Comments on: The Price of Being a Metrosexual Male is Going Up http://www.twirlit.com/2009/11/02/the-price-of-being-a-metrosexual-male-is-going-up/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:39:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kendra Gilbert http://www.twirlit.com/2009/11/02/the-price-of-being-a-metrosexual-male-is-going-up/comment-page-1/#comment-7191 Kendra Gilbert Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:43:11 +0000 http://www.twirlit.com/?p=27061#comment-7191 Hey, A.K., Yes, the entire article is my opinion. So, feel free to disagree (as you obviously do!). But, please notice that I make a point to say that both sexes should tone down excessive beauty regimens, which you also mention in your comment about the article. Maybe my opinion is sexist, but I did mention that I knew it would come off that way. So, I'm not trying to pretend it's not. My issue is with extreme beauty regimens, which I find to be vain. Not with daily face washing and moisturizing! Again, as I said in the post, good hygiene in both sexes is a plus. Thanks for your comment! I appreciate the open discussion. Kendra Hey, A.K.,

It's vain for men to use anti-aging creams that probably don't work, but it's OK for women to spend their money on such stuff? You know that Twirlit has done reviews and giveaways involving anti-aging regimes, yes? I'm glad you like your men rugged and wrinkly, but unless this is just your opinion (or maybe even if it is), your article seems really sexist. Personally, I don't think anyone needs dubious anti-aging products, but at the same time, if my guy wants to moisturize, more power to him. Soft, moisturized skin is a turn-on - rough, dry, wrinkly skin is not (unless you are 50, then maybe the wrinkles can stay). I don't think the fact that a guy uses moisturizer or *gasp* a mud mask or serum means he's any less a guy. When people make fun of men for using skincare products, it simply shames more of them into not taking care of their skin in a healthy, human way. Wow, there’s a lot of hypocrisy here.
