Are women forgetting that men are supposed to be hairy?

When I lie in bed naked with my hairy chest and pubic area on full display, my wife just goes wild with desire. Try it guys.

Back in the '70s, it would have been considered really weird for a guy to shave his chest. It was something that only some competitive swimmers, bodybuilders, and a few sexually ambiguous men would do. Years later, I started to notice that a lot of young guys had no hair on their chests. I was surprised later to read that many young men shave their chests. How common is it? Has it become the norm rather than the exception?

And the problem is, once you shave your chest, you have shave everywhere else or you'd end up looking like a poodle. Imagine having a hairy back and forearms with a hairless chest. You would have to shave everywhere and I don't have the time nor the flexibility to do that.

I haven't heard many women chime in on this thread yet.

I bike so I shave my legs.

I shave my head so I don't have to shower in the morning (hate wearing a hat).

I shave my chest because I don't like chest hair.

Love women with hairy pits though...

Don't have kids.

why did I laugh out loud at his post and your response. maybe I am drunk. Maybe it is way to late. But it was friggin funny.

That's kind of a dumb argument. No, they're not forgetting that men are naturally hairy. Not any more than men are forgetting that women are naturally (...)

(...) representing whatever your taste in women isn't.

Many (not all) women just think that shaven men look better. Much like many (not all) men think that skinny women with shaven legs and disproportionately large boobs look better...

And it's ridiculous to read it as an aversion to "macho" or "masculine" men. What, are letsrunners actually closet psychologists? Letsrun usually makes fun of psychological analysis.

Yeah, I was wondering about that "poodle" look. Do these guys shave their whole bodies (aside from selected parts of their heads)? It sounds as though you'd end up looking like a reptile with a hairpiece, but maybe it looks cool. I don't know.

It would be interesting to hear from women on this subject.

LL, please!

Our expertise is not so narrow. We're closet know-it-alls. Except most of us are out of the closet, more than happy to tell you that we really do know it all.

P.S. While the hairless thing may be about trying to escape masculinity for some dudes, there days it's obviously more about trying to escape (the animal core of) humanity more often. People are increasingly uncomfortable with their animal natures as Western society's self-concept focuses more and more on the mental (at the expense of the physical and probably the spiritual) - we're increasingly supposed to be just thinking machines with eyes and ears, and a little disgusted by that animal stuff. So people want to look like androids. And eat android food, e.g. meat products like frozen preformed hamburgers and boneless skinless chicken breasts, packaged and frozen, where the most crucial virtue is that they bear zero resemblance to the animal they came from.
