		<description><![CDATA[I am trying to utilize Ben&#039;s virtues in my life and I am particularly concerned about cleanliness. I agree that many people think being a man is getting wasted-drunk, sitting on the couch watching football with crumbs, and beer cans lying all over the place. That is NOT I repeat, NOT the art of manliness. True men keep themselves clean, and are not slobs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;a href=&#039;#comment-2670&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Joe Ossenmacher-Bedford&lt;/a&gt; - The idea is to *not* &quot;cram&quot; the q-tip in your ear. 

Its purpose is to use it more as a &quot;swab&quot;, no less as you would around an open sore. 

If you&#039;re worried about cramming more wax into your head, use a kleenex or tissue, twisted up into a point. That way, it&#039;s a a softer &amp; more gentle way of keeping your hearing crystal. 


Cheers! =)

		<description><![CDATA[I agree in principle but must differ in part.

I pluck my eyebrows.  Not to a finely contoured line like women, but I remove the ridiculous strays.  For you see, a solid line of brow hair diverts the sweat from my forehead far better than a sparse forest covering my forehead.

Consider also that it was custom for a Samurai of feudal Japan to shave his forehead every morning.  A custom of the time, but I think it is a reasonable thing to take from.  Besides, theres no reason to have super bushy eyebrows unless you have been hunting bears or terrorists for months on end, in either case it is required.

Shaving between eyebrows is imprecise and a bad idea.  Pluck that trash, it will look far manlier.  Well groomed hair makes you look like a stud.  Overgroomed hair makes you look more androgynous than is attractive.

As said, Q-tipping the ear is a medically unsound practice.  If you have a lot of problems, drop some mineral oil in to soften it and irrigate with a water syringe or a morning swim.  By the same token, trim, don&#039;t pluck, nose and ear hair.  You have hair there for good reasons.

And last but not least, smelling like a man.  It&#039;s true that most women find the smell of a a man who has just finished building a footbridge over the creek for the neighborhood children incredibly sexy, but that&#039;s not the same as wearing soiled shirts.  An honest sweat combined with the lingering smell of soap/deodorant (that you should be wearing) should be the norm after any exertion, unless of course you have been hunting terrorists or wrangling cattle.  Trim your armpit hair to a reasonable length and it will cut down on the stench too.]]></description>

I have a bold unibrow and been told to shave it. I am feeling fine and try to ignore some of smiles I get from some people. I do not see any reason behind having seperated eye brows.

Ironically, my name is also Sean and I use the same logic.]]></description>
