Interesting how close the poll results are so far, between yes and no.

My girlfriend has very definite views on this. One time, to surprise her, I shaved my chest hair, pubes and armpits. She was surprised all right - she hated it. She said she wants a man to look like a man, not like he'd yet to go through puberty.

Now grant, I shaved more than you asked about in your question, but there are - at least in my gfd's view - just things that make guys look like guys. Besides, the evolutionary reason for male body hair is, in part, to help capture pheromones that make guys more attractive to females.

When you shave - and that includes armpit hair - you are basically helping to send your sex appeal into space. Why the hell would any guy want to do that?

Thanks, I'll keep my body hair - armpits and all. Besides, what girlfriend wants, girlfriend gets.

Saw your update. That is a bit of a surprise, though it is my understanding that shaving armpit hair is actually more common in Europe. (We had several lifeguards at a neighborhood swimming pool last year - all from Serbia and Croatia and all with shaved armpit hair. (Yeah, weird thing to notice - but hell, 1 is eh, 5 is "What the hell?")

Anyhow, my girlfriend has told me no way - and her vote counts as 30 if I want sex. So...

Oh wow I actually voted wrong cuz I translated underarm wrong._. I feel so dumb cuz I was about to "rant" over the wrong meaning xD anyways
I personally do it, and most men I know do it.. If it's is "basic"
hygene I can't say for sure but I believe it has more to do with your ancestry and how much hair naturally grows on your body.

Have a good day!

Eww Obviously! Who likes stinky beasts? Not at all acceptable! We women aren't fools to invest so much time in our well being & apparently meeting societal standards of being hairless, you should do basic self-care too. & I say not just underarms but hands & legs too.

[guyuser2]

Exactly. Men need more hair removal than women do

[Opinion Owner]

True

[ciitruskiwi]

"who likes stinky beasts?"

Please tell me what you said was sarcasm because you know as long as the guy showers and cleans himself that he won't stink right?

[guyuser2]

@ciitruskiwi if he is hairy then he is more likely to get sweaty and stinky very easily and slo hairy looks beastly.

[Opinion Owner]

@ciitruskiwi No it wasn't sarcasm, I meant it. Having body hair is unhygienic, especially for men, they sweat a hell lot more than women, they should do basic cleaning, (and by basic cleaning I do mean including hair removal) or else they're no different than dirty animals & why to disrespect animals, even animals clean themselves!

[guyuser2]

WTH..
You being too mean now. Now you say even animals are cleaner than hairy men?🙊🤔

[Opinion Owner]

Lol 😂 @guyuser2 absolutely no! I meant hairy men WHO DON'T MAKE ANY EFFORT TO BE CLEAN & HYGIENIC are worse than animals.

I don’t care mine didn’t and I’ve dated them that didn’t there guys didn’t care but mine shaves his belly arms underarms and I wouldn’t want anything different now

[ToddyWoddy]

I've tried it, but I sweat too much working in the summer. I'll do HVAC in 130 degree attics. I'd get bad rashes. But I now keep it shorter with clippers than before. So it doesn't hang out when you're wearing a tank.

[Glass_Cat]

I don’t care, if he wants to then he should, if he doesn’t then he shouldn’t 😋

[redrocket68]

Hell no

[M-ikaela]

there should be no ''should'' or ''shouldn't''. It's only up to you where you want to keep your body hair so it's neither a yes or no

[danpossibly]

It should just be a trim, given mens propensity for growing underarm hair and how damp it gets in there, completely shaving it can lead to painful ingrown hairs

[BeerFarts]

Most guys don't (including me) unless they're a professional wrestler. Most wrestlers shave their underarms because they put their opponents in a headlock a lot so they don't want their sweaty armpits all up on their opponent's faces. Lmao.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Well, it's their choice. I shave mine, as I think it looks better and cuts down on odour and sweat.

[FaustsFaun]

No. But then again your body your rules. It doesn't affect me.

[guyuser2]

Guys should closely trim it?

[FaustsFaun]

I personally don't have a problem with armpit hair. The only hair I don't like on a guy is chest hair.

[guyuser2]

oh okay.. you hate chest hairs.. ok

[FaustsFaun]

Yeah that's about it.

[Anonymous]

It is up to you what you shave. I shave my underarms and even shaved my legs for awhile just because I think the hair is gross and it prevents out stains. It's your body so do what you want.

[Nik1hil]

i shave mine, really don't like those extra stench grounds, in case i put my arms on someone else's shoulders

[HANAZAWA]

It is his choice although I would prefer him not to.

[VegetaSSB]

No, i am very pro natural , whatever is your natural is your best.

[DamnSam]

Trim it, because the surface of the hair is needed for sweating, if you shave them, the sweat will run down your skin which feels really gross

[spartan55]

Use clippers and trim that birds nest down. Helps reduce the stank.

[pingiluv]

I don’t think it would help them much because men sweat more than women.

[guyuser2]

Since men sweat more then shaving it obviously help. No?

[jsdfreedom]

I do. My armpits sweat profusely if I have pit hair.
Plus it kinda feels nice and looks better.

[Nemesis78]

I do that only because I hate hair and it makes sweat worse.

[cherryphi82]

I don't really care... no wait... I prefer pit hair a slight bit

[missbdsm]

No , I don't like it shaved, I go unshaved

[Ayer93]

I shave mine because when it gets hairy it feels nasty when I sweat and keeps the sweaty smell longer.

[Anonymous]

I rlly rlly wish they did it's so gross. Like that's why girls do it so why don't guys?

[guyuser2]

Excatly...

[jeremythedrummer]
