A NEW FACE ON THE MANSCAPE — by Steve Nadis

A friend of mine (a noted blogger whose pen name–as opposed to blogging name–is “Malcolm”) was given some advice by a cousin after entering the dating game after being married for more than 20 years. Women these days, he was told, expect a guy to be presentable, and by that he meant they should be “manscaped,” which in turn means that hairs in certain private areas ought to be properly coiffed. It sounded like something straight out of Seinfeld, and if Seinfeld were still on the air today, we definitely would have seen an episode devoted to this. Only the term manscaping–although new to me, an innocent who has no idea what’s going on in the world of fashion–is already overused and passe’. I’d like to propose its replacement, which will–with your help–quickly surpass the original: “the manly trim.”

    Makes me think of a term my sister used when she was helping me buy shoes–”gay-not-gay.”

    Hey GM — I think I get it, though I’m not sure. Though I’m not sure I get the thing I was writing about either… –S

    Forget the hair, I just want a man who knows how to dress properly. Repeat after me: jeans and sweatshirts are not proper attire for a first (or any) date!!

    Thanks for the advice OR. I hope single males in the audience will take heed.

    And thanks for your note too, GM. I’m pretty sure that my barber would be pleased also…

    Snake, Honey,

    Your blog has stooped to a new low. Who even knew blogs could stoop. And your friend Malcolm should have his mouth washed out with soap.

    O.R.- No need to fancily coif one’s hair in “certain private areas” on a 1st date… yes?

    Hi M.P. — I believe that question has already been asked & answered. And yes, Ma, sorry. Whenever people think we can stoop no lower, Call Me Snake finds a way to surprise… –S
