Times are changing. It is not only females coming at par with men, but now even men are coming at par with women. And the best way to do it is doing things which have always been a woman’s prerogative. Men are trying to realize their feminine side more strongly than ever.
For a long time, men were all about masculinity. Someone who was physically strong and took care of the family, both monetarily as well as physically. His grooming included taking bath, combing hair and sometimes shaving. They were just expected to look clean enough and wear clothes which gelled well with their masculine identity, like blue, blacks and white. They were not supposed to bother about their appearance at all.
But cut to the present and the scenario has changed drastically. Men today are spending as mush time as women or sometimes even more on their looks and their clothes. Its not difficult to find a men’s group discussing about the ways of getting a toned body or glowing skin or designs of the latest clothes.
Mens health
Since men are spending so much of their time, money as well as energy on getting a lean physique and toned body, taking care of their overall health has become important. One cannot have a gorgeous body without being healthy from inside. To be healthy one has to eat the right kind of food. To achieve all this they have also started dieting. Some even quit smoking as well as drinking to attain that lean figure. They even take care of their skin and go for regular facials and cleaning treatments just like women.
Mens clothing
Clothes form a very important part of our overall appearance. The saying, “ Clothes maketh man”, is very true. Clothes can improve as well as mar your looks. Earlier all the frenzy and excitement was only around a women’s apparel, but now even men have become a clotheshorse. There are so many brands having their men’s line. In fact some cater exclusively to men. Even men have started experimenting with designs and colours. They too have different attires for different occasions.
All this change has been brought about by a lot of important factors. One of them is that since now even women have started working, they too have spending par. They are no longer dependent on men to fund their shopping. Because of this men also have a large amount of disposable income. Their things of interest were very limited so when men got bored of doing and buying those things, they had to move on to things that women found interest in. The other reason is that suddenly men realised that looking good is an important factor and helps in a lot of other things, like people warming up to you easily, maintaining a cheerful mood as looking good is directly proportional to cheerful mood apart from other things.
How could men be left behind in doing feminine things, when women were entering all the masculine fields. Its time when we have gender equality in the real sense.
