I'm curious as we're all in an industry that promotes looking our best, do you like a man that visits the salon to look his best?
I think it's great that these days men can take so much pride in their appearance- from facials, to manicures to spray tans to waxing. However personally, I'd have four kittens and a cow if Mr Happyfeet came home one day telling me he'd booked himself in to the local beauty salon for 2 simple reasons
1) The pressure- how do I keep up with that!? That's not to say I don't take pride in my appearance, because I really do- unless like today when I'm chilling in my pjs, with no make up on, with a mass of were-hair. Christ I would have to knock that on the head if Mr H got all groomed on me now wouldn't I!? But I can't have him looking more presentable than me, I quite like being the nicely coiffured one
2) I would never wish for any poor beauty therapist to have to tackle my husbands bodily hair- of which he has plenty. . . like everywhere! Being a British/Egyptian and having the typical wirey Middle Eastern hair, I pity the poor lass or gent that has to deal with my very own King Kong! He's also a total wimp and can't even take it when I tweeze his ear hair... hang on he is handsome, I'm making him sound a little gruesome he's not, just... a little neglected shall we say.
I once dated a guy who lived up north, I met him on holiday and when he came down to see me he always got a few sunbeds before we met up in London. I used to pull his leg something rotten about it. I asked him why and he told me I'd only ever seen him tanned. I told him not to be so ridiculous, to which he replied, "it's ok for you, you're as white as they come... even when you were on holiday"... the cheek of it!
So geeks, do you love a well groomed man, or like me, do you prefer to be the pretty one?
