I often buy The Mail as I enjoy their puzzles and crosswords. However lately I have to skip most of the paper because of the ridiculous health and beauty sections. Today it gives the best way to defuzz forearms. What? Do people do this?
They seem to hate every part of the body focusing on many parts I've never even thought about.

Hair on anywhere but your head seems to be a big "no-no" these days.
Its a shame, I think, but then I look like guy the gorilla in a dress.

My grandson plucks his eyebrows, shapes them.

He informs me that long hair for men is becoming popular, though.
Perhaps the tide is turning...

What goes around, comes around.
Look at Georgian men 😁

The Daily Mail?! Enough said.

That is a silly thing to say. You may not like the politics of the Daily Mail but many of its supplements - financial and medical for two = are excellent.

Nor can you have a respect and understanding of people who do not share your political opinions. We read the mail and i on weekdays and the mail on Sunday and The Observer on Sundays. This gives us a cross the board view of national and international affairs

Someone with expensive and extensive tattoos presumable wants their body decor to be clearly visible, not obscured by their body hair?

My hair has migrated since getting older. Is it hormones or rather lack of them?
Men and women seem to become more alike with age. 😅

Legs and arms have very little hair but I'm sure my eyebrows have grown and chin whiskers annoy me.

I've noticed I've got quite floppy earlobes these days, too!
