When did it become manly to have a shaved chest.

[brewsnthelou]

To each there own I say, but personally I like my hairy hubby the way he is... Of course if a well shaved Matthew McConaughey presented himself, I wouldn't be criticizing nothing!!

where ever Chuck Norris is, he just started crying.

Chuck Norris tears cure cancer, too bad he has never cried.

Im 24 and its falling out of my head and coming out of my chest ears back and as...yea i wont go that far.

My girlfriend loves it though, and i never really get cold.


Do have people telling me to take off my sweater in the summer though...

 

[tarawa]

Hairy ears, hairy back, hairy nose........patchy grey chest hair. It's part of aging and it sucks.

 

[tarawa]

I heard on TV (must be gospel) that now a days, the girls like hairy chested men...as long as their backs are hairles...WTF? Too picky.

 

[mikescooling]

Last year I grew a beard and it was all dark brown, this year it mostly came in gray, like an old man,,tear tear.... If it's coming in gray or just balding, I'm shaving it off!!!
I don't think the hair growing out of the pits curling around the arms is a good look, so run the lawn mower through it and knock it back. I mean if you put your under-where on and their is hair sticking out, you have to knock that down.

 

[dstranger99]

I have darke blonde hair (what I have left) but my chest hair is thick and black, think of the group KISS with their shirts off........And my arm hair would make bigfoot look twice.......I'm some sort of freak of nature or something....

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I tell ya one thing, when I was single, if women seemed to prefer a hairless guy to a manly one I would have gladly taken a weekly bath in a tub full of Nair. I would have worn a skirt and a pink halter top that said "Princess" on it if it was a conduit to single women.

Come to think of it.... if my wife asked me to nair I probably would.

 

[linerndunch110]

To me, this way of think is the same as "a fats mans junk shrinks an inch for every extra 50 pounds"

As is, look at abs or pecks that are covered in hair and then not. The one without will prob be more defined.

That said, I have a 2" beard year round and grows like a beast. I have 1 curly q chest hair that constantly gets made fun of lol.

If god gave you hair why are you gunna just shave it off

 

[tarawa]

Trim around your junk and it looks bigger....but then again, at my age nobody is looking or caring!

 

[Melana]

This thread is too funny.

I'm a 'there's one (or two, or many) person for everyone' kind of girl... If I wanted a man with no hair I would have went out and found one. As Yooper said, it is all about the man underneath!

guess my wife needs to divorce me then lol. Only really met one person with hair on more parts of their body then me and he had it on top of his feet like a hobbit. Although my hair isn't exactly all that think and bear like its definetly there.

 

[brewinginnc]

It didn't. Unless you shave your forearms also.

 

[raabs]

I could grow a full beard at 14. Been wearing one since I was 23.

Exact same situation here. At 14 I felt a little weird about having full chest hair but that quickly turned into a DGAF attitude, just means you're more mature.

physically & mentally mature are 2 quite different things. and if body hair makes you more mature, I'm the eternal 11 y/o with a bad sense of humor.:rockin:

 

[Homercidal]

I'm kind of odd. Fairly hairy arms and legs and fairly smooth chest and back, except for a strip down the center of my chest.

I'm kind of curious about how women feel about... Down there, ya know? Smooth or hairy? I think I'm going to try shaving it. I've heard it makes your wee willy seem bigger, and I need all the help I can get!

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I almost posted something and then remembered I had been drinking scotch.

I tried that. She complained it was too itchy on her lips.

 

[Beernik]

When it grows back in, you'll have more jock itch than A MLB catcher.

 

[Subsailor]

I haven't shaved my face clean since I left the service and I only shaved it clean there for boot camp and after the rules changed in '87. I haven't shaved any other part of my body except forearms when sharpening knives. My wife is happy with the hair I got and just likes to me trim the beard and mustache a couple times a year so that when we swap spit like teenagers, she aint getting a mouthful of hair.

Another point, kind of off track maybe:
I don't understand guyliner, men's hairspray or hair gel. My sons do.
I don't use no smell goods - aftershaves, colognes and such and never have. My sons do. I use just plain old, unscented deoderant, not anti-perspirant. The way I sweat I'd be worried about it backing up if I couldn't perspire.
I don't use lotions, creams, skin softeners or anything like them and no lip balms. My sons do, one of them even shaves portions of himself - does this make them less 'manly'? I don't think so.
Does any this make me more 'manly'? No, I don't think so. I think it just makes me; me. And that's good enough.

Trim, no shave. Just shorten up the hair. Smooth shave is kinda creepy.

How about a depilatory gel, like this one? Supposed to give a much smoother result. I'm kind of leery from reading the reviews, though...

There is such a thing as guyliner? I know some guys who persued the "I am wearing all black" and acting depressed types in High School would use some womens makeup, but they actually market it to guys now?

I also use deodorant also, the antiperspirant makes me sweat more. And I am a skinny guy who sweats worse than an NFL linebacker when using the anti-Perspirants. with regular deodorants I am only slightly damper than the rest.

 

[Subsailor]

Yes, one of my oldest daughter's friends was visiting and I noticed he was wearing what I thought was mascara. I asked my daughter and she said no dad, that's guy liner. It was part of his attempt at being what she called Goth. He overheard her explaining and he said that it was his way of being an individual, to stand out. I asked him, So how many of your friends are Goth? He said probably a third of them. So I said, that's not very individualistic then is it? He kind of got mad at me.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

LOL. I think if he had responded with "its just a style" no more would have had to have been said. "Individual" like "Maverick", "Liberty", etc. are all useful words until people start over-using them to mean things that werent originally intended.

 

[Subsailor]

I agree with that Creamy. I can understand if someone is wanting to go with a style or a look or whatever but to tell me it's because your an individual, I just had to question it.
I have no problems with styles, or looks or themes. I believe to be an individual you just need to be the best you, you can be. It's worked for me for a lot of years now.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

For the record, one halloween I wore mascara and eyeliner as part of my costume. Not sure if she would appreciate me sharing this, but my wife took one look at me and promptly jumped my bones. We almost failed to get out of the house for the party at all. Take that as you may.

I currently have a glass case with a tube of mascara and a eyeliner pencil with "In case of emergency break glass" written in red.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Its too much like the South Park episode Rasins where the goth kids say to be an individual by rebelling and being exactly like they are. I do not understand it. Tattoos do not even seem to be a 'mark me as an individual' thing anymore. Same with piercings. Seems like the only way to be different nowadays is to not modify yourself in any way.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I'm still seriously considering getting the word "Soup" tattooed to my left buttock. We laugh that if we ever have a kid that will be my celebratory tattoo.
