Eyebrows!

This weekend I found out that there are certain things in this modern society that can still strike me and make me wonder about my mind openness and acceptance.

Without trying to insult anyone, just want to write about my feelings on masculine facial hair. Let me start by saying that I am not your ‘typical’ female who would spend lost of money in facial products, such as cleaners, toners, exfoliate products, etc., etc. on the contrary I’m pretty low maintenance when it comes to that. As for my facial hair, well it is annoying and I try to keep up with the depilatory time for my own liking but I accept that it might be a little awkward for me to face a situation of dating someone who will take care of his face too much to the degree of having his eyebrows much more nicely shaped than me. I tend to love hairy man (to a certain degree – perfect example: Pete Sampras!). So, I would probably rapidly qualify this as way too much vanity and narcissism on my book. It would take some time for the concept to grow on me if it ever did.

In trying to prove to myself that I’m able to consider and to learn more about the facial vanity phenomenon on men, I started web searching for the definition of ‘METROSEXUAL’ . I had the gut feeling that the this relatively new concept could be the one to blame on this whole eyebrow issue; and indeed as I continue reading about it I’m able to understand and to blame vanity of this cultural shock. I guess now I have to question myself as to really why seeing a man who ‘manscapes’ his eyebrows evokes so much awkwardness on me. Is it because it’s just a new concept? Or is it because I’m envious of men who possess the vanity I lack? – got to think about it a little more. In the mean time, I will continue entertaining myself reading more about ‘metrosexuals’
