is body hair a turn off? [MERGED] (attracted, attract, people)

[Schmooky]

Body hair doesn’t bug me at all as long as he is well groomed and clean. Manscaping weirds me out a bit and I don’t mind close cropped facial scruff/beard either.

Would you continue to date a man if you found out that he was extremely hairy? Or, would it be just one of those things that you would over look because you think it's manly for a man to be hairy and not bald like a teenage boy?

Lets hear all the fun stuff on this matter. LOL

I thought I preferred non-hairy guys but that's just because the first several guys I was with didn't have a lot of hair. Then I met an Indian guy....HAIRY! But it certainly wasn't a dealbreaker - that would be really silly.

Not sure what "extremely hairy" means. If it's within the range of normal, it wouldn't be an issue. I read an article about a guy in Mexico, who had a rare condition, in which he really had excessive facial hair, as well as body hair. The photo looked like a wolf-man, but it was real. He did have a devoted gf. She said she appreciated his character, and how he dealt with his situation. She said he was of kind and noble character. She was very sweet about it.

IDK if that helps you, OP.

I like back hair on a man. It feels wonderful to run my fingers through it. Real men with testosterone have chest hair.

I prefer a clean shaven face, but a 5 o'clock shadow can look good. The problem with that is it is scratchy.

A very nearly trimmed beard can look good but most men with facial hair won't make the effort and so they look suspiciously like there might be food scraps in their beard.

I'm talking about enough hair on the back, shoulders, chest and stomach, that if I were to transplant it on my head I'd look like a poodle. I actually have my wife shear me like a sheep twice in the summer time just so I may be comfortable. If I go to public pools I scare kids because they think Bigfoot just walked in. The the pool maintenance man gets mad because he thinks there's a dead cat in the skimmer.
Sorry, just joking about the last two, lol.

Or, would some of you ladies see it as a chance to stay warm in the winter because you'd have your own buffalo hide blanket?

But what about your butt?

I trim and/or shave.

I was with a girl recently that was very attractive, BUT the girl didn't trim downstairs and even had armpit hair.

It shows to me a lack of hygiene and was an instant turnoff. Hell I shave my underarms. Haven't had any complaints with how I take care of myself.

If a guy removes body hair for reasons of pure vanity, I find it a little distasteful. Metrosexuals have never been my "type". If it's for comfort, hygiene, or similar reasons, I am okay with it. But I don't mind a man in his natural state, whatever it may be, if he's honest and caring and otherwise a good mate.

Legs and that too, but not as bad as the back.

I would not be into it.

I like the feel of skin next to me, not hair.
