What Shouldn’t I Shave?

By Francis W. Porretto
Francis W. Porretto avatar

Doug Giles has a delightful column at Townhall.com today, which celebrates the "passing," at least in American womanhood's mind, of the much-hyped "metrosexual male." It's a good companion piece to Kim Du Toit's essay on "The Pussification Of The Western Male."

BUT...

Mr. Giles, for all his points, must remember something about the "Marlboro Man" persona whose return he celebrates: He does what he damned well pleases. So fewer instructions about where to ply the razor -- and by implication, where not to -- would be in order.

  1. Perhaps he went a bit far with the shaving, but the line that got me:

    You take more than two, that’s two, minutes to fix your hair

    Remember the video of John Edwards getting his hair done? Whew! We dodged a bullet there.

  2. Two minutes to do your hair?  Seriously.  I must have hit the jackpot, because my wife doesn’t even take 2 minutes.  Heck, the only people faster with their hair than me are men in the military.

    But still, it’s good to see the metrosexual get back on the metro and leave town.
