One that always annoyed me is when it is around the holidays, when stores advertise gifts for men. They always assume a guy is into toilet humor, beer humor, assuming they’re a lumberjack who needs to survive out in the wilderness, are into bbq-ing all of the time so gotta have those available all year around for some reason.

Even when I used to have identified myself as a guy, I never once fit into any of those traits. Just because guys grow beards, doesn’t always mean they’re chopping wood somewhere and always wearing plaid.

    Could do but I never did and have not really had any issues. She is constantly nagging me that I need to do skincare but I just cannot be bothered to do it for no gain. I do sometimes moisturise but that is it.

      Definitely don’t start anything, no. If your skin is healthy you need to tell her that starting now with a bunch of chemicals that the skin isn’t used to will more likely do damage than good if anything.

        Ive recently started bathing every day because my toddler insists I get in the bath with her. I’m more rash than man until my system gets used to it.

          I’m not sure you should be bathing your toddler every day? 😳 How come so often?

          Our kids bathe once a week or so, depending on necessity. But at least once a week. I did too at their age, and they don’t smell or have any hygiene issues, just as I didn’t.

          Their hands, arms, and feet [edit: and face] get dirty more than the rest of their bodies, so those get washed more frequently, but in isolation.

          Leave something for the immune system to practice on, I guess. 😅

              Still bathing every day though? I won’t act like I know your situation, but you’re at least aware of the possibility of over-bathing, that’s all I’m concerned about for (both of) you. 😁👍 Take care!
