The Men`s Beauty
Sunday, February 24th, 2008 | Humour & Stuff
Men are often complaining about women who are spending eternities in the bathroom painting their face to go out for dinner, shopping, making sports, bring the post in or the garbage out! No doubt – women love it to paint their faces in different colours and to comb their hair and try another new hairstyle ending up with a nervous collapse and the usual ponytail. But that won`t be the subject of this post! I`ll show you how much more interesting is the special attitude of Today`s men towards their looks and their vanity.
The new generation of men is reading style magazin`s, buying anti-age creams, shopping with the best friend and join a Sports&Wellness Studio. How comes? Is it normal?
Of course it`s the effect of the marketing strategy of the cosmetics and textile industry as well. But women played a much more decisive role then it might seem! Yes, women helped to rediscover the Men`s Beauty, which had been lost during the centuries!
The Beauty of men and women had a prominent rank in the ancient world. The Greeks idolized the mental as well as the physical beauty. Their bathing rituals for example contained, besides a solid epillation, body massages, vapour-baths and a cosmetics care afterwards. Usually men went to a Therme to meet friends and business partner. By now Today`s men are very similar to the old Greek men … Some of them already caught up with women in terms of style and looks! Sometimes I feel really uncomfortable if a (hetero) good looking man with twitched eyeborows is sniffing new perfumes at a perfumery! But haven`t it been the women who nagged about their untended men over years and years? “You don`t have any taste at anything! You look disastrous! Go and shave your face! Cut your hair! Is it your single T-Shirt (trousers, shoes, shorts…) ?!!!” I think every women can identify with it!
But now look! The New Generation of modern Men starts a counterstrike against all these accusations and prejudices! They are shaving away every body hair, pre-dating their hair-dresser appointments, reading style-magazines to catch up with the new spring-collection and even visiting cooking courses to please their girl-friend (wife)!
Actually women should be satisfied by now and be happy with their perfect styled men! Sorry guys – as for me, I miss sometimes your masculine flavour, your uncumbed long hair and you confused glance in a clothes store! I don`t mind if you stay as you are!
Man is man!

Very Funny! 
But I was relived to read this ant the end:
“Sorry guys – as for me, I miss sometimes your masculine flavour, your uncombed long hair and you confused glance in a clothes store! I don`t mind if you stay as you are!”
Huh, it means I can stay unshaved and masculine 
I don’t think you can compare a handsome guy with a beautiful woman directly. If you review the classic gentleman style, which becomes more and more seldom, You understand what I mean. Shean Connery didn’t twich his eyeborows and didn’t shave his body. I mean men’s beauty is not anchored on same criteria as women’s. Smartness, intelligence, humor, tactfullness, courage makes a man sexy and handsome. Of course, there are some norms of human appearance, like being fresh washed, clean clothed and cared, but this applies to both genders. I think the most important beauty is the menthal and internal. I’m every time disappointed about such a beauty, slimy boy, that has this women’s beauty and misses simply man’s characteristics.
Next time take my picture, not that from Antonio Banderas…
I didn`t compare women and men : ) I just wanted to point out that some men become more and more like women and this type of men does not attract me…
It`s a play with words! You just can`t say “a man is beautiful” 
It`s always “it`s a handsome man” or something like that…. So thats exactly the point! A gentleman is handsome…That could be probably YOU But a Man of the New Generation isn`t! Thats two diffrent things!
Send me a similar pic like Antonio`s and I`ll replace it
