Im from puerto rico and I know alot of latin men in particular shape their eyebrows. Over there and other countries most dont think anything of it because a lot of guys do it. Do you think girls would think we are gay or metros because we do this? just wanted to get you guys opinion on guys shaping their eyerbrows here.

If it looks better on you then why not but you should be careful not to overdo it that people can tell you wax your eyebrow. It has to look natural, the trick is to make it seems as if you were born with nice shapely eyebrow.

I don;t personally but some friends do, Ill tell you that girls NOTICE if you shape your eyebrows, my friends have been called out on it by females. They did;nt really mention it as a negative ( the females i mean) but all but one stopped because they think of it as kind of a homo thing to do, DONT OVERDUE IT is the main thing you should focus on if your considering.

I havent done it yet but my friend shapes them thin and really good and girls even tell him sometimes that his are better than theirs. Would that be a bad thing?

Just keep them neat, no need for shaping. Get rid of the uni-brow and any stray hairs.

It depends on where you live. This is a cultural thing. If you are in Puerto Rico and its acceptable and expected then do it..Different ethnicities have different standards for beauty. Americans expect girls to shave and some European countries don't care. Just go with what is expected where you live. Doing what you feel comfortable with is important too but you have to be prepared to deal with the fall out if it isn't socially normal.

i am not sure if i have ever touched my eyebrows. if they were getting too overgrown and i looked better if it was shorter i would do it as long as it didn't make me look like a girl. :D

I shape my eyebrows. And, oh yes, women do notice.
"I'm so jealous, you have perfectly shaped eybrows." and "You're eyebrows are perfect, do you shape them?" or "How long did it take to get your eyebrows that perfect?" even "I wish I had your eyebrows."

The trick is to have them look natural yet clean. The best way is to pluck, not shave. That way there isn't any stubble to make it obvious. If you don't know what shape to go for, think of a slight frown. The inside and outside should end at about the same level, otherwise it will look like you have an expression like you are mad or surprised.

Don't try to shape them all at once: that sh!t hurts, and people will notice the sudden change. Instead, pluck about 10-15 on each side until you get a good shape. Once you have the shape you want to keep, pluck the strays. It's fairly easy to keep up with.

Well from the perspective of an older guy: As you get older, all the hair on or around your face just goes haywire. The eyebrows get bushier, you get more ear hair, nose hair, and even your facial hair gets wonky. And we've all seen these older guys. You know the ones, with the inch-long ear hair, comb-over and mountainman eyebrows.

So yes, I shape my eyebrows so that they don't look unruly. I have one of those pocket trimmers that look like a metal toothbrush. Women have commented that I look younger somehow, without actually figuring it out.

You're a man. What the heck are you doing messing around with your eyebrows?
There's a big difference between wanting to be clean-cut, and spending 3 hours in the bathroom getting ready for a 20 minute trip to the grocery store. I hope you can see that difference.
