Well, I just checked all of Tom's pictures again (very closely), and I can't find a damned thing wrong with him..he's on all of my lists. To each his own, because Costner does nothing for me in the hunka, hunka burning love department. Good actor though.

There's more and more men nowadays shaving their legs, waxing their chests and eyebrows, now even wearing make up on a daily basis. I saw on a morning talk show this guy who used make up every morning just like a woman, because it evened out his skin tone and made him look healthier. I think more and more men are becoming more feminine...I like a man with chest hair (and a pair). :hair: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...-increasing-pressure-beautify-themselves.html

I've seen men that get manicures with a clear polish and it looks funny to me. LOL!

I see this development as strictly a product of successful mental manipulation through brilliant product marketing. First women, now men. Advertising subtling shaping our society, our lives to want what is being sold.

Back in the mid sixties: remember how the Beatlemania swept the U.S., influencing clothing and hair styles? Nothing's changed, except that with the internet and social media and all the bots and AIs, our innermost impulse tenancies are being exploited by retailers and sellers of all types.
 
It makes as much sense as styling hair to look like the person just rolled out of bed and those hair jobs belong to women as well. Neck & face tattoos look ridiculous. At awards shows women are a half step from being topless. Some folks don't give a hoot about how they look when they go shopping as some look like they are in the pajamas. More or less masculine? Five day beards are everywhere. Apparently there are no rules bout appearance now.
 
I am reminded of some of the pictures of seventeenth and eighteenth century gentlemen. Shoes with high heels, satin breeches, very tight, white stockings, embroidered jackets, often covered in lace. (Every colour under the rainbow.) Wigs, powdered or not. Etc. These gentlemen were certainly very manly, many fought duels as a matter of honour. Times change.

I didn't think this was Johann's real hair......... :)

"The real men aren't all gone yu knows!". :). (I saw one the other day!)

My father, (who was recognised as fitting the description I believe), used to go on about my grandfathers times, "When men were men!", and physical work was probably much harder still, my grandfather growing a third of an acre of potatoes, all done by hand, then taken a bag of them on his bicycle to the local station and on to the nearest town to sell.
 
Hmmmm..........I may look a bit like the 'Yeti' with all my hair, especially when I'm under the shower, when the hair on my napper, my chest, all around my 'crown jewels' and everywhere else points south with the force of the water. No 'pretty-boy' soaps for me, just wire wool and a blow-lamp. ;) 😊

That's true, and he regularly oiled himself up and watched himself pose in mirrors. He also spent a lot of time hanging around sweaty men in posing trunks.

Hmmm ... now you've made me question reality once again ... :playful:



Okay - John Wayne. NOBODY can say John Wayne was a girly-boy.

... even though his first name was Marion ...

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! :sorrow:

I'm not so sure about the "Duke".
 
One thing ya need to remember . Many of the Hollywood set are queer. I mean think back to high school, most of those guys in [what did they call it ?] drama class ? Those dudes were a-tad odd to me. And they were likely the ones that went on to try and catch fame & glory on the stage..............jmo
 
When the pandemic started, I was running really short on razor refills. We did not want to go to Krogers to get new refills with the potential exposure to Covid-19. For 46 years of marriage my wife never wanted me to start a beard, wanted no part of it, but now her solution was" why don't you let it grow until this is over"!
I did let it grow into a full beard, neatly shaved around the neck to just a profile. Now the Wife wants no part of me shaving it off, which is much to my surprise. I keep it short to about 1/4" and although slightly salt and pepper, it matches my hair color.
My wife likes the beard and most seem to, except my Mother-in-law, she hates it! My 2 year old niece, that my mother in law babysits, calls me "Fuzzy". I'm thinking the mother in law may have helped with that title, but most lie it.
