Body hair issue...is it possible to have hairy legs, but not a hairy chest..

[D_Edward Alpee]

I think this is especially true of straight guys. For some stupid reason, careful attention to one's body is socially reserved for women, models, and gay men.

Maybe for the 30+ y/o brackets, but especially here in college it's completely acceptable to groom. My experience may be a little concentrated living in a fraternity house, but especially when you're on the prowl things need to be at least trimmed and a lot of the guys I've seen between Brothers in my house or locker rooms or whatever shave something other than their faces.

What's hilarious is the guys that leave their leg, chest, stomach, etc. hair but shave their pubes.

I guess i'm obliged to post here. While my legs are hairy there is virtualy no hair above my waste. I think it is a good look.

I definitely prefer the all over hairy look... never did get turned on by Mr Tumnus

I know lots of ladies who shave their legs but I don't think many of them shave their chests maybe I need to do a little bit of research into this matter?

:biggrin1:

What worries me is that it seems to be becoming unacceptable not to groom. Unlike head hair or facial hair, which grows quite long and easily gets disheveled looking, body hair is relatively short and often curly. In most cases, it doesn't really require grooming (thank god), but for some strange reason young guys are grooming anyway.

What's hilarious is the guys that leave their leg, chest, stomach, etc. hair but shave their pubes.

Agreed. Bald pubes surrounded by a hairy body look absolutely ridiculous, which is one of the reasons I choose not to shave my pubes. Alas, several members of lpsg are guilty of it.

I have really hairy legs and arms, but most of the hair is fairly light in color. If I had black body hair, I would look like a gorilla. I have a furry stomach, but the hair on my chest isn't very thick. Somewhere around 35 I started to get hair on my shoulders, and now with 40 less than a year away, I'm getting it all over my back. I'm not sure what to think about it...

hairy legs but barely some darker peach fuzz on my chest

It is possible, most men have hairy legs but not always hairy chest. Well not for me, but i want that lol

 

[svin_renigoth]

I've got hairy legs and arms, but only light hair on my chest, with a little bit thicker in the middle of my breast bone. My nipples get hairy, but I keep that shaved, and my abdomen, below my navel, usually gets pretty hairy, but I keep that trimmed. My back isn't hairy at all. Yeah it's probably genetic.

[rickygNOLA]

I also vote "Yes" on hairy legs and smooth torso.

What do we win?

you win:
sexiness := sexiness + 1

My Dad, my uncles and my brothers are all smooth, i am hairy all over, legs ,arms thick on the chest and belly and butt, strangest thing is, i have good head hair, but have never been good at growing beard's or Tach'es and i always wanted thick sideburns, but from the neck up i look like i would be a smoothie.

I love your chest hair. I find smoothies look like boys and I want a man!

Over the years, at the gym, I've seen all sorts of variations.
1. Heavy forearm hair, but no chest hair.
2. Heavy leg hair but a smooth butt.
3. Heavy hair everywhere except the chest
4. Heavy chest hair but light every place else.
5. Hairy all over, including back.

I didn't develop thick, dark chest hair until my late forties. Like many others, at the same time that was occurring the hair on the scalp started falling out like mad!

I hope the trend of guys shaving everywhere goes away soon. A man can't be too hairy for my taste!

 

[arkfarmbear]

Oh, and another conundrum. Body builders often take supplemental testosterone, which promotes heavy hair growth everywhere. In order to show off their buff bods, they shave all of that gorgeous hair off!!!!!

I figured I would end up pretty hairy because I had to start shaving at 12 and I had chest hair at 16. While I seemed to get a bit of an early start my hair growth didn't maintain that rapid pace. Today, at the tender age of, uh, mid-thirty-ish, I have a fair amount of light hair all over my legs and a nice spread of fairly dark hair on my stomach and chest. As for facial hair, I would mind it if it grew in a little thicker, but I have had no trouble in the past growing a full beard and I have maintained at least a goatee for a number of years. As for shaving, I did shave my legs once, hoping that the hair would grow back thicker (as I had heard it would), but I immediately regretted it--I looked ridiculous. Same for the chest hair--shaved it once when I was 16 or 17 simply because I thought it was cool that I could do so and swore that I would never do it again because I thought I looked like a prepubescent boy. Then I did shave it off again in college, realized why I hated my shaved chest the first time I did it and then really, really promised myself I would do that again. So far, I have kept that second promise.

I like body hair generally. I think it looks good on men and on me in particular, so I keep it.
