Why don't men clip their nose hairs?
:shrug:

It just sucks seeing dangling nose hairs flickering in the wind from about 3 feet away. Same could be said about some women and I know not all men don't clip their nose hairs but they are definitely in the minority.

just asking...................

1. Because men rarely look at other noses and therefore don't think about it
Also, some of us have nose hairs that grow every couple of hours so we'd need to carry clippers with us at all times to keep them out of sight

4. My nose sometimes has hairs trying to escape
it sucks when someone else points them out.

22. You made my point!
I know of no woman (or gay man for that matter) into the nose hairs. Other hair is subject for to personal preference but the nose hairs pretty much have to go. :D

that we had to provide the opposite gender with at least one honest reason for complaint.

12. because it's easier to pluck them? tweezers are easy and fun! Around the time...
...I started dating, I remember reading an article somewhere that said if you have visible nose hairs, your date will never hear a word you say.

24. Go ahead just try to pull one of those hairs out!
I would rather have my manhood caught in a mouse trap, it would hurt less.

Rotery nose hair trimmer is the only way to go IMO. And even that can cause great pain, all those freshly cut hairs will have a rasor point on them.

I always knew that if I had to cry on cue, I could pull one of those nose hairs and the tears will roll. Not kidding. :hi:

14. They probably don't even notice
Same goes with ear hair. I finally broke down and bought my first electric nose hair clipper this year because the nostril hedges were getting too unruly (I'm 37, straight, and not the metrosexual type). And even then I still forget to trim the buggers on a regular basis.

Edited on Wed May-30-07 02:43 PM by Hardhead
Do you have any idea how many years it takes to get a good one going?

I know what you mean, though. I have a friend who has some horrid ones. I refuse to be seen in public with him most of the time. I have to trim mine every couple of weeks. I hate doing it.

20. I've been doing that for years, along with the ears and
"potential unibrow hair", but then again, I trim in lots of areas that plenty of men probably don't even think about!

25. I regularly pull nose hair growing on the outside of my nose.
While growing up I was afraid I would have a nose like Tip O'Neal, a big red strawberry nose.
Its not big or red but it does want to grow its own beard.

I have said too much.

Many of us are just trying to get ahead of the style curve.

As for me, I'm envisioning nose hair corn rows.
