Mansome vs. Boys Will Be Boys

     In the article Boys Will Be Boys by Guy Garcia, he talks how companies try to advertise to "The Average Man". He goes on to explain that there really is no such thing as an average man because all men are so different and enjoy different things and have different styles. This is also shown in the Mansome documentary because they gave men different topics and many responded different ways. An example is shaving their body. Some said that they did and they liked it while others said they let it grow out because they don't care. 

     In the article, Garcia also talks about metro sexuality. This is when men are almost obsessed with grooming themselves and looking good, something that females are generally known for rather than males. The article talks about how this has become a sort of slur and has a negative connotation. In the video, this is sort of proven because many of the men in the video agreed that metrosexual has become a bad term and one of them said that he didn't know anyone who would be proud to be a metrosexual. 

     Boys Will Be Boys also mentioned how men's magazines are becoming more and more like women's magazines. It states that these magazines are, "serving up testosterone-ized versions of women's magazine staples on beauty, health, and relationships." Mansome also describes this concept and said that men's magazines are treating men how women's magazines treat women. They do this by placing strong expectations on them such as having good abs, big muscles, good hair, etc.
