I decided earlier today that I will get a manicure when my fingernails grow out; when I clip them they end up uneven, and I will inevitably start gnawing at them because of it-so perhaps getting it done by a professional will ensure an even cut and prevent this bad habit. I just got out of a shower, during which I shaved my armpits and afterward applied scented skin lotion to my face. Now I am sitting here watching cooking shows for recipes and drinking wine because hard liquors upset my stomach anymore. ... I am either really metro or am having some sort of Dr. Jeckyll/Mrs. Hyde thing going on.

If you haven't already, you should go ahead and shave your legs. Makes life much better.

I've used lotion on my face and shaved my pits for eons, I don't see the issue.

I was worried it was going to be something like "Part of me fell off in the shower".

I never understood the want in Western society for males to be hairless. Because most males who have body hair don't take care of it and it looks gross. That's why seeing a naked/half-naked hairy guy is often played for laughs in TV and movies. Body hair is okay as long as it's well groomed.

Make motherf***ing topiary? You are talking about beauty which is subjective. Because, lord knows the first thing I do after seeing an attractive someone is remark how maintained their eyebrows are. I spend the whole first date scoping to see if their pits are landscaped. The joke about male nudity is that the male form, overall, isn't as aesthetically pleasing. Though, generally the people who form the punchline are schlubby people. I mean, Kathy Bates was used for that joke in About Schmidt. Had nothing to do with her status as an Alaskan bush pilot. I mean, if you want to get into the psychology of it lack of body hair ties to youth as well as being less in men. Depending on the culture in can also represent animalistic nature. This ties into television and movies as well, far more accurately than your example (again the male body as comedy is generally tied the punchline person being generally unattractive, not just fuzzy). Heck, let's use wrestling. Heel turns necessitate chest hair, after all.

I don't understand the want in society for women to be hairless either, although I'm conditioned to agree with it as an aesthetic and to follow it in my own grooming. But since hairless = prepubescent, it is seriously creepy when you think about it.

I never understood the want in Western society for males to be hairless. I have never noticed a popular urge for hairless males in Western society. It's usually portrayed as weird, feminine, or overly vain. However, my point is that somebody who apparently doesn't like armpit hair probably wouldn't like other body hair either. If they enjoy hairless armpits, then logically general hairlessness would be just as pleasing. I'm like that. Can't stand body hair on myself. I don't really have a philosophy on other guys. They can do whatever the heck they want. I don't care. I'm just glad my wife enjoys and encourages it. When we first met, I was unjustly terrified that she was going to see my legs and kick me to the curb.

God I love how thread topics can totally veer off on these forums.
I made the OP as a joke, really. I don't consider myself particularly effeminate, but there are just those moments, such as then, where I stop and think "Could I be any more metro?" To give some detail: I have a habit of chewing my nails that goes all the way back to my childhood. I've tried to break it and just clip them, but lately I find that I tend to clip them rather uneven, and when I notice this I start rubbing my fingers together, which then leads to picking at my nails, which finally leads to chewing on them. I am hoping that maybe if I get a manicure and get them clipped by a professional they will be even and I will be less tempted to start doing this. As for the armpits thing...lets just say the distribution of hair over my body is rather odd. I have an incredibly thick head of hair, I am the only member of my immediate family who both grows a five o-clock shadow AND can grow a full chin strap from one side of my head to the other, I have practically no hair on my arms, chest, or back, and have legs like a gorilla because they are so hairy. The same applies to my pits-when I used to let the hair grow it ended up growing out several inches long. Finally I said "okay this is gross" and started shaving if off. And no, I do not use the same razor under my arms that I use on my face.

Bro, I used to bite my nails for ~25 years. One day about two & a half years ago I just decided to stop. I HATE having to cut them now. Sometimes when they get a little long, I'll get one caught, or scratch myself, or some other weird shit I'm sure happens but can't remember. I often think what the point is, but then I realize my finger tips no longer look like they've been dipped in acid.

I could go the Howard Hughes route and keep all my nail clippings in mason jars so no one gets a chance to clone me...

I've shaved my armpits a few times. One, they get itchy, and two, it makes applying deodorant easier.

I shave my entire body (legs included), I haven't stood to pee in years, I've learned basic ballet steps off YouTube, I can twerk better than your girlfriend, and my favorite artists include Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Fifth Harmony, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Avril Lavigne, Fergie, and Katy Perry. In other words, join the club
