Manscape Mix-Up; Most Women Say: "You Forgot to Trim Your ____"

Manscape (ing) (ed) (s) (man-SCAPE), (1) v.: to expertly groom a man's body hair such that one grooming area seamlessly flows into another ("He manscaped with his trimmer in my bathroom for over an hour, and didn't sweep it up; but, girl, he looks good, so whatev."); (2) n.: on such beautifully trimmed vista ("Howard, look at that manscape! Nah, that was totally an inside job, definitely got his girlfriend to do it.").

Now that men have finally caught onto the whole personal grooming thing, we thought it was finally time to get critical. We don't care that you have ADHD and already snorted your last Ritalin last night at Akbar! We don't give a flying fuck that your trimmer ran out of batteries! There are certain little things that you just don't do, as a matter of public decency, and leaving the arm hair on your elbows despite an expert wrist job is certainly one of them! Look: if the little patch you neglected to groom can see us, we can see it!

Yes, viewing the perfect manscape is nearly as difficult as it is to catch a digital picture of a sunset landscape that doesn't look like it was taken from a no-tell-motel in Cancun.

Why is this? 

We've conducted some extensive research here at I_Lick_Lists. We've been sitting in a coffee shop all day and bothered both the employees (by refusing to order anything more than two coffees) and every girl who has entered the coffee shop. Yes, so far, we've polled almost 100 girls.

Our question was this: "If you had to pick one area of a man's body that is the most neglected when he manscapes (besides the back, that's too obvious), what would it be?"

Compiling our results has been laborious and time consuming, in part because we've landed in a gay coffee shop, and we're really not interested in tapping into the whole "gay advice for the straight guy" crap.  Of course, it's also taken some time because not many people are familiar with "manscape", and we had a lot of explaining to do. 

To make the results a little more interactive, and frankly, to keep you on our site longer, here are the results of our informal poll, in game form.

UPDATE: Well, that's just great. Either your men are expert manscapers or you've given me an overwhelming indication that I really need to start looking for a real job and stop bothering poor, unsuspecting women and with my harebrained questions and list proposals. In any event, here are the answers to our obviously unengaging poll. In order of most popular to least popular answer, women found that men are most likely to forget about trimming what area of the body?

1. Entire Legs (24 women);
2. Butt Crack (22 women);
3. Nose hair (17 women)
4. Balls (11 women); and
5. Belly Button. (9 women).

We'll obviously avoid that list topic in the future unless we want to decrease our incomes from $0.06 in click-throughs to $.02.
