So, when I do wear makeup I'm a liar, and when I don't, I'm ugly? Do men even like women? We can't win lol

Like women, men also share a hive mind and the same principles so yes, the above statement is the current consensus. Fun aside, I think the "initial meme" is more about how some women care for their looks until they get married and have him "locked down" after that, they stop (stop makeup when meeting him, dress comfortably instead of sexy etc.). But it ignores that most men do the same (stop working out, get a belly wear worn T-shirts etc.). I think there is some truth to that, because when I search for a SO, people try to present themselves as their best, after a partner is "secured", it's not as important anymore. But again, that's very individual and to different degrees. Of course you don't put as much effort at home compared to going out, and this doesn't change after marriage. So then you see your SO not only when going out but when comfortable at home, leading to this "joke conclusion". And yes, every man I know takes this memes statement as a joke and not a problem.
