    Worrying that your eyelashes are too long is about as far from alpha as it’s possible to get.

      I trim my eyelashes to prevent them from hitting my glasses which causes eye strain. My Opthalmologist keeps saying I should stop, and then offers no workable alternative.

      Yeah, now I’m thinking about eyelashes and they’re starting to seem alien.

    I did this(with scissors) when I was 5 or so because I was told I had beautiful eyelashes, being the manly man I was at 5 I couldn’t be beautiful so I cut them off.

    These bros ain’t alpha they are 5yos in mens bodies.

      I did the same when I was like 5. Not because I didn’t like being feminine (I am literally trans now) but because an eyelash got in my eye and I decided that I was going to solve my own issue by myself.

      I tried to pull mine out at around age 6 because at a cowboys football game a stranger told me she wanted my lashes and she was gonna steal them.

    Having your eyelashes trimmed to appear less feminine is the same energy as getting fake lashes or putting on mascara to appear more feminine. If you need your eyelashes trimmed, your beard sculpted, your hair gel’d, and your tan sprayed on just so you can look more masculine, I think you might be missing the forest for the trees, my guy. Absolutely nothing wrong with being concerned about your hygeine and appearance, but let’s not pretend that this is the rugged masculinity you think you are portraying. Surprised the Alpha Bros came up with it, not the Queer Eye dudes.

      I’m masculine because I stink and I leave my beard in whatever weird shape my cat licks it into.

      I love grooming my beard and shaping it up. I’ll spend a decent amount of time doing in the bathroom making it just right. Not because it makes me manly, but because I like it and even more importantly, my lady likes it. And any manly man knows that making your significant other happy is the manliest fucking thing possible.

      The Queer Eye guys didn’t come up with it because they knew how stupid it would probably look.

    These guys are sure looking at other men and finding them so attractive a lot. Maybe they are worried about something else and should talk to somebody about those feelings so that they can live comfortable in their own skin.

    They’re trying to make themselves attractive to each other. A woman would love a guy’s nice lashes, but they wanna look good for their bros

      You make a good point about the compliment. A former girlfriend complimented mine once. Although I’m not sure if it was fully a compliment or maybe some jealousy. But, the compliment stuck, and I occasionally recognize this myself when I look in the mirror!

    I’m… aged. And ever since I discovered sex was a thing, I discovered that my stupidly long eyelashes were both atractive to women and a very good conversation starter, as I would be randomly complimented/asked about them.

    Let your eyelashes be. Good for looks and protection!

    If you’re constantly looking at the world in a sexual way … the problem isn’t the world. It’s you.

    Women have told me they love my long eyelashes since I was a teen. I’ve never felt the need to shave them.

    Further: biology and evolution developed these to protect my eyes. What idiot goes against that?

    I’m the most alpha man in the room. /s

    I’m also the only man in the room.

    Had a coworker once who in a presumably meth fueled rampage removed every single hair from his body down to plucking his eyelashes. Dude looked like a lizard afterwards. Favorite story about him was his explicative filled rant on the radio, being broadcast to everybody in lift ops with a radio on them, about how he thought minors at the coffee shop were trying to sleep with him.

    Maybe I am especially oblivious, but I have never in my entire life noticed another person’s eyelashes.

    I have fairly dense and long eyelashes, don’t give a fuck because I am secure in my identity.

    How you could be so insecure that your long eyelashes make you feel like less of a man is beyond me. Real beta insecurity to have.
