Manscaping... Good, Bad, or ugly?

Now that I lost a bunch of weight, I can finally reach all parts of my back with my wet/dry male body shaver. I'm just wondering if I should use it, and how extensively.

Is manscaping merely some future relic of the then-extinct metrosexual? What parts do the ladies like manscaped, and what parts should we leave alone? Inquiring minds want to know...

    Ear holes

    OK, long before manscaping, let's all agree that ears and noses always needed to be trimmed, even if you're on a Paleo diet. I'm fairly certain the Paleo women burnt off the nose and ear hair of their Paleo men before they would let them touch any of the merch.

    Shave your balls, trim your bush, nose, and ears. Your legs, back, shoulders, and chest you can shave or trim as feels comfortable to you. But these things you should only do for you, not at some woman's whim that you have yet to meet.

    Let's just say my fiancé know I won't touch him unless he has shaved everywhere except a small patch on his chest.

    Well then I hope for his sake that he does not touch you unless you are groomed to his exact preference.

    If a guy has not much hair on his chest, it isn't necessary to remove it. If he is really hairy though, he ought to shave it off. But to manscape the crotch area is just plain ridiculous! I am a girl and I absolutely refuse to bikini-shave, which would also be ridiculous. If I were to put on a swimsuit that revealed crotch hair, well, I would be wearing a ridiculous garment that made no sense at all.

    i would say i like things trimmed / groomed (doesn't have to be bald, but short is good) but hair is not a deal breaker unless i can braid it :wink:

    I really only ever dated one guy who did any manscaping.... personally I wasn't a big fan... shaved hairs can get stubbly and uncomfortable... As far our bodies and physical intimacy is concerned it is a strictly form follows function kinda deal.

    Why? I say don't bother. My guy doesn't and I love it. He is a fuzzy dude too.

    Right? That just sounds crazy.

    One of the givens of being a male is you don't really have to do this stuff, you lucky dogs!
    Find out what the women who will date you want. Just go with that. Try to please your partner, unless it is a pain. If they demand from you, make sure you have some demands too! It's OK to be who you are. Shaming can be a power ploy. Two can play that game, and she won't respect you if you don't stand up for some of what you want. The best defensive is a good offensive.

    Um, do what you want. But manscaping is a good thing.

    My ex didn't want me doing it and I didn't really care either way at the time. But now I just think it looks better which is why I'm doing it now. I figure I will do what I want and if I meet a woman that likes it then great. But I wouldn't change my personal grooming habits just to please someone else. Next thing you know she's telling me to stop working out or something crazy like that too. Like me for who I am or don't. If not someone else will.

    I'd rather be with a hairy gentleman rather than have to deal with chest hair stubble. That stuff's scratchy.
