Men should not look pretty...

So really when did men decide they need to look pretty. I just don't get it. I am not delving in to orientation here. I really just don't give a damn  if you are  hetro, metro, homo, bi, tri, hyper, trans, sans, or whatever kind of orientation you live.

I am talking about short shorts, Tight pants, Five gallons of hair product, Manscaping. Manicuring, Pedicuring, Exfoliation kind of living. Maybe I missed the memo or maybe I choose to ignore it. I am sure we could eliminate our dependence on foreign oil simply by cutting male hair product usage by fifty percent. I still subscribe to what I suppose is the out dated belief that the bathroom is reserved for the three s's. Ok.and teeth brushing as well. If I have to define that for you I won’t figure it out. If you can’t you are probably already doomed.

Here are some simple rules for men to follow regarding this topic.  Violation could result in having your man card revoked.

-If hair grows there leave it. The face is an exception since it is just so much fun to annoy your wife with different facial hair trimmings.

-If you need more than a dime size amount of hair stuff or it takes more than 30 seconds yes that is all that is allowed then your hair is either too long or you are really just working too hard.

-Sandals and Jeans…No.

-Clothes should be loose, form fitting means you need a bigger size

Men should be handsome or good looking, not pretty. The second question to ask is why do females find this appealling. Since when did words like rugged, manly, and  tough get substituted with metro and sensitive.

Maybe much like other things it is a societal pressure. Just like air brushed magazines telling females what they should look like effect their perceptions of themselves,  they are also being told what they should find appealling.

 I plan on raising my kids with my old fashioned beliefs that men should behave, act, and look like men.  I still believe that deep down women deserve and ultimately will discover that the man they should seek is strong both mentally and morally, posses physical and mental toughness. The only fashion advice a male should be able to give their spouse or girlfriend is that they look nice and not how to color coordinate.  They should also not share hair tips or products.  Let’s hope this is just another trend that will loose ground and fade away, and not the continued wussification of our males
