Stop the ‘manscaping’! There, I said it.
I like a freshly-showered and cologne-scented man as
much as the next woman. A guy who takes good care of his teeth, trims his nails,
and gets regular haircuts probably takes care of his overall health. Men who
exercise, eat wholesome foods, and dress in clean clothes look far more
attractive than out-of-shape men in stained tee shirts who think French fries
are a vegetable choice.
However, unless he’s a professional swimmer, I don’t
want my man to wax his legs. Or his chest. Or, God forbid, his nether regions.
I don’t want to sit next to a guy at the salon when I’m getting a pedicure. While I do think more people should pay attention to foot
care, let men get their nails clipped and buffed at the barber shop, where real
men go for grooming. I don’t want my man wearing colorless nail polish and
chatting about his favorite TV shows with my manicurist while she softens his
cuticles.
If you ask me, manscaping has gone awry. I don’t
want my man plucked, waxed, and artificially polished. Unless he’s covering a
blemish with my cover stick, I don’t want him wearing make-up or borrowing my hoop earrings. A shower, shave, and deodorant suit me fine. I like a man
who looks like the guy in the above photo from eyecandy.com. Neat, but masculine.
The feminization of men in our society has gone
amok. It’s time for women to say, enough.
I’ll take my man with hair, please.
