For the pathetic, femininity is camouflaged by synthetic cosmetics.
For a man, the only acceptable facade is the raw, undeniable visual of success.

Success is the only makeup a man requires, and if your bank account & your character during that phase of growth aren’t your primary features, you are simply a poorly presented fraud.
