The Changes in The Millenarian Man's Appearance

In the essay “Beauty and the Beast” by Dave Barry is describing how women care more about their looks than men do. Women judge themselves harshly, and want to replicate the look of celebrity or figurines they found over. Barry construes how men may visualize what women should look like. Because men can be empty headed and a moron. Barry also describes men to do the bare minimum with achieving the look they want, while women go to extreme with their routine of beauty treatments. At the end of the text Barry is trying to convince women that men will not notice all the artistry they have done to themselves. This essay Dave Barry wrote in 1998 has changed as far as a man’s beauty goes. Meet the millennial man, saggy draws, man bun, fingernails with a perfect glow and always checking himself out in the mirror.

They are deep in the shampoo aisle in Target, carefully selecting that shampoo that will give them volume and soft hair, his nails buffed for that perfect glow, he is checking out the muscle magazine for how to get those great abs. Who is lurking in that cream aisle it’s the modern millennial man. In the present day, modern millennial men care more about their looks. You would think a little pampering were only for women but now they are more acceptable these days for men.

Beyond that testosterone there is estrogen sneaking its way out of a man. These artogenous men are very comfortable with their sexualtiy. They want to and think they look good, with their pants hanging down to their thighs, their hair in a bun that looks like a bee hive, and watching every move that is made is front of the mirror, to see how their abs look from each side. A Lot has changed since 90’s to the now look for men.

Women today are trying to figure out why guys where their pants to their thighs, while showing off their underwear. This kind of attire started in the prisons. Some prisoners disclose the reason why men do this in prison, is because it shows the other male prisoners they want to be tamed. Prison guards claim that they do not give any prisoners any belts to keep their pants from falling, because of suicides or killing a guard or other inmate. Do you think if men knew this on the outside of the prison system they would keep this type of style? Men have this technique on how to keep their pants on when it is lowered to their thighs. Inquiring Women would like to know how this is accomplished. It might be hard to understand this style that millennial men have copied from inmates. Probably the new generation of men will just wear underwear.

The luscious and enigmatic hairstyles the man has ever achieved in the late 2000’s is the man bun. There are many type of buns these millennial men have provided us to see. There is the full man bun, low man bun and the pineapple bun. The pineapple bun it's like a few pieces of hair wrapped into a band on top of the man's head, it looks like what when mothers put up their baby’s hair. Celebrities might have changed this new look of the man bun.

Watching television and there is Leonardo diCAprio making a speech about saving planet, but he is displaying the low man bun on his head. But back in the 70’s this man bun also was advertised my Jim Belushi when he did his samurai skit. But it was not a iconic fashion trend back then. Maybe guys want to hide their bald spot with this man bun trend. Hopefully this style is just a trend and not staying for long, either cut it, shave it or look like a head bangger, stop the man bun! Guys, buns look better in boxer briefs.

Having that gleam shine on your fingernail are not only for women now. The millennial man has been strutting around town with the glossy look too. There has been a lot of men with polished nails lately, pink, purple, and alligator styled nails. Rockstar usually painted their nails black or some hardcore nail color, but now these millennial men are going into a nail salons and getting the whole deal with all the trimmings. Maybe it's some new fad that celebrities started, maybe guys are reaching into their feminine side.

This is definitely very taboo because primping and pampering are a women's thing not a manly man's thing. These millennial men are probably experimenting in finding their true calling. Masculinity has lost its edge, and these millennial men have gotten too soft. Things have changed from the 90’s, the new man, these men going beyond just shaving and putting a comb through their hair. Millennial men are getting to know themselves in a deeper level, even if they find it hard to accost.
