Hairy men!

::GAG::

Blech. Back hair grosses me out. A guy shouldn't look like he's wearing a sweater when he takes his shirt off.

I have no problem with a fuzzy man. Keeps me warm during all those cold Canadian winters. The hairless, skinny look currently in favor with male models is sort of a turn-off for me – too pre-pubescent, too un-masculine. Men are supposed to have hair – at least some hair. But it really is the guy that counts. I'd date someone smooth and hairless (or fuzzy) if he was great and smart and made me laugh. I will avoid guys who wax their backs just because some woman tells them to and also men who have a hang-up with their hair. A man who is confident in his own skin (no matter how much hair that skin has) is always the better choice for me.

I love chest hair but I'm not into back hair at all. My husband is part american indian so I have about three hairs on his chest. I enjoy all three.

We were at the cabin, DH's cousin shows up with her very hairy hubby. He pulls off his shirt to go swimming, and my youngest son, the nature nut, runs up, rubs the hair on his chest and back to make sure it was real and says, with great awe, "Wow, you could have a whole ecosystem living in there."

out of the mouths of babes... lmao

Chest hair and leg hair is fine, but if the back is hairy, he needs to go in for some manscaping.

I have a friend of many years that has the Italian hairy back. He is very proud of it as it matches his hairy chest. In fact it looks like he is wearing a shirt of hair.

When I told him that I bet it turned off alot of women he found that a surpirze. (He might check his track record. That might be one reason he has short lived relationships...lol.....)

I can not stand that much hair. I don't mind some on the chest, but not the back.

My husband's half Cherokee, half Spanish. He's got the furry front (at least he did, until his surgery, when they shaved his tummy smooth - but it's almost grown back), but his back... well, it seems the Spanish and the Cherokee are duking it out. He's a got a few fly hairs (ICK!!!) and that's about it. I've been bugging him for 15 years about waxing, but he just tunes me out. I try not to think about it.

Personally i prefer men with as litel body hair as possible. I dont think its offending to say that out load, or to a hairy guy.
Why? Dont most women shave under their arms, legs++. Some men dont care if their women have lots of body hair, while other would puke.
Its all about once personal taste.

Total turn off. *shudder* I prefer as little body hair as possible. Natural though. None of this waxing stuff.

AAAAWWWWWWGGGGG!!!!!

No, it wasn't!

And you don't need to be looking any more for the one it was. Really. I promise. K?thnxbai.

In general I don't really have a preference, but I love my fuzzy husband! Sometimes he gets annoyed because I keep petting the fur on his back. Also, the favor is returned. I don't shave my legs (gasp!) unless I'm planning on going swimming, and he couldn't care less. I loves my man!

ETA: On the other hand, with our combined genes, our natural children are going to look like monkeys.

My B-I-L used to work at the zoo. They had a baby orangutan, Buffy, that needed major mothering, so he took it home to M-I-L. She feed it, cleaned it, dressed it, and loaded it into the baby carriage to take for a walk. People intown actually thought it was her grandchild!! The whole family (except DH) has tons of bright red hair.

**Note: They first told me that story and then showed me pictures when I was pregnant -- it was the cause of MANY sleepless nights!

Hey, I'm not "pre-pubescent," I'm Asian. No way in hell I'd pass for a model either--but, I've big muscles and a tremendous singing voice.

No offense meant, Tiger. I have no doubt that you are indeed manly.

I dont mind a little hair on a guy. Without getting too terribly graphic about it, the hair on a guy helps to buffer the friction between his body and a woman's. When both male and female are shaved clean as a whistle--they will indeed whistle! The friction of skin-on-skin causes that "fart" sounding noise when they get rubbing together. I had that problem with one of my very first boyfriends. He had no hair on his chest and I was a teenager whose breasts weren't well develped yet (I was very flat-chested), and the noise of our two flat and naked chests rubbing together made us stop and laugh and then he had to get out of bed and very humorously sprinkled some baby powder on his chest to try and alleviate it. But the presense of hair keeps things nice and quiet.

The back hair and the shoulder pads is pushing it though as far as my own personal tolerances.

Beyond the chest grosses me out. Specially if I start seeing hairs in places there shouldn't be hairs...my sink, pillows, my sheets, etc.

I've just looked at that pic again and I can't decide which is worse, hairy backs or the hairy shoulders and arms. It's totally gross.

I found this:
The reason I ask this question is because, being a female, I am required to shave for the sake of the male species' pleasure. Don't get me wrong, I prefer to shave as I do derive my own pleasure from the comfort it lends me, but society has imposed the idea that if I were not to shave I would become less appealing to the oppositesex. Men become 'grossed out' at the slightest view of a woman's leg that has gone unshaven, and for this reason I do feel that we, females, are required to shave in order to appear attractive.

Men obviously don't really care.

Men care too. I know a few (names withheld to protect the innocent) who shave or trim their body hair with a beard trimmer. Smooth is very nice, but then again, so is Sean Connery.
Here ya go:

None taken... Sorry, I should have dropped in a little smiley.

Well, there are hairy Asians too. Try Okinawa.

Hairy men?

Hmm on the head - must be nice and long, I'm a sucker for long hair. A nicely trimmed goatee is cute too, on the right guy

On the body - er no, not really. My hubby naturally has no hair on his upper body! But for those that are hairier, I don't know that I want a guy who spent more time in a salon getting waxed than I do, so as long as it's a) natural and b) doesn't poke above the collar of a shirt, or c) make him look like an Afghan Hound when he takes his shirt off, I'll cope.

As for the sack wax ----ewww I don't want to look at the last turkey in the shop!
