Man up!

A few days ago I was watching TV and this show came on. It was supposedly a show for 'men' . Once the weird host started talking I couldn't help gaping at the screen. The episode had a theme, The Beatles, obviously.. So far it's going alright, though the relevance was very close to zero. It started with 'men fashion' (italics, underlined, and between quotation marks). The guy put on a picture of an Armani suit, a pair of Gucci shoes, a Rolex watch.. Etc etc. and then began giving tips related to suits such as stripes should go here and there and the chest and waist should be - hold on a second.. The WAIST?
Do they even realize they have one? Let alone acknowledge it?

I looove seeing nicely dressed women and men. I secretly want to take a photo of each one and keep it! They make my day. Especially men, because to be honest you don't see a man with good taste very often :P but there's a difference between good taste with low maintenance and obsession.

So no, you can't complain that you look fat. Hair mousse? I love chocolate mousse! You can't say the word 'shopping' referring to an activity you want or are about to do - unless it is food shopping. Blow dryers are unacceptable. You don't recognize fashionistas and models. Plucking your eyebrows is waaaay off the line. Face mask is something you see women put on their faces on TV and makes you laugh. You don't change your clothes a couple of times before you leave your house, and you can't spend more than 30 seconds combing your hair.

I think men would be better off wearing a sweater with bleach stains (yes I'm referring to the one and only Ted Mosby) and an old pair of Converse. Trust me, taking too much time and too much effort gives the opposite results, plus it shows! So please stop caring so much and leave that job to us. It's in our blood and we do it much better.
