Spas For Men Springing Up In Some Areas

	posted by Nightmist on Thursday October 04, @03:59PM from the men's-health dept.
	Getting pampered in a spa used to be a mainly female pasttime, according to this short article, but now many men are starting to look for places of their own to improve their health and appearances. Enter a Parisian spa for men, which this fall is opening a spa for men in New York. It's a response to the growing numbers of guys sheepishly seeking help at traditional spas and cosmetic counters. "The idea is that men are too intimidated or embarrassed to ask the saleslady at Nordstrom about the bags under their eyes," says Sarah Anderson of the Grooming Lounge.

I say get pampered every chance you can! by Rams on Thursday October 04, @06:42PM EST (#1) (User #191 Info) I am the residence hall director for a co-ed building that houses 150 undergrads. The Health Education department on campus was gracious enough to put together a promotion for resident assistants that they called the "Love Your Body Spa Social." The folks at Health Ed put together these kits that included aroma therapy pouches, exfoliating creams, mud masques, mood music, and a packet of info about ways to take good care of your body. This was a great social! It was also an almost completely female social. One of my male RAs and one of his male residents were the only guys there besides myself. I have to tell you that it's a pretty nice process. It seems a bit long when you're a guy--all the scrubbing and oiling and treatments--but the process leaves you feeling relaxed and convinced that you are in a better physical state somehow than you were before (I mean, you can't go through all that crap and not have it do something, right?) Guys should be doing this kind of thing more often. Purposeful time spent rejuvenating the body combined with the social aspect of the whole thing that I witnessed should not be limited by associating it as a women's activity. The jury's still out on getting your nails done. How am I gonna' get this stuff off my toes...
