Do boys ever wax, pluck, shave or wear makeup?

Do boys ever wax, pluck or shave their legs/arms/eyebrows or wear makeup like girls do? Glossy Girl, VIC.

Dear Glossy Girl

How dare you! How dare you suggest that we, the men, the mighty, would ever, EVER, resort to something so effeminate and "girly" as plucking or makeuping! Shame on you madam.

No, just kidding. Actually some guys do shave or wax their legs or arms regularly. Some dudes even get Brazilians (gross). In fact, every guy I know has experimented with shaving their legs at least once.

I personally have no choice but to pluck my eyebrows. There, I said it! Look away - I'm hideous! *weeping*

Seriously though, if I didn't pluck the hair that grows between my eyebrows I would have a mono brow and look like animal from the Muppets.

And men have actually begun wearing makeup, or as they like to call it "Mancup." Dudes are even using handbags (aka Manbags) and extended heels (aka Small Man Syndrome Aides).

Why would guys do this you ask? Same reason girls do; to get the opposite sex to notice them. How would I ever get anywhere with the ladies if I had a massive monobrow? Not very far, I can tell you.

PS. The GF staffers made me put in this link to a video of Pete Wentz putting on eyeliner. Sorry, I meant "guyliner".
