Grooming: Trust me Every Man needs It!!

Taking a shower is just not enough.  Ladies raise your hand if you have been on a date with Mr. hair growing out of his nose or ears?  How about Mr. eyebrows growing together?  Gentlemen this is not appealing.  On a daily basis, look into a mirror.  Take a moment to trim the nose hair and ear hair.  Pluck or go to a salon and get your eyebrows waxed so that that it doesn't look like you have a large furry catapiller growing above your eyes.

Take a shower with soap and shampoo and what the heck how about a little conditioner?  By the way if you are lucky enough to bring a date home it looks good if you have a shampoo that cost more than $3 a gallon in your bathroom.

After the shower brush your hair and again look in the mirror.  Hair products can help!  You may find that a little mousse or hairspray can help manage your hair.  Use a good deodorant.  For those of you a little more advanced moisturize your face.  It really is good for everyone's skin and it will help you look younger longer.

Cologne, like all good things is great in moderation.  First this is a good place to spend a little more.  Stetson and Old Spice are not an aphrodisiac.  Also you do not need to swim in it.  Not long ago I was swimming laps in a public pool.  A man walked outside to the pool area.  I was at least 12 feet away from him and was smacked in the face with his cologne.  Wow.  The really sad thing is that even after he got into the pool and began to swim, two lanes away from me, I could still smell him.  Macy's recommends and wisely I might add, one or two sprays on the chest or one on the chest and one mid back is best.

Manicures and pedicures are not just for women.  Not the word man in manicure.  This is not something that has to be weekly or even monthly but is a nice added grooming measure when you want to impress.  This can also be a relaxing 40 minutes for you and possibly a way to meet women.  Most nail salons now have special manicures for men.  Pedicures are impressive in that they don't get notice.  This is what you want.  Look at your naked feet.  if you have uneven, gaged nails or rough try heals you and you've got that crucial date comming up run don't walk to the nearest nail salon.

Back hair is generally not found attractive.  This is one of these areas where I feel sorry for men who are particulary hair men.  Let's face it, waxing is painful!!!  Having said that the truth is that this is a questionable area.  On one side a smooth back is generally more attractive.  One the other there is something to be said for being honest about who you are including your appearance.  This is especially true if you don't intend to or for some reason, including adversion to extreem pain, intend on maintaining a smooth back.  Gentlemen many women wax their legs and other sensative areas routinely subjecting themselves to this pain for the sake of beauty.  Even shaving has it drawbacks and can be time consuming.  So what this boils down to is this is a desicion that you will have to make for yourself.
