Do guys still think waxing is "girly?"

[Azami]

I've been wanting to get my face waxed as I just don't like having facial hair. I asked my mom if I can get waxed and she wasn't opposed to the idea but my dad say no because I'm a guy.

They actually are. At least smart enough to acknowledge problems the prevoius generations ignored but they're still far from the brighest lightbulbs at the discount bin we call humanity.

Clever, but intelligent? That's very generous. I prefer to metaphor them with a half-baked cake. They exist, but they're far from ideal. Boomers didn't have smart phones, and neither did they use that tool of near infinite knowledge to instead reaffirm bias on social media platforms, instead of learning what the hell they so proudly proclaim as truth, actually is.

So caught up in emotions, they turn against their fellow man for a mere ideology. That's what I'm seeing, at least. The numbers for social media groups and websites all but confirm it, and foolish laws supported by a younger generation. There comes a time when I can no longer blame it on the parents, but rather the ignorance of the youth themselves.

I honestly don't think waxing is very healthy for your skin as a man if you do this every other day.
I stick to the shaving as I really like shaving, especially traditionally. Nothing more relaxing than preparing myself for a shave and then shave with my turkish shaving knife.
Shaving can actually be a very relaxing experience if you know how to do it and take your time for it. + I get the closest shaves ever.

Besides, I would not rip out my bear hair, its insane.

I think whoever told you waxing is girly is an ignorant

Oh well, probably the result of boomers not adapting to modern times...

NGL i'm so glad the last of them are dying out and the new generations are actually smart enough to see through their b.s.

The last boomers and their kids slowly dying out with their old world views. They really were the most entitled and selfish generation and still are (plus those left alive still following their views).

If their views stayed we'd probably keep the same problems we have and if not make them worse.



Tbh waxing and shaving and self care has been a thing since before daily showering was a thing.
Even then the first person / people to shower constantly probably got told off alot. Happened with everything from toilet paper to mustache combs to eventually waxing and having little to no body / facial hair.

Has nothing to do with old world views most people will always think that way and waxing isn’t really a thing guys do that’s why most of them won’t change that views.You are dying as well could be tomorrow or in a few years doesn’t matter and abother one will also think his views are ^^modern^^ doesn’t mean it’s actually better or actually ^^modern^^

Native American indians including mayas and inkas did pull out their facial hair one by one. Especially for warriors this was seen as a prove of manlyhood and resistance as it was painful.

Whatever applies today and here is not what applied always and everywhere.

Yeah, it's pretty feminine.

[Jej]

No, I think it hurts like a ♥♥♥♥♥

I've never seen an ad for a men's face waxing product. So there might be a good reason for that. And I don't see ads for men's leg waxing either(not common products like for women). Not where I live at least.

So to answer the question "Do guys still think waxing is girly".. I would say society in general thinks waxing is more feminine, considering the marketing of waxing and shaving products.

Personally I don't care what others do, but I would research other methods I wasn't familiar with before using them.

Gotta add the word "still", like it's somehow always been that way.

I don't know about Mayans but I remember watching a documentary about something in India. Apparently, in the poor parts/ slums of India, there will be poor barbers on the street offering their services. But since they didn't own any tools they relies on actually PULLING the hair off.

Also fire haircuts are a thing in India.

>inb4 guys will say it's manlier to burn off hair than to pull out hair.

Don't wax your beard OP, thats about the worst thing you could do. First, its beard hair not normal hair. It has bigger roots and is thick like wire. Second, and more importantly, you'll get ingrown beard hairs and those are very painful.

If you don't want the hair, get laser treatment. And I don't recommend that either because you may want your beard later in life (if you're young).

For the current situation, I'd just shave and consider laser hair removal later.

I was just discussing it with my mom. She doesn't seem to mind but she is worried as it is painful. Some people here said don't wax, so I might as well use facial cream removal i guess?

You can, but test a spot on your body with the stuff first before applying it to your face.

My friend was telling me this messed up story about her and her boyfriend, they were playing with nair (sp?) and she used it between her legs and he used it on his butt. They both had an allergic reaction to the stuff and both had to go to the hospital, though it was quite funny because they were in the same room to get treated, one bent over a table and one with her legs open rashes everywhere.

So yeah, spot test on your leg or something I doubt you'd want a face full of rash.
