Mansome

Earlier this week I watched a documentary called "Mansome." It's all about men and how they get pretty for the opposite sex. The men in this documentary wax their eyebrows, backs and chest. They do this because the want to look and feel better about themselves and in turn boost self esteem which I can only assume gives them the ability to muster up the nerve to talk to a beautiful women. There was a guy that had a long red beard that went down to his waist line. It was full, thick and shiny. It made me sick just looking at it but there was a woman in the film that couldn't keep her hands off of it.

Are looks really that important to men? Or is self-esteem the issue? Maybe men do these things because they enjoy it. Women are just as bad. We pay big bucks for manicures, pedicures and facials. Let's not forget all the waxing we do ourselves. I have a friend that spends over a hundred dollars every other month to get her hair styled in just the right way.
If you are single you are trying to attract the prettiest person in the room and if you are married you are trying to keep the prettiest person you've found. But what happened to beauty being in the eye of the beholder?
 
It's amazing to me how someone will pass up the opportunity to meet a wonderful person if they do not find them sexually attractive. I always tell my single friend that there is someone out there for everyone. If Honey Boo boo's mom has a someone special in her life then there is someone out there for everyone and we all have hope. In spanish it's called "buscando tu media naranja" looking for your other half, or the other half of your orange. Does it really matter in the end if you wax your back or chest or if you dye your hair the perfect color? Your other half is out there somewhere and they will love you just the way you are.

I think the important thing is to be yourself and to be happy with yourself. If manscapping is your thing more power to you. If you need to spend over a hundred dollars to get your hair just right then spend that money. Just make sure you spend just as much  time looking around for your other half as you do looking in the mirror.

Cheers,
