Strange question -Just for Men

swingaloo

May be an odd thing to ask but I've just seen the tv ad for 'Just For Men'.


'Removes grey quickly and easily' it says.


So, why is it just for men. If it works that easily and looks that natural why is it not suitable for women?

I'm sure women could use it too if they wanted.. maybe not on their beards and moustaches, though.

Well that's no good then is it!


Seriously though, just wondered why, if its such an easy to use, successful product there isn't a 'just for women'

There is a Just for Women. Correction - apparently there isn't. I was so sure I'd seen it advertised years back ....

I reckon it's the same stuff, but with a floral scent.

To me it doesn't look anything like natural. I would rather stick with having some grey hair which at least does look natural, although I did used to pay for highlights which I now get for free.

I'm guessing they're just trying to market it to a particular (minority) section of potential buyers? Maybe hair dye was (or is) considered a bit girly and vain, so they brought out Just for Men to make it seem a bit more manly :rotfl:

Always reminds me of George Osbourne. He looks like he's dipped his head in a pot of Grecian 2000 or something similar.


I think it's like a lot of these products, for example razors. You get women's bic razors, but I'm sure the only difference is the colour. I just pay half the price and use the mens ones

Gasp! :eek: Blasphemy! Swingaloo dares to question the divine wisdom of advertisers?!

If "Just For Men" didn't spend millions of pounds telling everyone that their product is just for men, I'd feel a bit girly using it. I'd probably forget I was a real man and end up eating quiche by mistake.

Are you a lady yourself? Please don't tell me you've broken the darkest and most sordid taboo?! ... Have you ever used a Kleenex Man-Sized Tissue?!

Oh, these marketing people know what they're doing. A lady could never tolerate the superfluous expanse of a man-sized tissue. Her arm would weaken at the excessive weight. And with such a manly product, she'd be unthinkly inclined towards other manly pursuits: perhaps drinking driving a motor car, or sporting a moustache.

But rest assured! Kleenex tissues are clearly stamped "MAN-SIZED" in big red letters on the box so even a woman can understand who they're for.

What you need, my dear, is some women's bic biros

Scroll down for the reviews

Even though my hair isn't as brown as it use to be, i don't need that type of stuff. I'm Ash Blond now.

suzyjane

Those reviews are just hysterical

What I don't understand, is that my "Nice 'n' Easy" takes at least half an hour (up to 45 mins for "stubborn grey hairs" lol!) to apply, whereas "Just for Men" promises to get rid of grey hair in 10 minutes.

If I wanted to colour my hair a darker shade, I would seriously consider trying "Just for Men". Anything has got to be better than the 6 weekly ritual of overwhelming fumes, purple-brown splotches all over the bath, and never-ending rinsing that I normally have to endure.

I wouldn't mind, I don't dye my hair because it is grey, I dye it because it is brown. I've only got about 5 grey hairs and my hair dye still manages to miss them! :rotfl:
