Should Men Shave, or Not?

Jun 15, 2013 at 12:54 PM

What do you guys think? Should men shave/wax/weed-eat their faces, chests, bodies, or do you think they shouldn't? Why? I would also like to add, Should men have long hair or short hair? Do you find it better, worse, or no difference?

I'm guessing people are deliberately looking for an argument...why can't we just get along and agree to disagree?

Personally, if I have a boyfriend, I am going to request that he shaves his legs. I don't think it's fair that women have to keep up their legs if they are going to show skin in public, and I don't want to rub legs with someone hairy.

As for facial hair, it depends on the style. Personally I like the stubble of the first few days after shaving.

How about clean shaven with pubes and *** also shaved? That's how my gf likes me anyway...

LiteraryLark · Jun 15, 2013 at 01:04 PM

Yes, I do not want pubes in my mouth!

Hey, that's what Listerine is for!!! I'm not looking for an argument at all! I hate arguing but I'm quite good at it when I really apply myself lol. I just found all the attention on the female looks was kind of getting me down as the females were being rebuked harshly by males and I hoped to equalize the playing field. SO if you will please..no arguing just social chat!

I didn't realise people were arguing, merely discussing facts and opinions.

Surely discussion and debate does not an argument make?

Your signature photo reminds me of the life alert..."Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

The makeup discussion seemed pretty heated to me.

Well someone suggested arguing was in the mix and again I hoped to dispell that idea

Actually, quite the contrary. The rat, though once trapped beneath the land of the living, saw a light above his head. He went toward that light. He saw a narrow, narrow way. It was his only way out. He thought, perhaps I can not do this. Perhaps it was not meant for me to live free.

His heart then grasped a word. A word of hope. He believed he had nothing to lose. He poked his head through that narrow way. Behold, it was nearly crushing. Yet, he was somehow able to inch by inch, moment by moment, proceed. His face was nearly free! He could see others walking by! He wanted to join such a fantastic world!

He pawed his claws, it was coming easier now. He pulled himself up from his prison of darkness. All he has left to do, is take in the breathtaking view, thank his Creator, and scurry down the lane. Quite inspiring, when I think about the journey and the courage and the faith that rat most certainly possesses. What a rat indeed.

So that photo reminds me to never give up! You can be free Lightbulb7Seven!

I'll shave my face and trim up in certain areas but that's it. No shaving of the chest or legs.

Jun 15, 2013 at 01:24 PM

I really personally, hate guys with long hair on their heads! I have always been this way. But some of my girlfriends INSIST that it is sexy and attractive!!! It repulses me to no end. I would rather be alone than be with someone with long hair! Sorry if I offend anyone! But the heart wants what it wants

I didn't see armpit hair explicitly mentioned. It can go along with facial hair. My wife convinced me of that.

On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with leg hair on men or women.

My thing about beards is not that they look good or not, it's how sloppy SOME men can be about eating and getting food on them. I don't appreciate a wet hairy kiss after my H dribbles water on his chin and thinks a quick wipe dries it off. I quess it's hard to know if you got ice cream on your facial hair.

Sometimes psychotic · Jun 15, 2013 at 01:39 PM

My preference is for long hair on the head...but not sloppy at all I'm looking for someone in the metrosexual class. I especially love it when they have to keep pushing bangs out of their eyes. For some reason I find that super hot.

LiteraryLark · Jun 15, 2013 at 01:40 PM

Armpit hair definitely needs to be removed. Especially if you're shirtless or wearing a tank top (or worse, can be seen through a regular t-shirt sleeve). Yuck.

I think one or two posts were a little firey due to my poor choice of thread title.

Not that I've never done it, but nobody should take online stuff too seriously to the point that they get angry etc. Especially in a simple silly debate

emgreen · Jun 15, 2013 at 01:45 PM

I think people should do as they please. I prefer a clean-shaven face (though I don't shave each day) & I feel sorry for women who feel they have to shave...Face it, shaving's a pain in the ***. In eastern Europe women don't shave & no one thinks this odd. Shaving is just a cultural thing.

Jun 15, 2013 at 01:49 PM

I would never shave my armpit hair. I also gotta say I don't like women with hairy legs.

Why not? It's just a trap for smelly bacteria...the armpit hair that is. It doesn't define masculinity or anything because women have it too until they shave.
