Are my male legs too hairy? (spoilered pics)

I'm going to a beach soon and I'm concerned that my legs are really hairy. My back and chest aren't very hairy at all, but my legs really are. Don't worry, it's not like FUR, but it's still quite bad I think. Click the spoiler below to open

What do you think? Would you be freaked out if you saw this?

What are my options anyway? Shaving them would be a bad idea. Waxing I don't want to do because I don't want to be completely hairless. I've tried hair removal creams and they remove all the hair in that spot as well, so again it'd leave me hairless. Is there no way to sort of thin it out or something?

(Mods: it may seem like it, but this isn't a troll attempt - I am genuinely very concerned and sensitive about this issue).

That a reasonable amount of hair in my books. Leave the bald legs to the lasses mate.
They look like typical man-legs.

They're not bad, but I can't say about your female legs without pics of those.

What I wanna know is, why on Earth are you taking pictures of your legs and uploading them to the internet? At what point did you think it was normal behavior?

average i would say, i think your darker skin tone like around the knee caps just makes it look a bit like a bit more hair. But it looks fairly normal to me....

Looks fine, if your worried use scissors
I honestly do not see a problem with it.

Your a man! You are meant to have hair - like someone suggested earlier on you can wax them if you wanted.

I would feel awful if you were a female though you would have to go through so much crap. Leave them how they are!
If you don't like it, you can trim it.
The new Wilkinsons sword bikini (it is for women, but i'm sure you can get similar for men) has a razor one end, and a bikini-line trimmer the other, which just trims the hair, doesn't remove it. You could try that?

Although personally I think your legs look fine :smile:
