Why Do Guys Shave their Body Hair? Should I Shave too?

Shaving the body is common for women, but nowadays, men are also opting to shave their body hair as well. In the past, the presence of thick hair on the male body was a sign of masculinity and a way to show that he is a “Manly Man.” But now, it can be taken as a sign of poor hygiene for many people, and many may even think that the person does not care about themselves.

So now many are thinking is it okay for the men to remove their body hair, and if it is, what are the reasons for it? We have done our homework, and here are what we found are the top 4 reasons some men like to shave their body hair.

4 Benefits of Shaving your Body Hair

  1. One of the main reasons men shave their body is due to cleanliness. They simply feel cleaner. For many people, body hair is a sign that the person does not take care of themselves. Many men feel it is easier to wash the dirt and sweat from the body when the skin is smooth and shaved.
  2. Another big reason why men shave their bodies is to eliminate body odor. The body hair gives bacteria a suitable environment to grow, and due to sweat from our body, the bacteria propagate. It can cause the body to smell. Therefore, removing body hair can potentially reduce body odor.
  3. Other men shave their body hair due to aesthetic reasons. Many celebrities and athletes like to shave their body hair as it gives a smooth look for the camera and increases the appearance of smooth muscular physique.
  4. Many athletes have been known to shave their body hair due to perceived advantages they get on the field. It is said shaving can also reduce the chances of inflammation after a bruise. 

Conclusion

Previously shaving and waxing body hair was considered taboo for men, but now it is very common as many women think men are too manly.

Either way, make sure you enjoy and feel good about the way you look.

4 Tips on How to Get Better Looking With Age

When it comes to natural appearance, there’s no doubt that men can rival women. And that’s because we make it look easy!

 

While women spend a great deal of time and money beautifying themselves, men on the other hand use their two-decade old soap to get the job done. And we still look good!

 

If you’re stressing about being old and still looking good, we have your back. Below, are some tried and true tips to keep you looking good as you age.

1. Facial Hair

What do you find most attractive in men’s appearance? Those curly smooth beards, right? Facial hair brings a different kind of attraction to every guy. 

 

If you ask me, it’s like their masculinity coming to life. So, taking good care of your facial hair and styling it just right is a great start to keep you looking classy.

2. Strong Jawline Game

Men with chiseled jawlines appear to be more powerful. It makes him look like a serious, hardworking individual who exercises and consumes a healthy diet, even if the reality is far from the appearance!

Jaw exercises such as chewing a gum, helps you get a sharp jawline and look attractive.

3. Good Hair

As men age, their hair becomes more mature. Some women adore a man with nice hair. Although some ladies like men with bald or shaved heads. In either case, keep it neat. 

 

If you have good hair, make sure it stays that way by practicing good cleanliness and using hair products that are beneficial to your hair rather than the cheap stuff.

4. Body Hair

Men with a little body hair are often preferred by some. This is because body hair can be taken as a sign of reproductive success and maturity, whether consciously or subconsciously. This adds to a potential mate’s overall physical beauty or sexual attraction. Forget that baby-smooth nonesense. Real men embrace the beast.

What to do for Valentines Now that You’ve Remembered

 

I won’t waste time with the intro as you are likely running out of time. Here are five super quick, but thoughtful things you can plan for your main squeeze before tomorrow!

 

  1. Unique Dinner / Weekend Trip – While most men will be trying to take their hubby out to an exclusive spot in the city, try thinking outside of the box. There are bound to be really nice romantic and small spots around that many people haven’t  quite thought of. The trick is to not get too caught up in the hype and don’t be stuck on one burrow. There are plenty of other burrows that aren’t as far to get to as one might think. You can also try diner on the water. Spirit Cruise offers a nice weekend cruise around the city for about 3 hours. You can also try a quick weekend escape to upstate NY in a cabin or nice little cozy hotel. It’s super quick, and your lady will definitely appreciate it.
  2. Something Homemade – This can be tricky, but if done right can yield a great return on investment. Check Youtube, there are tons of inexpensive arts and crafts ideas floating around that can be done in a few hours if you are willing to put in a little time and research. Women love knowing that you spent time doing something meaningful so money isn’t always the solution – though it does help! I’m not going to tell you all my ideas, but if you can squeeze in a heartfelt, handwritten letter – you’re golden! You can even try having someone write it for you with a fancy pen from a stationary store if you have terrible handwriting skills. Don’t neglect presentation.
  3. Pretend You Forgot and Order In – This is a nice one that I’d like to try out sometime. Just plain pretend you forgot, but make sure she’s over your place. Then have everything from flowers, a letter, chocolate, meal, and even movie all come to the door. Have her answer so she starts to get the hang of it. She’ll be pouting pretty hard at first so stay calm and don’t ruin it with your dumb attitude.
  4. Flowers – There’s a reason this tradition hasn’t died out. It still works. Don’t ask me why, but it just does. No need to reinvent the wheel on this one. Again, I’d try to be unique to show some extra thought.
  5. Ice Skating in Unique Place – Yes, I know – this one is overdone your thinking and it will be busy. Well, that’s because you’re probably only thinking about one of two skating rinks in the city. Did you know Brooklyn has a really nice skating rink in Prospect Park that opened late last year? Queens also has a nice skating rink. And there are many others throughout the burrows. Do a little research and you might be surprised at how many skating rinks there are around. Don’t get too stuck on Manhattan. These places might not be as full as the Rockefeller Skating Rink. Think outside of the box and you won’t have to spend an arm and a leg unless you want to of course.

That “How to Get over your Ex” Article You were Just Reading is Dumb. This One is Better

So she dumped you.  Stop being a pansy and MAN-UP! Now, I recognize you haven’t done that yet which is why you’re reading this article so I’ve got three great ways to get even with your ex for breaking your heart.

#1 Mail her Glitter

Chances are she likes glitter anyway so you’re actually doing something really sweet! It’s just that the glitter will be wrapped in paper left to wander about where it will. She’ll be cleaning it out of her apartment for weeks! Hehehehehehe.

#2 Print out her picture and…

make a dart board out of it.  Blast Hall and Oates: “She’s Gone” on full volume for best effect. Tears may be a side effect for less manly men. Ignore them and keep flinging darts. Acknowledge feelings? Pffft that’s for wusses.

#3 Become Super Ripped

Remember all the times she gave those subtle jabs about your gut? You pretended not to care, but you were silently crying inside? Well, get the ultimate revenge and get super jacked so you can strut your stuff on the beach. Then you can imagine how she’ll be all lusting after you when you post you’re jacked abs on Instagram and Facebook, then she’ll DM you and she’ll be all like “I’m so sorry, I was wrong blah, blah, blah” …THEN you can be like “I’m sorry I’ve moved on” HA!

All of the above is the advice you should take, but there are some of you who will probably think this is a ridiculous list – taken from a man with the emotional age of a 5 year old. Well, to you sir I say “that’s what you are, but what am I?” However, because I’m a nice guy, I’ve prepared a list for the less manly among you so that you can have something too. Besides, I have to look out for all my peeps.

Alternate Top 3

#1 Fun activities

Don’t hang in the house all day. Hang out with your boys, or even some lady friends. It will help you to talk through some of the emotional baggage you may be hanging on to. If you’re not manly enough to stuff your emotions away the right way, then you may as well express them to people who pretend to care.

#2 Self Reflection

This one is dangerous so proceed with caution. Thinking through your past actions may have harmful results like remorse, and may in some serious cases cause you to empathize with others. Yes, even your ex. You may even want to, dare I say it…apologize for past jerk-like behavior. Again, this is the route for suckers who can’t be a man and stay the course.

#3 Respect Her Choice

Now if you had been doing this in the first place, you probably wouldn’t be here reading this article now. That said, you’ve got to recognize that the choice to move on without you is hers and hers alone. You’ve got to accept this like a man. It’ll sting for a little bit, but if it makes you feel better, just remember – she’s making a terrible mistake. You’re right and she’s wrong and you’re the best man she’ll ever have even if she disagrees. Now doesn’t that feel better?

The Three Cs

Hello my name is Ms. S, I am 28(again) and I reside in NY.  I am an average girl with an above average ability to formulate an opinion on just about anything.  If you put me in a room with anything or anybody, I can yup form an opinion,  What can I say it’s a gift and for you lucky readers out there I have been given the opportunity to share my opinion on what is Manly about the Man.  So let’s get started.  My task is not to convince, degrade, penalize nor preach but simply give it as I see it. So take the sense from the non-sense and you just might understand what’s Manly-about a Man…. well in my opinion at least…….

 

The three C’s

So I was at work the other day speaking with a co-worker, the conversation somehow turned to dating and she started to speak of past experiences, she laughed, she cried it was moving truly but then she spoke about the importance of the three C’s.  Intrigued, I stated “Elaborate”, she stated you don’t know the three C’s?  “No” I stated genuinely interested now, “what are they”? “Car, Crib and Credit”, I laughed because I didn’t expect her to say crib and she chuckled but only slightly. “I don’t date anyone with out it”. She stated that she and her other girlfriends felt the same way.  I thought about what she said

‘The three C’s’ was not a new idea, women have been preaching it since the Women’s lib movement backfired.  Yup, I said backfired but that is a topic for another time. Were was I , oh yes the three C’s – so this was not a new concept yet it seems to rear it’s head in so many generations of women who are looking and dating Men, why?

And here’s my opinion ….

Because the relevance of men being providers has not, nor will it ever change. ALL -that’s right I said it – All are still looking for security; looking for men to prove that they can provide when it comes to joining their lives romantically to women.  It has been proven over and over. It’s just that society, lazy men, over-zealous women, etc… are trying to change this natural role. I can already here you “So the fact that as a man I may want her to share in paying for something makes a man lazy?  Well let me think about it umm… “Yes”.

 

You wanna know what’s Manly about a Man? Providing. Showing me you have somewhere to put me when you wanna sex me. Something to put me in when you need to show me off, and being able to buy the damn ring when you realize what you have.

Pouring A Pint For Charity

 

Winner Jovis Depognon

This past week, Gunness along with the Leary Foundation hosted an event to help out local Fire Fighters get more equipment to make sure they have the most up to date equipment available for fighting fires. Usually not my thing since I don’t drink (yeah, yeah I’ve heard all the jokes before) but it was cool hanging out with folks at the event. Boomer and Carton where there talking trash and to my surprise a black fire-fighter by the name of Jovis Depognon from Engine 40 at Lincoln Center won the illustrious prize. It was $1,000 donated in his name to his Engine House for pouring the perfect Guinness Pint. I figured I’d post this feel-good story for St. Patty’s. Check images below.

Watch Samsung’s Galaxy S4 Event In All It’s Awkward Glory!

To be honest, I was glad Samsung decided to something different and I want to congratulate them for doing that. I’m really glad they, as a company, dare to be different when it comes to their media strategy. However, there were definitely some hits and misses with the live performance which you can watch in it’s entirety below. Skip ahead to the 40 min mark to start.

I thought the dancing kid was great, and exhibited a ton of skill. I liked how they used him in the first portion to demonstrate some of the camera functionality. However, there were some really weird parts like the banter between the announcer and his female counter part.

All in all, I felt like they pulled it off fairly well and it was a good idea to introduce each feature in a fun way. The script just needed a little tweaking in my opinion.
