What do you guys think of triathletes who shave their legs?
I am a triathlete and a runner but shave my legs for swimming purposes, plus it helps if you fall on the bike to clean the wound.
Personally I shave everything, except for of course inner ass, which I did once and it felt very odd. Plus, I don't shave the jewels, I got cut there too many times.
However I do shave my rudder.
Any thoughts?
in response to your question: What do you guys think of triathletes who shave their legs? My response is: gay.
Actually chics dig it. And i'm not gay...but if i was i'd get more action.
I can tell that the high schools must be out for break now!!
I'm no troll... and i am not in HS.

What F*cking thread are you reading?
Oh snap!
Great reply!!!
First, waaaaayyyyy too much information. It will take 1/2 a bottle of drinking to remove those images.
Second, I think more people should shave. It looks better, shows off muscle, and is slightly supported by the more common reasons given of less drag, better massage, better wound cleaning (etc.).
Like you, I shave too. A lot. But despite all of the above, the simple reason: personal preference.
Good choice.
Is it okay to shave my forearms and hands though? It would make me glide through the water better. I bet most runners think triathletes are homos.
Plus, I shave my armpits too. Is that acceptable?

Would Clint Eastwood ever shave his legs? Sean Connery? Lee Marvin? Jack Palance? Paul Newman?
Unless you are an elite swimmer or cyclist, don't even try to justify it. Runners have no business doing it. It looks gay. Plus, swimmers only do it before a major competition. It's not like they do it all they time because they like it.
And there is no evidence that shaved legs have less drag for runners. That is preposterous.
Every time I show up a local 5K and see some slow-ass male triathlete with shaved legs I want to puke. What a pussy.
Probably because some of us don't do with the sole attempt to please you. To think that guys are doing it to impress you.......
wonder who is the gay one.

That's a great comeback. You must have thought that up in the shower today while you were shaving your ass.
You really think shaved legs on a man are cool? You obviously don't have teenage daughters. But won't it be fun when you do have a teenage daughter!! She'll be so psyched when her smooth-legged Daddy-O runs by all her friends!! Won't that be a hoot!!
You need to step back and man up. I'm giving you one more chance.
No more chances needed....and you better do some evaluations about yourself if (1) your inner thoughts are of men shaving their asses in a shower; (2) you are so concerned about how your legs will impress your teenage daughter; and, as a result of those two, (3) base their decisions upon how "cool" your legs will appear to other guys and teenage girls.
And no, I didn't think of that one in the shower.....sorry to burst your fantasies again, many of us do not think of you whiel we are in the shower.

Wow, another knee-slapper. You tri-guys are hysterical.
Face it. If you are a man and you shave more body hair each week than your mother does, you are a pussy and in serious violation of a man-law.

So I'm okay if I shave less per week than my mother? I do shave less than her. So I am not in violation of your "man-law"
What about shaving my rudder?
Face it - you couldn't even pass the LSAT's to get into man-law school. What a f'n homophobe to base personal decisions upon whether or not others will think you are not a man. That alone tells you that you are not.

Shit, now your throwing the LSATs at me! You really know how to hurt a guy you big meanie!!
I shave everything, including the 'rudder'.
My wife loves it, and my legs look great in photos.
It is true that it is easier to get the grit out after a bike crash (I have not experienced this personally, touch wood), and massages are much easier on hairless legs (my masseuse would agree).
