Dirty, Smelly, & Hairy
Behold, a startling statement published by The Independent [UK] newspaper:
Smelly, dirty and hairy: why men are still strangers to grooming by Oliver Duff and Nathalie Stahelin
One-third of men are strangers to regular deodorant use and 96 per cent care not about excessive body hair.
The authors of the article, obviously, think that these are bad things (as a disguise for their own viewpoint of trying to understand why more men don't rush to use "personal care" and "cosmetic" products). Of course, I and a whole lot of bear friends of mine think otherwise, and might wonder what in the world they mean by "excessive" body hair (since, to some, there can never be enough), not to mention wondering why they so gratuitously add "dirty" to their list of perceived evils along with "smelly" and "hairy", which are not always bad things. Tsk.
