He Admitted To Prefering His Girlfriend Without Any Makeup On, And She Accused Him Of Being A Manipulative Jerk Who’s Forcing Her To Give It Up

This 26-year-old guy currently has a girlfriend, who is 24. And they recently got into an argument about a touchy subject: his girlfriend wearing makeup.
For some context, his girlfriend absolutely loves doing her makeup. He admits that he doesn’t really have a say in the matter, either, since it’s his girlfriend’s body.
“But I find her more attractive without makeup on,” he revealed.
Apparently, he thinks that makeup just looks like paint or colored flour stuck on women’s faces. He also doesn’t like how, when kissing his girlfriend, the makeup sometimes rubs off, and he gets products on his face.
This simply isn’t appealing to him, which is why he prefers his girlfriend’s bare face. Whenever she isn’t wearing makeup, he thinks she looks beautiful and makes sure to compliment her a ton, too.
However, his girlfriend still thinks this is a big issue in their relationship since she wants him to find her attractive regardless and compliment her on different makeup looks.
“But I genuinely find nothing attractive about it,” he admitted.
According to him, the products just make his girlfriend look pretty different. So, while he realizes that wearing makeup is her choice, he’s tried to tell her that she also cannot just force him to love the look.
“She doesn’t need me to like it to have fun wearing it if she is putting it on for self-satisfaction,” he reasoned.

“And if she is putting it on to look attractive to me, her natural look is more attractive.”
Well, his girlfriend took that to mean that he was “forcing” her to give up makeup and called him a complete jerk for making her be “subservient to her wishes.”
She’s mostly angry that he refuses to kiss her or compliment her whenever she has makeup on.
“I do kiss her hands or shoulders if she doesn’t put body glitter on. I just don’t want to interact with the makeup,” he noted.
That’s why he just put his foot down and reiterated his opinion that, yes, his girlfriend is free to do whatever she wants. However, she cannot force him to like the same thing.
She still didn’t understand that, though, and claimed that he was simply acting like a manipulative jerk.
And now, with his girlfriend so upset with him, he’s really not sure if admitting to preferring his girlfriend without makeup was truly a jerky thing to do.
Have you ever dated someone who didn’t like makeup? Do you think it’s a red flag or just a personal preference? How do you suggest he handles this situation to mend their relationship?
