Hairy Legs.

I’m no longer accustomed to seeing hairy legs on men. I’m sure you’ve noticed that over the past couple decades men have gone on a de-hairing binge. Men no longer have body hair.

Once upon a time body hair was considered manly. Every boy waited impatiently for his chest hair to grow and fill in. You know, the Tom Selleck look-

Now men are into manscaping.

No body hair.

Why? Well, I suppose if a man removes his body hair his muscles are more apparent, as in more visual and well-defined. Like you get that six-pack appearance. Body builders have been removing body hair for generations. As have competitive swimmers.

Arnold- the first body builder I ever noticed.

Damn leg hair could cost you a world record… You know?

My husband naturally doesn’t have a whole lot of leg hair. I think it’s because he runs a lot and the running tights rub off the hair. Regardless I’m not used to see a man with tons of leg hair so when I saw a guy on a bike with loads of leg hair I did like a quadruple take.

Damn! Wish I would have thought to snap a surreptitious picture. But my brain froze.

Body hair on men? Yay or nay? You thoughts, opinions, preferences?

    Makes no difference to me. Intelligence turns me on - hair or no hair.

  4. I wrote about this a couple of years ago. I called those slick shaved studs, man-hams. LOL.

    I’ve never liked shaved men-which is different from men who naturally don’t have a lot of hair or very short hair on their chests.

    Penelope - Yes. I have a question. Should women shave off their hair?

    I figure whatever you have is what God gave you… :D

  7. How true, Anny! However, being human, we do like to tweak whatever god gave us!

  8. Funny, Maria! I’m partial to a natural man. I suppose if a man had loads of hair coming out of his ears I might suggest he trim that…

  9. Roberta- intelligence and a sense of humor!

  10. Yes, Penny, I wrote it for you! I don’t think shaving off your hair is sexy. But I like a man for what’s inside, not what’s outside. Pretty packages are fun to look at though!

  11. Chest hair is a must! I love it.
