How do you feel about the over-tweezed and over-manicured eyebrows? I have some difficulty getting past it. I don't know what it is, but it just turns me off. It seems to be a big problem with the homos here in Philly.

I can't make any negative comments on thin eyebrows. But I will say I wish mine were thicker.

Well daniel from your pics you don't seem to have any eyebrow problems. But for those of us that can get a unibrow- well bring on the wax!

Not a fan. If the guy just has to do it, moderation is preferred.

Though I've never understood guys that over-tweeze and over-manicure their eyebrows yet grow their chest hair. The juxtaposition confuses me.

To each his own. Some dudes it looks interesting. Others it looks maybe a bit high maintenance, but it's all cool with me. Do with them what ya want. Now showing off your man tits or man udders is a little problem with me but again, to each their own.

I agree. I mean, some minor maintenance is fine, but when they are super thin or non-existant, it's kind of a turn-off.

ya what ever bout gettin rid of a uni brow but shapen dem too much makes dem look too camp i tink..

i've disvocered in los angeles that tweezing is no longer a homo-restricted acticity. crazy. this assimilation to the mainstream causes me much confusion and grief. we need to find a new thing to make us feel superior and snub our sloppy, poorly-dressed brothers. haha

that said:

overtweezing scares me. but then, so does undergrooming.

look like a man, look like an evolved man.

I'm all for being sloppy and poorly dressed.

I blew off my eyebrows when I was 10 playing with gasoline and fire. They grew back.

The only people who should trim their eyebrows are those old old guys who look like they have nest of hoary caterpillars on their brow.

I don't think it's very attractive. Something about it just takes away from someone's natural beauty. Sure a slight trim would do some people good, but I like to go o'natural. It surprises people that I never tweeze, shave or even bother to trim my eyebrows. I know that it gets women's panties in a twist, since they actually desire to obtain the highest qualities of beauty for whatever reasons...

Yes it turn me off too. I never touch my eyebrows, it come out natural. I don't see many homos have them here in Phoenix.

In my opinion, "overtweezed" eyebrows are feminine. If a guy wants to look that way, fine.

When I was about 40ish, I had to start trimming my eyebrows because the hair started growing too long (like the villains in silent movies). I also trim a little between them to avoid the single eyebrow look.

My eyebrows are the fullest bits of hair on my head, so I have to keept them right.

I think there is a balance. I have thick, not bushy, eyebrows. I make sure to keep them tweezed to avoid a uni brow and trim them to not be too long. I still look like I have thick eyebrows. I just look a little better groomed. Its part of the manscaping. Guys should be careful about waxing to remove large bits of hair. I get waxing kits to get rid of the stray hairs. It think I look million times better when I am kept up.

You just don't want to look like a mexican teenaged girl who has done the whole shave your eyebrows off rite of passage...

Thank you for the light topic!

I used to have to bisect a unibrow, but I seem to have beaten it down several years ago. Aside from that I do ocaissionally get a wax just to clean up a little. My main request is usually "I don't want to look constantly surprised or like an old woman."

Two words: knock it off!

i think unibrows (on the right person) are very sexy. but i think any hair, anywhere, deserves a little trim if its out of control (ex - nothing worse than long wirey hairs reaching out like branches from under an arm pit), which is a matter of personal taste of course.

I really don't like the high arched overly-manicured look that men are doing these days. It seems to be getting out of control. Nothing more unattractive than an otherwise very virile looking man with very short stubble on his face, great build, rugged and edgy good looks all to be spoiled by obviously arched eyebrows. I try to kindly tell these guys that they don't need to do that and that they are hotter with less "beautifying."

Trimming the length of eyebrow hairs is a different story. As we age these hairs can become too long and also there is a development of superfluous hairs that grow out of the ear canal and throughout other parts of the ear lobe and anatomy. Trimming the length of the eyebrow hairs to restore them back to what used to be what one had in his 20's or 30's makes a guy look well groomed. I think this is fine. But the arch has got to go.

I personally tweeze literally no more than 2 individual hairs from each brow. They just grow so low that it looks a bit odd and out of place. But I'm not trying to create some super arch to give Joan Crawford a run for her money.

swimbikerun saidTwo words: knock it off!

That's three words

..psst, it's eyebrows, not eye boogers ...

must confess I also hate it with a pasion it just looks ..... weird but each to their own

besides which they would have to use a weed whacker on mine!

I never remove anything from the perimeter of my brows. I do have to yank these super long crazy ones that show up every now and again or I'd end up looking like a Mentat or even worse, Leonid Breshnev.

I've always been terrified to go get them "cleaned up" because I'm scared they'll come out looking too neat and unnatural.

I guess I just don't trust estheticians; so I usually just make sure there are two and leave them be. If a guy doesn't talk to me because of my eyebrows I feel like there are other reasons we wouldn't hit it off.

Lol! Glad to see I have at least one fan of my low-brow humor (for our friends across the pond that's: humour)

Nothing turns me off faster than overly tweezed eyebrows. I don't know why but it's actually a deal breaker for me.

I hate it. Sure, separate. But when guys have formed lady-like brows, it's a total turn-off.

Coincidentally, I was just surprised at a coffee shop by someone I'd been chatting with online earlier today. Apart from the uneasy feeling that I was being kinda stalked, I was completely distracted by his perfect, obviously waxed eyebrows. I don't know why I find that so unattractive but it really does completely turn me off.

But then I don't get pedicures either.

I'm in favor of keeping the 'brows cleaned up, but if you look permanently startled like Ms. Crawford up there...

I am one of those guys that gets his eyebrows threaded once a month and while relaxing I feel it makes me look more fresh faced.

