Does your man like pamper nights?

My lovely DP just walked in from golf and asked if we can do a pamper night tonight. Face masks, teeth whitening, pedicure and waxing his beard. I think it's really sweet and makes my heart melt. Anyone else's man like this behind closed doors?

@Wiccan - I think you mean that "some" women do it. In all my 50+ years on this planet I have never had a pamper night and don't intend to start now. Thank goodness DH feels the same otherwise it would be a massive ick.

Just remembered that episode of Friends where Ross wants a bubble bath while listening to Kenny G 😂

Ok " Some Women " . I'm a hair stylist and beauty therapist so really don't care which sex it is . I make a living from it so I'm happy .

My partner is more likely to ask me to rub his feet, pick his back and then give him a blow Job but each to their own I suppose

I think there’s a happy medium to be found here….

Is it always in that order or does he mix it up?

What is ‘picking his back’ or am I being thick and it’s a euphemism for some sex act?

My DH does do it . Hence my earlier post
"Been doing it for years " 🙄

😂 no. It’s not my idea of fun either. “Pamper”. Hate that word. 😂

Go Away What GIF by Film Riot

Makes me think he wants to be dressed in nappies and be fed bitty 🤣

It's hilarious how some posters have a prob with the word "Pamper " while using the term "ick" 🤣🤣

pheonixrebirth · 25/03/2023 17:26

A couple of ex,s liked a face pack every now and again. I liked it, they weren't arsed about their masculinity coming into question and these were masculine guys.

It pissed me off more that I'd have to watch out for them using whatever new lotion or potion I'd just bought!

CurleyMango · 25/03/2023 17:36

Crikey no. What a thing. No way on earth

I’m picturing your DP as Rylan, OP.

If Rylan's teeth were any brighter, you could use him to send signals to the moon

And Rebecca Vardy could be sitting in a lunar crater flashing signals back.

Luredbyapomegranate · 25/03/2023 17:40

No that would be a hard LTB from me.

But I think this is a joke thread designed to get loads of these responses.

Yes?

ClassicLib · 25/03/2023 17:41

You must be joking! 🤣

My DP’s idea of a ‘pamper night’ would be a huge steak, a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape, a cheeseboard, a large Islay malt and a cigar.

Maybe their issue is ideological? ‘Pamper’ suggests pleasure and self-indulgence, and it’s pretty problematic that the term is increasingly used to mean ‘time-consuming and/or expensive grooming intended to enhance gendered self-presentation’ according to prevailing norms’.

Keeween · 25/03/2023 17:46

Good lord, no. I’d think he’d had some sort of serious brain injury if he came home one night and suggested that 🤣 I wouldn’t be into it either.

TheChosenTwo · 25/03/2023 17:47

Absolutely not. If I want to do a face mask and paint my nails I do. It’s not a team activity. I’d find it very unattractive if he started primping and preening himself. He’s very hygienic but I like a burly rough round the edges man, not a man who wants a pedicure, teeth whitening and a face mask.
My dh would dream of a night like @ClassicLib‘s dp (swap the whisky for a brandy), in fact he’s having it tonight! He’s cooking it though.

What is waxing a beard? Itsounds like a euphemism Hmm

Hbh17 · 25/03/2023 17:50

Goodness me, no! He'd rather have his leg chopped off - as indeed would I. Neither of us would ever want to do anything like this, alone or together.
Each to their own, I suppose.....

Minimummonday · 25/03/2023 17:52

this makes me want to vomit. Pick his back and give him a blow job? Jesus Christ….

EspeciallyDedicated · 25/03/2023 17:54

No, he has probably never heard of a pamper evening as its not something I do either. He doesn't use cosmetics other than the essentials (deodorant, shower gel etc).

grayhairdontcare · 25/03/2023 17:56

It would give me the ick

Branster · 25/03/2023 17:59

Having just had a very long and complex 'pamper' afternoon, no way would I want to share that time with my sister, my mother or my children let alone my DH.

It's my own time, rhythm and a million steps and procedures.

If my DH wanted to do any pampering on his own or with me, it would so put me off him. No issues with him playing golf though.

Can you even wax a beard, surely it must be incredibly painful!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 25/03/2023 18:01

My dh wouldn’t have the faintest idea what a ‘pamper night’ is. TBH I would run a mile from anything with the word ‘pamper’ in it myself - I feel about that word the same as a lot of MNers feel about ‘moist’.
