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?

Dh no, but ds29 does them with his girlfriend.

QuitRunningForThatRunawayBus · 25/03/2023 18:05

God no, I couldn't be with a man who wanted a 'pamper night'.

Do you wax his beard or does he wax his own? What happens while your teeth are being whitened, just sitting in silence?

They mime remarks at one another while whitening. Or communicate via the medium of modern dance.

Much wax confusion. This is beard wax. He's not pulling it out by the roots. Well I hope not anyway.

Between this and the "Does your laydeee treat you, fellas" I'm a bit 🤔

Yes, I’m imaging the OP’s bloke looking like this, only wearing golfing plus fours with a single white glove in his ass pocket.

I don't think it's seen as a Pamper Night as much as essential grooming (and probably an element of mammalian instinct/pair bonding) and self care.

Now, my ex would have been disgusted at the idea, but he turned out to be deeply closeted homophobic/racist and thought that white masculinity meant skanky nails, skin and hair and women who wore nail varnish, especially on their toes and dared to wear sandals were (his words) 'council estate whores'.

DW wanted to try a spa day, which included a massage. Was quite nice as a one off. Big fluffy robes etc, and a much nicer pool than the usual council one. Shan't do it again rigid though.

Hygiene equals yes
Pamper equals no

QueenBee1234 · 25/03/2023 18:42

Nope, and I definitely would be interested if he came home asking for a pamper night!

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 25/03/2023 15:47

I’m picturing your DP as Rylan, OP.

😂😂😂😂
I’d hate that myself (obvs I’ve never had to wax my beard)

HealthyFats · 25/03/2023 18:44

There's a lid for every pot 😉

ivfbabymomma1 · 25/03/2023 18:59

DH will do a face mask every so often but that's about it.

Firstly, I'd never be with someone who played golf. Secondly, I wouldn't be able to continue our active sex life if he asked me for a "pamper night" - my vagina would seal up.

Why wouldn't you be with someone who played golf?

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 25/03/2023 19:20

Golf is an automatic fanny-clamper, as far as I’m concerned.

MaryJean87 · 25/03/2023 19:21

He loves a back massage and a foot tickle but wouldn't be seen dead doing a face mask or anything like that or using the word pamper.

Xarrie · 25/03/2023 19:22

Nope. I'd find it a huge ick.

waterlego · 25/03/2023 19:34

Oh gosh no, this wouldn’t happen in our house. The only ‘pampering’ either of us indulge in is having a shower and cutting our nails. Don’t think you could really make an ‘evening’ out of that.

Spice it up and cut each others nails. 😂

AncientBallerina · 25/03/2023 19:36

At first I was thinking ‘no way’but I think it’s ‘no way’ to the procedures you mention. Then I remembered that in distant past we have done couple spa days a few times when we were in nice hotels. I can’t really imagine doing it now though although maybe we should! I couldn’t be arsed with a homemade one though. It would be too much like hard work. Yes Iam lazy unless highly motivated.
Slight aside - I’ve been to two medical specialists recently- both men and very nice and down to earth. They both had beautiful nails - they must have had manicures.Is this a thing now for middle aged men or just doctors maybe because they are examining people and are conscious of their hands? No shade at all - they looked well.

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’.

Possibly? but in my life it means to treat myself which I bloody well deserve .

Boomboom22 · 25/03/2023 20:28

That pic is of an entirely boring looking man, is he supposed to be especially attractive?

bussteward · 25/03/2023 20:29

MeinKraft · 25/03/2023 19:57

EVERY golfer?

Is he supposed to be a “mic drop, you’ll change your mind with this sex bomb”? Because surely he’s the golfing equivalent of Tim Henman? And he’s wearing khakis?
