Is it insecurity or just .......

CCalhoun Posts: 3 Joined: 2003/09/07	2003/09/07, 05:28 PM Is it insecurity or just wanting to look good for the ladies? Every magazine I see shows men with no chest hair. Logic and marketing would have you believe (from the numbers)that more women are attracted to men with no hair on their chest. I think that no hair on my chest makes me look a lot more cut and muscular. I see that women are more attracted to me when shaved. I have had women tell me that that it is insecure of me to shave my chest. Is it?? I know you should be proud of what the man above has given you but does this count. I know women shave certain parts of their bodies to attract men. I think it looks great. I don't think they are insecure for it............... Your thoughts????

One thing to think of, yes the man upstairs gave you X amount of things, but you worked hard for your body. Lots of heavy chest hair would definitely hide a great amount of chest work you should be proud of. To me, it is not insecure at all. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron

LOL), and every woman that I've ever known has always said how they love to run their hands through it; I've mentioned it a few times to a few of them that I was thinking of shaving, just to get their opinions, and they all threaten me with bodily injury! When I asked them why, they said that, and this is contrary to the media hype, they like their men to look like men, and by shaving what your testosterone-saturated body gave you was, how do I say it, less than masculine. As my one friend said, "If a man has hair on his chest, and he shaves it (not being in a comp), it's the equivalent of a woman shaving her head. She can do it, but it just doesn't look right." Now, I'm the last one that would want to make any woman angry... -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead! Chaos, Panic, Disorder.... Yes, my work here is done!

I can't imagine anyone opting to shave anything that they didn't have to. I can see that it lets your muscles show better, but I like my man hairy. Like rev said, I enjoy running my hands through it. And because I find it very masculine, it makes me feel more feminine. (I will confess I have called my hubby a gorilla also.) -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

rebekah82 Posts: 29 Joined: 2003/09/25	2003/09/29, 01:02 PM From a women's perspective, I agree with redhead. I find myself looking more when there is hair there. A shaved chest isn't near as sexy.

Ogun Posts: 559 Joined: 2002/08/11	2003/11/27, 10:21 AM Go amazon! Listen, I have "patches" that are uneven...like 100 hairs total, so I'm thinking about shaving it regularly. For the ladies; does this sound ok? If not, why not? And what about underarm hair? (I look like I have Bucwheat in a headlock haha) And what about "other" hair (ahem).? -------------- --There are no versions of the truth.-- Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park II

agamble Posts: 1,029 Joined: 2003/09/22	2003/11/28, 10:25 AM Just one question-When the hair grows back on your chest, does it itch real bad? Whenever I grow a beard it itches like crazy for awhile. I couldn't imagine dealing with that anywhere else.

If the guy has hair on his back shaving is a must. Reminds me of an old boyfriend I had who was very hairy...I convinced him to shave his chest...boy, did we regret it, he ended up looking like a plucked chicken, lol!
