Afterglide recently had a post along these lines.

You shouldn't have posted that. I felt sick the first time I read it, I feel sick again.
The Afterglide post, Jason? Courtney will be delighted to hear it.
I have had relatively little luck in minnesota finding women who care about grooming.

Jason- I had the same reaction. I"m a little gaggy just thinking about it.

Yep... the afterglide post. Who's Courtney?
Max - I still can't wrap my brain around the fact that Courtney, who appears so sweet and nice, is filled with so much filth. It truly impresses me.

You don't know the half of it.
An interesting article on the history of this issue, in which David Bowman from salon.com observes that in greek sculpture, men are depicted with hair, and women without, appears here.

Re Allies response: the only double standard going on here is the one that lauds women for challenging their gender roles while scorning men who do the same. Women are allowed to choose their degree of hygiene and be hairy and pungent, but if a man even thinks about showing concern for his appearance then he's obviously a lily-livered pussy (pardon the pun, couldn't help myself). Is that right?
Look at your last paragraph. If a man had written, "Chicks are supposed to be demure little flowers that shop, gossip about celebrities, and don't sweat at all," wouldn't that cause a bit of a stir?

pf boy- I wouldn't say having your junk waxed makes you a pussy. Just doesn't float my boat, is all.
Oh, and wayne, what would constitute "lack of grooming?"
Also, nowhere in my post did I say that women should lack hygiene, I merely stated that the presence of pubic hair does not equal "Eww, gross! She's UNCLEAN!"
I'm perplexed by one aspect of the hair removal... Where does it end?!
Most girls probably don't have an issue with deciding where to 'draw the line,' but don't most guys have hair at least up to their navel? An aesthetician told me last night about waxing backs and how they just choose a spot on the shoulder or elbow to stop, and the same for the top of the butt? That has to look extra weird! No?

Waxing doesn't really offer a gradient option. You take it down to a line, maybe take down a bit less the next time and so forth, but it's not sustainable.
I'm a not-particularly hairy guy who's seen kindergarteners grow better mustaches. I need to be more diligent about grooming in general, though shave my pitiful beard bare if I can help it, I grudgingly do some occasional work downstairs, and have been barberless for a long time (with no offense to Mahogany).
If you know where Eric Snyder is, please let me know. I've had good haircuts since he left Schmidty's/Tommy's/whateverthefuckitisnow, but they're all from his reference quality.

Champs, does Mahogany cut your hair, too? She moved salons, ya know!
Hmm, I've never seen a bare dude. I don't know if I'd be down for that (bum dum ching!). Manscaping is always a bonus, though. Seriously. Trim it up a bit. It's tidy.
As far as I'm concerned, the Brazilian is more of a personal choice. Sure, you may start doing it because a dude you're dating expresses interest in it, but you keep doing it because you like it. It's the same as getting the hair on your head done a certain way because you think it looks good.

Josie, absolutely. I only stopped doing it because I was nearly maimed at a salon about a year and a half ago.

I've been to houses with a minimalist, modern design and liked them just as much as houses I've liked visiting houses that feature lots of decoration. But I've never enjoyed going to a messy house. I don't think it's that much to expect a person expecting visitors to tidy things up a bit.

Aliecat: "I only stopped doing it because I was nearly maimed at a salon about a year and a half ago."
I've heard that can happen at some of these salons. You go expecting Siegfried or Roy and instead you get the tiger.
So if you ever find yourself confronted by the unexpected - Panthera Tigris clumsily holding waxing strips between its enormous paws and advancing towards you - make yourself look as big as possible and start yelling and waving your arms. Tigers are both opportunistic predators and waxers, so if you can convince it you might put up a fight, it may turn tail.
"I wouldn't say having your junk waxed makes you a pussy."
Far from it. Anyone who was willing to subject themselves to what could possibly be classed as a war-crime in less gentle circumstances just to sport the Boys from Brazil must have a well groomed core of steel in my opinion.

Obviously because your husband or wife is paying for you to solve the Riddle of the Sphynx, I expect.

Ha!
