Well as a guy I will admit I have always been sort of very picky on soap/gel I use. Heck, I like to go for some very feminine fragrances too, but I still buy more of course from my targeted market[men] simply because is my role to do so...

Shampoos/hair care are a different story.

Listen up, you wonderful men. Wear your manly colognes and after shave. We ladies like it. Shave your faces, not your chests and bellies.

Real woman want our partners to have natural hair on their chests and belly. Lesbo women want them clean-shaven. Think about that!

Be gentle. Be kind. But mostly... be male.

Nothing wrong here, the market has increased though! I was walking through Rite Aid yesterday and I saw "Beard Oil" all over. I was slightly surprised as I haven't really seen it in stores or well, the big boxes much. I knew exactly what it was, just a year ago I had to find that stuff on Amazon, now I see it everywhere.

Like I said I am more about being "clean" really, I still try to let my beard grow and still go for my target market.

Yep, the manufacturers and retailers have realized there is a market and are hoping to appeal to the male ego. I think they realize that a lot of younger men don't have a 'fear' of being judged or labeled for using more or better grooming products. The line of men's products is definitely growing, especially skin care items.

In other words, they are saying that all this men grooming revolution is part of the feminization of men



Metrosexual is a term that has been used for many years now. The cosmetic companies love it and will promote as much as they can to make money.


I like a clean groomed man. But once a man cares more about his appearance and spends more time than I do looking in the mirror he is not man enough for me. That would make him too prissy for me. Sorry but that is how I feel.

I don't care what others do I'm just stating "my" preference for a partner or mate.



BTW, I don't know any alpha males who would spend this amount of time trying to defend his grooming habits. The alpha males I know don't "discuss" their grooming habits.

The new thing I see is men with a bun on top of their head.I can only guess it is some gay french thing. Staying clean and shaven is a good thing.Some cologne is ok as long as you are not bathing in it.
