In today's society there are a few good men who get their eyebrows done along with mani and pedi............. My girlfriend BF is always in the nail shop before she is......lol I honestly think that's a problem but i'm not with him of course i know....but she complains to me but never says a word to him about it. Now she tells me when he showers he uses her bath products b/c he wants his skin to be soft, she also tells me stories about how he tells her she shaves her legs wrong (yes he shaves his EVERYTHING)..............Is this too much? Do you think she needs to address this issue she has or just break up with him? I don't have any advice for her b/c I know she cares about him but I really don't think he cares about anyone more than his scheduled mani and pedi.......

MY skin is very sensitive and I would much rather be handled etc by a man with soft hands and care for nails then rough what we consider manly hands. The man you describe seems to be a little to involved with his personal grooming, however you don't really give enough info to make a judgment.

mmmmm, i think this guy is really vain! for me, grooming is really important to anybody...but i think that guy is too much...are you sure he's a man? hehehe i have seen men who do pedicure and manicure...my friend's husband is also like that, in fact he uses so many creams coz he wants his face and skin to be soft and smooth but that's it! no eyebrows done, no shaving... but if i were your friend , i ill be more observant, and cautious... if those things are just natural to him and it does not affect the relationship...then its ok, but if it goes beyond...you know what i mean... i think they should talk about it... i wish goodluck to your friend...

it is dependent on what she is thinking. she is comfortable or not.If not, she should talk with the bF clearly. I think its too much of him.

I think you are thinking way too far ahead here! In todays society we are encouraged to strive for the perfect look - and that goes for men too. My hubby doesn't get mani's and pedi's but does clipper his chest hair and shave a couple of places too. He uses face cream daily to keep his skin looking good and his hands are soft too through using cream. Also as any woman will know - it is an excellent way to relax and wind down in the stress of every day life.

okay if you shave your face and eyebrows, because a uni brow is not sexy at all, but your legs an stuff too? And he uses women products? No, that guy has issues!

Okay..If I was your friend, I would def. ask him WHY he does this..to see what his opinion is on it. He def. sounds like he cares more about himself then anyone..which isn't good if shes looking for a committed relationship. It's really not manly at all.. not from my point of view anyways.
