So when did this hairless obsession begin. Ads here are crazy about pushing hairless smooth abs on men. Women today claim its "Uncomfortably prickly" to have sex with a hairy chested man. WHAT .

I prefer men to leave their body hair alone. Hair on a man's chest is hot.

What makes you think there is some "hairless obsession"?

My legs are pretty damn hairy. I mean: hairy.

I have sufficient hair on my arms (on my head too). While I would do better to get my hair on my head cut once a week, my financial considerations make it more prudent I get my hair cut once every two weeks. I usually (not always) shave once a day. And ever since I've been using an alum block shaving is one of the things I get the most enjoyment from in life. However, I keep hair on my chin, in a fashion much like famous celebrity Jesse James. Truth be told I would like to have a full beard, however, contra the enormous ignorance of the women on this website (and some of the men) not every man can grow an even beard across all of his facial cheeks. Around most my facial cheeks my hair comes out scraggly and in uneven spots. For aesthetic looks I shave this. I can't even grow a full mustache. Again, I shave it. And I keep the hair on my chin (actually, towards the sides, along my mandible, this encompasses more than just my "chin"). I shave the hair under my chin and running down the front of my neck.

I also shave or clipper the splotches of long scraggly hairs in the center of my lower back when I feel it too.

Ever take a crap with a butt full of hair? Yeah, a lot of you men have. And you walk around with sh*t caked in between your butt cheeks.

I don't shave the hair underneath my arms but I do clipper them to a low but still "masculine" look for Western culture.

My chest is akin to my face in which I can't grow an even, full cover of hair across my chest. I have scraggly, long hairs down the center (in no even look) of my chest, and usually long scraggly hairs encircling my nipples.

My chest like my face looks better clippered or shaved down. And oh yes... I do clipper to a low (but not very low length) length the hair on my chin.

When I went over to the Middle East in the Marine Corps the Arab women were a bit fascinated with our "high and tights" as very few Arab men had "bald fades" on the sides and back of their heads. And I can only imagine some of you'ze faces when I was in the Corps doing barracks duty in which I used to take myself to get a hair cut (bald fade on the sides/back) twice a week. Showered about 3 times a day; after-shave; cologne; hair spray; everything pressed to a crease; boots always spit shinned, cardboard with tapped pennies in the bottom blouse of my trousers legs to keep an impressive boot blouse.

And if I ever learn from the past mafia dons--like the one in Milwaukee that dressed immaculately--I'll start getting manicures one day.

And for the record, I don't shave (nor wax) my abdomen. I do clipper it to a low (still visible) level though. I clipper the hair on my testicles too. And will continue to do so even if I become a celibate priest.

Now... maybe I should go into the thread with American women (feminists) complaining about how men on this website complain about or tell women what to wear. Nota bene: I was not one of them. But as I'm right about American women they hate the Golden Rule. They always demand to be "understood" and demand men have more "liberal" "open minds." None of which they have in their jihadi, closed, minds.

I actually like the Brazilian female fashion of keeping short clippered hair on the thighs and calves and bleaching the hair, set against the back drop of sun-tanned legs.

Question: in light of Brazilian women with bleached hair on their legs, when did Americans become "obsessed" with hairlessness on American women and their legs?

And no... I don't like the look on women with legs full of long hairs like my hairy legs. And my legs are hairy enough to be put up against the hairiest white man's legs.

I am not criticizing those who shave. I am asking why those who don't want to shave are being told that men look hot only when fully shaved. I am ok with shaving off my facial hair, but don't want to do the rest of my body. Why does this preference sound unhygienic to most younger women today.

I do some light manscaping in the genital area and shave my nape everyday. I am not that hairy with only patches around navel and nipples. Chest is bare. I just feel better about myself and really don't care what others think.

I like the term Rogarven used: manscaping.

I don't know the answer to your question--in part because I was unaware most younger women today have so strong a preference for men shaving or waxing their bodies. I was aware "manscaping" picked up as a practice among us generations of younger men and older generations (like my mother) express confusion at this.

I haven't had sex with a woman since God knows when. Plus, I don't want to tell you the last time I was out on a date. My whole reason for my "manscaping" comes from two sources: #1 I saw numerous men in porn groomed up this way. #2 I thought to myself that this is a grooming look I prefer, and in fact to interior butt thing struck me as totally sensible hygienically. And one I did this latter part I was won over and so long as it is in my means never again am I going back "dingle berrys" and crap caked in my butt.

So, I did not know broads were sooooo into this. They were never my motivation. However, I must admit that a young woman in a one night stand I had sex with in my early 20's when I was in the Corps expressed a bit of disgust and dismay that I had a huge bush in my groin area. I remember she asked me why I didn't trim it and I replied, "Men don't trim their pubic hair." And I really thought that.

I'm not shaving my legs. I like them hairy. And very hairy they are. But I will continue to use either razor blade or clippers on my chest, lower back, and other areas I've stated in this thread. Though... I prefer the use of clippers because it is faster and doesn't come with the itchy razor bumps for me.

A hairy chest is not unhygenic in my view. Personally, I wish I could grow a full, hairy coat of hair evenly across my chest. Then I would just keep the chest hair clippered low. I wish I could grow a full beard too but I can't. But If I had a beard it would be groomed and lined and not just some big bushy thing that never sees clippers.

Here you go, Adi. Maybe advertisement is affecting male opinion. Women in advertising telling men what to do. Gillette can make more money convincing men to groom more of their body hair perhaps?

What the ever-loving heck is with this "clean, fresh & smooth" obsession? Is it driven by advertising? Is it driven by a fear of not being perceived as clean? Is it part of the antibacterial paranoia? Is it a fear of raw and real sexuality and sensuality?
I totally agree

I just read some of the other posts. Clipping butt hair makes sense..

LOL, yeah right. As if they are actually going to date the common man. Whats my point in trying to impress them.

I want common women from the younger generation to speak up about what they find acceptable in men.
