Should Men Shave, or Not?

LMFAO!!! THat's how I am about the hair on my head!!! I haven't had a haircut in 7 years and I would rather lose a limb than cut my hair!!! LOL!

When I was living in eastern Germany, my girlfriend didn't shave. I've got to say, it took some getting used to, but there came a point where I didn't give it any thought. It was "normal" there.

My gf seemed so embarrassed when she couldn't shave for a while. I just thought... you look like a woman now lol.

I'm a seasonal shaver. I shave in the summer and hibernate in the winter. There's no point in shaving in the winter when I'm wearing pants all the time, but when I'm wearing a swimsuit I gotta look good.

How did this end up about women again....I thought it was a payback thread for the makeup one? Just for fun of course.

I do like goatees assuming it fits the man, but if you aren't going to have one then please shave because the stubble irritates the crap out of my face.
Chest hair really is okay with me, so its almost a turn off if a guy shaves it. I don't really care about back hair either but men sure do...I used to shave an ex's back for him in the summer time. Manscaping um "down there" is nice and appreciated.
The only men I have dated who have shaved their legs were cyclists and that was hot...the hot more being the cyclist part and the shaved legs just came along for the ride.
Oh and I had an ex with long hair (down a little past his shoulders) and it was super thick and wavy...I was just envious! He pulled it off well. You have to have the right hair/bone structure for that.
Men losing there hair are also much too sensitive about it...they can be just as attractive as a man with a full head of hair.

And I shave my legs every day because I HATE the way it feels otherwise, ugh.

I love it Sortafairytale! You shall be credited with coining the phrase "Manscaping"!!! But of course I'm stealing it lol!

My answer is the same as my answer to the make-up question. The guy should do whatever he likes and/or he feels looks best on him. I'm opposed to anyone telling anyone else what they should or shouldn't do about their appearance.

I voted for the stubbly face and managed body hair. I like a man to be a man, but I don't want it getting out of control because I try my best to keep myself groomed and he should too

Because there's such a thing as using soap and water and a deodorant. Also it's annoying to shave and I should imagine it itches a lot also.

There is soap and water and deodorant for women too but would that be acceptable in general? Doesn't itch at all at least not for me.

I didnt vote because my preference/choice was not there

I prefer well-groomed...

I certainly don't mind a little scruff in the am. And I prefer a clean head of hair (or even not so much)...but just clean.

Long hair and metro stuff not so much for me, though.

As for manscaping. Yes! But I just don't want to know about it. TMI. (I return the courtesy. I call that part of my life (mani/pedi, anything salon or spa-related, if asked) a "mystery appt"

Why not you and your man going to the salon together for waxes?

Lol....that is why I call it a "mystery" appt

I'm so glad my bf isn't very hairy and he practices regular "manscaping", because I am not comfortable with telling anyone what they "should" do, even if its my preferance

I have very little body hair myself, hell I have very little hair on the top of my head compared to most. Guess it just feels foreign to me then?

Also I HATE beard burn, my dad used to scrape his beard on my cheeks to irritate me when I was little, simply becoz he loved annoying people in general lol. So maybe my aversion to men with facewarmers is his fault I mean I think well groomed beards are sexy as hell, but I don't want it near me. Ever. Lmao

NICE!!!!

I was waiting for this thread to show up!!!

Long hair OK in certain types, but not generally.

I prefer beards, but am OK with no beard. All the other hair must be there on a man, without any exceptions. Beard/no beard is OK, but waxed bodies oh NO! And I do not even want to imagine an adult man with no pubic hair.

Armpit hair is very sexy as it has a musky scent that is WAY better than that of cologne and/or deodorant. It is a must, in my opinion. Plus, it just looks SO weird when men do not have armpit hair.

In general I love hair. I don't shave anything except parts of my face. I keep sideburns and a goatee. If I could possibly grow a huge ZZ Top beard, I would, but I just can't (although my father has a very full beard, lucky bastard).

As for women, the only thing I think is relatively mandatory is armpit hair. Leg hair I can deal with (although like many Asian women, my current girlfriend naturally doesn't grow it) and I strongly prefer an unshaved bush.

dag... now i'm being deleted.... gosh, maybe I was wrong... that men shaving or not is a sexual issue...... oh well...... my bad

being deleted is no biggie... am used to it......

come to think of it.. why just delete my post... why not just delete me...... again no biggie

Me too Radio Flyer. You are NOT alone.

I think it's because I'm a microbiologist. The smell a man has is directly due to bacterial colonization and not any intrinsic smell to the man although a particular man will smell a particular way due to the specific bacteria colonizing. I can walk through a lab and smell the same thing much more intensely so it doesn't turn me on.

Plus I was mostly playing with the guys. I only know of a few guys who shave their pits...mostly swimmers but also another microbiologist who agrees with me that it's kind of gross. I think it's hard to find my own hair disgusting and then embrace it on a man.

I know this could disgust some people lol, but I absolutely agree with Ham-Bam on this...I purposely sniff my husband's armpits and it really turns me on lol. I guess now that this thread has been moved here to the sexual forum I feel a little more freedom to express this lol. The hair on a man's body is sexy, plain and simple. When I see hairless guys I think, "I might as well be a lesbian" lol. Which I've tried that before too casually before marriage lol but it wasn't my cup of tea lol. I love the smell of sweat on my guy. Just me?! I doubt it lol.

Oh wow! We moved it?! That is funny to me

Funny to me, too At least the makeup thread was moved, too!! No double standard
