Body builders do it all the time.

Does between the legs count?

The only time I’ve shaved my legs is for cycling or running. Otherwise, I have no reason.
My chest hair is here to stay; I don’t care what poeple think looks good in an Abercrombie and Fitch ad.

…unless I’m modeling for a Fluther avatar shot.

lots of girls like some body hair. A&F ads are pretty, but don’t look very snuggly

I personally have no preference either way, on if a guy shaves or not. My husband used to shave all over, but not his legs. He trims up, but doesn’t really shave anymore. Sometimes he shaves his abdomen and chest, and pubes…but that happens every so often lol

I’ve never had a reason to shave my abdomen or legs for any reason. The only exception to this was when I was being prepped for surgery for an appendectomy. I like my hair where it is and it looks good also and I think this way because I know I’m a handsome and desirable man.

Men shaving their bodies make for really coarse scratchies.
I remember athletes doing it but not so much anyone else.

Only if it’s on my chin up. I’d just feel weird anyways, my chest is pretty much naturally hairless.

Yeah I’d have to agree with some other comment’s in relation to the male shaving thing. I’ve only ever known atheletic guy’s into sport’s that have shaved their leg’s, underarm’s, abdomen region etc x_x

My view on it, well I think its okay it does not mean anything remotely feminine or “gay” to do so I feel. If you look good shaved is an added bonus =P and can be attractive.

F.Y.I , definetely a must for those guy’s in particular that have those hairy chest’s and shoulder blade’s to shave =P =^.^=

My now exboyfriend used to shave it alllll off when he was a pretty competitive swimmer. Looked nice since he was so ripped. But it was weird having him be able to “relate” to my razor bump woes and such. Hah. When he stopped that he still shaved his “happy trail.” I finally convinced him to stop because I liked it :)

But in general, eh, to each his own I guess. Same with girls, to each her own.

I think that preference is a generational thing. I’ve noticed that younger girls (teens and early 20s) prefer hairless guys. Me? Not so much. It’s too much like a little kid, and I don’t like feeling like a pedophile. I appreciate a trim on the chest and other places can’t say too much, my mom is on this thread, but an all over hairless man is unattractive to me.

I appreciate a little manscaping. But I don’t particularly care for complete hairlessness even for women, so…

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Personally, I wouldn’t like it. I like a natural looking guy all over. BUT, hairy, furry men all over their shoulders, back…that totally grosses me out.

Hair is for bears.

I like when men keep body hair trimmed down. I don’t want a man that has no body hair, but I don’t like the fur snowsuit either. The only place I don’t like to see it is neck/ shoulders/ back area.
