What do you think about men who shave their armpits?

Question

i go to gym. some men don't have armpits hair. so I shave too. what do you think?

aMuse · Accepted Answer

You shave to, because some other men at the gym don't have armpit hair? I think that's sort of tag along behavior... I really don't understand why men would shave their pits. Seems kind of unnecessary, and feminine to me. Women save body hair and try to be smooth and soft. Men are usually a little rough around the edges and hard. That's why you're going to the gym right? To get big and strong, hard and chiseled, not to get an avocado facial and your nails done... =S

I started trimming mine when I was, idk, mid-late 20's. Someone told me it radically cut down on smell. They were correct. Magically, 24 hour deodorant actually works for 24 hours.

The hair is probably there specifically to absorb and slowly release odor so we can recognize each others' scent as we wander the savannah.

That you're in between being metrosexual and being homosexual lol.. why not just trim your armpits? And don't shave down there either.. Trim it/ groom it.. But stubbles a ren't cute on a guy it doesn't make your junk look bigger.. It looks like your sleazy like dudes in p*rno's..

I don't like the fact that you shaved because others do, I don't like followers.

I am okay with a guy without armpit hair if that is what he feels comfortable with.

I prefer men with armpit hair because it feels more manly.

TheThirdSeason · Answer

Gay? Odd? I think it is a good thing to do.

It means cleaning not acting like a woman, everyone shave !

I mean hair armpit brings bad smell, bad smell is disgusting, I find it disgusting in my own self then how about in a man?

Look if you have hairy arms, that is fine, hairy legs that's fine but hairy armpits? You will Smell bad.

Girlie8780 · Answer

Yay ^_^ I think hairy armpits are kinda gross lol especially if it's sweaty ugh

Anonymous · Answer

I think it would be a great thing, since I don't really care for hair, A trim would also be good but I'd actually prefer there to be no or little hair with armpits... I'd only see it as gay if you started shaving your legs not with your armpits. Though I know most guys don't shave so I'm not saying it would repulse me if they didn't shave/trim just that I'd prefer if they did.

sunwolf94 · Answer

I really don't care. Shaving to me is inconsequential. If a guy shaved his armpits, I'd think it a little odd, because I have not encountered a guy who does, but I don't think it would cross my mind for but a moment. Hairless is fine, and so is hairy, though hairy armpits seem manly to me! (Which I like..)

But again, it depends on the girl.

Stacyzee · Answer

I rather a guy with shaved armpits...than a guy who looks like he is growing a forest under his arms.

I like a guy with shaved/trimmed armpits.

If the guy has hair under it (and it isn't wild) then that's fine too.

PoeticNinja · Answer

You shave because other men don't have arm pit hair... I think you're more of a follower.

Anyway, I like my man to have armpit hair. He has no need to shave them.

If you want less hair, trim the f***ers.

c1ov3r · Answer

If your armpits are smoother than my legs, we have a problem (unless you're water sport athlete). I like my men with hair. Keep the hair neat and clean though, I don't want the Amazon poking out from under.

Cuddle_Muffin · Answer

Lol its really weird because I like them hairy everywhere else but the armpits. Hairy armpits are just yuck imo. But I can tolerate. I prefer the beards and staches to be hairy lol.

AnnieVincereVelMori · Answer

My boyfriend shaves but leaves a "soul-patch" right in the middle and keeps it short. He told me it's a European thing. I have no opinion either way, just as long as it's not a jungle under there :P To each their own.

Becky89 · Answer

I think its great, lol. To be honest I'm not sure if I can deal with hairy pits lol! Especially when sweaty lol!

BERRYawesome · Answer

I would think I'm looking at a 12 year old boy who's balls haven't dropped yet.

