The Black Crows (Feet) – Man Looks in Mirror and Screams
Yes, boys, it happens to us too. It’s up to you to decide whether to embrace the signs of age as rugged manliness, or succumb to the cosmetic surgery revolution.
As you gaze longingly into the mirror, turning to this side, then the other, admiring those contoured biceps, flexing your sculpted pectorals, worshipping what you believe to be the Adonis-like proportions that make you a true man… you notice something around your eyes. Lines. Tiny little creases that look like the feet of a bird. And then the image of your sumptuous, youthful masculinity crumbles into a zillion little pieces as you realize that age could possibly be starting to rear it’s head on your very own… around the eyes to be precise.
Okay, so that’s the extreme scenario. But let’s face it, guys, we can be just as afraid of nature’s effects as our female counterparts, and it can hit us like a monster-truck when we first notice it.
Many men aren’t concerned at all with how they look, but a great number of males these days partake of the metrosexual aesthete, dressing well and lookin’ hot.
One option for men freaking out about crows feet is cosmetic surgery, such as brow lift, dermal wrinkle fillers (BOTOX® Cosmetic, Juvederm™, etc.) and others. These can be effective in smoothing out the wrinkles and giving your face a more youthful sheen.
But remember, gentlemen, cosmetic enhancement is a major decision that should not be made lightly. And as we age, the signs will continue to come back.
Also, keep in mind, some of those extra lines don’t just signify age, to some, they read as experience, wisdom, intellect, and sexiness. The rugged-looking male can be incredibly attractive to both sexes, so don’t be too quick to get rid of those well-earned fine lines… they may make you an even bigger hit than you were before.
