The newest threat to man is not terrorism, biological warfare, or lack of flu vaccine. It is the false assumption that men and women differ solely in their plumbing. Caused by workplace gender equilibrium a new sensitive man, a.k.a. the metro-sexual, has been born. While some may say that its good for men to show their more feminine side, a line must be drawn immediately as to how far our society pushes this ideal. A simple Google search for male makeup reveals that it may already be too late. Thats right, there are already people profiting on the sale and distribution of makeup for men. One of the largest companies 4VOO in cooperation with websites like egentlemen.com broadcast the idea that men should wear makeup. They project that men are just as self conscious as women and that in time they will learn to accept themselves. From face and body bronzer to lash and brow styling glaze to luminous lips, these companies are indoctrinating men to believe that this is what they need to be attractive. Recently 4VOO introduced a line called confidence corrector and slapped the slogan distinct men have the attitude to their product line. What the #@$% is happening to our country and our society? This is utterly wrong. Men and women are different creatures that are hardwired quite differently. Imagine me spending the night at my best friends house only to find him applying makeup to a scratch he got mountain biking yesterday, so that he will look aesthetically appealing. What ever happened to chicks dig scars? Something must be done to stop this misconception before my school board is voting on whether guys can wear makeup at school, instead of just earrings and facial hair.
I could not live with a man that spent more time in the mirror than I do.
That eliminates me I guess. LOL
I'd make an exception on the account of O'Reilly.
hehehehe :)
I just don't want O'Reilly to think he's a ladies man. :P LOL
LOL!!!!
There's hair coloring for guys. It doesn't take much to look spiffed and coiffed these days. With the disappearance of dangerous physical labor, men for the first time in history can afford to show their soft side while still remaining wholly masculine.
Male Ego, meet Femanine Vanity.

I would tend to agree.
I keep seeing TV ads for hair removal products for men. Not only are we to remove facial hair, but remove unsightly hair from our back, chest, arms, and legs too. They seem to have temporarily given up on making men carry purses and wear skirts (NY style kilts).
Theres something I havent figured out yet.
The new anchor on NBC - Brian Williams appears to have a permanent look of concern. Every time I look at him I wonder if he has had his eyebrows surgically altered or trimmed with makeup or if he just spent a lot of time in front of a mirror perfecting that look.
Gosh, I don't know, I get kinda choked up just thinking about it all *sniff*
Keeping and eye on this one...
I like a man that is clean, but not -please, Lord, never, ever-GIRLY!! Icky, icky, icky.
Mr. Ex has a shaved head, but a nice goatee...that's a MAN, baby! :)
He'll be very concerned until he gets a democrat in the White House.
