somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy, somewhere just beyond my reach there's somone reaching back to me. i need a hero.

it always kind of shocks me when guys get all excited and act shocked when they find out a girl shaves to resemble a prepubescent ten year old.

why is this so shocking? i really doubt any woman is walking around sporting a seventies retro bush and thinking she is hot shit because of it. in fact, most women groom in some way shape or form..whether it be bald, landing strip, designer shapes, letters, dying certian parts or whatever. we suffer through it.

why?

because the fundamental difference between men and woman is that while men could give two shits about what women want and what society dictates down to them (metrosexuality excluded, y'all snorted that up like crack fiends at a "congrats on finishing rehab" party). all men really care about is their comfort...and if comfort dictates a girl floss while simultaneously going down..then, who the fuck cares? he doesn't itch between shaving, he doesn't have to worry about knicking his balls, and he still gets to cum...so what's it to him?

women on the other hand take everything to heart. we sit there and find out how to be perfect for you...and with that we shave over three quarters of our body regularly, primp, preen, buy clothes (and if we're dating someone, we buy them thinking of what he will like), moisturize, nair, wax, pluck, exfoliate, boost this, push up that, flatten whatever, and even contemplate plastic surgery....all so we can have you look at us with adoration.

fucked up no?

i'm not saying that guys don't take the time to groom and make themselves all purdy for us women. i know a lot of guys that do...even though i can pretty much say with certainty they engage in these things because they know it ups the chances of them getting pussy. it's pretty much common knowledge that women are more apt to let no drop go to waste if she's not pulling hair out of her mouth ever few minutes...and if a guy smells good and dresses well and has soft skin..well, that's just delish.

but women do it not because it gets them more dick, but because it's what guys like. it's what society has screamed at us....and rather than think "fuck it, i'm comfortable as an amazon women in sweats" we go absolutely fucking insane and do some painful shit to ourselves to acquiesce and conform.

yea, shaving? fine if you can go the twice a week route..but stubble isn't allowed..and razor burn hurts...especially in the poot area. plucking? not horrible, until you get the one hair that just makes your eye turn into fucking niagra falls for a half hour. make-up? i absolutely love it..but nothing pisses me off more than a guy who says i wear too much make-up because i wear dark eyeliner and oogles the chick who has so much foundation on it's like a second skin--a discolored second skin at that. fashion is absolute bullshit..and i'm just praising allah that skin tight is out and flowy tunic shit is in. and i'll spare you the shit that accompanies having hair that doesn't resemble a rats nest...but let me just say, aluminum foil is not fun.

so why is that? why do men just shrug it off and say "whatever" if it disrupts their normal day-to-day and comfort, and why do women go absolutely balls out on every imaginable front regardless of their comfort and day-to-day and without so much as batting an eyelash or thinking it's weird that they're sitting there on a table on all fours and pretty much spread eagle in a reverse sense while some strange lady applies hot wax and rips out all their pubes...while a guy can't even manage to trim? why do women constantly agonize over their weight and size, while guys wear their beer bellies with a pride that is just uncharacterizable?

why do women enslave themselves to be perfect, while men couldn't give more of a shit if they are wearing white socks with black shoes?

and yes boys...that is a major faux pas.

Breaking my back just to know your name. ok ok sorry listening to some music. Let me just say that I decide to shave down their a little while back and its comfortable *winks* LOL

Anyways it is nothing compared to all the stuff that you ladies go through. I for one GREATLY appreciate it :)

Anonymous said...

Why do women do all that stuff? Well...it's like I've always said..women just ain't right. They're all crazy-fied.

HuneeB said...

I tell you more men would get blown if they groomed!

hint...hint...hint

Oh and I do it for me, not for them, I do what I am comfortable with :)

yournamehere said...

Most of the time, the guy pays for dinner. Does that make up for all of the extra grooming? No. No it does not. You have my sympathies.

sassinak said...

i don't get it either elle... why do we buy into this media driven shit?

