Cause for concern?!

Will

Arsing about in work I came across an article while flicking through one of the free papers we get. The headlines read "Irish males are 'secret groomers'".

"Irish men may not like being called 'metrosexual' but a new survey shows they care a lot about their grooming habits - they just hide it well. The survey from Gillette reported that Irish men are the most secretive groomers in Europe, paying close attention to their appearance but concealing their routines for fear of seeming vain. They are also the most concerned about removing nasal hair out of the 12 European nations studied."

It continues on for another few lines. :mad::mad:

Anyway brothers, what can we do to remedy this situation? Try stop it at the root of the problem? i.e the young fellas.

Where did it go wrong?! Are we the older generation to blame?

I for one don't believe this accusation...

It might depend on what other people consider grooming,
Sure plucking out long nose hairs is considered grooming by some
and other's know it just makes so you don't get stray long dangly hairs in the head of your stout when you go to drink it.

The three S's are all that are required for grooming.

QFT. I trim my nose hair. I don't consider this grooming, rather it is a practical solution to prevent snot-encrusted hair from getting into the head of my pint.

I would be more concerned about getting me ear lobe hair triimmed .;)

You could always just plait it.

I also trim my nose-hair. And by trim I of course mean pull them out forcibly with my thumb and forefinger in full view of everyone I work with. To the untrained eye it looks like I'm picking my nose, esp when I eat the result directly afterwards.

Quoted for truth!!

I'm of the same belief. SSS, throw on some clothes, its all good

pffft I cut my own hair and grab whatever is clean(ish) from the wardrobe. In any case why should a brother be accused of any kind of ...sexual just because he doesn't look like utter crap? I say no Sirs. A peacock has the word cock in it for a damn good reason lads...

Plait it? It is like steel cable. I need an angle grinder to trim it.

Why is nasal hair a problem (it's fookin disgustin, and obstructs cleaning the nose) - if it was my arms or chest, that'd be a different story.

Maybe Irish men have the hairiest noses in europe?

I got a special drain installed and a mirror on my shower wall so I can do all three at once, five minutes in there and you are good for the day

Hold on. I've seen you. You have a beard and long hair, which makes you a hippy, therefore you rarely wash and unless that drain has a very fine matrix, you run the risk of falling in.

I call shenanigans on you sir !

And if your not leaving the house the clothes become optional!

Would you like to invoke the rule of pics or it didn't happen?

Think carefully before you answer brother

*thinks ... considers likelihood of orestes having shower pics, and being willing to foist them in public*

*time passes*

*thinks again*

I have me doubts

Unless your mates are around!

Will

depends whether they are wimmins or not

Seth Brundle

Can a man have female friends? Surely wimmin cannot be friends in the same way that people men can because you think of them sexually (unless they are dogs!)

Will

nah not really, just girls he's not fcuked yet

a windmill never goes astray though

Cormic

While I can see both sides of this argument. I agree that the morning routine should be SSS but I will admit to certain trimmings that I perform every so often.

However any man who exfoliants is not a man. He is a girl without the fun bits.
