Grooming For The Ladies
5 Comments Published by Alex April 25th, 2007 in Grooming, Relationships. Share ThisAnd it’s back to Men’s Health once again, as they’ve posted a list of seven—count’em, seven!—grooming tips for men as suggested by women. Which is to say, if you pay attention to these areas and do just what they suggest, you’ll be that much less disgusting to them. Because, y’know, men are nasty. Would you kiss you? I didn’t think so.
Of course, it does seem to be a thinly-veiled product placement pitch, as nearly every item on their agenda comes with a link to a consumer toiletry product, but really, what doesn’t these days?
That said, the second item on their list was kind of a surprise:
Mega-Minty Breath
Gargle 5 seconds before you show up and we’ll worry you’re hiding halitosis. Schedule a mouthwash buffer of 20 minutes so the flavor wears off a bit.
So wait…it’s possible for breath to be too fresh? Odd.

I’m not sure I agree with any of it, except maybe the neck stubble. Then again I’m a dyke, so what do I know? I will say though, when I did date dudes, I appreciated super-fresh breath and scented deoderant. At you know they’re trying.
I’ve never talked about it with my girlfriends, but I agree. Gargle just before you show up and I’ll think you’ve been drinking or smoking.
This was more then just product placement… it was downright advertising. That said… OK ideas, just seemed too much fluff.
Brush your lips with a toothbrush?
“No… no man, shit, no man, I believe you’d get your ass kicked saying something like that man.”
Sorry, but I don’t trust Men’s Health. Mostly because their models don’t have ANY body hair. And that’s just weird.
