A Hairy Chest. Yay or Nay?

[doowopgirl]

I agree with skimom. No hair on a man looks adolescent. Grown men have hair. What ever is natural for you is what you should go with. While I do believe in personal grooming I have never understood why women have to pretend to be completely hairless. I know women who shave their forearms. As for bikini waxing and brazilians no freaking way! I'm a grown up and I have body hair. Deal with it.

You're ignoring the aerodynamic benefits should you find yourself nude skydiving or something of that nature.

I sport the Ben Franklin look in my personal hygiene. The best of both worlds.

Edited to add: just in case anyone thought that was serious.

For me personally, I like the feel of being smooth even more than the look of it (my arm hair doesn't bother me...it's very light and fine). I don't require hubby to remove his body hair, but he knows he needs to keep it neatly trimmed.
If he was extremely hairy, I probably wouldn't have dated him in the first place.

Depends on the guy. Some look good with, others look good without.

I generally prefer a smooth-skinned man, but there are exceptions to every rule. Same thing with facial hair. I generally don't like a beard or mustache on a guy, but Tom Selleck DEFINITELY looks better with a mustache.

And Dan Haggerty ROCKED that beard.

And then there's Sam Elliott...

Okay, I gotta prove to you and skimom2 that hairless does not equal adolescent.

I like all the mens - hairy or otherwise. But if forced to pick one - I'd have to go with hairy. Men tend to get hairier there as they age - they lose it up top and get all hairy chested and strong. I got married at 21, and my husband was not hairy chested then - he was still young, and I liked him that way. But as he gets older, he just gets more handsome and hairy.

Havent even thought about it and Havent even considered doing any changes on myself. But to each his or her own.

Top guy is icky. Chris Evans is an angel (and I don't even like blonds, generally). Both would look better with a little sprinkle of chest hair. I'm betting both are waxed here. In fact, I know Evans is: this is a pic from Puncture (a damn good movie, BTW, if you haven't seen it)
