We've declared @mr.bee as an honorary woman. You know... for being in touch with his feminine side. (It's a good thing Mr. Bee. Makes you that much cooler).
My DH is definitely not shy about letting his feminine side show. He loves getting facials, borrows/steals my body scrubs, has a favorite scent from Bath & Body Works, and likes satin pillows. It's all good.
Is your SO in touch with his feminine side?

Yep! 
He loves the SPA treatments! I've also treated him to mani's/pedi's and while he's not a regular; he def enjoyed it!
He also used to enjoy shopping for clothes. But nowadays says that it's boring because there isn't too many options for guys.

Honest to god between his bathroom primping and picking out an outfit hubs takes literally twice as long as I do to get ready!!! He is 6'6" and a former pro athlete but I think he's got a 17 year old girl trapped in him sometimes!

Um... nope! He's a total manly man. I wish he was! I've begged him many times to go get a pedicure with me but he refuses adamantly. 
I was able to get him into some better quality shaving creams and face washes though instead of using Irish Cream or whatever that bar soap is. He is much more anal about washing his hands than me though. He washes his hands ALL the time. Kind of drives me nuts to be honest, lol. But it could be worse I suppose!

@abbydabbydoodlebug: my husband does that too. And he loves antibacterial gel! If I eat something like popcorn or chips without washing my hands RIGHT AWAY he freaks out!

@mrsjyw: Oh yeah, forgot about those nose strips. My DH loved using those He would want me to pull it off slowly so that he can see every black pore gunk that came out and he'd study them under a lamp.

@MamaMoose: Yes! He asks me for anti-bac gel all the time when we are at restaurants. If I give him a look about it, he'll get up and go wash his hands in the bathroom, lol. I think it's something about the steering wheel? He always washes his hands when he gets home too. Even when I greet him all ready for "adult time" he goes and washes his hands first! I'm like, "really?"

No. But his massage therapist is a man. He's awesome, so I understand.

He likes massages and will sometimes exfoliate and do pore strips, but the strips are mostly to amuse me with all the nasty stuff that comes up. Other than that, he's one of those guys who takes 5 minutes to get ready. I was able to get him into a nice shave routine, though, with pre-shave oil and everything. He liked how smooth a shave it gave him.

I was going to say yes but then read pp so will say no. He doesn't primp, at all. He is sensitive, can cry and wears pink.

Hubs is totally in touch with his feminine side. I think it's endearing.

Sometimes, I think DH more in touch with his feminine side than I am. He cries at sappy songs, can express his emotions better, goes clothes shopping more than me and has just as many beauty products as I do (and I'm not sure how, 'cause it's not like he's wearing makeup.

He's more sensitive/sappy than I am but he doesn't do male pampering.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
Nope, not at all! His only *female* tendency is that he really likes shampoo and he always wants new shampoo and our shower stocked with different varieties for him. Funny!

DH is definitely not a girl-girl, but he does fulfill a lot of butch lesbian stereotypes...

My DH, bless his heart, is such a little fashionisto! He cares way more about how he looks and about fashion than I do. Sometimes his outfits are a little on the flashy side and it kind of embarrass me! Of course, we are so opposites - he's super preppy & I'm kind of a hippie. But even though I shake my head at some of the over the top stuff he likes, I really like having a husband that cares about how he presents himself, and I never have to worry about him not wanting to dress nice for occasions.

Nope. He doesn't shower on weekends unless he gets overly warm. I had to buy his beard trimmer (MONTHS into him having a beard.) If I don't cut his hair, it just keeps growing (he has a ponytail and very curly hair.) I throw out his shirts when they get holes and stains, I am the one who replaces his shirts and socks, and I had to buy sheets for his bed (and, of course, change and wash them.) I got the basic model. But he's a hardworking, good-natured, fun-to-be-around, attractive model.

Nope, not at all.
"Since it's Valentine's Day, I'm gonna wear deodorant."
-DH after he came home from work! ;D
