100% agreed

I have weird body hair. I have hardly any upper body hair at all... you can count my chest hairs on both hands. I usually just pluck those. Maybe someday I'll have something that looks manly, but until then, I'd rather not look pubescent. Ok, so then at the other extreme, I have TOTAL ape legs that are a bit gross, so I trim that shit every couple of months lest people think that a monkey just whizzed by them on a bicycle.

I read that quickly and thought you were saying that you didn't want to look like a monkey whizzed on your legs.

"Monkey whiz" is a very disappointing GIS.

trimming leg hair? sounds like a fucking disaster waiting to happen

what exactly are we talking about here?

Threads like this are why I don't go to the beach. I am fucking covered in body hair, and am not real interested in showing it off.

I once worked with this b400-lb. 60-yr-old bear guy that looked like Santa. And he wrote this 'erotic story' he shared with me to proofread. He described this one man as having hair like everywhere except the palms of his hards & feet and on his face and the front of his neck. All I could think of was: "So he wants to fuck Enkidu from the Epic of Gilgamesh." At that moment, I didn't know if I felt more awkward to read this fiction that was the exact opposite of my interests, or by comparing it subconsciously with the Epic of Gilgamesh.

I'm a hairy motherfucker. Except I can't grow a good mustache.

I have a nice crop of chest hair. Thick, but not too thick. I think it's my best feature.

If chest hair is wrong, then I don't want have the option to be right.

Let's see some jpgs, people.

Yep, I'm a hairy fuck. A pic in this month's wdyll demonstrates it.

xpost i agree

I like snailtrails =D they're cute. I dont mind a little chest hair on guys tbh.

Hmm, I don't know about these pictures...

yeah i'm DEFINITELY not posting a pic of my chest on here without being like completely high and out of it

I'm not quite a werewolf. Not quite.

Snailtrail yes. YES. YES PEOPLE. yeeeessss And hair is neither here nor there, as long as it moves, bcz if you were ruffling a guys chest and the hairs just sat there like titanium wires, I couldn't handle that.

Also, chest stubble >_< NO SIR.

Mind you shaved legs on guys = HOTT OMG.

That actually weirds me a little, but then I don't shave my legs so if a man around me did it would make me feel like Yeti.

Gilgamesh is basically the world's oldest slash.

i didn't have dinner 2nite

do we think jesse's sucking face bout now?

lol that was meant for the other thread no more chest hair observations from me ; )

<i>WTF do you think it is if NOT biological?</i>

A curse?

And no there is no reason whatsoever. Take a gaggle of smooth, hairless guys and guys with a full beard, chest and back hair. Now throw them out naked and exposed to the elements for a set amount of time and I bet the relative rates of hypothermia fatalities between the two groups would be so small as to be inconsequential. At the very least, the number of times in a man's life where he'd be justified in saying "Praise evolution that years of Darwinian processes equipped me with this sweet growth of hair sparsely and unevenly covering my upper torso or else I'd REALLY be in trouble now" are pretty small.

Women don't grow beards or chest hair, and they seem to have gotten on just fine.

well obv now it doesn't make much of a difference, but when evolution was like happening, these things actually had a purpose.

a lot of things that evolved turned out to be pointless, but they certainly werne't always

and it's awful to look at body hair as a curse. awful and completely like aryan or something

;_;

trimming leg hair? sounds like a fucking disaster waiting to happen

A disaster? Like, a dude with no leg hair? Cancel the Tour de France next year, then, and maybe the Olympics.

I used to shave my legs. When I was v into teh road cycling.

Secondary sex characteristics are a motherfucker. All you bald guys out there... I have your hair on my legs.

I like the bicycle dudes' legs. Like... wow.

I knew the cycling was good for something.

> And no there is no reason whatsoever.

Define reason. I mean, if there was no reason for it to grow, it wouldn't be growing would it?

There's no question that body hair is a vestigial trait that serves no current purpose - that's why it's as rare and sparse as it is. Don't forget that the same is true of the hair on the head, though, as well as most of your fingers and toes, etc. And if you ever wear makeup or have any piercings you really need to shut up about necessity right now.

this thread needs WAY more pictures.

also grey chest hair on me = woo!

(grey pubes though...slightly less woo)

MB on the direction this went. My comments were (mostly) in jest but I guess I didn't really convey that. Yes I do know body hair has a purpose or else why would it be there? I just don't like having to shave. Moreover I recognize the potential "aesthetic" value of something that serves no real purpose IMO like chest hair. My nipples have no reason to exist either but I'm still glad I have them.

u shave ur body hair??!! why? don't u hate stubble, razor burn, the chicken look?

Sorry. I get a little defensive about hirsuteness, since, as I mentioned above:

I wish. ;_;

One time I was changing at the gym and some guy, a complete stranger, looked at me and said, "There must have been a bear in your family!" Like, THANKS FOR THE AWKWARDNESS, COMPLETE STRANGER. I really wanted to say, "Yes, that's exactly right, my maternal great-grandmother fucked a bear. You want to inappropriately check out my package while you're commenting?"

omg that's awful i woulda told him off

I was too flabbergasted to say anything! Like commenting on complete strangers' bodies in the men's locker room was suddenly acceptable and I didn't get the memo or something.

Sometimes I wish I could comment on men's bodies in the locker room. Like, as in, "Old dude, you might want to think about wearing a towel. I can do without the preview of what I have to look forward to when I'm 65. Just a towel, that's all I ask."

lol phil honest that's ridiculous

Yeah, totally, Phil. I'm with Surmounter here.

I've had folks make remarks at me like that out of the blue, folks I didn't even know, but not in specific relation to chest hair and that is even more ridiculous than any shit I've ever heard said to me. I hope you told 'em off good.

Bad News Bears :(

I can't read over the rest of the thread, but shoulder, back and upper arm hair are BADDDDDD.

Upper arm may not be great but the shaved upper arm hair look doesn't improve upon it at all.

Young girls seem to like chest hair more as they get older. And isn't chest hair back in style amongst the homosexuals? It's about to swing back into style.

Excuse my confusing language there ("shaved upper arm hair", "young girls as they get older"

Do you ever see a man in a suit with k-hairy hands and then wonder where all the other hair is, the mad extent of it? It's kind of distracting, but only a tiny bit.
