Shaving
I have never really liked shaving. The process of dragging a sharpened piece of steel across the area of my body where several huge arteries and veins are is a somewhat uncomfortable process. In contrast to this, in the media I often see how much women supposedly like men who are smooth. In my head I have scenes ranging from James Bond to those idiots you see in MTVs Spring Break. The classic image of a man in a tuxedo holding a woman close as she suggestively caresses his cheek. The message is always the same: women like men who are smooth. While I have dated women that felt this way it seems that a recent trend (only within the past two years) have preferred me scruffy. Interestingly enough this has also been the period where I have been under the influence of the "Shave every %*$#@*^$ day" Marine Corps. I swear I can hear God laughing sometimes...
