Guys across the nation have taken on an unnecessary chore, one that their fathers before them never underwent. Our generation’s pressure from society to ‘wack the weeds’ has grown from a simply suggestion, to a bedroom commandment.
Research shows that American women prefer their man to be“trimmed” when asked about their preference, which is fair. However, trimmed infers that all landscaping in that particular territory should be done with scissors,not with Gillette’s newest gadget or accessory. A couple of articles have referenced the scene in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle as guidelines and reasonings as to why to undergo the process in the first place. But what they’ve failed to point out is that Kumar is using scissors and only scissors.
It seems as if the general public doesn’t know where to stand of the subject of men’s pubic hair. It’s as if we now have two conflicting styles that are colliding as one generation is shuffled out of the bars, nightclubs, Daytona International Speedway, or anywhere else one might get lucky and the next generation is stepping up to the plate. On one hand we see companies like Gillette squeezing dollar after dollar out of this shaving epidemic by using popular female actresses, including Kate Upton to stress the importance of a bald eagle. On the other hand, the marketing champions at Dos Equis are putting their beer on the map by poking fun of“manscaping”.
Nowadays, men not only have to shave their face every day, now there’s another area to maintain, leaving their ‘cash n prizes’ under construction on a day to day regimen. If somehow, some way, the guys of our generation could come together to boycott the blade we’d find ourselves with a little more time on our hands and a lot less ingrown hairs. So unless you’re worried about getting snagged up in the zipper of your Tap Out shorts (Do TapOut shorts have zippers?) prohibit the Proglide past the neck.
All it would take would take is a guy like J.F.K. or Christian Bale or Peyton Manning to let the world know, “I let em rage.”
And the world will follow
