There are many things that connect the reading and the video. In both state that men spend a lot more time and money worrying about what they are going to wear and what they have to wear. In both, they also state that there is a certain way that men are supposed to act and look and if you don't look like that then others will judge you and think that you don't care about your appearance. Another thing is that in the reading, it states "There's no question that men today are more interested in things that were traditionally more associated with women." One thing that this made me think of is in Mansome when some of the guys were talking about how they get waxed or shave basically their whole bodies. This can be seen as something for female-like, but now, men are expected to be shaved. This also reminds me of when the guy says he is going to get his nails done. It is just a part of self-care for most men.
I like how you connected the views from mansome to real world ideas, such as when men get their nails done to appear more feminine. And how the modern man spends much more time getting ready than previous generations.
