Girls have a reputation for taking too long to get ready. And certainly that reputation has some credibility. But I posit that men take 3 hours longer to get ready than girls do. Girls start getting ready when they step in the shower. Boys start getting ready in the gym. I have actually seen a male specimen kiss his own bicep in front of a mirror at a gym. Gotta get ready for the gun show. And after the three-hour weight-room-strut – a dance of which half the time is spent gratuitously flexing and grabbing weights heavier than any other dude in sight is lifting – begins the one to two hour post-workout ritual. A ritual that includes trimming or shaving every hair on a guy’s body, oiling up, spritzing on way too much cologne, finding the perfect oversized belt buckle, agonizing over how many shirt buttons to leave undone at the top, and picking between a studded leather cuff or extra thick wristband fossil watch. Indeed, the myth of the low fuss male is just that, a myth. |
