Movember - men's health awareness month Oct 31, 2011
Ok, so October was Breast Cancer Awareness month, now in November it's the turn of the boys, as we can't forget their bits :lol:

Every year many men take part in Movember, basically where they grow their facial hair without shaving it for the entire month. They get sponsors and raise cash for men's health charities and awareness campaigns.

So come on male Duffers, grow yer bits :D

It's been going to quite a few years now. Google and lots of sites come up about it.

I had the misfortune to interview an elderly lady yesterday. I could barely concentrate on what she was saying as she had an assortment of whiskers sprouting from her chin.

I wondered if she's had them all of her adult life or had her sight deteriorted in later life.

Now I realise she may have been supporting Mens cancer awareness month. I won't think so harsh thoughts next time.

I do also wonder about those things. I know a couple of younger girls who have pretty obvious dark facial hair and some whiskers and I often think, why the heck they are getting them removed - pretty much everyone notices them.

This drives me 'bonkers':

1. Nose hairs showing! :pukeleft: :pukeleft:

2. Hair on ears - men more guilty of this.

There are others...

Wild bushy eyebrows aswell Ambassador! It's just sloppy grooming :(

It also reminded me of the general's reason for binning his girlfriend, in the Most Shallow topic. Her lone nipple hair. That still makes me LOL when I even think about it,.

I don't know but I am 'suspicious' of men who trim/groom their eyebrows :o

At Wild Wadi :shock: I have to presume it was a real woman then general!

Dr BM would diagnose polysistic ovaries and advise the lady to see her doctor ASAP as this condition will seriously hamper her child baring posibilities.
