“Patrick Bateman is probably the only heterosexual male portrayed in pop culture who gives a shit about how they look,” adds Joshua Headtham, 35, another city worker who recently got into skincare.
Sharing most for that quote. Think about it. The only media depiction of a straight guy who cares about skincare is a psychopathic killer who eats women’s brains.
Fun Fact: A dude came to the spa I work at and asked “is it gay for a man to get a facial?”
I responded with men have faces too.
Dudes have skin that had needs just like everyone else who has an epidermis. I think sometimes they forget that.

That’s bullcrap. The Fonz gave a shit about how he looked.
Alex Osias The Fonz was always perfect. We never saw him actually groom.
Also “cares what he looks like” is not the issue.
Mark Delsing well, there’s actually that scene in the opening credits where you see him look in the mirror about to comb his hair, then realize he already looks good…
How is ‘care what you look like’ not the issue?
I mean, your skin doesn’t need a full regimen of scrubs and moisturisers unless you want to look ‘good’, that is, up to a certain standard that other people in your society expect (and that fashion mags and the cosmetics industry promote). There are probably 4 or 5 billion people on the planet who put skincare last on their priorities list.

Alex Osias But he never actually combs his hair. His grooming is Fonzie magic. Also: not really relevant.
Jeff Zahari Sure, how about we just concern ourselves with the other 2-3 billion people to whom this may be relevant.
So, either I am not making myself clear, or people are not reading the article or getting the point, so I am closing this thread down.
