<p>how many guys here actually take care of themselves? i mean like make sure their skin is clean, nails don't have dirt in them, they don't smell and just walk out with deodorant on, actually try to look nice when going out?</p>
<p>you know, all that?</p>
<p>i personally find guys that do that attractive lol, some people call guys that do things like that metrosexual, but there's nothing wrong with stepping up your appearance a little bit</p>
<p>so confess if you dare >></p>
<p>I think taking care of oneself has become a standard for guys. I can't imagine most high school aged guys leaving home without at least looking into a mirror. I wash my face, dress well, and smell good, but I'm not "metrosexual," Just not a dog : )</p>
<p>I dont even find this embarrassing as you put it. Why would i "dare" to confess that im a clean person? Of course I put on deodorant, take a shower, etc. I think the majority of women in the world will find clean guys attractive.</p>
<p>(to ehs09)</p>
<p>but you'd be surprised, some guys at my school walk in with the undershirt they woke up wearing in the morning, a drool stain on their collar, a ketchup stain on the back. a black hat whose fabric is wearing out flipped to the side, and faded long shorts that goes down to their knees.</p>
<p>i know only one guy that really goes out of his way to take care of himself in my school..but some think he's bi or gay >></p>
<p>hopefully it IS a standard for guys now though</p>
<p>^ i don't just mean clean, but actually spending time to, in a sense, "refine" some parts. like cleaning your nails, evening them out, all that little refining stuff</p>
<p>I make sure there isn't dirt under my nails, but I don't even them out...</p>
<p>I cut my nails... sometimes. Does that count?</p>
<p>^ speaking of long nails</p>
<p>i shook hands with this one guy while volunteering, and his nails scratched me and left a red mark</p>
<p>ugh, i really hope all guys at least cut their nails frequently</p>
<p>Yeah, I do "refine" myself.
I also workout a lot, I guess thats also a plus. </p>
<p>Some girls urge to ask for my #, so I just give it to them.
My abs are most appealing part of my body....</p>
<p>^ did you just take the chance to show off in this thread?</p>
<p>hahah</p>
<p>No, but in all sternness, my abs are evidently the most appealing from my body.</p>
<p>^Why do I have the feeling that you're lying?</p>
<p>(There is no way you can have a decent social life).</p>
<p>Johnson181, was that last message the online equivalent of pulling pigtails on the playground? </p>
<p>Just kidding haha</p>
<p>Back to the topic: I don't necessarily take out the time to trim my nails so that they're perfect or anything, but if I notice that they're way too long then I'll trim them (I don't usually have to though because I have the bad habit of biting my nails). I shower obsessively, but that's mainly because showers are good stress relievers. I also shave every morning?</p>
<p>Why yes, yes it was.</p>
<p>(I'm starting to think AOM's purpose here is to annoy us all).</p>
<p>^ nice</p>
<p>i didn't know showers were stress relievers? i knew having a hot bath was</p>
<p>that's awesome.</p>
<p>Maybe I'm just weird, but during the school year I take around 3 short showers a day. I guess it makes sense as a stress reliever--everything you do while showering is thoughtless and intuitive. You can go on autopilot and just forget about everything for 10-20 minutes, haha. Plus, you're doing something productive so it's not like you're wasting time outright.</p>
<p>You can go on autopilot</p>
<p>Never thought I would see that word used in a sentence..</p>
<p>Autopilot? Do you speak to many people?</p>
<p>(EDIT: This was in response to ArtOfMind's post just below, but for w/e reason it was placed before it haha)</p>
