whoa guys!
first off Rudey, there are still plenty of guys with moustaches. PLENTY. what may have left is the soul patch or the confederate soldier beard, but the 'staches are probably here to stay. my daddy just cut his moustache off for the first time since ive been born, and i'm 26! calm your nerves.
95% of women like clean men. that means clothes matching, smelling freshly showered, neat appearance. the degree of hair, facial hair, dress style varies from woman to woman. but ah, our overall consensus is not holey shirt, scruffy sandals, haven't shaved in 5 days, no hair cut, funky smelling...basically one step away from holding a "will work for food" sign.
we also dont want a man prettier/prissier than us, either. if you are hogging more mirror time than me? we've got a problem. if you are at the barber shop kinda frequent, that doesnt bother me if you need to go. the mani/pedi thing for me is pushing it a bit, i think men should be comfortable getting one done, even if their girl does it for them. oh, and uh, capris on a guy are a NO NO for me...nothing personal to any of you who wear them

SBX...I have been trying to make that the whole point of teh thread.....what do we do to take care of ourselves as men....basic 'survival' tip and things like that...but some of those who are insecure think that is bordering on being 'gay'. Just because one is gay doesn't mean that they have an eye for being able to dress or take care of oneself....hack a lot of what we do AS MEN are things we will pass down to our sons and so on....much of what we do NOW is stuff that was passed on from our elders.
And I agree SBX...there is a very fine and simple line bordering me looking good for myself and my woman vs trying to outdo that same woman and I think a lot of men can agree...when a guy does more to look better than the women he dates, they yeah.....he needs to be questioned. Yeah it's all in the presentation and just like some presentations....some are subtle...some are overly done
Cuff links, how to tie a necktie, how to coordinate certain items of clothes for certain occasions etc etc.....there are certain things my grandfather taught me before he passed that I will want to pass on...there is no fear in discussing it...it's simply talk....so if you fear that your masculinity is in danger...then hey...there are plenty of other threads for you to post and create.

you know, my fiance doesnt listen to much i say (no surprise there!) but one thing i turned him on to is a "work night". women know what im talking about, that one night you take the time to do all the work related trimming, shaving, exfoliating, primping, etc. for the rest of the week. now, he takes one night out of the week where he can do all that stuff and use his nivea for men and i dont say a word! he is pretty the rest of the week and everyone is happy!
we know when to use that gut instinct about our man and when his habits have crossed a line. "hmm, is that a french manicure on his toes???" or "where the hell is my mascara?"
cleanliness is next to godliness. plus it will get you some serious play lol!
oh and i swear, i will let your unibrow slide or your shirt stay untucked if men LEARN HOW TO TIE A TIE...

a man who smells good can get it. Repeatedly. lol. (thinking of my HS crush back in the day)
smell is the basest emotional trigger.

I don't believe in looking "pretty" (no offense to any Kappas ....) I believe in being ruggedly handsome. **wink**

it was drakkar i think...and he wore it with this leather jacket all the time. i would take his jacket at the beginning of the day and wear it...sigh, the memories...we are still good friends now though.
nah, never tried it on the current beau. just didnt feel right. besides, my uncle wears the same cologne and i give him a big hug everytime i see him just so it rubs off a little on me lol!

I have to tie my husband's tie. Only I can only tie it on me...so I have to loosen it and put it on him after it's already tied.

per DS's request.. lol.
I want my man to have nice feet. I dont want my nicely shaved and lotioned legs to be scratched up by some crusty man-feet. Talk about killing the mood.. lol.
So if you need to get a pedicure, get one. No one will question your manhood if you do.

There's a big difference in wearing cuff links, tying your own ties, etc. and talking with dudes about wearing boxers or briefs. And there's nothing wrong with being gay aside from your obsession with leather.
