This isn’t true- I’ve gone out with a few guys who were 30-33 and they each trimmed. I honestly didn’t realize that was odd for a guy over 30. Hrm.

I don’t think he waxes/shaves the full monty…but I do think he probably cleans it up a bit. I don’t know why.

I have to wonder if a Secret Service agent read this thread as part of a ‘what the crazies online are saying about the president’ detail.

And what they put in their report…

My WAG is American; I don’t think she’d go Brazillian and just imagine the scandal if word got out that she picked _French_ over a good-old patriotic American wax. :eek:
