WAX! WAX! WAX!

Recently I have read an article on the webpage: http://www.livestrong.com/article/68312-beauty-treatments-men/ Where they talk about beauty treatments for men and how they are becoming more and more popular because men start to realize that their appearance is very important. Again we must ask where did it all began? Once upon a time John (our model for this story) woke up at 9am, went to take a shower, looked at his legs and realized that they are too hairy and that hair is not sexy. He realized that he would feel more attractive if his legs were smooth to the touch so he shaved them. He looked in the mirror and realized that his skin is not clear enough so he should get a facial treatment or even better he should go to Sephora and buy a foundation. Oh, wait! He actually can use that of his girlfriend:) What about those wrinkles on his forehead maybe he should go for another botox session. Maybe his eyelashes aren't enough remarkable so he should have them dyed black so that his eyes would pop out more. By 12 o'clock he was finally satisfied and went out with his friends for a beer to tell them everything about his new fascinating experience. Enough, enough! Girls ,would a man that has his eyebrows plucked out, no wrinkles, who uses your foundation and when you touch his legs and hands you are intimidated because they are more smother than yours seem attractive to you? Maybe a lot of you haven't known till now but the treatments that women get in beauty salons are becoming more and more popular between men, whether it is waxing or applying botox. Why is that, do you think that really one man in this case John has started it all? No I don't think so it's the media the media started to critise men for their looks and behaviour. Putting forward that men should care about themselves more because that's the way it should be and women desire such men. In the end after reading the 10 last issues of a popular magazine where it was repeated again and again, women started to believe that this is the way it should be, this is the standard. They started to pressure on their partners forcing them to behave in such a way maybe they didn't want their men to wax their legs but they certainly wanted them to care about themselves more. What has happened is the "Falling snowball effect". However this whole ideal has evolved from pornography as there men are nearly perfect they are shaved in all places, they have muscles and their bodies are so shiny. In the end this is the same pressure that women are under, because women are told that they should have a nice body preferably big boobs, longs legs, big lips, long hair and big eyes and to achieve this ideal they also started to go for different beauty procedures the same way as men are doing now.  However is this what we really want? Yes, every woman wants a nice smelling man but not every woman wants to share her wax and foundation with her partner. In my opinion it is all about the products, money and marketing as the millions of beauty products for women are not enough, now men should also buy numerous amounts of products that will help them look "more" beautiful. It's all about giving more money to the state.
