Should guys shave their armpits?

[ChrilleG41]

I was just wondering if women find it attractive if a man shaves his armpits.

Yes, shaven = better

No, it's sexy

Just trim it!

Wow, this is really fifty fifty.
So far more girls seem to like it not shaved. I get that, manliness and all.

It's interesting how guys believe that it's better shaven while the majority of girls think otherwise.

No longer fifty fifty, it seems like it's divided and there probably is no answer, except that everyone has different has a taste.

Thanks for voting!

From what I have read, here is what I would do:

1) Shave your back. Back hair = NO
2) Trim your armpits, torso, and pubes
3) Shave or trim your balls if you want her to... do stuff with them
4) Leave your legs and arms alone

[FamousAF]

Also, a hairy ass is probably not super attractive, so maybe trim that too.

[xTom98]

I actually wax my torso 😅 but your list seems correct 👍🏼

[FamousAF]

@xTom98 Sure, that's fine too.

[Poormanscomedian]

Dont shave your butt , it will just grow thicker next time

[Browneye57]

Whomever said yes is a fool. Either gender. Just be a man - hair and all.

Smart girls know what testosterone does, even if it's purely unconscious.

[Browneye57]

On update...
Any guy that is shaving his armpits needs to have his man card revoked. Period. OMFG

I'll be they're the same ones with a 'man-bun', shave their legs, and considers makeup good for men too. Wow.

[ChrilleG41]

I like your confidence, but it leaves no room for discussion, which makes it harder for you to convince others that your opinion is "right".

Thanks for the input though!

[Browneye57]

I don't need to discuss it. At all.
My youngest, the son, was whining about all the hair on his legs when he was going through puberty. I laughed and told him it was part of being a man and not to worry about it, he would see soon enough.
Guess what? He's proud of all that hair now. Testosterone grows a LOT of hair. A very virile man will have a lot of hair. And women know what that means. :)
But we have a lot of confused types these days, both genders, that can't even identify with their own gender. So they want others to be just all weirded out like them - guys being feminine, girls being masculine, or the new fad, the 'asexual'. pfft. Talk about confusion. LOL

[ChrilleG41]

I agree on basically everything you say honestly, but that doesn't mean everyone who thinks differently is a freak.

I also heavily agree on the confusion and insecurity these new "genders" are bringing to society. But we still have to respect these, because the world Is not always black and White. :)

[ChrilleG41]

these people*

[Browneye57]

Well, I didn't call them freaks, YOU did. But fits nonetheless. LOL

No, YOU can be the one to explain it to them, to coddle them. I'm just going to go on living my groovy life man. :)

[Ellie-V]

If someone expects me to shave, then I’m DEFINITELY returning the favor. Otherwise, I don’t give a fuck.

[jsixis]

So because your man wants you to look like a chick, he has to look like a chick?

[Ellie-V]

I’m sure that you don’t agree based off of your response, but having hair is natural. The fact is that women have less hair than men. But that doesn’t mean women should be required to have no hair at all. If I shave, it is because I want to. I’m not going to do it out of REQUIREMENT. Because I shouldn’t have to. I’m comfortable with myself. And I wouldn’t ever require anyone to not be comfortable with themselves because it wouldn’t be fair. However, if you will expect me to do something that I don’t agree with, I will make it even and expect the same out of them. A dude shaving doesn’t suddenly make them look female, in my eyes. So your argument doesn’t make sense to me.

[jsixis]

Women shave their legs and their armpits. If you dont know that then you are not a woman. Its feminine, its attractive, its clean. Men dont do that unless they want dick in their ass or swim professionally. If i see a girl with armpit hair it makes me want to gag and think theyre some holier than thou feminist.

[jsixis]

Armpit hair isn't even uncomfortable on the “looks like a guy” level, it just looks gross on a woman.

[ChrilleG41]

@jsixis, Please be respectful while writing. She is a woman even if she doesn't those things.

Those are just norms society has created, and if someone doesn't want to follow them it's their choice.

[Ellie-V]

@ChrilleG41 EXACTLY!!!
@jsixis I do know what other women do. And I am still a woman. I shave when I want to and when I do it, it is for myself. I am not looking to impress anyone. So I don’t give a fuck about what you think. It has nothing to do with feminism. It’s all about making sure I AM HAPPY. When I don’t shave, I still look nothing like a man. At all. I couldn’t even if I tried.

[jsixis]

Im not saying you aren't a woman OR that you look like a man. Im saying you look gross and unappealing. You can be as happy as you want just make sure you avoid tank tops

[Ellie-V]

To you, I’m gross and unappealing. But I actually have dudes left and right trying very hard to get at me whether my hair is shaven or not. I look great in tank tops either way. Thanks for the advice, but I really don’t need it 😬☺️💕

[jsixis]

Maybe because you look easy and trashy with your chewbaca arms

[jsixis]

They think you're one of those slutty hippies

[Ellie-V]

I really don’t look trashy, and I definitely am not a slut or a hippie. But I appreciate you making ridiculous assumptions about me, it really demonstrates how narrow minded and delusional you are ☺️💕

[ChrilleG41]

@Ellie-V, just ignore him at this point. It's clear that he isn't looking for a discussion.

[Final_Sora]

Ignore him he's just sad he has a little pepe

I don't like people who are rude just for the fun of it

[jsixis]

Lol you guys must be into girls with armpit hair

[jsixis]

Asshole? With a statement like that you probably bleach yours

[Jon_25]

@jsixis Is that even safe? ? Fuck, that sounds like something my drugbrother would've done on a dare. What the fuck makes you think I'd put BLEACH on my body anywhere? That's what you mop floors with, and, wash towels with. That shit doesn't belong on an asshole. That sounds like it would burn.

