I got some very interesting comments under yesterday’s piece on living too much in my head (from women, at last!). They both said they had a knee-jerk reaction to “hashtag blessed” used as a description of most women’s writing, compared with my own which is supposedly too intellectual for this audience. That’s why few women read me, my husband says, I write more like a man than like one of them, and so it’s not relevant to their interests.

I'm a man and I shave my armpits. I have a 4-step skin-care routine and I love looking at a mirror. Recently, I hired a personal stylist, so I can look even better. Is it just a sign of vanity on my part? Definitely.
Is there anything wrong with that? I highly doubt that.
1. It's productive - the Halo Effect is real. Taking care of your appearance will improve every aspect of your life.
2. Beauty is real too. If I care about cleaning my home and my car, it's only right to care about my sacred vehicle in which I go throught the life.
Not only I'm feeling good about myself. I'm doing everyone a favor that they can look at my fit and sexy body and not one that is gross ;p
Btw. it's completely OK to care about "superficial" things as money, looks, sex, fame, sport cars, shoes. If something is valuable to you, you will only feel worse by neglecting your needs. It's much better to be superficial and happy and honest than "deep" and miserable.
I wish you could embrace your feminine side too <3
