im a dude and i wear eyeliner and eyeshadow. some people say i look hot in it, BUT my girlfriend doesnt want me to wear it, even tho she says it makes me look hot. and some people called me a "******" and im more along the lines of gay than straight so i wasnt offended. and i was mistaken for a girl 5 times. so i stopped wearing it, but my question is why cant guys wear it without being made fun of? and why is it for girls only?

It isn't just for girls. If you want to use makeup then go for it. People are going to talk about you your whole life, and its not what you're called, its what you answer to, so just do what you are comfortable with.

See, what people are close-minded about is that ACTORS are loaded with just as much makeup as the actresses they are working with. They have eyeliner, foundation, concealer, the works, even their lips are primed with certain colors. But it's to make them look perfect not made up. That's the difference, they don't want the men to look shimmery around the eyes and such.
Take Billy Zane for instance you can outwardly notice the amount of eyeliner on that actor, yes, he has thick eyelashes but I've seen him in some films where his eyes looked very strange without his usual drastically dark eyelashes.
So men that use makeup really use it to look perfect as men not to look like women.
It is up to you as to who you want to be and what you want to look like. If you want to wear a lot of makeup maybe choose a fashion trend that will allow it like gothic or heavy metal or that new emo fad. If the look is complete people will accept it a little better. After all, you wouldn't expect to be allowed to swim in a pool if you showed up in a sweatsuit right? You have to adopt a complete look. Try to be a little more open to some new styles that go with wearing makeup.

guys can wear makeup too it isnt just limited to girls you just have to wear it correctly and in a more accepting place like a mall where people wont make comments about you, because they dont actually know you... and if you're mistaken for a girl then maybe you should dress a little more masculinely unless you like looking like a girl i mean u did call urself more gay then straight.(but u have a GF so that would make u bi...lol )... power to the makeup keep experimenting with it and dont listen when they tell you not to wear it..

Guys usually don't give a crap about the following things
Style
Tidyness
hygeine
Your a little different thus people make fun of you. Personally I like guys who are a little bit gay because they tend to be cleaner and have good taste but that's just me.
