This question has existed as long as articles and posts have been made for men . Are you supposed to manscape? Well definitively the answer is, maybe. Before you lash out, let me say there is a good reason. It always has and always will boil down to preference. In the 70's men and women everywhere were sporting George H.W, George W, and Jeb's as far as the eye could see. For those of you that might be in your earlier teen years, imagine your front hedges, but every weekend no one comes to trim them. For those of you in older generations, the baby seal look is popular right now.
The issue lies in that times change, with times changing preferences do with it. However, preferences don't make a certain style right or wrong. Manscaping doesn't necessarily have to come down to trimming or "shaping" things up. Manscaping first and foremost is about cleanliness. It doesn't matter what you rock, as long as you, and in certain cases your partner, feel comfortable with it. If you are walking around in your twenties as hairy as Cat Stevens, more power to you. If you are walking around in your fifties as smooth as newborn gazelle, again, more power to you.
Here's some shocking information, you know your body better than anyone else. Truly surprising I know, but after laying that huge bomb on you, let me discuss this just a bit further. Rock what you want to, again as long as it's clean. No one in their right mind is going to judge you for what makes you comfortable. But for an example we'll say you end up hooking up with somebody super judgmental. They decide that it would be funny for them to point at your pubic region and laugh before or after your deed. Maybe I'll get into bedroom, do's and don'ts in the future, but for now, if the laugh isn't mutual within the bedroom, there's a good chance you are a douche.
You liked this person a lot or maybe it was just a one night thing, regardless you find them laughing at you. There are multiple solutions to this scenario, make fun back, try and have sex regardless, or own it. I think y'all know which one is correct but I'll break each down quickly.
Your first thought might be to pass the comment by, and have sex regardless. If it's a one night thing, sure this option could be fine. Hell, maybe you are mind blowing in bed and leave them begging for more, only to shut them down for their earlier comments. It depends on how much you value this person or the night with this person. Option two might be taking their insults one step further and insulting them harshly. Maybe in this case you go after their appearance or their weight. To be completely honest with you, there isn't anything wrong with defending yourself, in fact I encourage it. They lit the fire and now you are keeping it burning. But as much as I'd like you to fight back, which will be another post coming later tonight, the third option defines what it means to be a man well.
Own it and leave. Again, that'll be a future post which I am really looking forward to writing but for now we'll wrap this up neatly. I can't tell you the countless time that I've been giving my friends shit or they've been firing back and somebody just agrees. How are you supposed to insult somebody that's agreeing with your insult? With the third option, you take the high road, they have no ammunition left to attack you, and they get denied a fun night. All because they weren't mature enough to appreciate the Bob Ross, abstract art, or fresh satin looks.
In addition to washing up and manscaping, don't forget to WashYourAss
