Shaving...

[Deleted]

This question might be a bit to personal, but who else ( man ) shaves their armpits and chesthair once in a while? I had a gf that didn't liked all the hair at all and I actually kept shaving it off whenever it grows to long... I shave my armpits mostly when it's summer, because I'm already sweating like a pig and I don't want to be smellable from a distance

And what do most woman like? Do you consider shaving your armpits "gay"?

[Reg]

I'm not naturally hairy, but I do Nair my chest hair cause it bothers me lol

[Soisoisoi]

I don't do it, but it's not gay at all. It's a personal choice - and hey, less stink is always good.

I shave my armpits on a daily basis. Can't stand it. Also, private areas.

As far as chest hair goes, I'm not bald but not bear-haired either. I wouldn't touch it unless I would look very very fit.

I trim my arm pit and pubic area, do not shave them completely though.

I just don't understand why men shave all their body hair off, to be perfectly honest. If my girlfriend asked me to I would but it'll only grow back thicker and more wirey and faster anyway so may as well just leave it.

I stand by my opinion though which is that men who shave their bodys clean of all hair are as homosexual as those who insist on wearing cardigans.

Not that there is anything wrong with gay people, it's just that most do it because "girls like that" and most of the time as far as I can tell, they don't really care, and it's quite obvious they're doing it because they like being as smooth as a babys ass.

It helps to show off body definition, its the reason bodybuilders do it.

I stopped shaving my armpits die to ingrown hairs, i just trim them down once a week, it's perfectly normal, especially in summer days.
I also have hairy back, so i usually laser it before summer so i don't look like a yeti at the beach, personally i consider removing nose, ear and back hair a must.

I don't shave it but I do trim it short enough. I never liked body hair huge turn off for me.

I do shave my armpits every now and then (not in a year or two atm tho mind you, but that's just lazyness), shaved my chest couple of times but I like to keep my Hasselhoff. Only downside is waking up when your beard and chesthair have dreadlocked together during the night...

I can understand body builders doing it, but I'm 18 so spend a lot of my time in changing rooms before sports and the amount of people who do it or believe it's integral is... strange. I can understand trying to impress girls and trying to be manly, I just refuse to accept that the way to do it is to spend hideous amounts of time preening yourself infront of a mirror and shaving the rugged look of a man, off your body, which seems completely counterproductive to the goal, seeing as pretty much noone there will ever be a bodybuilder

[Pachycrocuta]

I see nothing wrong with it, personally. I am a hairy dude, though its not too thick except from the neck up. I personally absolutely hate shaving, though I shave my pubes about once a week. I wouldn't shave my chest or pits, but that's just me, and I see nothing wrong with guys that do.

[Deleted]

I've never ever heard of men shaving their arm pits, that practice seems rather bizarre/feminine to me, all you pit shavers care to explain why?

that's just an urban legend anyways

well. like me, it could be that their body just doesnt grow hair. i was asked if i shaved my legs in highschool. and i didn't. i just didn't grow hair like that. i still dont. i'm 32 and i barely have any hair on my body. and its not gay at all. especially if you have to put spat on your legs. getting that of with the legs of a wolfman is not fun.i've seen the aftermath.

Never. I looked like a boy once, but I grew out of it.

I had a gf that didn't liked all the hair at all

Guess she didn't like men.

Soap.

I'm not a woman, but I don't consider a man shaving his armpits "gay", nor do I think there's anything wrong with being gay, which is an implied attitude in your question.
I do consider it vain... Or perhaps metrosexual is the proper term.
Actually, I think I'll just go with "unnatural".

[Frozenbeef]

i don't shave under my armpits but they get really smelly...like minutes after coming out of the shower they smell...everyday i have to put tons of deodorant on >.<

[Krolikn]

I trim my armpit hair since it helps with hygiene a bit. I leave my chest hair alone, no reasons to get rid of it.

[Deleted]

There's nothing wrong with doing it. Everyone has different tastes and what they do with their body - within reason - is no one else's business. Or are we pretending as if the definition of masculinity is interpreted by incredibly shallow and outdated stereotypes? Implying someone is only manly if they're hairy is just as ridiculous as claiming that someone is only manly because they shave off their body hair. It's not something that really factors into it.

As for the original question, I just trim my facial hair into stubble. The rest of my body isn't particularly hairy aside from my arms and legs, which I leave alone.

[Digglett]

Hair is disgusting. I mean, shaving legs for a guy is kind of odd, but otherwise I wouldn't care.
