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.

[nightdrot]

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...

[Flerrin]

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.

[mrs-turner97]

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

[es20490446e]

[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]

well i do shave em.

[MustangGT350]

Let it rott bigger and bigger like dark streams of undeath power. Eaven the death won't get closer to do its job!

[ooAngieoo]

lmao what? xD

[mumzyjade]

If a man want to shave then so be it as long as hygiene is kept it doesn't matter

[totallynotbadadvice]

I shave mine. Its a personal preference. Guy friends knock it, females dont seem to care either way

[RedThread]

I mean sure it would decrease wind resistance but it would be itchy af.

[Kuraj]

I shave my underarms, everyone should shave their underarms, really.

[JLl2urik]

i do. it helps SO MUCH with the BO. but, i also only take cold showers and dont use soap, nor deodorant

[Anonymous]

The only time a man should shave his armpits are if his hairs are stained with a funky smell.

[xperimania]

I can't believe that no has 36% votes. Basic hygiene guys!

[CowboyAceTre]

I used to trim my armpits in prison to conserve on deod.

[Riyadh3]

definitely , yeah
if you dont , your smell will be disgusting

[Lucyyxx]

Eh, I prefer shaved armpits but it's up to the guy to chose what he does.

[Ronja00]

No.. hair is manly. Unless it's extremely much ofc

[LanayLuckie]

No, not at all. Grow it out!

[guyuser2]

😱🤔😐
Why?

[LanayLuckie]

I like the way it looks on men. I had a young lady in my group class who doesn't shave, it was a little sexy on her too.

[guyuser2]

Hahaha... her pit hair was very less hairy? Hence sexy...
But if men never shave it trim it's a jungle on men..
:o

[IrishKindaGuy]

It's just a manly thing to have them there. I agree in some areas but not armpits.

[dariendark]

Maybe if he is a competitive swimmer and needs to reduce drag

[Malita55]

No way! I love armpit hair

[guyuser2]

Underam hairs trap sweat and then stink.
Shaving it is beter for cleanliness. Also underarm hair doesn't add to beauty / manliness anyway!
whats to love in it? :/

[Malita55]

Underarm hair is masculine in my opinion and would prefer for my boyfriend to have it, but it’s not a necessity if he’s worried about cleanliness

[guyuser2]

:) okay...
this , is hot? :o

[Malita55]

Yeah I find that appealing but clean shaven is fine too

[Anonymous]

I trim it otherwise it smells like coffee and onions all the time

[VooDooBooDoo]

Only if you're going to shave your Vagina after

[Asker]

My vulva. Get it right. 😂

[BasicGirl]

Yes, duh. Cleanliness is key

[Glipglops]

No. Hairy guys are hot.

[Astoriana]

If you want. It makes it a lot itchier.

[weclock]

Have you ever trimmed it though? It feels amazing.

[beebella]

If they want to.

[Kai02]

Same as girls.
Only if you wanna

[Gedaria]

I should say I do less smelly !!!

[dannyuk]

Gay guys do, straight guys don't

[iloveallwhamen]

gay guys suck di*k straight guys dont

[dannyuk]

Yeah that too

[dannyuk]

This is just an age thing I see most of this modern men grooming as very effeminate because for the first 35 years of my life everyone considered it effeminate. It's only really been the last couple of years that you have seen some guys start to do this. Nothing really wrong with it, but I do tease my younger friends about it

[Naydyonov]

Yes for sure. Men should keep it pretty short.

[Dxk007]

I trim them and, it feels lot more comfortable

[Freakles87]

Trim yes, shave no.

[TallGuy96]

They bother me so i shave them no biggie

[rahul_24]

I wouldn't unless she wants it too

[Anonymous]

Would you want women to stop shaving theirs?

[Asker]

No. I feel like it should be a choice whatever your gender. Just curious to hear people's thoughts.

[Sabretooth]

it definitely feels better

[pinksock1]

No. No. No

[guyuser2]

Underam hairs trap sweat and then stink.
Shaving it is beter for cleanliness. Also underarm hair doesn't add to beauty / manliness anyway!
still so much no no?

[pinksock1]

What... lol You realize women are attracted to pheromones. The man musk smell is hot.. and yeah only pretty boys shave. Ill take a burly hairy beast boi.

[guyuser2]

Even women have pheromones...
Are men attracted to bare skin with smell of fake scents? lol

[guyuser2]

how about hairy beast chest as well? :o

[Sebdcjones]

Good stuff pnksock1!

[pinksock1]

I dunno are they? I like any hairballs lol long as ur junk is trimmed idc. Its manly

[guyuser2]

Hairs almost all over the chest and stomach, legs and thighs... arms... armpit... and neck!!! All manly and better than shaven?

[pinksock1]

Yes, unless you are in sports or something. I dont want shaven

[zaza111]

No, they shouldn't!

[ghostqueen]

Nope

[ownerIntelliRamInc]

Yeah why not it’s liberating

[CarpetDenim]

Only if they want to

[bsthngevr]

It makes them smell better

[LittlePrince85]

If he wants.
