I asked my ex gf once if I should shave, her reply was that it didn’t matter to her.
Several weeks later while I was shaving my beard, I had one of those sporadic moments where I thought to myself…why not? So I kept shaving. Shaved my head, chest etc, everything. By the time I was done I was more aerodynamic than a fighter jet.
My gf refused to talk to me after that for two weeks.
Just checking: did she not talk to you because you were too slippery, too scratchy, you turned out to have looked better with your netherbeard, or because you left hair all over the bathroom?
I think it was several things, but the reason she gave me was that I looked too young. ( I was in my mid-40’s and only a few years younger than her.)
I suspect that her bi-polar issues played into that though as well. She was a very difficult person to keep happy.
…Eyebrows?
I was tempted to, but I was concerned people would think I’m a chemo patient so I left them alone.
Extremely controversial take, I’m sure: you don’t shave for other people. You shave for yourself.
Yep. You do you first and foremost. Then deal with the haters. I like my arms and legs trimmed down to 1/8". I also like my balls smooth. I can compromise and leave some bush up top if that’s what my partner wants (though now that my wife is dead no one else to comment I guess) but the others are not really up for debate.
I also agree with that other guy that trimming your armpits goes a long way to helping look clean and not being overly sweaty. But a solid no to shaving them smooth. So uncomfortable and problematic when it starts to grow back.
love my men as hairy as possible so i stand with her, not shaved for me too💖
Hi 👋
Oh so the whole bear vs. man debate actually about THAT! Good to know.
Would you rather meet a bear or a twink in the woods?
I have never shaved any part of my body except the head but ngl when dick gets big and it tangles in the bush somehow that pain happens and the only way to solve it is to rotate my dick in public with hands but I can’t do that soo gotta walk nonchalant
The chest hair is also a problem with zip tshirt it always tangles in that spikes
My friends have shaved their chest hair and some even dih should I also do it My parents says no but never tells the reason just no
I am a adult btw
my heart rate monitor doesn’t read properly unless I keep my chest hair short
when dick gets big and it tangles in the bush
what
how
Because of the extreme bendiness of a flaccid penis, and the highly dynamic forces at play in the crotch area during everyday activities like walking, sitting, lying in bed, transitioning between positions, and wearing clothes, people sometimes end up with a pube caught inside their foreskin.
I keep everything groomed but never really shave anything smooth.
I’ve tried it and it feels nice for a second but the itching/scratching as it grows back just isn’t worth it.
But I keep basically my entire body “groomed” to some extent, I just use some electric clippers and a short guards. You want it long enough to not be scratchy or itchy, but short enough to not be a tangled mess.
I’m a hairy adult btw.
I occasionally shave my armpits. Having hair pop out of your shirt sleeves is not a great look, and I find they’re less sweaty when shaved.
Flipside tho, some of us are turned off by guys with shaved pits. Probably not enough to matter to you, but it’s a thing.
I just use my beard trimmer with the body attachment and trim armpit and pubic hairs
Trim the pubes, no need to go completely smooth. If you go completely smooth it is itchy when it grows back, plus you’ll notice it a LOT more when it gets sweaty. I guess it could be the same for chest hair?
Cant hurt to give it a try with some clippers tbh
You could try a compromise of a trim. Be very careful around the wobbly bits.
Finally someone says it
Now this is an interesting shitpost 🍿
It’s a hairpost

I know Lemmy hates centrists but have we considered the trimmed option?
