[> [> [> Subject: Because it contradicts the conservative conventional image of the man who should not show or brag about his “beauty”, nor should he take extra care of his look. Add to this the escalating religious trends in the society.

[> [> [> Subject: Forgot to add that there was a famous old incident in the 60s when the police raided a male beauty pageant in Alexandria to choose Mr. Beach. A true story as some friend confirmed to me and indeed a sad and pathetic one too.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: No it is not the same, when Mr. Egypt 1997 was held it faced no complications and no one disagreed about it, but it did not gain much popularity too. However, Face To Face is considering having a casting to choose an Egyptian male representative in MR.World.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: i hope face to face does that, and if a contest is too controversal, they can at least to the contest privately similar to how Mr Lebanon is chosen. I think Egypt has very fine me who could make the rest of the world say 'whoa'.
