Our grandfathers would have never trimmed their chest hair or "manscaped," but a lot of men today will do all those things and more to look their best.

According to Daily Mail, a new study found men have surpassed women and are now far more obsessed with how they look.  Here are the stats:

  • Men spend 15 total months over the course of their lives in the gym and working out, that's seven times longer than women, who spend two months.
  • Men spend two years and three months of their lives showering, women spend one year and eight months.
  • Men spend 5.5 total months shaving, women spend one month.  However, men spend a total of one month on body hair removal, women spend three months.
  • Women spend longer on getting their hair cut and styled, 10-and-a-half total months versus five months.  Women also spend one month taking care of their nails, men spend 27 days.

When you add all that up, men spend a total of 4.5 years of their lives on their appearance, while women spend 3.1 years.
