in Chit-Chat
So at fancy pants dinner with friends, and my Russian friends-boy friend mentions that all though he gets his nails done, and drops obscene amounts on hair cuts like me, at least he doesn't shave his chest! :noway: - and everyone around burst into laughter...

:embarassed:

And I was thinking... literally had shaved my chest an hour prior to this dinner...

I mention my friend is Russian because I know they approve of their men being a tad more hairy then any of the hispanic or asian ladies I've dated.. or so I've thought :grumble:

So is it a cultural thing? or should one only shave their chest if their body fat percentage is under 10%?

Whats the norm here gentleman? And whats the preference pretty ladies of MFP?

    I think whatever makes the guy feel comfortable. My guy is a redhead and has an average amount of downy chest hair. He buzzes it off periodically which is cooler for him and makes bicyclist-type shirts fit nicely. I don't really have a preference about the hair because he's very hot both ways! But I don't love the stubbly feel of it until it gets to a longer, softer length again. I think if a guy had very thick dark chest hair and shaved, it might feel a bit stubbly all of the time and I wouldn't wanna get up against that, personally. I would prefer unshaven or maybe lightly trimmed in that case...JMHO.

    I buzz it all off once every 3-4 weeks with spot touch ups.

    I think chest hair is sexy. As long as it isn't too out of control.
    The biggest thing is the guy has to comfortable with it. If he's self-conscious about it, it is usually very apparent and can be a mood killer.

    I like my husband to have a little chest hair, but he usually shaves it off a couple of times during the summer. If you have crazy wild chest hair that pokes out of your polo shirt colar, then shave it. Also, if it grows weird and looks like a little chest landing strip, shave it.

    If my man shaves his body, he is going to have to wear panties and fingernail polish as well.

    I like my chest hair. I keep it trimmed so that it is managable.

    Pretty much this.

    Maybe I have low standards but, showering and brushing teeth regularly are really only personal grooming requirements.

    Mmmm chest hair... :heart:

    Not that I notice. Other qualities are much more important. Like intelligence and humor and kindness. But mmm...oh sorry.

    It's a personal preference. :) A good friend of mine loves her mans hairy chest. To me he looks a little sasquatchy. My husband shaves and I love it.

    Do what you feel comfortable doing. Who cares what your friend thinks. To each his own chest hair. Right?

    Balls and face are the only things to get shaved.
