    Marketer’s use various tactics to get male consumers to buy their products. One way to get male consumers attention is thru celebrity endorsements. The article mentions an English soccer star named David Beckham. Beckham is sort of a spokesperson for metrosexuals. He paints his fingernails, braids his hair and poses for gay magazines, all while maintaining a manly profile and staying assured of his heterosexuality. Another way to get male consumers attention is by using clever packaging. The article refers to a man named Oliver Sweatman. He is the chief executive of Sharps, a new line of grooming products aimed at young urban men. According to Sweatman, in order to lure manly men to buy his new-age shaving gels- which contain roman chamomile, gotu kola and green tea- the packaging has to be clever. He uses a mixture of old and new imagery. The fonts recall the masculinity of an old barber shop, but a funny picture of a goat on the label implies something out of the ordinary.…

    In “Beauty (Re) Discovers the Male Body” by Susan Bordo, Bordo writes an analysis on the male body in advertising. Bordo discusses how in the society of advertising and fashion the male body isn’t really seen as a symbol of arousal compared to the female body. She continues saying how the naked or half-naked female body is seen as “an object of mainstream consumption” (p.299), while the male boy is just beginning to be a “commercial representation” (p.299) object. She also talks about how the percentage of people viewing these pictures with half-naked males mainly only increased in the male percentage of viewers instead of the females. Bordo continues by adding how women feel the need to look perfect due to the fact that they are always being judged by men based off their appearances and are always in fear of being called fat or ugly while men “are not supposed to enjoy being surveyed period.”(p.303)…

    Facial hair is a must. If a guy does not have facial hair as they get older, other males would make fun of them. That male would then not want to be in public. Men believe their appearance is more important to women. Men try to impress women so much when they don’t have to.…

    SATRACK was developed to validate and monitor the Trident missile guidance error model in the System Flight Test Program. It is the primary instrumentation and processing system responsible for accuracy evaluation of the Navy’s Strategic Weapon System. Instrumentation and processing systems available when the Trident Development Program began could not meet this need. APL conceived and led the development of the SATRACK system to fulfill this requirement. Prototype instrumentation required for the missile and ground station data collection functions were developed at APL to validate the concept, and we generated specifications controlling the development of the operating missile and ground station hardware. We also developed and operate the SATRACK processing facility, which includes a unique preprocessing hardware and software configuration and an extensive post processing analysis capability. Additionally, the APL satellite tracking facility has operated as a backup SATRACK recording site for all East Coast test flights since 1978. SATRACK fully met all its guidance subsystem evaluation requirements and also provided weapon system error model insights that would not have been possible without its unique ability to detect and allocate small error contributors to miss distances observed in the flight test program. SATRACK not only validated the Trident system accuracy, but the test-derived and -validated system error models have allowed the command authority to confidently assign and allocate targets to sea-based strategic resources.…

    Therefore, consumers are attracted to the image of a perfect male, rather than the product itself. Audience is encouraged go and buy the product, regardless of what it is, in order to be closer to that image and to be able to relate to it. Women will be driven by the desire to change the image of their partners, in order to be closer to the ‘perfect’ image. While men will purchase the product in order to be closer to the ‘perfect’ image as well, so they would appear to women…

    According to Public Disclosure, Men, on the other hand, inordinately desire muscle mass and muscular tone, leading in turn to steroid abuse and the dangerous over-ingestion of unregulated muscle-building supplements. In various advertisements where men are supposed to be selling fragrances or clothing, they are hypersexualized by the camera only focusing on their muscles, chiseled chest, and crotch area. 1000’s of advertisements are being broadcasted every day, so just imagine the plethora of objectification that is taking place. Having men exposed to this type of production will lead them to do anything in order to achieve this type of praise and/or recognition. This also intertwines with counter objectification, which is the phenomenon of women objectifying men feeding into men objectifying women creating a two-way street so neither can “complain”. This happens when younger men finally get an idea of how they are being treated in the media and become angry and start to show “sexual animosity”. This makes them develop an aggressive sexuality, which leads to negative consequences for both males and…

    To delve into the world of male masculinity is to open a can of worms. In the world we live in today, the “tough guise” persona is eroding against its own will. Men are becoming more feminine: they get facials, pedicures, and have spa trips. Aside from the frivolous things, however, men are finally beginning to open up more and become more understanding. There are also men fighting against this transformation. In my opinion however, this change hardly makes them less of a man. In fact, it makes them more of a man that women would want to be with. As Braid Paisley, the country singer, ever so eloquently puts it:…

    To sum it up, vanity is becoming a huge issue that is spiraling out of control. It’s becoming too much of a norm that both men and women don’t realize how socialization is “forcing” them into doing harmful things to their bodies. As a society, stereotypes of having the perfect body has to cease. Everybody has to be supportive and accepting of differences. People can’t continue to allow material culture to define what real beauty is. Every body type is made to shine and be acknowledged not criticized or publicly shamed.…

    When you see a very well-groomed man the majority of the time everyone assumes they are gay. Now in today’s day and age we have coined the term metrosexual. Metrosexual is just a way to describe a straight male who likes to groom himself. He likes to make sure he always smells good and has a clean hair cut.

There are now hundreds of products for men including fragrance sprays and bodywash so they can keep up their appearance.

    Many men today are more effeminate than earlier, interspersing social norms and Gender Roles. Effeminacy among men is an important and often understated cause of Gender Role Reversal. Male effeminacy is often scoffed upon and subject to ridicule by people who rigidly follow set 'norms' for social behavior. Femininity among men is characterized by long hair up to the shoulder, clean shaven body and an indulging in women accessories and mannerisms. Male femininity is not a recent phenomenon. It has been around for centuries. Yet, feminine men still face discrimination in the society and are ridiculed wrongly for their appearance. Male femininity though common in Westernized countries, is still scorned upon in Conservative and Traditional families as it is viewed as a sign of breaking off of values of the society. A typical feminine Male has long hair, shaven beard, legs and underarms, tinged with female perfume and clothing which are all characteristics of a female.…
