ok, so I think I understand how this threading thing works.... you know how a thread is actually made up of 3 or more separate strands that are twisted together? So you un-twist and push the thread right next to your eyebrows, and make it go slack so that the fibers separate somewhat... then twist / pull to tighten up the thread again, and some of your eyebrow hairs are caught in the middle of the thread. Then pull and the hairs get taken out with the thread. Make sense?

There's absolutely NOTHING unmanly about cooking. I am proud to say that I cook better than 99% of the women I've dated. I even have a small recipie box...I dont' consult it much, since I've memorized most of the stuff I cook on a regular basis. I cook, therefore I am.

I like to cook mostly because I really like to eat. I am my own best customer. I sit there w/a plateful of hot food and go "mmm-mmm! Damn I'm good!" 😀

wait... 😱
 
Cooking is normal. Don't feel girly about that one.

I've actually been contemplating going to a good salon and getting a "makeover". Not the apricot-mask, cucumber-on-eyeballs, "girlfriend, what have YOU been up to?" type of makeover. I'm talking about getting my eyebrows done (I'm getting the "unibrow-creep" going on) and getting a new haricut. I guess going to a salon will be the most girly thing I've done.
 
Lessee...

I'm a pretty damn good cook (and not just the grill)

I can sew to an extent

I do a lot of gardening (although I will refer to it as "landscaping" 😉)

I shave my legs for cycling (Here's why, since someone will invariably ask: Easier to clean up road rash, easier to get massage after hard race/training if you can somehow bribe wife/SO, psychologically makes you "feel" faster, and it's just part of road cycling culture. It's almost like a rite of passage that you are now at least a semi-serious cyclist).

Also makes wearing biking pants more tollerable, especially once you start sweating. Those things pull hairs BAD. When I was into MTBing, I shaved too.
 
I haven't read every single post yet, so if it was already explained, excuse me. 🙂

Threading is another way to shape your eyebrows like waxing or plucking. They use a piece of thread and twist it in a way to catch the hair and pluck it out.

EDIT:

Here's a little bit of information on threading. Not much, but a little. 🙂

I wore the pants, brush hurst when you're flying down a hill @ 30+ MPH and take corners a little too close.

Too hot for that here in GA. I wear as little as possible when on the mountain bike in the summer. I cut the sleeves off several of my older jerseys for that very reason. I'm willing to trade a few scrapes for not dying of hyperthermia.

Yeah, the high altitude and cool mountain breezes of deer valley and Park City are quite nice 🙂
 
Not only did I not know what 'threading' was, I didn't even know what an 'esthetatician' was.

I think I'll go scratch my crotch and belch loudly while watching a football game.

Don't forget to crank out a few room-clearing farts while you're at it. 😀
 
Alrighty lets see here, I think this is a longer list than I have hoped for.
I have like 8 pairs of shoes
I love cashmere and silk
I like going shopping
I use bath and body works shampoo, condition and bodywash ( I have an excuse for this partially, I have long hair and it cleans and conditions it so much better than guy shampoo)
The few times I have done it, I have enjoyed baking cookies
I hate sports
I dont like getting my hands dirty
I have had my hair in pigtails, braids and one of those bun thingys with chopsticks (my girlfriend did those and none of them stayed in for long)
I have spent over $80 on one shirt more than once
Well I am sure I could think of alot more but I think I have embarassed myself enough for one day 😉
 
My roommate last year would wear Victoria's Secret perfume. I'm not talking about something like "Bath & Body Works for Men" -- this stuff was hardcore feminine. 🙂
 
Whats wrong with having a bunch of shoes?

I mean

Work boots, black pair, brown pair
Cap Toe Oxfords, black pair, brown pair
Moc Toe Oxfords, black pair, brown pair
Reg Toe Oxfords, black pair, brown pair
Penny Loafers, black pair, brown pair
Couple pair of various tennis shoes and cross trainers

Whats wrong with that. 8 pairs of shoes isnt much. Most of the women I know have 20+ pairs
