Men's Thoughts On Female Grooming Habits

Thoughts From Guys On Our IM: Female Grooming Habits

This weekend, when I was in Atlantic City, one of my fellow ragers asked me if she could borrow my tweezers so she could pluck a nipple hair. A nipple hair? She had nipple hair? “Yeah, don’t you?” I honestly didn’t know. She also said she waxed above her lip. Crap, I’ve never waxed my lip. Have I been walking around with a ‘stache for years and no one has ever told me and that’s why I can’t get a rebound to save my life right now?!

On last nights episode of “The Hills” the female ‘stache came back to haunt me—Lauren Conrad had a very obvious dusting of facial fuzz about her lip. If Lauren Conrad has a mustache I must have it too. This morning, the grooming obsession continued when I discovered a horrendous ingrown hair bump, um, you know where. Eww. Maybe I should start listening to the lady mags and actually wax from now on. Especially since I am about to jump back into the dating pool—with that in mind, I decided to ask the dudes on my IM about what they look for, grooming-wise, in a bed mate. I didn’t tell them about my ingrown hair though. I’m hoping it’s gone by the time I sleep with any of them.

for a quick hook up, i think there is a lot of slack, i mean, im not ready, and i am a little self conscience about down there, but i just go with it.

but nipple hair, upper lip hair, leg hair, and pubic hair must appear that it was tended to recently, if its all gone mad, thats MY deal breaker.

I so hate how sexist I get about this, but here goes:

No surprises when you lift your arms. I don’t care how hot a woman is, if she waves and there’s shag under there, it’s over.

Down “there”: I’m not too particular, but there needs to be some attention paid. Trim the hedges, have fun with shapes if you want. Going retro is unsightly though, and wood floors freak me out; I have no attraction to underage girls.

Legs depend on the type of hair. If you’re a peach fuzzy sort of girl that can be kinda cute. If it’s dark and thick then it must go. I am cool with a little stubble; if I can go a couple days without shaving then I’m cool with you doing it too.

‘stache? Same as leg hair - soft, light fuzz is fine; noticeable from a distance is not. Frida didn’t do it for me.

Now, if you normally pluck those errant hairs that pop up in odd places (nipples, etc.) and one is starting to grow in I am fine with that, but once you can get a good grip on it with tweezers it’s gotta go.

Let the hate begin!
