I saw this on TV today and could not stifle a socket-wrenching eyeroll. What is it with our culture? The answer to the age old question "Hm, how can we make this more attractive to men?" is usually "Add boobs!"
Is a mani/pedi and a brow wax really more manly because it is being administered by a bleached blonde with a set of DDs instead of a Versace clad man who wants to be called Kitty? You're going to walk out looking pretty either way. Duh, I know, one experience is more enjoyable to most men than the other. But yet another franchise banking on the fact that men like to see huge racks and will pay to do so? Will there be Hooters versions of everything one day? DD Diner? Huge Rack Shoe Repair? Jugs 'R Us Dry Cleaning? Obviously, no one would hire me to pick the names for these places.
How about going back to the days of yore, when "manly" meant a trip down to the corner barber for a shave from a trusty old man? Alternatively, where are all the salons and restaurants trotting out hot men? Hm? I await my chance to get a haircut and manicure at Buns of Steel Salon.

Also, even back in sexist times of yore men managed to maintain personal hygiene without overt sexual enticements. Why? Because even housecats can groom themselves regularly, sheesh.
However, I would be verrrry interested in a restaurant where all the waiters were shirtless and had bodies like those of your average Olympic men's swimmer.
Sigh. Are any Olympic swimmers average? They are gods among us.
Hey, I think we're onto something here! Anyone want to partner in my new franchise: "Pecs 'R' Us: Massages and Facials by the Men's Olympic Swim Team"?
It'll give them something to do during the off years.
Oh boy. I will be your partner, and your first customer.
