    As an aerodynamic man there is no other option. I even got rid of my head hair.

    Getting laser hair removal for back and shoulders. Want a new look and to feel smoother. Think ill look better to women ,..😬.

    FWIW I definitely prefer men without back hair.

    It’s none of my business what people do with their body hair but shaven legs on a man looks odd to me, unless the man is a drag queen. Because I have a friend who is a drag queen and his legs would look weird unshaven. Context is everything.

    ANYONE should be allowed to shave whatever they please on their body. Men OR women. I could care less if my husband wanted to shave his legs, it's his body and his choice.

    if you believe in infinite universes and possibilities, it stands to reason in at least one of them, it's totally fashionable to shave your eyebrows off.

    so thank goodness the biggest issue we have facing out universe is the berenstain bears thing.

    Both men & women should do whatever is comfortable to them.

    It's not my preferred look for men, but I get there are sports that need it, and it doesn't necessarily bother me. The guys shaving their legs aren't hurting me.

    Nothing sexier than a hairy man. But you do you.

    Whatever makes YOU feel good. It really does not matter if others accept it or not life is too short to worry what others think. We spend too much time trying to fit in and whatever you choose will be fine. Personally I like some hair!

    It is considered super gay in my society, so I will not do that in the coming years.

    Happy Pride month :)

    Anyone should shave or not depending on their own preference. I don’t really care either way, but a super hairy back kind of grosses me out when I’m giving a massage or putting sunblock on him.

    Shaving your back and shoulders maybe, but legs? It's a bit weird. But I notice that the generation Z is very much into removing body hair.

    It’s always up to you. I have never tried shaving legs and will probably never try. I am too lazy for this, and it is too painful and time-consuming.
    An option called ipl hair removal device can help you get rid of most of your hair for a long time. It will be somehow painful, but the result will stay there for several months or more. So, it can be a good option for people who don’t want to spend too much time with all this stuff.
    So, as for now, I feel no urge to shave my legs. However, I cannot say the same about some other parts of my body.

    I often forget to shave my stubble on my face so I’m definitely not about to venture into more shaving territory lol.

    That said, if somebody wants to then more power to them!

    I’ve changed my mind. Hot wax for everyone!

    I shave almost all my body hair every time I shower. I prefer feeling smooth all over and it accentuates muscle definition. Been doing this for years. But I'm pretty hairless to begin with. My biggest concern was itch and moisturization. Using EOS Shea Butter colodial oatmeal shave cream has totallly reduced any razor burn or itch.

    @ninerbuff I like everything you do and say. 😁 I just do but I live on another planet. I can't begin to imagine all of these hunting outfitters, ranchers and farmers shaving their legs. Rolling ROFL's. I would be crawling around on my hands and knees watching that grooming ritual. It would lay me out flat on the ground. I can see how it shows off your muscle definition. I'd like to be in your gym because I think you're fun and good to people. It may be the new trend and eventually everyone will shave everything. We'll all be bald as billiard cubes.

    I hear ya. For me, it's because I work and live in a gym the majority of my time. It's an accepted culture here and I rarely hang out with anyone who doesn't work out. So for those that don't that I see on occasion, they think I'm weird. But I've always been weird so it's no big deal to me.

    When I was in the Army, I knew quite a few guys who shaved their legs. Not weird, came from a variety of backgrounds. There was one subset of dudes who also shaved their arms (NOT their armpits, I mean FOREARMS), and that... that was a little odd, because of how fast it grew back. Like, they'd have five o'clock shadows on their arms, and that just seems prickly and uncomfortable tbh