[jsixis]

Well Jon, statistics show that lmao jk good sport

[Jon_25]

@jsixis Haha ya. Bleach does NOT go there.

[Poormanscomedian]

Women are supposed to be soft

[Ellie-V]

@Poormanscomedian
According to you

[VIVANT]

no one 'should' but i prefer shaved on all genders.

[VIVANT]

its cleaner and hair sprouting out from pits is especially nauseating.

[VIVANT]

plus thats close to where my head will go when in laying in bed.

[ChrilleG41]

Haha, thanks for the input!

[VIVANT]

You know, it is not surprising many guys prefer to shave. If you think of it, all the time spent expecting Women to shaver, bc its clean, or attractive or smooth etc. This must rub off. I can not imagine preferring others to groom without preferring it from myself.

[VIVANT]

Thank you 🌹

[Poormanscomedian]

Arm pits?

[TheFacetiousCook]

So I knew that majority of women were going to say to leave it long cuz they find it sexy, and it's true the majority of women do fine armpit hair to be sexy shows manliness however trimming it makes it easier on one since you don't have to deal with as much hair breakage on your deodorant what not

[VIVANT]

Majority do not find it sexy.

[Mishthefish]

No , I prefer a man to look like a man. Hairy men look manly-er

[Ciel_sky]

I personally prefer a bit hairy or trimmed because its manly, never bare.
I known a guy who I used to talk to and was okay, until I heard he shaved his pubes and armpit hair... no just no.

[ChrilleG41]

Really? Is that such a huge turnoff for you?

[Ciel_sky]

I mean, if they are active and fit, it's okay. I'm fit and active, I only trim. It would be weird to see a guy completely bald in those places.
But the guy I was talking to was a bit chunky. It's like seeing a child's body, not something I want to see in my opinion.

[ChrilleG41]

So if i understand you, you think that it doesn't matter on muscular guys while it does matter on a Little chubbier guys?

[Ciel_sky]

Yes. Fit men are more understanding to why they do it, but I don't prefer it, still.

[ChrilleG41]

Alrighty! Thanks for your input :)

[ThreeSheetsToTheWind]

It's down to personal choice. I don't think it matters too much as long as you maintain good hygiene. Personally I prefer keeping mine hair free though. I understand that this might not be attractive to some women, but I'm not doing it for their benefit.

[witherwing]

I don't find armpits attractive either way. The sweat and smell is easier to manage with shaved armpits, but they make so much better antiperspirants for men, so that's not really an issue. 🤷🏼

[VIVANT]

yeah but the smell if the deoderant stink lol

[HaveNoName]

- Antiperspirants are dangerous for health.
- They leave an irreversible and disgusting stain on your clothes.
- Deodorants are fine
- Removing hair is the first step towards decreasing the need to apply deos.

[witherwing]

I've never seen any deodorants that weren't antiperspirants being sold, so I don't really have a choice. 😂

[HaveNoName]

Yeah. I agree.. it's a mission in the women's variety. But please.. it is worth every effort to search for it even if you have to spend a little extra. Just a sincere advice.

[witherwing]

I just Googled how much deodorants without aluminum cost here. 22€ vs. the 2€ my antiperspirant costs. Yeah, no thanks.

[HaveNoName]

Dang !! That is murder !!!

[Jon_25]

What do I vote if I'm a man, and I think shaving is stupid if you're doing it for anyone besides yourself?

[LiLithy]

they should do what ever they want to do. what matters is that they are happy themselfs.

[Jemini_Crocket]

I prefer shaven over hairy but if it's trimmed, it's fine.

[pleasestopthis]

I honestly don't care. I don't mind if he has hairy armpits, unless he has huge bushes under his arms LOL

[Mexicoman101]

I don't think women prefer less hair on a man in general when it comes to the chest and pits area.

[Greendog]

Wow its strange that a lot of women like hairy armpits, I always shave them and i will keep shaving, because I personally hate hairy armpits

[VIVANT]

yeah i do not understand. maybe if guys are hairy its easier for them to feel attractive? like its luck to be born pretty, its work to exercise, but shaving relatively is pretty easy way to feel pretty. and its only special if the guy is hairy. this is the only sensei can make bc who can LIKE hairy arm pits lolol c'mon.

[KatherineJ]

I like my guy to have hair in places where a guy should have hair.

[egykimo]

I Shave no matter if they like it or not. Its my preference and for my hygiene

[VIVANT]

Thank you!

[egykimo]

Hehehe welcome its what I used to do and still. I know it's less shame in guys unlike women but for me it's essential like I can't feel I am clean enough if I don't shave up and down as well

[VIVANT]

I understand lol 🙂🙂

[talltom94]

I trim because I find I sweat a lot more when it's not trimmed

[greeneggo]

I'll shave it if they start to bother me. But either way I doubt anyone will judge you

[LeaLee]

No, I prefer it natural

[IamShyyy]

Just trim it ok. No big bush that’s disgusting, but a little hair is definitely also okay

[Anonymous]

It probably depend on where you are from. In my country men with unshaven armpits are mocked and called gross. Girlfriends often make them shave.

[wayy11aa]

as a matter of hygiene

[cherryphi82]

Yes, shave 'em. We have to, so you should also.

[ChrilleG41]

You don't "have to". It's your choice. My question was whether you think it's sexier for a man to be shaven or not.

[cherryphi82]

And I gave you my answer.
