How to Be a Real Man #58:

Place a healthy dab of super glue on the blunt end of a pencil. Stick pencil up nose and leave it there until glue has dried, then give it a healthy yank.

No more nose hair, and it takes mere seconds.

no.

im more frustrated with ear hair that is now growing in my ears.

I trim it with a trimmer, but it's annoying as shit as it's growing back. What's that itch? oh its just the hair growing back in. What's that weird noise? oh it's just ear wax crumbling over the hair. Fuck.

I wanna laser away the hair in my ears more than anything.

I just pulled one about 10 minutes ago and ask myself every time if it's worth the pain and suffering. The answer is yes.

If you're at work and you see a wild and crazy one. Then yes, you have to pull it. Otherwise use the trimmer at home.

Yesterday I bought one of those nose hair trimmers and removed all the hair from my nose. I'm not sure if this was a good idea, don't humans need nose hair for something?

You only trimmed the front half of your nose hairs. You'll still feel the booger hairs in the mid to back nose.

Why does a 2 inch nose hair only stick out of my nose 1/32 of an inch. Then I tug at it and feel a pinch halfway up my nose and I'm like oh no not again why!?

Whoever said men can't cry. Just slowly pluck a single 1inch nose hair with tweezers.

:awe:

That sounds like a bad idea for some reason I can't put my finger on.

I shave my sack; the g/f likes it smooth. If I miss some hairs, they get yanked out with tweezers. The microsecond of small pain is worth it in the end..... :awe:

holy shit. :eek:

... Do you guys not shave your sacks???

Plus, I'm kind of a weirdo, I tolerate pain incredibly well. Probably the years of martial arts BS that got me accustomed to being punched/choked/kicked, etc.

Besides, ain't no chicks wanna lick on cactus nuts. Ammiright?

I mean, inevitably, one will miss some hairs. Can't have any stragglers now can we?

"Oh my God.. Those balls are smooth as eggs!" :awe:
