myths, truths and reality
men live longer than women because they do not have children, which is a huge strain on your body. Men die younger than women because they do not take care of themselves. Be attractive to the opposite sex is the goal of most men when they are young. "Dressing kill" is the dream of a designer
Got ya
Women spend an excessive amount of time being women !!; going to be something they are not. For most men I know, between 16 and 60, they spend little time on changing what can not be changed; their penis. It's a good piece of equipment or not. 16, you already know that it is a winner or a curse. It is what God gave you through genetic inheritance you have, right?
trained as a scientist, but with my heart firmly in the camp of the arts means that I tend to look at things, analyze them, try to understand and more importantly, see what drives them. The same goes for the beauty industry. This is a service industry, if there ever was one. We do not need, but we spend considerable time and money to it. It is like our inner self. We want to show the world who we are through the clothes we wear, the phones we use, the friends we believe we have.
Tarts and teasers
Try this. Try it. We all sometimes knowing full well we will be disappointed. But changing your shape, your face, your personality, it is a big ask. Who we do it for? We or our egos?
Beauty in Bali
My mother was in her mid-sixties, when she had her first massage. It was in December 1993. It was when I got married to my lovely wife in Kubutambahan, the city at the end of the road through the mountains, where you turn left or right or Lovina for Springs. We had six kebayas made for all women at night in 1993. This is Bali. The family was determined to give us an unforgettable wedding.
Get my mother or my wife to have a child was surprisingly simple. Once she saw that almost everyone had to have one, it was for her too. My mother had 15 pregnancies went to term in a period of his life that one can think that his first - 20 to 40 years. She was pregnant for most of that time not. Not unusual for his generation; just a very fertile woman. Be a fertile woman is back in Vogue!
My point is simple
Keeping man was his priority. And my father was a good man. A softie when it came to children - children of person, but especially his own. His idea to look good for the ladies was a handful of Brillcream to smooth back her black hair. "This will do fine, thank you."
There have never considered having a massage. I'm prudish perhaps, but I think it would be associated with sex. Grooming and be cared for were two completely different things in the eye of his mind.
Men who have plastic surgery done today is on the rise, growing at twice the rate for women; 8% per year for men. So it will take a million years for us men to catch up with you girls. But you can be sure that we will never be - you are the sex
So what do we do with him? Are we becoming a group of thoughts, we men? What drives us to spend more money on research of the part? Simple. We are living longer and having completely different lives to the generation of our parents.
The Chinese curse
Like it or not, China will dominate the world in the 21st century. It is remarkable to think that having a policy of "one-child" will result in seven Chinese be in 2100, some 87 years from now, when the world population tops 11 billion.
A billion plus people today - and you can not separate them in terms of standard measures such as hair color, height, weight, physical. Ridiculous. They are all individuals with individual desires, wants, desires. Be different from what they are will be there among them. But they are all individuals, the same as you and me, and they have the means, wealth, to do so.
As for beauty, be successful, be rich, be sexy, is better to be Chinese. They are the nation, the society has taught us that being fat means you live longer. Tomorrow, they will teach us to see what we see today that beauty is false. It may be normal to you and me, but will not be for our children.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that means you and I decide what it is that we value in those we love. Surgery changes your face, but does nothing to change you. Vain or humble, you're still the same person you've always been.
So do not be fooled. Beauty is on the outside. It's what's inside that really counts.
