Should men shave their body?


Does shaving body hair make you less masculine?

Personally am horrified by body hair tbh.

If they want to, absolutely.

Yes, but is it socially acceptable? I know females like it, but do men still look down upon this sort of thing?

What people do with their body hair should be entirely up to them, so I wouldn't say whether men should or shouldn't shave it. It's sad that most people like to dictate what other people should do with their bodies just because of gender.

Personal hygiene may emasculate you but at least you will smell good.
Isn't 'should women shave their body?' an equally valid question?

Aye, but this thread is specifically about men.

Women should always shave their body there's no question. :rolleyes:

Some guys really suit the bear look, however a skinny, effeminate looking guy with a ton of hair looks freaky tbh. I guess in my opinion when it comes to men, it's relative to your physique/shape.

I find that I just keep myself clean and comfy. If say the armpit is getting a bit long or sweaty then i'll give it a trim; i'm not the type / age for a hairy chest so i'm not bothered by that; the rest is just kept clean - i'm not bothered on the whole issue of being emasculated when it comes to what I think is good
I say stick with what you feel comfortable with.

Men should do whatever the hell they want with their body hair.

oh yeah so I'd say no. each unto their own.
It should just come down to personal preference.
