And also, a pill that would make your hair stop growing once you got a really expensive haircut and it's finally grown out exactly the way you want it.

And while we're at it, I want a pill that prevents facial hair so I don't have to shave anymore. I loathe shaving, even worse than having to use nail clippers.

Maybe this is all just a passive-aggressive way of saying I'd kind of like to revert to a state of nature and just let everything grow out and eat tree bark and mark my territory with my pee.

But mainly, I just wish there was a pill to make my toenails quit growing.

Anyone else annoyed with having to groom? Come on, be honest. But don't quit grooming, because that would, sadly, be nasty.

I don't know about clipping and snipping my hair and nails, but the mods who end up having to snip aweful thread like this must get pretty annoyed.

That's the absolute worst!

I admire your resolve to not let me jack this thread.


Personally, I hate shaving my face the most. I can't grow a beard like JerseyKRS--my beard is patchy and skuzzy looking. I look truly aweful with facial hair... So why should I grow any hair at all? It pisses me off I have to shave becuase even if I let it all grow out, it's nasty looking.

male grooming...

Anx = the next Howard Hughes? (excepted alot poorer)

i hate cutting my fingernails so i just let them grow out until it becomes difficult for me to take out my contacts.

it works because i'm a girl and people just think that i have these pretty long nails, but in reality i'm just lazy. i really admire mid-length nails.

it's not as bad as when a man has big ol' frito chip fingernails!

littlemissG said:

oh, hardly. i adore germs. i lick doorknobs when nobody's looking, just in hopes of catching a few good microbes.

I abhor shaving. If I could get away with not I would.

:out:

i totally just threw up in my mouth and swallowed it again.

SammiJ said:

aww man! that makes me want to just plain ol' vomit!

CarrieMpls said:

I've never really minded shaving and never EVER cut myself. My daddy taught me right.

SammiJ said:

i don't understand why some men let their nails grow. it feels dirty. unless my fingernails are cut so short that they're bleeding a little bit, i feel unkempt.

JasmineFire said:

sorry!

Anx said:

fingernails AND toenails
i will not tolerate talons in bed!

GangstaFam said:

i never cut myself. little tiny mini-nicks sometimes i guess, but i've never ever cut myself badly. i don't think anyone taught me how to shave...i just remember razors and shaving cream in my christmas stocking one year, and i eventually had to figure it out. i think i don't get cut because i have skin like tire rubber.

SammiJ said:

OH! OH! getting cut on the ankle by a ratchety uncut toenail is SKANKTROCIOUS. UGH! UGH! BLARGGGH!!!!!


hate that.

Anx said:

a nicely manicured male hand is okay but when the nail starts to grow past the actual finger, it's a bit weird.

this one of the reasons why i'm glad i'm a girl. unkepmt nails are socially acceptable for the womenfolk.

Anx said:

I don't even remember the last time I nicked myself.

And you don't look THAT synthetic.

My girlfriend screamed in horror at my "shoulder" hair. She was all "ewwwww thats disgusting". I dont have to shave it off or anything, but u know, she says its rough and for once I agree'd with her.

Anx said:

WORD OF THE YEAR!!!!!

GangstaFam said:

that's because you only see me when i'm all gussied up.

Oh, shaving is the worst.

Though, I'd take the anti-nail-growth pill too. I never used to mind doing my nails, but now that I'm shaggin' a girl regularly, I have to keep 'em super short, so it feels like I'm dealing with them constantly. Sucks.

Yeah, grooming:

Anx said:

Is that like a wax bust of Stockard Channing and Elizabeth Taylor's lovechild?

GangstaFam said:

it's the fashion doll head i never had as a child.

actually, you know what, i need a courtney love fashion doll head. if someone made one and put it on eBay, i'd bid my personal net worth (which, okay, ain't much) to own that sucker.

No wonder you hate grooming! If you had that thing, it'd be your favorite activity. You'd be a regular beautician!

GangstaFam said:

Where was I when he was handing out shaving advice?

GangstaFam said:

i don't understand why a fashion doll head needs glitter gloves. she has no hands.
