My boyfriend has almost 1 eyebrow instead of 2. How do I tell him to pluck in a nice way without hurting him?

Question

We have only been dating 7 weeks. He is sweet and I don't want to hurt his feelings. But how do I approach it?
It is not like he has one eyebrow, but the hairs bother me.

Answer 1

That is a tough one... I would recommend a little a little shave play once the two of you know each other a bit better... after you get a bit intimate elsewhere, separating those brow's will not be a big deal at all. Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

Elle, I'm willing to bet that he owns a mirror, and already realizes what he looks like. It isn't a physical deformity, but merely a difference... and one which he does not mind, although you do.

You can "tell him to pluck"-- in a nice or humorous way, I'm sure, like the advice you're getting-- but in the end what you're really saying is "the way I think you should look and the way you think you should look are different-- and you are wrong about your own face." [And I'm not saying that you're wrong about it not looking good (it could be hideous!)-- just that he apparently doesn't see it that way.]

Now, he may very well be so in love with you that he won't care at all that you are criticizing both his face and his taste, or he may just like being with you enough that, although he'll be hurt, he'll shut up and do what you want anyway. Or maybe not... maybe it'll turn out that all the men in his family look like that, and it's a matter of great ethnic pride (or somesuch), and he'll walk. I don't know-- I've never met the guy.

My 'answer', I realize, doesn't directly answer your question. However, if you're going to take your relationship seriously, I think it's important to look not only at what the question asks, but also at what it means.

(If it's not a relationship you're really serious about, and you don't have to worry about the underlying implications... buy him some tweezers. Just don't ell him "I don't want to hurt you, but..." since men all think women must be incredibly brave, pulling their own hair out by the roots!)

Answer 3

Just like him the way he is, why try to change something you had no control in making, and im sure he wants to tell you to change some things about you as well, but does not want to hurt your feelings. So the question should be, do you really like your boyfriend, because true admiration, caring and loving someone does not hurt. Or why do you like him, the eyebrow did not stop you from being his girlfriend.

Answer 4

Simply buy him those eyebrow trimmers. You can pick them up at any drug store for less than $20. They work great. Don't worry too much about hurting his feelings. He'll get over it. It's kind of like when you see someone that has a bugger in their nose or a their zipper is down and you're scared to tell them but we all know that they don't want to walk around all day like that. We all have imperfections. I just found out that my girlfriend plucks hairs from her body in places that I would have never imagined but I love her nonetheless. Anyway get him those trimmers soon, he'll thank you for it.

Answer 5

First of all that is a funny question, I needed a good laugh, so thank you. Next, you should just knock him out and then have your way with the tweezers by pluckin the hell out of that unibrow... Or if thats too much to handle, you can ask him on the sly if he had ever thought about getting the hair in the center removed? If not then, resort to the first option, ha ha..

Answer 6

BEST IDEA!
go get pedicures together, most places like that will do eyebrow waxing, ask for waxing after the pedicure, have him watch and say, hey let them just get that one bit between your eyes while were here. Sometimes the girl there may even suggest it. He'll think your sharing a moment, and be none the wiser that you are getting rid of that nasty unibrow that gives you the image of a catepillar crawling across his forhead when he kises you goodnite.
That worked for getting rid of that nasty-wasty unibrow on my b/f.
GOOD LUCK

Answer 7

You are a cruel and shallow little girl. Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror and point out all of your flaws. You wouldn't like that very much now would you? So, so sad. You do not deserve him.

Answer 8

well i dont know it wouldnt be something he would dump you for though so you should just tell him as a bet like say "ill pay you $10 to wax the middle of your eyebrows" maybe he will d oit. hope it works :)

Answer 9

You can wax him in his sleep. j/k
Just tell him in a blunt manner, it's easier. It's like ripping tape off of your arm, it'll hurt just a sec, but he might actually pluck or shave his uni-brow

Answer 10

Have someone else suggest it. Pay for a spa day for the both of you and arrange ahead of time to have one of the specialists talk to him about it, without giving away that you asked for it.
