Why do men get nosehair?!

[gh0st]

Gross!

What evolutionary purpose does this have anyway!!!

Stops all kinds of stuff getting up there. Sadly also stops stuff getting out too. Well worth grabbing a pair of tweezers and yanking out every one that has the temerity to grow beyond your nasal cavity. And none of that whining that it hurts, either. You'll get used to it, and it hurts less the more you 'groom'.

pull a few out at the same time - its very rewarding I find!

[dick dastardly]

And why are they the only hairs that when plucked hurt so bad they make your eyes water? I hate them!

Anybody else had a 'Mr. Bean' moment and got them trapped in the electric shaver...?

For nosehair wrestling!!

Grip your opponent's nasal hair while they grip yours, and pull after a countdown. The first to let go loses.



There were some very dull times when I was at Uni.

The quick (and I mean quick) burn and retreat method using a lighter will ensure the straggly ones get seen to. Leaves an odd smell for 20 seconds but sorts the job nicely.

I'll stick my nose under a gas stove then.....

Best use a razor blane....Mach3 seems to be the best. Carefully rub it round the inside of your nose et voila! No nasal buggery hairs!

PLEASE GOD NO PICTURES!!!

Need a trim regularly.

Is it only men of a certain age responding to this black and slightly wirey thread??

I pull mine out (so to speak).

My body knows best.

It has decided over more recent years that it requires more nose hair, and it has therefore started producing it.

What worries me is what event in the future is it that will require 6 feet of nosehair that my body is preparing for?

Crikey, I get the new forest coming out of my lugs if I don't trim.

Its one of those things you're Dad never warns you about. Personally I use a Remington nose hair trimmer - fantastic. I get the wife to pluck my wingnuts, love is.......(sorry if too much detail here).

[Balmoral Green]

Yup, the time may soon be here when I have to buy one of these. Nose hair not too bad so far, but it makes my eyes water and wince plucking it, ears and eyebrows are still OK, but its only a matter of time.

Take a look at your ears while youre at it....that stuff sticks out like a bush!
Dunno what on earth could possibly be going to happen that requires such a growth of the stuff.....
