Karl Lagerfeld made a prediction years ago that men would be the new women. What he meant by that, in part, is that they, too, will be as worried as women about their looks.

Turn On or Turn Off? Metrosexual Men
As I’m sure you all know, metrosexual is the term used to describe a heterosexual male who has great taste in both lifestyle and attire and gives his appearance more attention than the average guy.

How Do You Handle a Hairy Situation?
On your honeymoon, you realize that you've spent oodles of this time and money grooming your goods, your brows and your legs so that they are free of unwanted hairs, but you're guy is more hairy than a chimpanzee!
