An Epidemic of Massive Proportions

It seems like there is an epidemic among men who have lost weight, look at almost any before and after picture of a guy who has lost weight. When they were bigger their chests were covered in hair, but now that they are in shape it has disappeared. I am quite a long way into my weight loss journey, and have yet to be afflicted by this terrible thing, but I fear I may be days away.

So ladies do you prefer this, or should the hair stay. Also to the guys, why did you do this, and if you haven't do you plan on it.


Note: I'm not passing judgment on anyone who has done this, it’s just Friday and I felt like having some fun :drinker:

    No no!!! Keep the hair! I'm sorry, but I can't stand that polished look on a man. Not on real men at least. Yeah, the calender type guys look pretty damn hot all, still fake though. Guys should care about how they look and all, but when it goes as far as plucking, tweezing and waxing then that's a little much. Unless you look like cousin It.

    I like men with natural body hair. Shaved or waxed chests look odd to me. Back hair is not sexy though...

    Not a fan of chest hair. Fortunately, my husband doesn't naturally have much!

    I like a little chest hair. If you take off your shirt and it still looks like youre wearing one, that's too much for me. lol

    If a guy isn't too hairy then I like the natural look. If you are particularly furry, though, then no.

    I won't be shaving my chest hair or legs or arms...I am not a bodybuilder or anything...just natural me and I am fine with that.

    I don't have back hair so that's a big bonus ha ha LOL. I have lost 42 lbs since I started this journey and never once was tempted to shave...only my head :drinker:

    Guess I can answer my own question, I have done this in the past, with an ex girlfriend who wasn't a fan of chest hair, I also think I did it with my wife once, just for the hell of it, but I won't be doing it again. Just to much work, thats why I like being a man, no need to shave other than my face. :bigsmile:

    Call me old fashion, but I prefer hair on a man's chest, but not so much on the back.

    At the gym, it's weird seeing men with shaved legs.

    I'll be 58 in September. Back in 1978, a boyfriend surprised me with a shaved groin. Needless to say, I told him I didn't "do" little boys. We wound up playing cards instead..

    I'm open minded and don't have a problem with individual preferences -- that's what makes life so interesting!

    Whatever floats your boat . . . live and let live.

    A little bit is fine, but if you start shedding and beating your chest like a gorilla, well, no thanks.

    Chest hair was worked for Tom Selleck for decades. If you shave it remember its hair, it grows back.

    I on the other hand just don't have any chest hair at all. so the shave is not even an option.

    My wife has forbidden me to shave my chest hair. I think that is a good thing.

    I have to agree with your wife! My husband thinks he's excessively hairy, but he isn't - an average amount of chest hair. I don't want that shaved chest because when it starts to grow back, the last thing I want is a giant, prickly brillow pad against me! If you naturally have no chest hair, that's fine, too. Go with what god gave ya!

    Derek Hough took his shirt off for dancing with the stars and his hairless chest was not a turn on! Max on the other hand is mighty fine that way! Maybe there is something to it other than the hair factor!

    I think most guys who are naturally hairy but only start shaving after getting fit do it because it's easier to show off your cut body when there's nothing covering it.

    I do shave regularly (always have) - so I'll continue to do so after I get to my goal physique. *shrug*

    My chest hair, small amount of back hair, and hair in a few other places actually bothers me. I'll never shave my arms or legs but once I'm in shape I'm waxing all the rest. If that makes me less manly then so be it. At least I'll be having the most fun on the slip n slide.

    I love chest hair. My husbands chest hair is still coming in, thank goodness, at 25 years old. He was a ate bloomer though.
