Wax Appointment for Two
Posted by Jennifer at 8:27 am
There are times when we go out with our special guy and notice several women taking a glance at him. But are they admiring your other half, or wondering what on earth you’re doing with him? It could go either way.
In today’s world, men are becoming more conscious of their appearance in all aspects. Not only are they worrying about what to wear, but now they’re taking longer looks in the mirror in order to pick apart every flaw. Perhaps we owe this to our endless fawning over actors like Ryan Reynolds or Matthew McConaughey (my personal favorite). This could be seen as something really great or really annoying.
Some men are taking their appearance a little too seriously and should probably bring it down a couple of notches, while others are doing just enough to take care of themselves. So what are these men doing? Some go in for plastic surgery and others take less drastic measures, such as a facial or Botox. Cosmetic surgery for men includes a wide range of procedures that you may not have even heard of, including pec implants, calf implants, chin augmentation, and male breast reduction. Suddenly a clean shave, neatly combed hair, and a pressed shirt just doesn’t sound so elaborate.
On the less invasive side, men are now booking appointments at the tanning salon and beauty salon. Waxing and threading are two of the most popular forms of hair removal for women and lately, men are also taking part. Laser hair removal is also highly popular amongst men. A trip to your favorite beauty salon for some alone time may soon be a thing of the past if your guy decides he wants to try out waxing.
Personally, I don’t mind my guy primping himself a little. But I also love how he looks au natural — stubble on his face and no hair product. Men should still look like, well, men and not a Ken doll. Just like our guys like us without so much makeup and hairspray, we always appreciate the manly, rugged look. Besides, what woman wants her man to look prettier than her?
Have you seen any over the top primping? Let us know!

There is nothing like a well groomed man. But, when there is too much primping and it is noticable - hhmmmm! Makes you wonder? I will say that my brother does apply make-up. But, only cover stick. This is because he has a disease and the medication taken causes dark circles and at times patches on his skin. When the patches appear he will where a cover up. He does this because he is in the public a lot. His apprearance is very important to him! The make-up is not noticable and I would have never known - but he did tell me.

I personally do not like “pretty” boys, I am all about the all-natural all-American “Real” men! I dont mind a little peach fuzz! Although, if they have a hairy chest like Steve Carell then a little waxing wouldn’t hurt.
Great post Jen! And good choice on photos. Matthew McConaughey is HOT! -

I agree. I think men should be well-groomed, but not overly done and end up looking ‘fake’ (for a lack of better word).

Men need to dig a little deeper and realize if you find the right WOMAN, a real woman. She will love you regardless. In my case, imperfection is character.
Do understand that there is no reason to give up on your self. You should maintain an appearance worth a glance.
I don’t understand why so many people are throwing in the towel looking for something better. Where are your roots people? Hollywood is only a temporary fix. So why not waste your $$$? In the long run only the Dr. who created you is living the life.
