In the gym I go to, there are some men that shave their underarms and their chest area. I see it mostly in younger men (guessing 20 to 40 year age groups) and not sure if this is a new fashion thing that's happening all over. Btw, the guys I'm talking about are not competitive swimmers. Some older guys (over 60) just trim their underarms, not shave completely. All of them probably make up about 30% of the ones I see when I'm there.
1. Do you ladies find this attractive? I think some try to look like models.
2. Do you find men with unshaven or trimmed hair in these two areas more or less acceptable?
I'm okay with it if that's what they want to do. I don't think it's weird-looking or anything, if that's what you're asking, though I typically expect to see at least something in those areas. Some manscaping is usually good, IMO. Full waxing/shaving isn't necessary but it's not a negative either.
I don't care one way or the other as long as a man is well groomed in general. Some men have too much body hair, frankly, and if I had a man in my life that fit that criteria, I'd rather him be smooth as a baby's butt than all hairy.
Most people look better with some, errr, attention to detail when it comes to body hair.

I clipper down (not shave) my underarms too. I clipper or shave my chest as well.
Frankly, I don't do either routinely enough, but I get to it when I finally get irritated enough looking at it.
My motive is: me. I don't care what women think (nor men).
My underarms in particular I view as decreasing the odor resulting from bacteria growth (and in this relation the more--or longer--hairs bacteria can attach to and reproduce exponentially on) when I keep my hair trimmed lower, rather than looking like I have Buckwheat in a headlock.
Shaving or clippering the scraggly hair on my chest is merely aesthetics for me. I would prefer a chest full of hair, as personal preference, but since I can't grow a chest full of hair but only scraggly hairs all over the place unevenly, and primarily around my nipples, I shave or clipper them off. For myself, not for bimbos or what some jock or nerd thinks anywhere on the planet.
I wouldn't mind if my husband trimmed some hair on his chest and lower back. He likes to wear thin light-colored polo shirts and sometimes hair will poke through. I'll think it's just a hair stuck on the shirt until I try to remove it and realize it's still attached.
But I won't tell him I think it would be more attractive if he trimmed the hair. When I met him, he only had one chest hair and he was sensitive about it. It was pretty cute when his chest hair started to grow in (in his 20's) and less cute when back hair started to grow in too.
Manscaping the groin area has been common for 15 or 20 years...not a shave which can irritate the skin but keeping some of the hair trimmed. Manscaping the chest and underarms is a newer trend...the only guys who used to do that were swimmers and bodybuilders.
You can't beat, well groomed, neat, and clean. If you are too hairy, keeping it trimmed up can make it easier to stay clean.