DZER said...

ummm ... cuz chicks are suckers? and men rule the world? LOL

KJ said...

I love this blog...........you tell them Buttah

flounder said...

Simply put, men are too busy taking care of business to deal with all that bullshit. We won't waste our time, our money or our effort on things of that nature.

Sure, we will shave and do the basics of male grooming, but moisturizer and waxing are for chicks, metrosexuals and gay men.

We appreciate your efforts, though.

So true.

When the Israelis and Palestinians stop fighting, the answers to mysteries like these will surface....

God, I'm such a girl. Thanks for pointing it out to me. All the stuff you say guys don't do? I do. I blame my father for being uninvolved during my formative years.

Scumbag said...

you need to get expressed written consent from the wedding party before using the term "purdy".


same goes for "beezo".

let that be an fyi for all of you.

sassinak said...

vlad: never underestimate the power of grooming. i've had men i wasn't into turn around and wow me simply by clothing choice

I think girls do it because of competition. You don't want to be the only girl with a bramble-bush down there, do ya?

And we get all excited about it because anything that has to do with that part of you gets us excited.

And as far as guys grooming...we do it if we have to. But I don't care to know if some other dude does it as well.

Everything Nice said...

Competition? As if we stand side by side and say "HEY, My bush looks better...."

or even

"She's got shag but I've got hardwoods... PICK ME!!!"

heh. I just totally snorted.

Honestly I do it because my privates are public... k, no that didn't sound right.

I primp because sometimes I have to do a photo shoot or attend a clothing optional party.

Sometimes Id rather be the amazon woman in sweats though, Im just not tall enough.

Anyway, truly spoken like a champ.... and my husband thanks you for pointing out that while he can spend 5 minutes in the shower grooming, I spend 25....

and he appreciates it when I do it, if he stops appreciating he get's sandpaper legs... heh!

Daniel said...

Wah, wah. As if guys in this day and age with any game whatsoever aren't groomed and presentable.

God,what kind of dives are you into, Buttah?

DeepItalianEyes said...

Great and Valid Points you make, but I think you read way to many articles in your magazine. I am told I am a "metrosexual", I dont care what other people think, I do what I do to make my self Happy. Im sorry that women think that they have to be "Perfect". Truth of the matter is no one is Perfect, regardless of how much they have, what they shave or dont shave, how much they weigh, what they wear. Self Esteem, a pretty smile and a good heart are all that is needed in my mind to attract the kind of person I'm interested in. Forgive me if Im misunderstanding your point of view. Persoanlly, and I dont know you other than what I have read and seen in your blog, I think alot of men would be attracted to you. You have this BITCHY attitude about you that I like, it may not be for everyone but some man such as my self find that an attractive quality. I love a woman with "balls" so to speak. I dont want a woman thats going to bow down to my every request, want or need. I like fiestiness. Love you reading your point of views. Will be sure to toast you this weekend with KJ and the rest of her crew. Have a great day and I will stop back later.

Daniel said...

Uh, so my computer froze and fucked up there, Buttah Boobs. I'm now typing on another computer.

Anyway, in answer to your question: it's hard to comment on an entry that has depth and emotion.It's much easier to just be all "fuck yeah" and "you go girl". When you pour your heart out, it's hard to say anything in response that would do it justice. Yeah?

Ok, speak soon.

Natalia said...

Ummm I don't do the brazilian or the landing strip. I am fairly natural. I just trim. And my BF likes natural. Maybe I am just lucky.

RobynB said...

I do the wax thing. I can totally relate to the one hair that makes you cry like a baby.

My eyes water just thinking of it.

Yea, yea I know. I'm such a girl.

Timmy said...

I loved the comment about "more men [getting] blown if they groomed"...silly commenter, we wouldn't be men if we groomed...
Is the whole grooming thing a ridiculous double-standard? Yes.
Something that's likely to change? No.

Johnny Menace said...