It probably also helps that I have a beautiful, medium breasted, indian woman massage my temples, brow area and forehead before and after to prepare and calm the area.

They are never pencil thin or remotely close. Just clean. Actually you can probably see in that pic of mine harharhar.

I'm going to have to admit, my eyebrows grow into a unibrow, so I just HAVE to tweeze a little between my eyes, but just enough to get rid of the unibrow... I don't tweeze anywhere else.

You mean you meant to do that

That's racial...
















So of course I laughed.

I really dislike obviously shaped and over-groomed eyebrows on men. Clean up the unibrow and that's it.

I do shape mine, but I don't think it's over done. Just enough that I avoid looking like Weird Al in the 80's.

I'd at least have to do it to get rid of the unibrow.

Yea I mean I clean 'em up, but there's no shaping or anything. If they look like women's eyebrows it is unsettling

If I didn't trim mine occasionally I'd look like Thufir.

compelling stuff.

I like guys who trim and tweeze but only if they just do it to clean up... over eyebrow tweezing just doesn't look right to me BUT amen to those who love it.

Sexy eyebrows!!!!!

BostonVball saidYea I mean I clean 'em up, but there's no shaping or anything. If they look like women's eyebrows it is unsettling

right on!

I just have them cleaned up when I get haircuts - nothing weird or severe. Same with any hairs on or in the ears - I just have the guy get rid of them.

the only reason i would change mine is to make them look like whentworth millers and only if it were to look good on me lol and im guessing thats a no so inconclusion im not touching mine!!!!!!!

I can understan if a guy gets their unibrow plucked, but other than that i'm not a fan of getting the eyebrow's done. Heck...i have to force myself to get a haircut most of the time.

I'm too busy checking out the bulges in the pants to notice eyebrows. For the life of me I can't picture in my mind my boyfriend's eyebrows but that big cream filled sausage of his is burned into my memory.

Biggest turn off.

I mean if you need to fix your unibrow, do it in a way that you can tell. I clean up the edges every other day but completely 100% not noticeable. Straight guys do this here too.

There's nothing wrong with a little grooming, but for gods sake, look like a man.

I think my eyebrows are too bushy, but I never want to do anything to them because I don't want to look like a girl. What do you guys think? Is there a good way to shape em or trim em where it doesn't look girlish?

Over trimmed and shaped eyebrows are a turn off for me though, to answer the question.

If you are a woman its fine.

Gawd mate, get with a bloody wooky and get over it!

I looked shocked half the time anyway, I don't need to tweeze them to do it, so I wouldn't dare touch them anyway.

Besides there the only thing thats big on me.

There is nothing wrong with a little bit of eyebrow grooming, but no drag queens eyebrows allowed!

Some guys go a little too far with the eyebrow grooming and look continually surprised and perplexed! Like a walking exclamation mark! When they look at me I'm thinking "What is it now? What's wrong?"

Sorry...

Over-tweezed and men should never be found in the same sentence

Tweez never. Trim yes. But being so fair, hair other than on the head has never been an issue for One.

But it's when they look like a drag queen, out of costume. it's to much. So long as it looks natural, and manly.

BabiGayPimp saidSome guys go a little too far with the eyebrow grooming and look continually surprised and perplexed! Like a walking exclamation mark! When they look at me I'm thinking "What is it now? What's wrong?"

Those are drag queen brows!

You'd be surprised that that practice is pretty much common with Arab men and Persians! It just looks ridiculous!
Remember that Latino contender in that Bravo Gay Reality TV show "Boy Meets Boy"? He turned out to be straight! LOL

I have tiny weye brows..that are all archy...and gay...I HATE THEM WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING!

onmyway saidNot a fan. If the guy just has to do it, moderation is preferred.

Though I've never understood guys that over-tweeze and over-manicure their eyebrows yet grow their chest hair. The juxtaposition confuses me.

maybe it's for the contrast; like looking at an albino midget standing next to Shaquille O'neal.

So guys like that surprised look I suppose. LOL.

I don't find anything wrong with it since int can really make a difference in a person's appearance. To be honest som people do need to wax, twizz or whatever....no one likes a unibrow.

AS to the hairy chest vs over twozzed eyebrow thing.
You can hide a chest alot easier then you hide a brow since no one alive has x-ray vision plus a haiy chest is very sexy (on some people).

Lenne saidI have tiny weye brows..that are all archy...and gay...I HATE THEM WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING!

My eyebrows are like yours I think? Many my friends call me meany face, because my eyebrows look mean.

Thanks I like the meany eyebrow look lol.

hehehe man...

I like masculine guys, and don't think "manicuring" (??, mani=hand) your eyebrows makes u masculine at all.

A man is that: non-manicured hands, non-pedicured feet, not-tweezed eyebrows, non-shaved chest.

If you have long nails, then clip'em and that's it, for god's sake!

why do you have to wax your eyebrows???? what's next step: using mascara? red nail polish? pink lipstick? cutting our dicks off and putting a vagina instead? ohh sorry, that's already being done...

big turn ON for me: regular GUYS, with man hands, manly body, a clever mind, sporty and not into this crazy metrosexual/Idon'thavemoreinterestingstufftodothanwaxingmyeyebrows stuff

waxing their eyebrows...

I'm completly in favour of keeping your eyebrows groomed. As many have stated, you have to find that fine line that works for you. Check out Shia LaBeouf brows on the cover of GQ perfectly groomed and waxed without going over the edge... just how I like them.

P.S DJ Bens is a hottie and I would do him with or without brows

One of my eyebrows grows a much higher peak than the other, making me look like I've raised it intentionally. Years ago, I started plucking the top of it just to even it out. I was tired of always looking like I was about to say "You're not going to wear that, are you?" I am always thinking that, but that's beside the point.
