On the subject of blond haired men who have very hairy chests, a few movie actors that come to mind are Robert Redford, Scott Caan, Ken Clark and the extraordinarily furry Aldo Ray.

Average (Just needed to make 1 more category):
Spanish, Andorrans, French, Northern Italians, Sammarinese, Hungarians, Croatians, Moldovans

Moderately unhairy - some individuals hairy, most medium or not very hairy:
Irish, British, Dutch, Belgians, Luxembourgers, Germans, Danish, Swiss, Liechtensteiners, Austrians, Czechs, Slovakians, Slovenians, Polish, Lithuanians, Ukrainians

Unhairy - Majority of population not hairy (e.g. a lot of men don't have chest hair)
Icelanders, Norwegians, Swedish, Finnish, Estonians, Latvians


I don't see Turks and Russians as European.

Why do you rate the Portuguese more hairy than the Spaniards? Do you really notice a significant difference.

But then again, you're the biggest troll here, so I shouldn't take your posts seriously.
I wonder, how he differentiate Ukrainians from Russians and Belarusians? Maybe noble posture or proud look?

Russian, Ukrainians and Belarusians is a European nations. It is a fact, and it is independent from "anti" or "not anti".

What an interesting thread.

In Iberia, the level of hairy someone is will vary. I have noticed Iberians as a whole are much more hairy than Romanians, who despite being "Latin" (as in Romanized) are not very hairy and tend to a more Slavic (aka weak) level of hair on the body.

Certain parts of Spain and Portugal have people who have very Mediterranean body hair levels but other parts much less so. They're not very homogeneous. More Atlanto- Mediterranean and small Mediterranean types are hairy but the other lighter types can be not so.

Italians are hit or miss. Northern Italians who are just lighter versions aren't super hairy. Germans are hit or miss. Most aren't but once in a while you get one that is for some odd reason.

I think the British Isles produce the least amount of body and facial hair. I have seen lots of Irish with little body hair and patchy beards.

As an Iberian myself my body hair is very developed and strong.

Native English men of English stock aren't hairy. Maybe when compared to Asians they are. Compared to Mediterranean types they might as well be hairless.

Oh and to the guy who said the Portuguese are more hairy than Spaniards, it depends what part. Someone from say Almeria (in Andalusia) is gonna be much more hairy than someone from Tras- os-Montes.

I have heard it said that body hair is actually *an* adaptation (but not the only and not universal) to UV index, which the Mediterranean has very high levels of and explains why people closer to the Mediterranean sea have some of the most hairy bodies.

An androgenic hair distribution map shows the Iberian peninsula along with the Levant as the hairiest area of the world. Also the Ainu in Japan are hairy for some odd reason but apparently they're not ethnically Japanese.

If that's hairy to you you've obviously never been around men from the Near East or from the Caucasus area. "Hairy chest" isn't hairy.

Sean Connery is not typical for Scotland anyway. It would be like saying Welsh look like Tom Cullen or the Irish look like Colin Farrell, both of whom who could pass in Spain.
