If you go to a barber shop it has a lot to do with "doing things that males do". Sports on the tube, somewhat bawdy banter, talking to the barber is somewhat akin to talking to a bartender, magazines for men, the smells are all masculine, you're being catered to, etc.... The barber shops around here no longer do shaves though due to liability and aids fears. I just re-read the above and realize how gay it all sounds but I'm fucking posting it anyway.
