Why is Pulling Nose Hairs So Terrible?

Did some tweezer work last night. Pulled the first two with only some minor eye watering. Moved over to the left cave to grab one and had a complete runny nose booger attack... and I still didn't get it.

Also, apparently, they spread, as I pulled a little 3mm one that was growing out the side of my nostril. Not fun... Not fun at all.

By far the worst grooming requirement out there.

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.

especially when you feel it detach from your brain-stem and its a big thick one with a white root that makes it look like you just plucked a snowball our of your body.
 
You should not pull nosehairs, they exist for a reason, to keep foreign particles OUT of your lungs.

Since they are so important, they are connected to a billion nerve endings.
 
these are the best nose hair pluckers you can get. clamp on and yank.

I hate doing it, it's like lightning to the brain. No other hair sucks that bad to pull.

I usually don't have a problem doing the pulling. The PROBLEM I have is that it NEVER fails if I pluck all the nose-hairs ATLEAST one of them will result in an in-grown inside of my nose that will ANNOY THE HELL out of me for eternity.

Thus, my only option is trimming. Which sucks. I much prefer pulling since it takes much longer to grow back.

Well I've let the ol Rose bush get rather thorny, and it's not a pretty sight. I'm like the off spring of an Armenian who banged an Italian that bathed themselves in Rogain every day for a decade.

Except my back and shoulders aren't hairy. Pretty much just the waist down. Weird...

You think evolution is perfect?
Why don't children and young adults have many nose hairs?

It gets much worse for men in adulthood and the quantity is unnecessary.

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.

Reading that actually made me tear up a little bit.

I dunno, I have a mustache and beard and long hair since they exist for a reason 🙂 Can't see if there is hair in the nose or not.

Its the ear hairs that I think are gross!
