Men are also vain

Anyone who ever thought that only women are vain is completely wrong because men are too. We guys don't use layers of powder, nor lipstick and in general we don't like all kinds of fragrances.

When I look around in Thailand and watch my peers, we even look somewhat slovenly compared to the female sex. I can actually omit the word somewhat because I often come across individuals who instill fear. Of those muscular guys with almost bare upper body with the necessary gold-colored decorations and richly tattooed. No doubt they are very vain men who like to show their torsos.

Currently spend a week in Pattaya, so maligned by some and praised by others. It's a feast for the eyes what's going on there. That is the only reason why Pattaya is an attraction.

Facial massage

In the Mike Shopping Mall, my eye catches a space that specializes in facial massage. Judging by the clientele, the business, listening to the name Takashi Tokyo facial massage, is doing excellently. You can watch it all from the outside and admittedly it looks very neat and professional. Neat beds, on which you can lazily perch and let your face be pampered by the ladies dressed in snow-white clothing. Glancing inside, I notice that the clientele consists of almost exclusively men. Conclusion: we men are no less vain than women.

A medical touch

Takashi covers the massage with a medical touch. The skin is exposed daily to the sun and especially to pollution. Of course you have to do something about that is the message. The facial treatment also stimulates blood flow to the deepest layers of the skin. And if that wasn't enough, the facial muscles are also being treated. With this advanced technique and ointments, wrinkles are minimized, resulting in a radiantly young appearance.
And to be honest, I wanted to experience that too. For an hour I had my face treated by young soft female hands, supplemented with creams, steam and a real mask.

The result

Believe it or not, I felt reborn with the appearance of a young Adonis. With a radiant smile on my face I walked back via beach road to my hotel. And the result was impressive because everywhere I heard the ladies who crowded the bars I passed shouting; “Welcome, welcome.”

    Hi Joseph,

    Yes, why not?
    A man's skin also needs its care, especially with the daily aftershave, which still contains alcohol.
    And regular good cleaning is actually a must for men, especially in d
    e tropics.
    It is a coincidence that we talked about this case last Friday with the wife (Thai) of a friend of ours (Dutch).
    She paid for a treatment there, 1 hour, 300 Baht and I think I saw a price somewhere of 490.- Baht.
    What did you pay Joseph?

    Greetings,

    LOUISE

      Hi Louise, all treatments last one hour but the price depends on the treatment you choose. Indeed, there is a lowest price of 299 baht rising to 1200 baht and more. I took the middle way and lost 699 baht for it. Just wanted to experience it.

    Yes, men are also vain these days, I see it with my grandchildren, they both have a boyfriend
    and they regularly stand in front of the mirror, go to the hairdresser and tanning bed almost every week.
    I myself think this is highly exaggerated they look like ladies, but it must be this time I've never seen that before, but then I had never heard of a tanning bed.
    On time in the bath and a nice scent then it's good for me too.

    Hi Joseph,
    The result surprises me a bit, did the ladies not shout “welcome, welcome” before or did you not have your hearing aid on???Haha

    The 'operation' is of course only successful if you are subsequently addressed with “hi, handsome man”. Or do the ladies sometimes say that to almost all passing men?

    This trend is already over. Now you have to act like a real man again. Being completely primal again. So chest hairs, armpit hairs can grow again and chop a lot of wood on your day off just to impress. Get rid of the resin plasters and rejuvenators. Wrinkles make the modern man. The hype of the Metrosexual man is really history.
