A facebook friend recently went with with his lady to get a pedicure and it raised the question of men getting pedicures. Did you know that our feet are the generally the most neglected part of our bodies? They withstand all the pressure and weight of our bodies on a daily basis and should be cared for regularly...

The truth is many men receive pedicures. They understand the importance of foot care and this includes men from all areas of life, which quickly removes the stereotype of metro and homosexuals being the only men who do this wonderfully relaxing therapeutic service

   This prompted me to give men (and the women who love them) a good list of reasons to get manicures and pedicures:

1. Sexy Factor: Let’s face it, when a man takes pride in the way they look, it is sexy.  Granted, being obsessed about one’s looks is NOT attractive, but taking pride in one’s appearance says he cares just enough.
2. It Feels Good: Although the actual manicures and pedicures feel good on their own, most come with a short massage component which makes them feel that much more wonderful. 
3. Stress Release: Taking an hour or so to get a manicure and pedicure can give a man some down time to chill and take his mind off some of the pressing issues he has to deal with.  This is good for a healthy heart!
4. Healthy Feet and Hands: During a pedicure, dead skin is exfoliated away, helping to diminish callusesand potential dead skin build-up that can lead to bigger problems down the line.  During both manicures and pedicures, the cuticles are cleaned up, which eliminates painful and unsightly hang nails.
5. It Looks Good: If a man is tough on his hands and feet (construction workers are a great example of this), they can end up looking a bit worn and unattractive.  Getting regular manicures and pedicures will help keep hands and feet looking their best at all times.
6. A Softer Touch: This one really benefits women.  Getting manicures and pedicures promotes softer skin on the hands and feet, which makes his touch that much sweeter.

.  There are a lot of ‘manly men’ out there who seem to think it is manly enough.  Do you have any other reasons that you think men should indulge?
