Say Brothers, I wonder if you guys are not scared to share beauty secerets. Yall we need to stay so fresh and so clean. So I will start it off by giving some tips about nails:

I know this is going to sound funny guys, but you really should have your nails manicured at least once a month. Clean nails are very professional and very attractive to the ladies. Keep your nails clean by washing your hands after meals and other activities which require them to get sloppy. And also carry a finger file to get yo clean on, when in an emergency.

I know yall like, man he aint serious LOL.

Come on yall we can do it!!!

WE CAN BE SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN!!!

Brother Manasiac, you really are becoming a staple in this community because you bring interesting and important topics to the discussion table. Keep up the great work brother! Sisters out there are noticing and paying close attention. Thank you for giving US the opportunity learn more about our brothers! :read:

Come on brothers...jump in the discussion--we know you're out there reading this! Don't be shy! :wave:

Peace,
Queenie :spinstar:

Well Queen, Either these guys are not clean or they are too embarassed to share beauty tips.

I guess this is the end of this thread. I kind of figured it would die hard anyway, alot of men are too embarassed to talk about stuff like beauty and etc.

I'm not scurred brotha. Hey MANASIAC, I don't know about going to the nail salon, but I do use oatmeal face soap to keep the skin nice and soft like a babies butt. It's works good too. I should get my nails done too. It was hard to find soap that didn't make my face break out so I'm glad I finally had some luck. You know they don't make products for the brothas and sistas easily accessable (if I spelled that right). Great topic man. I didn't see it before today. Anyone have any other tips?

Thanks for the Tip Brother Kente. I think everyone else is SKURREd Lol.

Man,

Thank you a million times over on men and their nails. I can not stand a man with dirty nails, or long nails for that matter,thats one of the fist things I look at on a man.

More men should get regular pedicures!!

Manasiac on the nail thang dog I was raised in a pretty rough environment meaning taking care of dogs, cleaning boats, hunting , fishing, and pretty much messing up my hands..and to my folk getting ya nails done was not the thang for a man to do...as I get older though I've been wanting to try and get a manicure to see how it'd be but I have this thing about people touching my cuticles on hands and feet I mean man it ties my stomach in knots when anybody does it...my lady friend says if I try to get a manicure I'd probably wind up popping the nail lady in the mouth...I'm gonna try though...other than that I don't do anything special .....cocoa butter , coconut oil on the skin and oh I got one.....

Brothers ...please before yall go out get up in the mirror and check yourself for anything that should not be on your face or head/hair....I mean the matter in the eyes or whatever you find in your nose dry skin or ash on your face lint on the fresh shaved bald head..(yall know how the bald head picks up lint and such) ...that's my only thing...I make sure that when I head out the door I'm ready to be seen and adored.... :grin:

hard working laboring handz i do try to keep my nails clip short and clean

another thing is how well groom we can be i've seen so many men facial
hair go wild

and how we tend to dress , what's with the slacks hanging down to the bottom
there behind who want to see them draws anyway and the first thing they do is be
in a woman face

then we have the oral part to take care of i mean how can u face a woman
and miss the scope that morning we have to keep our self up like a woman
we just do it a little differently

I always try to keep my self up to standards in every area of my body
this along speaks out to a woman , neatness is a great way to start a
day and with me in the Nursing field i have to wash and keep my handz
clean and ready for duity in many ways at work and for play very important.

I feel ya Pimping.

how clean is it when a man talks to a lady he have to grab
his crouch like he looking for something to give her !?
this a true nasty turn off , but why do so many men do this ???
the handz become dirty i've been in public washrooms as watch
men handle business and walk out without washing their handz
number one germ and virus carrier and then look to shake a hand

me the peace sign is cool coz i don't know where them handz been
and on what ........whewwwwww! bruthas need to rethink how they
handle them self in public less known at home .

