Why Manicures Increase a Man’s Sex Appeal
Let’s be honest – men don’t usually have the most comprehensive approach when it comes to personal grooming.
Most guys are attentive when it comes to the basics, such as their hairstyle, facial hair, and clothing, but they let things like body health and sometimes even personal scent fall to the wayside.
Other aspects, such as nail care, are rarely addressed at all – which many men are now realizing has only been hurting them in the long run.
And with Spring just around the corner, this might be the perfect time to be intentional on boosting your sex appeal with some extra self-care in your nails and grooming.
Why The Increased Interest in Personal Grooming?
Men’s personal grooming is booming – and you don’t have to take our word for it.
Instead, look at the money. Charts show that the global men’s grooming product market has been steadily rising for the past few years, a trend projected to only increase through 2024.
From 2007 to 2017, Men’s spa attendance went up 16%, according to the International Spa Association. Guys are leveling up their game and adding to their grooming routines, which has improved the awareness of the benefits of getting a Manicure.
What is a Manicure?
A manicure is a nailcare process that involves cutting, shaping, and filing the nails of your hand, followed by the pushing back of your cuticles and a nice hand massage and moisturizing to round out the whole process.
“Manicures” are relatively short, taking about 45 minutes to an hour to be completed. AskMen estimates a fair price to be about $20-50 for each servicing.
Why a Manicure?
Part of the growing self-care, body positivity, and men’s care movements is an appreciation for our bodies and what they do for us day in and day out. Manicures give you some time to care and rejuvenate one of your most used body parts.
Beyond those holistic benefits, there are more concrete health benefits to getting a manicure as a man.
- Improved blood flow
- Reduced stress
- Eliminating fungal infections
- Removal of dead skin cells
…are all reasons that men are growing more and more fond of manicures.
How Does All This Boost Sex Appeal?
The benefits of manicures for yourself are numerous. Here’s how they can indirectly impact your ability to find a partner as well:
- You’re cleaner. This one is an obvious benefit, but it’s not obvious how quickly someone can notice the dirt collecting under your nails or how some of your nails are a little darker than the others. Trust us: they do.
- Your skin is better. No peeling hangnails to cover when you notice eyes flicking down towards your hands; no need to worry about what they’re feeling when your skin brushes up against theirs. You’re good.
- You’ve heard of look better, feel better. Have you heard of feel better, look better? The more comfortable you are in your body, the more at ease you are in social situations, the more attractive you are to those around you.
- Once you go down the personal grooming rabbit hole, there’s no end. It’s not like you’re going to shower once a week, keep your clothes un-ironed and disheveled, but still go for a manicure on a regular basis. Positive habits breed positive habits, and starting with manicures could be your gateway to personal grooming habits that potential partners find impossible to resist.
