I do have the following products in my bathroom:

Clinique Clarifying cleanser #2
Clinique Dramatically different Moisturizing lotion
L'Occitane products - Lots of stuff
American Crew hair products - leave in conditioner, styling gel, daily shampoo, conditioner.
L'Oreal - shampoo and conditioner
Lots and lots of cologne and aftershave
L'Occitane - shower oil
Bath sponges, loofahs (sp)
Waterpiks, electric toothbrushes, different mouthwashes and toothpastes.

But this is just the basic stuff that all guys need right?

I'n my opinion, healthy skin comes from how you eat. It has little to do with products. I'll refrain from name calling, but given your list, your a little......shall we say metro. I loud up on fresh fruits, veggies, limit dairy and red meats, but do enjoy chewing on a steak from time to time, I also juice fresh pressed juices, the works. My skin stays in fine shape and I know it is from the diet. All I use to wash is shampoo and soap.

Come on artsy - some guys are genetically predisposed to unibrows - some are so bad you don't know where the eyebrows end and the hairline begins...some grooming may be necessary to look "average" - but the problem is that the desired effect is usually overshot, and the brows look so contrived they don't match the rest of the face. A little grooming may be necessary (think Frieda Khalo) but it shouldn't be obvious. I'm just sayin'....

Oh and back to the original topic, SOME women like younger men for the same reason SOME men like younger women. Personally, I would prefer a woman within 5 years either side of my age. I think guys who go after women half their age are wrong. I think women who go with a guy twice their age are wrong too. How can you relate to someone 20 years younger then you?

I tweeze the uni-brow area and any hairs that make my eyebrows look bushy.

I'm not particularly fond of metrosexuality, but I don't want a guy that looks and acts like Homer Simpson, either. Currently I am dating a man that is nine years my junior (I'm 46 and he is 37). It's kind of borderline to be "older woman/younger man" in my opinion, but I've had enough comments from friends about his age that I suppose I'm in the minority.

In any case, he is well-groomed but he doesn't overdo it. No cologne, no fussy clothing though he's always neat and clean (career Army life will do that to you!) He does wear a watch and one piece of plain jewelry but that's it. He doesn't remove body hair below the line of his facial hair, which is just fine with me (he's not grotesquely hairy in any case).

Personally, I like a guy that looks and feels like a guy, not some sort of androgynous person.

Uh, Homer Simpson is actually really cool and admired by a lot of people.

Grooming IS necessary omg! I want a guy that gets a hair cut when he needs it, plucks or waxes or shaves his brows when needed (& that's all the same by the way.. just don't give us details), and a guy that showers regularly, keeps himself in shape, and dresses nice! That's just mandatory. What does this have to do w/ being younger??? A woman that goes after a much younger guy.... I would say that's more about personality?? A man can be sexy at any age.. And as a woman, the older we get the sexier men our age and older get.. I'm certainly not comparing a 45 year old to a 19 year old. That's like another species!
