      Men should not shave, the bristly grow out is unpleasant, everywhere! feel free to trim if it's getting long/bushy-that's anywhere (chest, eyebrows, things covered by a speedo) but legs can be as hairy as they are... If you really want to be less hairy I would say go for laser, especially if there's back hair.

      Thank God! I hate that men and women want their partners to be bare. It f**king weirds me out!!
      The heart wants what the heart wants, and people make sure you end up with somebody compatible.
      That is key....

      try veet/nair?

      Definitely do NOT, I repeat do NOT, use Nair on your nether regions (i.e., man parts, peas/carrots, frank/beans, etc.).
      I've used Nair on my back, and after I was done I kind of felt like I had a mild sunburn on my back........now picture that same feeling down below.

      Shaving the back is fine... but men with hair on their chest is sexy.

      NO YOU SHOULDN"T! Its gross. Little boys dont have hair...and if a woman wants a little boy, then i think you should double check who your getting with.

      Couldn't the same be said about the other way around??? Little girls don't have hair and if a man wants a little girl, then you should double check who you are getting with.

      some guys just cut the hair, so it's shorter, it's not like a girl's body and it's still sexy :)

      a man should take care of himself and not let the nasty hair grow all over

      I get my chest waxed every couple of weeks which i think looks and feels quite good apart from the odd annoying ingrown hair. But. Never ever ever again will i shave my pubes from above Mr Winkie. Nice and smooth for a while? yes. But holy s**t the itching when growing back was almost unbareable! So take note before shaving your privates guys. Not worth having a shaven member if your going to be walking aroung scratching them so much that every girl that looks at you is gonna think you have a bad case of crabs!
      Just thought i'd share that. :)

      Great. This has been quite informative.

      Apparently, the consensus is that men should shave everywhere. Except for the arms and legs. And chest. And better to trim down there, not shave everything. Or, rather, just shave it all down there. But you don't want to look like a 12-year old boy, so don't shave down there. Or just don't let it become prickly. Besides, real men don't shave at all. Unless they want sex, then they shave everything. Or not.

      It's so clear now!

      I think the only true consensus was on this: if you have back hair, guys, shave it...

      My boyfriend is real hairy, I don't love it, but I don't hate it. At least I know he's a man lol.

      How about this...
      Just be who you are, and let the cards fall where they may. Everybody is rejected by somebody, and nobody is accepted by everybody. When I have to start primping myself like a girl to get a girl, she's not worth it.
      Move on :drinker:
      It's not like there is any shortage of beautiful ladies, and guess what?
      There will be plenty who like you just the way you like yourself, so shave or do whatever, but do it for you.

      I'd hope you'd have other clues...

      We both shave all over. Much nicer and I'm 63 by the way so not always a younger woman thing. My Partner wanted me to wax him once but he was a bit of wimp LOL. So he shaves now.

      I am not a big fan of back hair at all, so yup shaved...haha
      "down there" is a must too.
      The rest of a man's body just needs to be trimmed and tidy.

      Oh an guys, trim up your neck line at least once a week between hair cuts. it makes all the difference in the world.

      Nicely trimmed men = more b*tches. What could be more manly than that?

      Usually means more men... no thanks. I will keep the fuzz.

      I like all the comments saying that shaving makes men look like 12 year old boys, and therefore anyone that wants to be with that must be a pedo, yet women are encouraged (to the point where, socially at least, they are forced) to shave their body hair pretty much wherever it grows. And many men are disgusted by arm pit hair, leg hair, pubic hair on a woman.

      If shaving makes you look like a child, then does that make most of the men (and women) in the western world pedos?

      The issue here is that for one gender, their natural state is demonized and must be waxed, shaved, plucked to perfection - whereas the other gender don't have the freedom to alter their natural state if they desire to.

      It's a very messed up world.

      Oh, and comments like, "I want a man not a woman", seriously? Shaving body hair makes you less of a man? BS. Am I less of a woman if I have armpit hair? of course not! Genders does not equal gender stereotyping. As long as you identify as a man, you are no more and no less of a man than any other man. What you choose to do with your body hair doesn't define you as a person, or alter your gender.

      This is almost as silly as the "rl wimminz haz curvez" thing

      Backs definitely need to be waxed, period. Wax your damn back. And pluck your unibrow because that's just wrong.
      Other than that, I like mine a little bit rugged. You have to groom though - rugged doesn't mean fur rugged. ;) I appreciate a man taking the time to groom and look presentable both dressed and undressed.

      Hell, I hardly even shave my face!

      :drinker:

      Definitely depends on the person. I've always though it was creepy when men shaved/waxed. In my opinion, you're a man, and that means you should be more hairy than me.

      I completely agree. Men should have hair. Being clean and shaving your face is plenty.

      :drinker: The most balanced comment on here JaffaCakes. The only comment I'd add is that in my experience it's women that have the biggest problem with hair - their own or what they'd like on their partner. Personally I don't mind female body hair in the slightest as long as it isn't a full beard and moustache, or as shaggy as a Silverback.

      I like to stay very well groomed. Everything clean, neat, and presentable.

      You look how you feel.
