Is It Just Me?

[ferlew]

Or are young men over grooming, teeth whitening, eyebrow pruning and the like.
Yes, I just watched the extra factor.

[Kramer21]

What's wrong with looking after yourself? I use skin products, whiten my teeth and use sunbeds as well as dye my hair and keep fit and have never felt better, in fact i feel stronger younger and fitter than i did 20 years ago! If you saw me i think you'd agree that i look a lot better than the tab smoking beer swilling mess's that don't give a monkeys about themselves and are ashamed to go topless at the beach and are surprised when they have a heart attack at 50.

Why should females do all the suffering to look good?

[hc4361]

Using sunbeds is the opposite of looking after yourself.

You can be strong, fit, virile and sexy without waxing your eyebrows and having teeth whiter than NHS dentures. Trimming nasal and ear hair is one thing, having those over arched waxed eyebrows is another.

[ummmm]

My son got his eyebrows waxed the other day :-/

As long as they still look manly there is nothing wrong with tidying up the edges.

[Kramer21]

Agreed daisynonna. Back in the old days looking good was a females game and men were okay to look rough and rugged but these days the "metrosexual" look is in which to my knowledge is a mixture of the old with the new so let's say a man who looks after himself who wears ripped jeans and has designer stubble.
Hc4361 many say it's a little extreme but the proof is in the proverbial pudding and i haven't had nothing but positive reviews.

That sounds fine, Kramer. Each to their own anyway. I think waxing body hair on men is too much. There are limits!

[Kramer21]

Unfortunately or from my point of view fortunately pixie i have to say i'm no stranger to threading, shaving waxing or plucking but the only drawback is once you've finely honed yourself with an immaculate grooming you just cannot go back to the way you used to be so have to be constantly stuck on the cycle of beauty maintenance as our female counterparts which is rewarding but bloody expensive.

[hc4361]

A high maintenance man!

[Kramer21]

Indeed i am!

[sherrardk]

Gosh Kramer, how much does all that lot cost? Personally I believe people should have low standards as they are easier to maintain.

[Kramer21]

Not as much as you'd think but it soon adds up sherrardk and there are days when i wished i just stuck to being a pale hairy ape but once i'm finished and feel like a million dollars i always look in the mirror and think "Worth it!"

[sherrardk]

Each to their own. Some of us were just born gorgeous! (Joking, it really is ech to their own.)

[shoota]

Lot of effort to go to to be stuck on a puter at 11'20 on a Saturday night...

[Kramer21]

There's nothing wrong with admitting that some of us were born "With it" and some unfortunate souls such as myself have to work a little harder for "it" it's the differences in life and each other which makes it interesting

[Kramer21]

Shoota this is actually the first time i've been up this late on the "Puta" i'm usually out but have an early start tomorrow where my effort will be greatly appreciated.

[hc4361]

Kramer, for a metrosexual, hip, cool guy you have some very old fashioned ideas about women.

[EcclesCake]

I'm not one to hog the bathroom but if Mr Cake spent longer in front of the mirror I would worry.....that he was turning into a tart or or I was letting myself go!

[Kramer21]

Hc4361 really? Which old fashioned ideas were these?

[DaisyNonna]

"You either 'ave it or don't 'ave it. And I 'appen to 'ave it" Fagin, from the musical 'Oliver'.

[hc4361]

Kramer, this opinion of yours:
If a man can bed a woman without any effort whatsoever then what kind of respect will he have knowing that any man she met that night would be in bed with her as he is now? Also you'd think she's pretty loose and must have done this thousands of times. Yes the men would be happy at having got his end away but he'd be a fool if he thought she was marriage material as men enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the sense of achievement at the end which you wouldn't get with a woman who gave it up on the first night
