Girl-y men

[snoopy]

Nope, can't do girl-y men. I want my man spending far less time looking in the mirror than I do, but more importantly, I could never be with a man who acts like a junior high school girl. Gossipy, giggling men give me the heebie jeebies.

I like manly men - oops man (sorry DH)


The odd plucking of eyebrow and nasal hair is acceptable. And cooking a lovely meal is too. Also vacuuming, ironing, laundry, dusting, cleaning
And going shopping for new shoes with DW and footing the bill is very manly.

It doesn't trim itself

Hey, my SO has an earring and he's not girly. I think he just secretly wishes he was a pirate.



I like the manscaping term! I do make my DH shave his "back of the neck beard." He's much more hairy now than when I met him. I also try to get a little vasoline on those elbows.

It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again....

Congratulations!

Thank you, and your SO is a lucky man.

Can I have my DW call you; she seems to think 3 pairs a day is OK.

I have :

Waterproof hi-top hiking boots that double as sneakers because they are very lightweight. I have had these for about 3 years. Wear these on weekends and to and from work.

Brown dress boots I keep at work for brown hued outfits. i have had these for over 6 years.

Black dress shoes I keep at work for black hued outfits. I have had these for over 2.5 years.

I also do have 2 pairs of sandals for the summer time.

My sneakers were $100. Paid for with my fitness reimbursement from work so I went high end. My other shoes all came from Payless or Target and cost me between $12 and $30.

Like I said, I have no need for lots of shoes.

Me neither, my SO has more shoes than I do. I just dont feel the need to have a lot of shoes. One of my least favorite activites is shoe/clothes shopping. I guess I'm no

I want a man to be a man.

There is a place for good hygeine. No unibrows please.

OK, this one has always confused me. How is a unibrow bad hygiene? What is unclear about having hair connecting your eyebrows? I just don't get why this wigs people out so much.

What was that werewolf movie, it took place in medieval times, aristocrats, where if a man had a unibrow, you couldn't trust him, he usually turned out to be the werewolf....

hmmm, sorry about that, my mind wanders easily.

I like my men manly. My DH is perfect for me--he's clean, but it's only Dial soap and Pert for him--there is no face wash, no body wash, no moisturizers. His hands are rough, I don't think I've ever seen him use lotion. Shaving is the most sophiticated grooming technique he will employ--he doesn't have a natural propensity for the unibrow. He hates shopping but doesn't mind carrying my purchases in, and can only cook if I'm standing right next to him giving him step by step instructions. I find this all very endearing. I like that we're different.

When DH and I married he was a manly man and would have nothing to do with grooming (he was clean). He wore clothes from Walmart and Sears. He washed his face with soap and never used moisturizer. He bit off his cuticles. He owned three pairs of shoes.

Now - complete opposite, he does the manscaping - including below the belt, his eyebrows, has manicures, owns several moisurizers (depending on the season), his clothes and shoes come mostly from Nordstrom. DH wears things he never would have 9 years ago like linen pants. He is smokin' hot!

He used to fight the term, but now agrees he is a metrosexual - he likes to dress nice, look good and pamper himself. Nothing wrong with that in my book!

 

[ChrisnSteph]

A manly man who takes care of himself. Nothing wrong with that!

As for the unibrow thing, I think it's just weird IMHO. Kinda creeps me out.

Okay, I like to think I take care of my appearance, but still only spend 5 minutes or less in front of the mirror.

But how did a thread about men taking care of their appearances turn into gossipy giggling men?

Well I wasn't aware that we had to stay on a specific topic.

The OP asked if we were attracted to girl-y men. I prefer men who act like men, not high school girls, so I said so. Its just a pet peeve of mine, but I'm o.k. with it if anyone else is inclined toward that sort of man.

It's just preference. Like men enjoying women's smooth armpits. Some don't mind hairy ones, some think it's revolting, even though the hair grew there naturally. I don't care if a man wants to go around with a unibrow, but I do prefer a woman without pit hair. Or a unibrow. Just preference.

sorry! I didn't mean that a unibrow was unhygenic. Those were two different sentences. I don't care for the unibrow look personally. The hygeine part was meant as brushing teeth, combing hair, plucking runaway nose hairs, that kind of thing.

I have to admit dbf has turned more metrosexual since we met. It's funny this topic came up because I was just thinking about it yesterday. I was watching him in his triple 5 soul t-shirt and Abercrombie jeans while he was putting some new product in his hair, and all I could think was "what have I done!". He looks way hotter now but it was much cheaper to dress him before.

I predict within two years we'll be clawing at each other to get to the mirror first.

I am but an unfrozen caveman Diser. I know not of your "plucking", or "combing", or "bathing".
