The feminization of men?

[food]

It used to be that women, and women only, pierced their ears, wore moisturizers with tint in them, painted their nails, wore skirts, and got waxed. More and more men are now doing this and it is considered acceptable.

My question to the forum. What do you think will be the next "feminine" thing that men will do and will be considered acceptable by the majority of society?

KEEP IT CLEAN! No references to anything in the "nether regions" will be allowed - I am sure the mods would close this thread as a result.

My thought? Makeup, and not just subtle makeup either.

Your thoughts?

I don&#39;t think i can think of anything men could do unless i had a period there&#39;s nothing else ... except well around here if you have long hair you get the shit kicked out of you .. and get steriotyped so whatever <_<

Well the issue here is cultural and related to the fashion industry. A lot of what happens in America and Australia follows what is happening in Paris, Rome, and London (and other EU cities). Australia tends to follow EU as well as America, but does some own inovation.

With skin care products, I beleive that started in france and then spread. Shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, brought such issues into the foreground for a wider american audience.

Mags like GQ and so forth bring fashion to the masses in our cultures, and it ends up being what the next trend is.

Not sure if makeup will ever be a hit for men, mainly because of the time required to do it. The majority of men will not spend inordanate amounts of time on self care for hair or skin or apperance. This is obvious by how long men spend in hair stylists, the amount of time they spend shopping for clothes, the amount of time they spend in the bathroom grooming.

Also music influences the dress and tastes of the young, just look at gansta rap... sad seeing all those idiots walking with hoods in the heat over here in sunny queensland.

As to what is next? hmmm, its a tough call. makeup is an obvious one, but i doubt if it will ever take, i think skin care will start to become big with the mainstream. specialy as we have an aging population in the western societies and the men will be increasingly aware of wrinkles, skin blemishes and so forth.

just incase you didn&#39;t know food...ear piercings aren&#39;t &#39;feminine&#39;...guys had ear piercings before women...ancient egyptians to be exact.

Besides i paint my nails black, have 00 gauge earrings, and occasionally wear hot pink eye shadow (not very often). does this make me feminine? No. next time i&#39;d say get your shit straight before you make a post like this.

i&#39;d say moisturizers as well will become mainstream for some guys...

I have a feeling that this thread was meant to be concerning Wester cultures. As far as I know, Egypt isn&#39;t a Western Culture.


Personally, I don&#39;t do any of these sorts of things. I&#39;m traditional when it comes to being a man. I can&#39;t really say what will come next however, as I&#39;m still laughing at the morons I see with piercings and eye shadow.

To tell you the truth, he has a point. It may not be femenine now to wear earings, paint your fingernails, etc. But think back in the day, people would have considered all that stuff girly.

So, do you think that makeup will be accepted next? Don&#39;t attack the poor dude... jesus.

There is no right and wrong in a free society, no stupid and smart.
if you think you make the right choice its going to be the right choice regardless of what other people think.
