The only reason men don't wear makeup is because it's not socially acceptable.

Also because we ain't got time for that.

I'd argue the time men spend on the gym that they won't if they wouldn't want to impress women is roughly equivalent to putting on a little make-up.

I don't go to the gym either.

Yeah, you don't, but you have used the collective "we" in your comment, as in "we men", since that is the topic we're conversing about. And if you think of "men in general" there are quite a lot that do fitness in some form to impress women (or other men). If you had used "I" from the beginning, I wouldn't have said anything ;)
