Male grooming

[Lord Buckethead]

My missus admitted recently that she was shocked when she first saw that I keep downstairs tidy. Apparently she's only ever been with guys that don't tidy up so either she has a fairly low bodycount or manscaping is for the more refined gentlemen like myself.

Perhaps she's only been out with men who live in bungalows before?

I'm a man. As such I'm too busy actually doing stuff to look in a mirror. Grooming is vanity is self obsession is not doing stuff to better others.

I wash when I stink a bit obviously - preferably before

Socrates would potentially disagree as he found beauty to be a moral good. There's also the idea that love first comes from an erotic attraction and that love is an inherent good.

In otherwords, Plato and Socrates would say you're not only smelly and shabby looking, but also potentially therefore morally defunct.

A daily shower, and deodorize.

A shave, and a splash of Tabac when needed.

Anything else , seems very Metrosexual.

Those two were a good pair of lads, but they didn't necessarily get everything right.

I shower once a day, sometimes I get a haircut.

I see you read my undergrad dissertation 'Plato and Socrates: A Good Pair Of Lads Who Needed To Give Their Heads A Wobble'

22 stone?!?

I kid, I kid. I weigh less than I did 20 years ago, though probably more than in 1976 as I was only 2.

13 stone 10lb. You are younger than my youngest daughter who was born in 1971 and is 50 the week after next!

Your missus is a saint...

I doubt any of our missus are with us for our looks.

Relationships based on appearances dont last.

There's a difference between "looks" and being a bit smelly.

I see yes, fair point.

I model my exercise regimen, grooming and skincare routine on Patrick Bateman. Never had any complaints.

And also NHS budgets would be under a lot less strain if everyone in this country made more of an effort to lose weight and get fit.

Once a year there should be a visit from the fat inspectorate and if you can't fit into the same jeans you had 20yrs ago then pay a £1,000 fine to the NHS. The next year double that fine and so on..

Show me the cost of a shopping trolley full of a week's worth of good, healthy and natural food and do the same with a trolley full of unhealthy items and compare the cost. They won't be comparable at all.

That's why sugar tax etc. is a load of crap. The increased tax is never used to subsidise healthy food.
