I was in school and had just learned to wax when I came home to my boyfriend and said....Can I wax your back, it won't hurt I swear. Mind you my bf is a BIG 260lb solid muscle weight lifting type of guy so I figure, he can squat 700 lbs...he can handle some wax. So...he is laying on my bed of course and I bring the wax pot over and apply a little bit up top...go for the first rip and he said every curse word I think I have ever done. He said...thats IT you are DONE!! I said..welllll, there is still wax so you have to let me get that off....RIP.....another slew of curse words....I said...that was a good one..there is some blood. hahaha. He goes WHAT??? I said ok ok fine, maybe the back is too sensitive...let's just wax right between the eyes (he shaves there...ugh) so he agreed, why I have no idea...but he did. RIP...slew of curse words...and I was told you are NEVER coming near me again with wax...no...waxing and my name together are no longer in your vocabulary!! Needless to say he was scarred for life.

We just went on a cruise and I tried to convince him to wax his back...I think we even had one of those I will do it if you let me wax your back and he had agreed and then backed out. I told him I would get the numbing stuff and everything but no way in hell.

I have given him a facial before and he likes those...well he really just cares about the massage part. He too has gotten one pedicure and will only go again simply for the leg massage!!

MEN!!!!

This cracks me up!

But the whole time I'm reading I hear my esthetics teacher from YEARS ago saying...

"plucking is for chickens...TWEEZING is for brows"

I wax my boyfriend's eyebrows. I fought him to let me do it at first. Now, he'll let me know when he needs it done :). I also believe that all men should have their nostrils waxed. My boyfriend was "selling" the nostril wax to his brother recently. His brother resisted but eventually did it, plus an eyebrow wax and airbrush tan. Turning the low-maintenance man around one boyfriend, or brother, at a time!

Nostril waxing sounds PAINFUL!!! I would take some serious convincing on that one :-)
