lol I don't mind it - but my boyfriend trims it, so it doesn't look shaved (and hence gay). Seems a bit like you Axon :tongue:

I have quite hairy legs my socks irritate the hair sometimes and its abit sensitive to being pulled. Otherwise i dont mind it lol.
hairy legs on a guy are hotter than shaved legs imo even if quite very hairy i find au naturel very hot on guys :biggrin:

It's natural and if a woman wants shaved legs on a guy, she's probably gay.

They might be swimmers.
I can't see why the hell you should shave your legs for swimming.

i think it's something about there being less friction..not entirely sure though..
That's bollox though. I doubt it would make 1/1000th of a second difference, which unless you are competing in the olympics is hardly going to matter. Besides then you'd go for the full body shark skin suits anyway.
Done some research and it is definitely inconclusive.

it depends what type of suit the swimmer is comfortable with..

In a sport where races are decided by hundredths of a second, every advantage is important. For major meets, most swimmers shave the body hair off of their arms, legs, and any other surface area that is in contact with the water. This reduces resistance and can lower a swimmer’s time by as much as 1 or 2 percent—a significant difference.

Swimmers are also known to shave their body and legs to reduce drag from body hair.
