Men and shaving and waxing?

A average hairy man doesn't need to and isn't expected to shave or wax his body hair at all ESP not his legs and arms , but in case of a man having legs as below, shaving/waxing is good idea? Also if yeah, is Stubble/ingrowns bound to happen?

  • Just showed this to my girlfriend, she thinks it looks sexy, but made the point that a lot depends on how good looking you are otherwise. If you look like Tom Cruise, the hair is sexy. If you look like your face was run through a shredder, the hair won't make it better.

    She also added that you need to understand that most gals don't care one way or the other. For her, this is a preference. If I had decided that I liked the shaved look, she would have lived with it. However, to her, shaved looks childish and seems vain.

    So there you have it - straight, well okay, via my asking, from my gfd's mouth.

    Seriously though, guy, you should not worry about this. Trust me, any gal that is judging you on your body hair is a gal that you do not want to be with. I say that and my girlfriend said it, too.

    • That's so sweet of you to show it to your GF!! Well overall it isn't a turn off fo

    • Okay guy, I just asked her, but a few things: 1) She works from home and is right now trying to get our daughter ready for pre-school, so she can't do this all day. (I am only home today because I am recovering from minor surgery.) So if you want to send more pics, that's up to you, but we may not be able to get back with you right away. So, I showed her the photos. She said that she loves - her word - the hairy chest. She said she wants you to understand that - again - much depends on how you look overall. An ugly guy with a hairy chest is ugly, chest hair or no. However, she loved it and even said she wished you were not wearing a shirt at all. You can't get a better endorsement then that. As to your legs, she said she is not a leg person, but she found it sexy, though she is not big into naked guys (or guys in their underwear) wearing only dark socks. I jokingly added that I will mention to you that she is a bit of a fashion critic at heart. So there you have it. Certified sexy.

    Are you getting negative comments about your hairiness? Are you unhappy about your appearance?
    Go with what will make you feel most comfortable and happy about you. Don't change yourself or worry about what other think.

  • My guy isn't hairy but he shaves under his arms, chest and down there.. He said it bothers him when he sweats and he doesn't like the choockey feeling. He said when he sweats, it gets trapped and his perspiration smells quickly. So he just avoids any embarrassing encounter and shaves it. I don't mind at all as long as it's not his hands and feet. I don't see any big deal with the socks as well... it's fine to me. Do you, and be comfortable who you are, those who mind won't matter and those who matter won't mind😉

  • Don't worry about it too much. Wear your hair with confidence and you will be fine. There might be some girls who prefer less hair. I don't think you should overobsess on getting rid of the hair. Seeing the amount of hair you have it will take you way too much time to get rid of it. Time you can better spend on personal growth, or your (future) girlfriend.

    • If hair removal makes me better for women I don't mind... What's your personal opinion? What do you prefer? Also how about hairy chest and stomach?

    • I do not mind it at all. Generally speaking I prefer guys with too much hair above guys with too little. It looks more manly to me. It wouldn't be a problem at all though.

    • You even prefer too much hair on the chest and stomach?

  • It's entirely up to you. If you're thinking about it maybe try shaving (I wouldn't recommend waxing due to the pain) or using a hair removal cream like Nair if you want to avoid in grown hairs. Then of you don't like it just let it grow back. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

    • You would rather have a hairless man than too much hairy?

    • Hairless but honestly that's just more of a cultural thing. I'm Jamaican, my whole family is, and we just don't grow as much body hair so I tend to gravitate towards what I'm use to.

  • Embrace yourself the way you are. If you are not comfortable having the amount of body hair you have then you may shave/wax them. If your body hair doesn't bother you, then dont. Why would you want to someone else to tell you what to do with your body?

    • Because I am insecure about it especially when I compared my legs with a woman's hairless legs

    • Are you a woman?

    • No. I am a man and LOVE women... Why asking this?

  • Shave that shit!

    • You wearing bra and panty?

    • Use some deductive reasoning dumbass. Look at my name, then the picture. Ok now wait... I think I hear your brain starting to work... sounds rusty. Try some water displacement 40th try. Fyi: I got more balls under my skirt than most men. U don't have the balls to be a queer.

    • You get women or men?

  • Yeah, I don't think most people care if a man has hairy legs. As long as he trims his crotch, unibrow, and pits shorter and keeps back hair to a minimum I'm good. There would definitely be an ingrown hair issue with that much hair removal.

    • He would just closely trim his legs and thigh and chest... if it's more appealing to you... Tell?

  • If you're really insecure about the hair on your legs what you can do is use
    hydrogen peroxide so your hair will be less dark and therefore be less noticeable without having to go through all the shaving process.

    • Personally would you like Al bare shaved or maybe waxed male legs and thighs over this?

    • I'm just saying it's up to you to do as you'll feel more comfortable

    • Would you like the look and feel of a man's waxed smooth legs and thighs or this hairy?

  • Personally, I prefer it when men have very little body hair and so when guys have a significant amount I feel they should at least groom it? Shaving or waxing would probably be ideal, but with very long leg hair you should try it before you shave it. If you don't want to have until hair, shave with the hair, not against it. In this case that usually means down, not up. You won't likely have the "pretty, diet smooth legs" but you will look much neater.

  • No hair. You might inherit a whole new, family and then some.

    • You won't even date or marry a very hairy man who shaves everywhere, because of his hairy genes?

    • Hell. Hair is a hygenieg problem. Plus bacteria lives in small places. Plus old people have this problem. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'm not looking for an elderly. Plus I'm already talking to someone. And "SMOOTH CRIMINAL" #CLEANCUTPRETTYBOY

  • I wouldn't want a guy to remove his leg/arm hair.

    • Not even in this extrme case of hairy legs thighs arms?

    • No, I'd still prefer the hair. Removing it seems very feminine to me and I don't really find that attractive.

    • How about equally or maybe LOT more hair on the chest and stomach?

  • I don't think shaving or waxing is a great idea personally, maybe trimming with clippers so it's not completely smooth if it's too hot, if their comfortable than I don't think they need to do anything at all

    • OK. Maybe shaving once in a while as once a month would solve this issue

  • There's nothing wrong with your legs, it's masculine having hairy legs

    • It's very hairy for an average man... and it would look lot more worse compared next to a woman's legs.. That's the issue

    • Yeah but realistically, are you both going to be looking down at your legs? It is what it is, I personally would be put off if a guy shaved, would make him seem too feminine

    • I don't know about her but yeah when we are both intmate obviously my legs would be next to her and might even touch her hairless legs... And yeah they would be next to her legs... and same is about my arms... If I touch her my hairy arms would be next to her hairless skin...

  • I don't think waxed legs would look better. This seems fine

    • And please don't wear socks with flip flops ! For your own good

    • What's wrong in flip flops and socks?

    • It is just very unappealing ha! It would ruin the look of any outfit. Doesn't make any sense too, flip flops is a footwear for hot weather, and if the weather is not that hot choose proper shoes, and not socks. Whatever the guy is wearing flip flops/ sandals and socks together would make any girl think a guy has no clue

  • I read somewhere that around 40% of guys wax. I used to like a very attractive guy but I was always unhappy with his legs - they were so hairy!

    • How do you know that other girls around you your age like hairy men?

    • Would you prefer shaved smooth everywhere?

  • Men are meant to be hairy. Don’t be ashamed. Hairy chests are sexy!

    • OMG! Cool But if it's thick dense shag rug covered full chest and stomach, very hairy arms and these legs?

    • My boyfriend has very hairy arms, legs and chest. It’s not even second thought. I don’t care - it’s not a huge deal, like he doesn’t care if I don’t shave for a bit.

    • Women rarely have coarse leg hair anyway... so if you don't shave it won't even be visible. by the way you like shaved private part on men? Isn't it? If he also has hairy shoulder, upper arms and very very hairy while abdomen?😑🙄

  • Legs don’t matter, you’re fine!

    • Ok. But preferably it should be shaves in case it's overly hairy as shown above?

  • My last boyfriend was very hairy! On his legs, butt and full torso. It never bothered me at all. You are fine. If it's something you don't like then change it for yourself, don't do it just to please someone else. I wouldn't recommend shaving though! Waxing or laser if it's what you want to do.

    • Even butt!😏 Was is shocking to you and little icky, initially? Be honest Also did he shave anything, or maybe waxed because you asked him to? Insecure?

    • No it never was. He trimmed down there but never waxed. I wouldn't have wanted him to. No need. I'm not a fan of completely hairless guys anyway. Everyone has their own preferences though.

    • You could see his upper chest hair fro the top of shirt button? Did he wear shorts around women as well?

  • this is normal, it doesn't bother me. I will only ask to shave face

    • How about very hairy chest and stomach?

    • dont care, completely bare chest would be strange and childlike. I want a man not a boy

    • But in case it lot of hairs all over the abdomen and chest? Thick hairss..

  • I personally wouldn't want my man to shave/wax his legs. It would be a lot of maintenance and extremely uncomfortable, I imagine, when it grows back. It he wanted to though I would support him. After all it is his body ☺

    • You would prefer Shave chest and stomach, then why not expect Shaved legs thighs and arms if Too hairy?

    • I dont prefer shaved chest or stomach. My husband is extremely furry. He just trims, sometimes shaves his genital region so it is more comfortable for me to preform oral.

    • He uses electric trimmer on the chest and stomach without any guard? Does it gets stubbly prickly?

  • I like hairy men like that, I actually think it's weird if they do shave/wax

  • Nothing wrong with a man and hairy legs. If you feel it's a big issue, take a pair of clippers en cut it shorter and will make it less noticeable but there will still be hair and it will not give you a smooth skin with ingrown hairs.

  • That's pretty hairy. It would however depend on what their partner wanted, and whether they viewed it as being worthwhile. Taking all that off is going to be extraordinarily painful the first time.
