Having your eyelashes trimmed to appear less feminine is the same energy as getting fake lashes or putting on mascara to appear more feminine. If you need your eyelashes trimmed, your beard sculpted, your hair gel'd, and your tan sprayed on just so you can look more masculine, I think you might be missing the forest for the trees, my guy. Absolutely nothing wrong with being concerned about your hygeine and appearance, but let's not pretend that this is the rugged masculinity you think you are portraying. Surprised the Alpha Bros came up with it, not the Queer Eye dudes.
I'm masculine because I stink and I leave my beard in whatever weird shape my cat licks it into.
Or... hear me out.... Maybe masculinity isn't about being either dirty or obsessive over your appearance...?
I’m masculine because I’m gay and I piss and shit all over the place
I love grooming my beard and shaping it up. I'll spend a decent amount of time doing in the bathroom making it just right. Not because it makes me manly, but because I like it and even more importantly, my lady likes it. And any manly man knows that making your significant other happy is the manliest fucking thing possible.
The Queer Eye guys didn’t come up with it because they knew how stupid it would probably look.
