In my experience Yarnlady that description can apply to others as well. Straight men have not cornered the market on attitude. I’ve seen women and gay men act like that, too. Some people are just know it alls.
I think it’s fine for men to be in a nail salon and wish more of them would go. DH picks his nails, too btw. I have to watch what I keep next to his recliner or it may be used if is pocket knife is missing.:ick:
seconded. I even know lesbians who have that type of know-it-all attitude. :teehee:
I think more men, and people in general should get pedi’s more often… feet I’ve seen on some young men/women are just rancid!
Well I think it’s gonna be a no-go for him. He’s just not “into” it and would rather spend the money on something else. So I’m not going to press the issue. Whatever… I’ll go by myself! 
I took my hubby for a pedicure. He was uneasy about it at first, looking around to see who was watching us go in. He carried a “manly” book with him to read. (Some kind of war book) :teehee:
When we got in the chairs, I showed him how to use the controls for heat and massage, and he started to relax.
I was the first one to get my pedicure, then his started soon after. It was good that way, because he could see each procedure being done on my feet, and was able to prepare himself when it happened to him.
When it was over, he said, “Wow, that felt great. I’m definitely adding it to my list, along with getting a haircut every month.” 
Eh, I don’t really care what people do with their feet, as long as they keep them hygienic.
I personally love pedicures, and think everyone should get them because they feel so niiiiiiiice.
Yeah, that’s what I say. I asked DH again this morning and again he kindly said no, so I’m going all by myself tomorrow. :happydance:
He just doesn’t know what he’s missing!
:rollseyes: I think it is silly for a man to wax any part of his body. Funny how your tastes change. As a young girl, I thought hairy men were gross. Til I met my boyfriend. My boyfriend is pretty hairy, and I love it! I’d beat him if he ever considered getting a single hair on his body waxed. I get ticked when he gets his hair cut and they want to trim his eyebrows! I won’t allow it. I love his eyebrows – they are kind of long, dark brown with the longer brows a golden color and they just set off his amber colored eyes perfectly. 
Men waxing… reminds me of the scene from What Women Want when Mel Gibson tests an at home waxing kit on his leg… :roflhard:
What is done when you have a pedicure? My wife gets them every once in a while.:think:
I grew up in a family of men with really long eyebrows and they don’t trim them. The hairs get a little wild at times, but us gals get to smooth them into place. My SO has them too, but he trims them! 
I can’t talk him into just letting them grow.
OTH, I’m really glad he trims his ear and nose hairs! :roflhard::roflhard:

Well, it might be a bit different at each spa, but here’s what they do at mine:
You sit in a massaging chair, and soak your feet in warm soapy water that has water-jets that massage your feet. (I’d be happy with just this part.) :teehee:
Next, they trim your nails, file them, and work on your toenail cuticles. Then, they use a special scrubber to work on your callouses. One foot is still soaking while the other is being worked on, then each foot is placed back in the water after it’s worked on.
Next, they have you dip your feet in hot wax, then cover them with plastic. When the wax gets hard, they remove it, and massage lotion into your feet and legs. (I really like this part too.) 
Then they put on nail polish.
My husband really enjoyed getting his feet worked on, and tells people about it all the time now. He says that he had been missing out on a special treat all his life. I’m glad he enjoys it, because his feet really needed the attention. He couldn’t trim them well himself, and he had lots of dry skin and callouses on them. Now, I LOVE to play footsie with him.
I don’t think it’s silly. I don’t think hairy chests are attractive and appreciate men who take care of themselves. However, my DH would never wax any part of his body. lol Fortunately, he’s not very hairy at all.
What Shandeh said. Mine doesn’t do the hot wax though, they do a full massage on my lower legs, ankles and feet though. Pedicures are not about the nail polish, it’s just the finishing touch.
Um… my salon doesn’t do the hot wax part. :?eyebrow: Next time I’m comin to your place!
It’s actually a paraffin wax, and it smells peachy. I love it! 
Well to be perfectly honest, Kristin, I’ve never had one done, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t ever. I would go because it’s a new experience, and then return (or not) based on the experience.
As far as straight men having all the answers or thinking they do, unfortunately, in many cases this is correct, however, reserving it for one specific type of gender seems to say that those of other types of gender, seems extremely biased. After all, can one say they know every particular person in which they’ve stereotyped? And that’s all I’m going to say on the matter.
Rorshach, you are 100% correct. Each of us is an individual, with differences so bizarre, there would be no way to categorize or stereotype us!!!
I mean, just because you’re a woman, doesn’t mean you’ll act a certain way. The same with men.
I’ve seen some men who would start a fight over a look. I’ve seen other men who are afraid to look at anyone. Women are all different as well. Some people say women are weaklings, but I’ve seen some women that could beat up The Terminator!
And I’ve met LOTS of [B][U]women[/U][/B] who think they have all the answers.
My mom makes my 12yro brother get one every few months. His feet are [B]NASTY[/B], and its the only way to get them truly squeaky clean. But he loves it. He always asks to go again. He’s gonna make some girl happy some day
Wow! He’s getting trained WELL! 
if people need that sort of safe space, it should be a support group. places of business are not segregated by gender. please don’t think that women are thinking that when you are in an LYS. most of us are delighted and curious. i’ve only gotten a mani pedi once, and there was a guy in there and i wasn’t the least bit disturbed, nor was anyone else.
