It's better than a bush/ monobrow but excessive plucking might make you look like a girl.:p::biggrin:

Thats good to know, don't like too much makes me look a bit ridiculous. Its finding the time to do it I suppose too.

I met a guy who had the most amazing eyebrows last night. I found out today (from his friend) that he plucks his eyebrows. I don't know I just feel its a bit.... strange!
So, for me, as long as I don't know that the guy plucks his eyebrows (and plucks them well) I'm totally fine, because the idea of imagining him sitting infront of the mirror doing it kinda bothers me.
Yes.......Theres a difference between stopping the mono brow and spending hours trying to get them in the perfect shape. Just seems a bit girly to me.

Yes. That is same for me also. But why should it bother me?

Same goes for me... It may be that eyebrow-plucking is such a stereotypically 'girly' thing to do. :biggrin:

I think it's okay if it's just to get rid of a monobrow, beyond that it's unnecessary.
I agree it makes sense to get rid of a monobrow or excessively bushy eyebrows, but more than that and it'll probably make you look effeminate. It's not particularly masculine to have very delicate eyebrows.

I've always got my boyfriends into eyebrow plucking - it's just good grooming to my mind. Do it!

Do whatever makes you feel good about your appearance. I dont know why we have to split everything into gender appropriateness.

Fine. Why shouldn't men want nice sculpted brows too? It can make your whole face look better.

i just pluck inbetween my eyebrows to stop me having a monobrow
Ha ha I really want to pluck my brother's eyebrows just a little bit in the middle, but I don't think he would let me anywhere near them... :p:

Yup. C Ronaldo plucks his eyebrow. Look at a photo of him few years ago and look at one of him recently (these few months). You can see that nowadays his eyebrow look like a girl's.
I'd encourage it tbh. I hate messy eyebrows on men and women.

well i am a girl so personally if i saw a guy who had thinner eyebrows than me...id be a bitworried....DONT DO IT 2 URESELF!lol
doesnt it really hurt? that'd be my only objection
Mono-brows probably, but definatley no if your eyebrows are fairly normal looking, boys that pluck their eyebrows to the extent some girls do, looks really camp and you can tell that the boys love themself.
Just don't do it.
