Why are men reluctant to get pedicures, manicures, and massages?

Question

They say 25% of spa customers are men, but I think that number is, if true, biased, toward a certain social group and not an across the board number..

Is the hesitancy for men to go to spa's the same in European countries, as well?

Answer 1

For a lot of guys it isn't "macho" to be be pampered - it's kind of a "sissy" thing for them. Typically these are the guys who are insecure about their manhood. There is nothing wrong with guys getting pedicures, manicures, massages or even having their permed or curled. Some guys even wear makeup but I think that is getting to be a little extreme and may be a sign of a gender bend issue.
Sorri I can't comment on the European countries.

Answer 2

I don't know about Europe-that area has a different mix of cultures than we in America. The same, but different. American men don't always want to do what you are asking about, 'cause it's not "macho" enough for them. They can even think it's too "sissy". Men, at least here in the States, tend more to want to do sauna's, things like that. In Europe, in some countries, the men and women greet each other with kisses on the cheeks. Here, we are not used to that. I hope this helps answer your question. Take care.

Answer 3

naturally.
I ahve found in recent queries of the men i know, some have gone off their own bat to get waxed, or manicures etc. Its because they are in a business of looking and presenting themselves.
The others i have tried to go to get waxed, or anything else remotly feminine are completly against it as they feel it strips away their masculinity.

Basically, if a man is comfortable with himself, he can go in and not feel like he is shedding his man hood.

Answer 4

Its because us guys know that they would get in the way when we would masturbate. <.< And get the sticky stuff stuck on them.
