You mention “good smell” to a man and immediately he thinks of some super pretty boy in the mirror taking five hours to apply his “look” for the day. This stereotype leads to guys thinking that it is okay to “smell like a man”, ie: smelling like cheap cologne, sweat, or old lotion. The following paragraphs are a primer for these men in the ways of smelling good without taking a hit to your masculinity. Take it from me; these items work and you will be very pleased with the result. So what should a macho guy get in order to smell sexy for the ladies? Cologne As a man choosing your cologne wisely can make or break your ensemble when you’re out on the dating scene.

In the macho camp there is an ongoing argument as to whether dancing makes a man look gay or not. Whether this is important means absolutely nothing, being that we have many of these such arguments within the man culture and they have been the basis of many so called man laws that seem more to reflect a frat boy sort of mentality than a gentleman. Some of the most macho men have danced; some of our idyllic fictional macho men would dance. I think of Dos Equis’ mascot, The Most Interesting Man In The World, and with as much adventuring and traveling that he has done, to have him not dance just doesn’t seem right, now does it?

There was a time when men going to the spa was considered a gay activity, so I can understand where the man’s man would want to argue the validity of him laying in a chair with someone rubbing his feet. However, lately, there has been an influx of men who go to the spa to the point that they now make up about a third of the spa population. The places to go are no longer catered to women where the man feels out of place, but they have gender neutral atmospheres and special treatments just for him. MANicures As a woman with soft skin, being touched by a man with callused hands definitely does not feel as good as it should.  I love a hard worker just as much as the next woman, but hard workers can take care of their hands just like the next man.  The manicure is simply a treatment for… [Read more]
