Should men get it off their chests It's my job to be the smooth operator and
granted, chances are that when a girl does find herself to be a position to do
some horizontal jogging with a man whose lobster she likes(Lobster being their
soul), she will have hairy legs.But they'll definitely be smoother than his and
he definitely won't notice the three-Day girl growth, unless he's gay, in which
case it's time to abort the mission. Hairless men give me the ick factor with
brucie bonus points.And if the hairless state is selfinflicted then he'd never
get much action around me as i'd be laughing so much. Blokes are supposed to be
hairy and, well, manly.Being hairy is part of being manly.I recently elected to
avoid all humans for the weekend and have a gangsta session in shady(My gaff).
This involved nothing more alarming than the godfather trilogy with some
goodfellas thrown in for the craic. Bugger me, but the sight of all those true religion

blokes showing their shoulder and back hair off in those
wife-Beater vests while they played with guns provided some elvis-Inspired
feelings of being all shuck up. So where did it all go wrong?It'd be easy to say
that women interfere too much and try to exert too much influence over how their
man looks.This may be true in some cases but it doesn't convince me.We're all
the boss of ourselves, at the end of the day. And there's a fine line between
having aveda conditioner and dermalogica moisturiser in the bathroom of your
bachelor pad and popping into the waxing house for a short back and sides down
below. Realistically there's no turn off in a fella looking after himself
physically.My pops and bro both mind themselves-But not to the point where
they'd consider asking me what home waxing kit provides the best results. So the
o'keeffe men were no use explaining this latest craze for lads wanting to be so
smooth they'd slide up a hill. Perhaps it's to do with advertising-Any bloke
looking at the size of dayveed beckham's package in the armani ads might be
forgiven for having a moment of doubt about their appearance. But then he's
shagging vicky beckham and according to her hubby she'd be safe even if she was
in the nip in a room with his three best mates, so what does that say about the
way they live? Anyway, if it helps at all, here's two things most women think
about men, in my experience. Firstly, they should definitely be bigger than
us-For example if aMan can fitIntoMyJeans this doesNot bode well-Don't care if
it's a committed loved-Up relationship or just a
shag-Fest.No.Man.Fits.Into.My.Jeans. And it's a toughie,No doubt about it. But
if I hadMy way, everyMan would be on friendly terms with this most effective of
depilatory methods.And if that sounds a bit body fascist, then i apologise-
I'mNot claiming to be the pinnacle of physical perfectionMyself and waxing is a
personal choice, of course. But, since you ask, waxing in men is more than
that-It's a lifestyle decision.The decision to wax says a lot more about who you
are than you'd think-Take david beckham in the armani ad.Most sceptics were
quick to point out the possibility that he's stuffing socks somewhere, which is
undoubtedly a gentleman's prerogative, so we'll let that one lie.But his smooth,
hairless chest and body immediately let us know that this is a confident,
noughties man who isn't afraid to look after himself without it threatening his
masculinity. Maybe this is hair-Ist, but when i think of a hirsute man, i think
of something very '60s or '70s and cheesy, like tom jones, austin powers, or
even the lovely tom selleck, star of '80s drama magnum pi with his handlebar
moustache, god bless it. (Although he did shave the moustache off at one stage
when he starred as monica's much older boyfriend in friends and it suited him
much, much better-And took years off him). I don't know why, but i immediately
associate lots of hair on display as something from a bygone era-A chest rug
peeking out of a shirt with lots of buttons undone just makes me think of gold
medallions from the days when men were manly and not necessarily for the benefit
of womankind. Seeing chest hair on display when it should be covered up makes me
want to avert my eyes in the same way as does a woman showing too much
cleavage.It's just unnecessary. In ireland, we've a tendency to scoff at men who
take pride in their appearance and invest time and energy into maintaining
treatments like waxing or hair dyeing. But we should get with the programme and
realise that there's absolutely nothing wrong with male grooming-Metrosexuality
is here to stay and we should this page
embrace it rather than
laughing at it. Why?Because the boys are worth it, naturally or not so naturally
and us girls should stop thinking that beauty and everything that goes with it
is solely our preserve.
