Landscape or MANscape?

Women spend all kinds of time and money grooming themselves. Be it for haircuts/colors, waxing, threading, or plucking women go to all kinds of measures to make what hair they have look fabulous and make the hair they want to get rid of go away and stay away. So why is it that women go to all of this trouble and men get to be, well men.

For instance, during the race to the Stanley Cup finals the Chicago Blackhawks decided to grow out their beards. For weeks they got hairier and hairier and we all cheered them on. Yet during the winter when I decided to stop shaving my legs for a few weeks my husband asks if I am planning on becoming a mountain man. But when my husband joined the beard brigade, did I bitch, no cause it is expected.

About a week ago my husband posted a link to a website in which a man nearly lost a testicle being waxed for charity. A few days later they talked about it on Chelsea Lately. So it made me think, should men spend more time MANSCAPING?

HELLS TO THE YA! This is not just about keeping up their haircut this is about keeping up all hair. My husband is the perfect example. He is 30 years old and he has grandpa hair on his ears and nose. YUP, that's right he has long hairs growing up the side of his ear (GROSS-- although they are fun to pull on when I am pissed at him) and he gets long grandpa hairs growing out his nose (again fun to pull out when pissed. And while he doesn't have a true unibrow he does need a little shaping and cleaning up about once a year. Now he bitches and moans about this does anyone honestly think he is going to manscape his jewels, I think not.

Well he said he would until he read the article, even asked me to ask my waxing goddess to see if she did men. She does and she reports that the balls are in fact the most sensitive and most likely place to tear away skin. The key in to pull the skin around the ball and taut as possible, because lets face it there is a lot of unneeded junk down there. I haven't met a man who has manscaped the jewels (by waxing) but from my own experience that shit hurts, and given men's tolerance for pain I doubt I will. None the less as women whether we wax, shave, or trim we take care of business down there, all we are requesting is the same.