lololololol

Do sports. Loose the pot belly. That means, brothas need to do the situps. There is no way around it. YOu've got ta get on the flo', lie on your back, but them feet under something, put your hands behind your head, and lift. I recommend 100 a night. However many breaks it takes in between to start. Just accomplish it.
Then, look at your diet. What I'm saying folks is do a little on the inside and on the outside. Brothas! Brush the teeth! Daily. 2 times a day. In the morning and after the act of the night. SHAVE! Man, I'm talking about all parts of hair on the body except the chest. Leave the hair on the chest. Pull the nose hairs! WASH YOUR FACE daily. About the sagging pants? Pull them up. Let a sista know, you got a booty. Get some pride brothas. Get some act right. REad a little too. Helps with the knowledge. About the nails? A woman sometimes likes to know that a brotha works. Pretty nails could indicate you got a second personality... sort of right down Rupaul's avenue. That aint always a turn on brothas. Did I say floss? I know in my fam, we barbeque a lot and brushing doesn't always work if the meat was burnt on the grill. If you got some hair, comb it. You got a fro, pick it right or braid it. Julius 77', Ben Wallace, and Don King is not a turn on. If you think it is, just make sure it smells good. Same with dreads. Make sure the locs smell proper. Bald heads, you still have to use some kind of soap or shampoo. But this goes back to pedicures, make sure you don't cut your head up with bad hangnails or chipped nails. Ain't no way to hide them scratches. That's my advice for now. Respect your body. I'm on a www.ShakalotHigh.com

A clean neat man gets much respect and looks it's all about morals

and i know there are more bruthas out there who can tell a story about
good health.......

Any man who gets his nails done is a punk. I keep them short n trimmed, but I don't get pedicures n ****.

I have skin problems and have had this issue since high school. I've seen Doctors and all that but doesn't anything work. I drink two 33ounces or 44 ounces of water a day. I eat a salad or fruit with every meal. My sleeping habits are cool. I don't know what to do. Only thing I haven't tired is Pro-Active. I don't have alot of money to spend on that stuff.


What can I do? I don't workout like I use to but hey I'm active.

IF the doctors aint did nothing, it might be time too see a specialist.

Understood!. Well, what do you wash your face with?. That plays a big role in how your skin will react. One thing that I have learned about maintaining good skin is to change your pillowcases after a couple of days. Bacteria with your dead skin cells builds up on the surface, causing major breakouts.
If you tell me what you wash your face with, I'll be delighted to map out an inexpensive route to caring for your skin.

I think it's cool to see a Man get his Nails done. It ain't nothing wrong with being a Metrosexual Men. But some Men do be going overboard with they stuff- no joke.

All men should keep themselves fresh and clean because it's not just a woman thing. No woman wants a nasty, smelly man rubbing up against them, while they smell all sweet and tasty....mmmmm


Anyhow, I'm not one to get my nails and feet done, but I keep them short and clean. I keep my hair cut and I stay shaved neatly. Isn't there a such thing as washing your face too much though?

Yup! that is correct.You can irritate your skin to the point where it will overproduce sebum to compensate for the moisture loss. Thus, you are prone to acne flare-ups.

Be sure that you use face cleanser to wash your face. Using body soap for your face is not good. Also, don't use any exfoliating agents too frequently on your face, it irritates the skin and too much of it is bad.

I personally keep my underarm hair cut very close, almost shaven. Reduces funk, reduces amount of deodorant you need, you don't get little deodorant balls stuck in your hair (yuk!).

You should brush yo' teeth more than twice a day. Soft or medium bristle tootbrushes, hard bristles wear your enamel down. Brush your tongue and your gums too.

Use some doggone lotion! You don't need to bathe in it, a little goes a long way to healing yo ashy ***.

Don't bathe in cologne. Again, a little goes a long way. And it gives women an excuse to get all up under you.

I have a babyface and I want to keep it that way. Use a good amount of shaving cream/ gel and shave WITH the grain, straight razors, very sharp, multiple blades--no razorbumps. Use face moisturizer with an spf of at least 15.
Don't smoke (cigarettes or weed).
Eat your veggies. Don't eat too much meat or dairy, don't get too much caffeine, alcohol or sugar.

Use some cream or grease in your hair. If you have fine hair, you prbably want to avoid anything with petrolatum in it, it will just weight your hair down and make it look stringy.

Keep your shoes polished. It does make a difference.

Don't wear wrinkled clothes. Not everything needs to be pressed, but I can't think of anything that looks good wrinkled.

That's my nickel for now.

......and don't forget to trim the hair in and around your ears!
