IMO only gender confused men , and men who are in the entertainment business, might consider shaving these areas of their body.
Real men shouldn’t shave anything or cut their hair on their heads, either. In fact, real men wouldn’t even bathe. Bathing is too sissified. So is teeth brushing. A real man is all natural.

Naturally, "real" women have body hair, too.

My 2 grown sons are HAIRY monkeys. lol


I don't expect either of them to shave their bodies, and they both take breaks from time to time, from shaving their faces.


But truth be told, if my youngest wanted to maybe...CLIP some of that under arm hair...I think it'd look a lot nicer. LOL

Dang, that was funny to read (with all due respect, it's early for me and that was my morning chuckle). Thanks

I am not a hairy guy, however I do have some chest hair. I was dating a woman who told me I needed to shave my chest hair. Again, not much hair elsewhere, just the normal areas, but I would NOT shave my armpit hair, nor chest hair. I am what I am. What is the fascination some woman have with hairless men? She also said I should be a Metro Sexual. That was the nail in the coffin.

Why is shaving body hair "dainty" if you're a man? I think body hair, for the most party, is messy. I wax my back and shave my chest because I hate the gnarled mess it becomes when it gets too long. A trimmed chest is cleaner, visually.

But thanks for your opinion on what a ~real man~ should look & behave like

This is hilarious. My husband is a "real, hardworking man" who shaves under his arms. Shaving underarms reduces the ability for bacteria to breed for both men AND women. This bacteria is what causes the offending odor, so I have NO problem with hairless armpits.


And what is "extra" shaving? LOL


I think you're projecting. Have you seen the movie "American Beauty?" If so, think about the end of the movie.

A couple swipes with a 1/4" beard trimmer and done (wherever needed!)

Nothing like seeing some dude (in cargo shorts) with deodorant clumps accumulated under his arms. PU!

I don't get it either, and I'm female.

I like body hair on men. I don't have a problem with it if a guy doesn't have a lot of hair naturally but I don't get into the shaving.

People can do what they want but I don't get the fascination with hairless bodies. It's not natural.

Yeah, can't say as I blame you for leaving It's hard to stay with someone who won't accept you as you are or tries to make you into something you are not.

.
And men are supposed to be what, gorillas?
I think it's not a bad point the OP raises. I realize men "let it all hang out" and don't shave "there", but it's not a bad idea in hot, sweaty summers. And I'm sure you'd be horrified to know, that these days, men of the younger generations do tend to shave another "there", that didn't used to be the norm.
