hairy back?

ok im getting a hairy back girls i just wanted to know does a hairy back put u off a guy? aslo i have spots on my back and i dont know what to do about them i shower twice a day but im sporty and so go to the gym every other day, is it sweating that is causing the spots? do they go once the hair is fully grown through? also how many other guys out there have hairy backs??
Twice a day is really not necessary! Spots on your back are like spots on your face. Some people get them when they're quite young, some don't. Some get them early, some late. Some have them for years, some for a few months. Keep clean and you'll be fine. As for hair on your back I can only assume it's normal and a hairy back wouldn't put me off a guy if my opinion counts for anything. And I'm fairly fussy. :smile:

You could use cleansing wipes to get rid of the sweat whilst you're working in the gym, maybe that would prevent more spots growing. I dunno about hairy backs, erm I've hardly seen men with hairy backs...maybe many men get theirs waxed...ouch.

I'd be more put off by a man who got his back waxed than one who had a hairy back. Vanity really turns me off, and men waxing any part of their body comes across as vain to me. Men are supposed to be hairy, damn it!

We do seem to be stalking each other don't we? And I repped you earlier too.

Aaaw, norelle/Ywiss love-in!
no - if its super hairy cmon now - u wud not want that girls! however a bit of hair is fine - but its all just personal preference really - but mst importantly its personal preference 4 urself - if u dnt feel comfortable with it then wax or whatever, if it doesn bother u then who cares if it bothers ne1 else - if it does theyre nto worth it rite?!
p.s. im a girl with a hairy back and spots. ok that makes me sound beastly, but i had a little bit of fuzz/fluff woteva and i personally hate hair - esp on girls coz i dnt see it as feminine (just my opinion) solution : wax/shave and spot cream = sorted. :smile:
you can get shower gell type stuff in most supermarkets in the skincare section that is ment for body spots. its ment to work wonders

oh don't be silly, some men can get *really* hairy backs, when most people they see are entirely smooth you can't blame them for wanting to do something about it. waxing is an easy, uninvasive cosmetic intervention.

are you also going to say that people born with correctable deformities shouldn't be so vain?

Since when has hair been a deformity? It's natural. And as for waxing being an "easy, uninvasive cosmetic intervention", try saying that when you rub the waxed back of your boyfriend and get a friction burn from the prickly hairs.

But it's also rather out of line with modern images of men, and a lot of like having a third nipple or similar it's not a problem or particularly uncommon but it's not unreasonable to want it gone.

Okay, fair enough, I'll take your word for it on that one.

I have to disagree with you here. Are you male or female? I think it's very unreasonable to want it gone if it's not yours. Fair enough for your own hair, but don't dictate what your partner/boyfriend should do with his. Men are supposed to have hair - shaved legs on a man would look unnatural, and why should it be any different for arms, chest and back?
Don't wax it! A hairy back is nothing to be ashamed of! I have a hairy back and theres nothing wrong with it. All this focus on male body image is stupid. Who cares if you have hair on your back? Its a sign of masculinity. Its what made men different from women, only now most men don't have hair on their backs through evolution. Maybe we're just a lesser evolved form of man :frown:
But once the ice age comes along and theres no more clothes, then where will those hairless men be????

To be perfectly honest: hairy backs creep me out and it Never looks good on Anyone. I'd tell you to wax it if you were my bf. That goes for excessive upper arm hair as well.

I like all other kinds of body hair on guys apart from a beard/moustache. Chest hair is good, I don't mind hairy bellies either and men that shave their legs/armpit hair are weird imo.

Leave it or wax it if it's way too much.

Its just in todays society men are faced with images of famous men who are smooth, toned, with sharp features.... and this is shown as what it is to be 'beautiful'... so obviously hairy backs are a no no............. but i suppose some girls dont mind it or like it... and some hate it!
