20:40

Got to wear one for work.

Pobblebonk · 11/09/2020 20:40

Why would anyone feel like a dick wearing something that 95% of the population are wearing?

JustFrustrated · 11/09/2020 20:40

I totally forget it's on now. Also means I forget people can't see that I'm smiling at them which makes me a bit sad.

Effitall · 11/09/2020 20:41

@mommybear1

Not at all but I think the twats who wear them under their noses look like dicks 🤷🏻‍♀️
This!
NataliaOsipova · 11/09/2020 20:44

Yes. I do. And it wipes my lipstick off, which I hate.

Ted27 · 11/09/2020 20:45

@catgirl1976

oh yes and cheer up it might never happen

I had two teeth extracted today, I've based my cosmetic treatment on the fact that I can wear a mask for large parts of the next 6 months so no will see the gap
