Bah.. Real Men pluck their nose hair. :Q

I will occasionally snip an eyebrow hair that gets too long, but to pluck them sounds too girlie-man. I'm also not affected by the Uni-Brow Syndrome(TM)..

I have heard of that "threading" but never tried it. I egt my waxed just because it makes me feel better. I hate thick eye brows...on chicks or guys. I think the main reason why guys don't get them tweezed is because they are afraid it will hurt too much!

Agreed. Maybe I just have normal eyebrows, I dunno, but they certainly don't need plucking or tweezing.

I always get a kick out of the old men that have bushy eyebrows that curl upwards and look like devils horns or something.

i went to a import car show last night and i noticed that many of the asian men had plucked eye brows. is it a new trend?

Aww man... Not in this part of Asia they don't! Unless you're referring to models, then they're an exception. :D

Why yes. Yes I do. I usually pluck them with tweezers, but I have had them waxed. I've heard of threading, but I've never had that done.

I pluck the unibrow...thats it. I agree that you might as well go i love you if you do anything more than that. Bushy eyebrows are part of being a man, deal with it.
Not a good idea to pluck just before you go out though...otherwise it looks like you got kicked in the face.

Oh yeah and if you say tweeze instead of pluck your favorite color must be pink :D

Then I let her do it she didn't reshape them, but she just cleaned up the little stray hairs. It hurt like a mofo, but they do look better.
Actually, yes, I have to say I do this. I have about five or six individual hairs on each side that grow like three times longer than the rest of the eyebrow. Those five or six hairs grow so long that they curl half-way around and they grow at all sorts of opposing angles. Looks pretty funny, so I grab 'em and yank 'em out once a month or so.

heh depends if your light skinned and howe much pain tolerance you have. uni is easy for some reason. getting hairs on the sides of your eyelids.. strays basically.. thats painful.
