Men Wear Lip Balm: What?!?

It is indisputable that some males do use lip balm. When I was still residing in a nation having a winter season, I did use this item. I don't have a negative viewpoint on this issue. It wasn't until a young student of mine applied lip balm to his lips while taking an online course. I can't help but question whether or not he is gay. What are your thoughts on this issue?

Wearing lip balm doesn't make him gay. He probably just has dry lips.

I hope you are right. He is also a reserved soul when it comes to having soft voice during the class.

Yup. I see, and I know. Like celebrities of Kpop, they wear lip balm, sunscreen....

You are right. It is so common for Kpop idols to wear makeups, such as lip balm, etc. It is given that they are well-known with this concern.

@Shavkat I guess it depends on the culture of that particular place to wear these types of products.

Lip gloss would be a little different for men as men don’t usually wear makeup but everyone’s lips get dry nothing wrong with them using chapstick or things like that.

I had my class with him today. He claimed that it is still winter in his place. He needs to put some lip gloss for his dry lips.

@Shavkat mine had been so dry this winter I’ve had to use it a lot. I don’t think I’ve ever used it this much in the past. My sister used to get very chapped when we were kids.

Dry lips happen to everyone. But even if it's lip gloss or lipstick that doesn't mean he is gay

I agree because some rockstars wear lipstick, nail polish, and the like.

It is indeed for dry lips. There is nothing to use it, but it should be in the right place.

Lipbalm is for dry skin and any gender can use. We are mostly stuck with prejudices. One of my friend in High school liked to put nail paints. He was not gay but straight. He is now in mid age and with family. He still loves to put nail paints.

I find it weird for men to wear nail polish, but I respect their preference for it. At some point, I can relate because in some local men tribes do paint their nails here. They are considered the warriors in their tribes.

@Shavkat Yes, it is preference and should not be judged. I am a female but I don't enjoy wearing makeup.

He may require it because of a medical problem, in my opinion. Certain people are prone to developing dry lips, thus they occasionally require it. Lip balms are not just for women, either.

Perhaps his lips were dry. Lip balm isn't lipstick. It's for everybody.

I don't see any problem with men using lip palm. It is for dry lips. As a matter of fact, there are skin care products tailored for men in the market, and some men are starting to use them.

I agree. I just only feel uncomfortable seeing them putting on the lip balm in public.