Anonymous · Answer

trimmed is as far as a guy should go. shaved is too far...gay guys don't even do it.

only way its acceptable is if he is a model and has to...even swimmers just trim it.

at the same time its kinda gross if its a jungle

keep it trimmed

EvilAngel114 · Answer

I think it's a bit odd, but to each his own. The hair on a man to me is more masculine and I don't mind it.

eaeaea · Answer

Idk.. trimming would be better for my taste... Otherwise it's a little too feminine...  Body hair on a guy is attractive for me.. but not excessively!

jpinka · Answer

shave away! lol we love it. but armpit hair on a guy is something idc about typically, but if their swimmers or something I dnt wana c 5 inches of hair sticking out every time they lift their arms

rudy37lee · Answer

It's sort of a feminine act so unless it was for a specific sport, like swimming, I'd think it a bit odd.  I like masculinity, men have hair, it's part of being a man, I'm OK with that.

MalloryJay · Answer

I have always thought that was weird. I don't want a guy who's girlie and cares about shaving themselves like girls do.

samhradh_leannan · Answer

Personally, I prefer it when guys keep their body hair. However, it's your personal choice what to do with your own body.

Anonymous · Answer

The question about men shaving their armpits. It's okay I guess if the guy just prefers it that way why not. I mean it's not like armpit hair is the most sexy thing!

As long as the guy doesn't overall look like a homosexual guy then it's okay.

kittyhoney · Answer

Did you shave yours because some man don't have them?

duvexy · Answer

Trimming is good.  What do I think about men who shave their armpits.  It does not bother me if they have hair or not.  That is their hair.

KellyC · Answer

I actually like armpit hair on a man but if he is happy with shaving it then I don't have a problem, I'd like it either way.

BubbleBee22 · Answer

eekkk nooo ..keep the hair there! its manly to have hairy armpits..or else ill be thinking your trying to compete with me! ha ha grow it back! :)

Anonymous · Answer

It's his body and his preference... I personally prefer men have hair in all the right places; face, chest, armpits, legs, pubic hair. But of course, I wouldn't turn down a good guy JUST because he did shave everything, haha!

TheoryOfAvarice · Answer

Kinda weird to me, not really a turn-on, nor turn-off. But I prefer men with body hair. But, they can do what they want! It's their body.

madmisskelly · Answer

It wouldn't be a deal breaker, but it would be odd.

justme20 · Answer

please do it! nothing is more gross and a turn off than seeing hairy pits on a guy

Alexias · Answer

When men shave their armpits I usually assume they're swimmers.

usernamehere · Answer

...that he participates in some type of racing sport in which he must shave his armpits to be more aerodynamic...isn't that what everyone else thinks? o.O

indian_empress_91 · Answer

I don't mind it..I prefer it over a really hairy armpit any day lol...trimmed is good too

vishna · Answer

I don't care either way. Do what you like, it's your hair. :)

smokahontas · Answer

Don't really care, but having a little hair would be nice :)

crookthings · Answer

I don't care what anybody does with their body hair. Seriously.

RedSmartie · Answer

Is it weird that I don't care one way or the other?  because I don't,  really.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

If they're a competitive swimmer, then I see no issue with it.

Anonymous · Answer

I have never seen a guy that doesn't have armpit hair so I don't know how I would feel but I think I would be okay with it.

Anonymous · Answer

It's nice not to have smelly hairs near my face if I'm trying to cuddle with my face on his chest...

Anonymous · Answer

More hygienic. The hair is what cause most of the stink when you sweat.

Anonymous · Answer

I think they should have been born a woman. If your going to act like one then might as well be 1.

Anonymous · Answer

What has this world come to? I freaking love hairy guys, don't shave don't pluck your eyebrows...

Anonymous · Answer

I think it's kind of weird to totally shave it. A trim is good but totally shaved off might seem odd to me, but not sure.

Mystic2 · Answer

Most guys at the gyms share their armpit hair. I don't see anything wrong with it.  I think its kind of sexy.  What woman really wants to smell their guys underarms with hair there, trust me more hygenic if they shave.  :)

naima17 · Answer

Mixed opinions. It looks masculine and all, but don't come near me with all that pubic hair..looks like a jungle.

Anonymous · Answer

i don't think it's necessary, but I wouldn't be like grossed out by it or anything
