One only has to go to the mall to know what I am talking about. Thousands of products on sale for millions of dollars to make you beautiful. However most of these items are targeted towards women. Perfumes, stilettos, and make up all sit behind counters with the promise of making women more attractive. Every once in a while I will see something for a man like belts or cologne but the ratio of people flocking over them are considerable unbalanced (favorable towards women). When you think about it, to create beauty is a much bigger job for girls than guys. Maybe its cause they are held to a higher slandered by the media or maybe it’s because the images are shoved in their faces several times a day through magazines, advertisements, and the TV.
Men mostly work with what they have. They get some t-shirts, a nice hair cut, and maybe work out a little bit. Not too much to ask. However many women style their hair every day, work out, invest in makeup, and shop for their perfect outfit. Although it doesn’t really feel excessive when being experienced, in comparison to what guys have to go through it seems like we got ripped off a little.
To be beautiful women attempt to conceal their flaws basically with paint, heating and reheating your hair until it breaks, and spending their hard earned cash on a dress they might only wear once. Is it all worth it? I can’t answer that, but I can say that it isn’t fair.

Rogaine -- the hair growth medication -- was initially marketed to balding men; however, the corporation that makes Rogaine quickly learned (through record low profits) that, by and large, men just don't really care about being "pretty." As a result of their findings, they began marketing their hair loss medication to women, and their profits went right up. Crazy, huh?
