I’ll admit it. I’m a man who requires a weekly manscaping.
In my bathroom lives an army of hair trimmers, tweezers, lotions, and shaving creams. I pluck my unibrow (faint as it may be), trim my chest hair, buzz the back of my neck, and now sometimes even parts of my back. I know most of you may be thinking, “What does this have to do with being a Sexy American Boyfriend?” The answer is EVERYTHING.
On a given day, I see at least a dozen or so well dressed men making every effort to look good: wearing clean shirts, a nice suit, gel in the hair. Then they turn around and on the back of their necks are tufts of hair that resemble Brillo. Can someone explain this to me? Because I’m dumbfounded.
Guys, listen. You have a lot of hair on your body; we’re descendents of apes, and some of us more than others. The stuff growing out of the top of your head is not the only area worth paying attention to. Trust me. Women appreciate a well-groomed man. It shows that you take pride in your appearance.
If your only experience in male grooming is a bi-weekly $12 trip to your local barber, here are some tips to get you started.
Frist off, buy a good razor and make it your best friend. I prefer the Gillette Mach 3.
Next, invest in a beard trimmer for all those “other” areas. And for god’s sake, in between haircuts, use it to clean up the back of your neck! (This is bordering on a personal crusade for me. I know. I’m working on it.) Don’t forget to trim the front of the neck too. A clean shaven face next to a dozen rogue chest hairs making their way up your neck is not sexy.
Bare chests are out (I went there. Oh believe me, I went there). The new look is groomed chest hair. Despite what magazine ads would have you believe, most women view chest hair as a sign of virility. So don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Just get it under control.
If you have back hair, lose it. Fast. In my personal estimation, two percent of the female population find back hair attractive and I doubt those are the women you’re after. When it comes to back hair, it should really be waxed. Almost any hair or nail salon will be able to accommodate you. The rooms are private, the technicians are discreet, and it’ll last you around four weeks.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, unless you are Michael Phelps, shave either your arms or legs. This has become a popular look in certain circles. And while it might score you points on the Jersey shore this summer, it will likely alienate you from the majority of the female population.
Lastly, remember to clean up the bathroom after you’re done. Do I need to explain why?
So there you have it, a brief introduction to manscaping to help you get started on your journey. Now get going. Just remember there is a line. Sometimes too much grooming is just too much grooming and may send the wrong message. Where that line exists, I can’t tell you. We all have to find it for ourselves and I guess it all really depends on the type of person you are trying to attract. Figure that out and then you’ll be able to develop your plan of attack when it comes to body hair.
No matter what, if you simply make the effort to stay on top of it, I’m certain you will find the object of your desire very appreciative.
