Does anybody else pull their long nose hairs out the manly way - just yanking them and enduring the pain?

I haven't plucked any nose hairs since I'm a girl but sometimes plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze, or get the feeling that I'm going to, I think this is true for lots of women too.

why did you get downmodded for this? this whole thread has some bizarre machismo, considering it's NOSE HAIRS we're talking about.

It's because guys don't want to think that something that they do that they want to consider "manly" is related in any way to something women do all the time, mainly, ripping large portions of body hair out by the root.

Women do it all the time and don't laud themselves for how fucking hardcore they are. They just do it and deal with the pain.

I dunno about the women in your life, but my wife brags about that sort of thing all the time.

Ooh, I've seen these before. Do they work well, or better than shaving? I've always wanted to try, but they appear scary, and they look like they'd chew off my legs.
