I actually like it when girls don't wear make up on dates, it shows me they're secure in their self-image, and that hopefully means they're happy. Whether or not they care about the date (or by extension me) isn't as important as whether or not they're happy. I'm not saying whether or not women SHOULD wear makeup, I'm saying I wish women didn't feel the need to. I wish women weren't insecure about the way they look.
I don't think I need to wear makeup and don't consider myself the least bit insecure. However, I love shopping for, experiementing with, and wearing makeup. Just as I love shopping for and buying beautiful clothes, lingerie, shoes, purses, jewelry, etc., I also have fun with makeup. Beleive it or not, many women just enjoy girly things - nothing to do with insecurity.
