Not that I use them but there are lots out there...Nair alone has many products that you can get for men...besides it's not like you can't use the women's one...i don't see a big difference unless youre too chicken to go to the counter with a female grooming product

thank god i dont have any hair on my chest. i can barely even grow a mustache, and ive only shaved like 5 times in my life.

Talking

All the power to you, if you have your other money priorities already sorted and this is just some thing to pay for the hell of it, go for it

Laser treatment just wanting to show off your muscles at the beach is really expensive. I wouldn't shave my chest all year long, just during the summer months. Are you into swimming? I hear swimmers shave their whole bodies, just to increase the speed on their swim. That's a good reason to shave, but the ladies definitely like a bare chest and this might outweighs the cost issue for you.


I've read in a men's magazine that some guys just go get their body hair trimmed with an electric razor. Also what is quite popular for young men these days is going to a salon to get their pubic hair trimmed. It makes them look "bigger".


Why is body hair such an issue today? Is it because it's a sign of aging or because people associate it with evolution and that body hair is too animal like?

That's actually not really true...not all women do. Well I don't know about TOTA women but I know quite a few tha really dislike the hairless body type. Specifically girls that mature beyond the age of 12 lol.

I guess a lot of them say that it's more manly and it has to do with the raw sexual animal instinct.

Besides...look at Tom Ford - Gucci designer for those who don't know - who is always well groomed with his shirt half opened and never shaved - women drool over him - but he's gay of course.

Anyway...from my personal "research" i've never had any problems with women and my chest hair lol.

But then again I never go for the stuck up immature little princesses anyway...

Like i said before it's a big issue in north america and everywhere else around the world nobody cares.

That's true they remove all hair to streamline their body so it glides better in the water - hence the swimming caps - and some even shave their heads as well. In fact many athletes do that to enhance performance or simply for convenience.
Judo fighters and wrestlers often remove hair just cause it's inconvenient and get's pulled a lot and etc...

I just remembered a very interesting article I read in last issue of Wallpaper magazine (Anyone reads it here?) and it talked about the new trend towards male grooming - not hair removal but grooming of the body hair - they actually called it manscaping - as in landscaping . Anyway they mentioned that in the fashion capitals of the world - Milan, Paris, NY, and London there are salons popping up specializing in this particular thing - manscaping. The most common treatment is called BSC (Back, Crack, Sack) Just figured I'll pass this along since it has to do with the thread.

You know, I don't get why its embarassing for a man to buy tampons? Do you think people are gonna honestly wonder if its for you?


Posted by Kris on May-13-2004 01:20:

My supervisor at work is a co owner of one of those places - i'll get a quote for you sometime in the morning, but it will be pretty expensive. He told me each ball is about 1000$

Sounds like a scene from Gummo.

Disko-Kandi -- I couldn't find the full article from Wallpaper online but I will type it up and let you guys see it...meanwhile here's another article on the same isse - Tom Ford related

quote:
FOR 15 years having a hairy chest has given a man all the sex appeal of a gorilla.

Throughout the 90s, if you had a chest rug you weren't seen as a sex god, more as walrus-sized singing god Demis Roussos.

Men with well-endowed chests were forced to hide their shameful growth under a polo-neck jumper or tightly buttoned-up shirt.

A carpet of hair had all the stigma of a third nipple, so tell-tale tufts that sprouted from an unbuttoned collar were rigorously tweezed out of existence.

But now the hairy chest is back.

Tom Ford, head of ultra-chic fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, has used a follically blessed man to advertise his latest fragrance, M7.

The model, like Mr Ford himself, is undeniably gorgeous.

He's handsome, smouldering - and sports a crop of hair on his torso that a farmer would be proud of. He's proof that the "perfect" Calvin Klein models who embodied the 90s are yesterday's men.

After being the height of fashion during the 70s and early 80s, it all went downhill fast for hairy chested men.

First we said good-bye to Tom Selleck's bristling chest and Hawaiian shirts when Magnum PI went off the air in 1988.

Just over a year later Baywatch and its smooth-bodied life guards hit our screens and then the hairless Chippendales began stripping to hoards of screaming women.

Sales of depilatory cream soared. Some chaps even took to swallowing their pride and crossed the threshold of beauty salons in the quest for the perfectly waxed smooth chest.

But the image for the new Millennium is all about being down to earth and natural and accepting things the way they really are.

If anyone knows how to start a trend it's Tom Ford, the creative director of the Gucci Group and possibly the world's most influential man when it comes to fashion.

He has just announced that "natural bush" is more masculine and I think he's absolutely right to put hairy chests on the fashion map again. For me, chest hair signals virility.

After all, if you think about it, what could be sexier than a man with a thick, sensuous down on his front?

You can run your fingers through it, tweak it playfully and snuggle up to it on a cold night.

Hey, if you get bored in bed you can even try and plait it.

But the key is a real woman wants a real, grown-up man, not an immature wimp with a chest like a pre-pubescent boy.

Picture all the men with chest rugs - and those without. How do they compete?

In the 70s and early 80s when I was growing up chest hair was the only fashion accessory for a man.

I fell in love with men like Sean Connery - in his prime the sexiest James Bond, George Best, Starsky and Hutch. They were cool, dangerous and sexy - and they all wore their shagpile chests with pride.

Tom Jones is another. He may not be my type but you can't deny his magnetic appeal to women.

I do draw the line at medallions, though. While 70s chest hair may be fashionable again, a hunk of gold metal nestling in it isn't.

Today there is a new army of hirsute men who send women weak at the knees.

George Clooney, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, Viggo Mortensen, Robbie Williams and Ryan Giggs - to my mind they represent some of the sexiest creatures on the planet. Their animal-like chest hair hints at the beast within. Contrast with bare chested Leonardo di Caprio, yesterday's heart-throb.

And although singer Justin Hawkins may have won Brit awards with The Darkness, his skinny hairless body won't win any prizes for sex appeal.

Orlando Bloom may send the pulses of teenage girls racing but who wants a man who's safe and non-threatening enough to appeal to the under 16s?

And then there's Peter Andre - enough said.

A few years ago I went to see The Chippendales. Their bodies were honed to perfection and their chests, like the rest of their bodies, were as smooth as marble and glistening with oil. But I found them as sexy as a Barbie doll. They were pretend men, who summed up what blokes wrongly think women want. They weren't genuine rug and ready men.

There's something quite devil-may-care about the sort of chap who doesn't give a toss about a few hairs sprouting from around his nipple region.

And leaving a hairy chest au naturel hides a multitude of flaws and flab if a man doesn't like to work out.

By contrast you have to wonder about a chap who is vain enough to become obsessed with maintaining a baby soft chest.

I want a man to lavish his time and money on me, not spend hours and his hard-earned cash at a beauty salon. I don't want a bloke who knows the ins and outs of waxing better than I do.

And who would want to commit to a man whose chest is smoother than her legs? Think of the pressure to keep your stubble at bay.

In my opinion the only downside to having a hairy chest is that it must take an age to apply sun cream and you risk an excruciating DIY depilatory treatment putting on a zip up top.

So, if a charming smooth- chested beast swept me off my feet, would I turn him away? Of course I wouldn't.

Ultimately the sexiest men are those who are comfortable and confident in their own skin, whether it's home to a forest of follicles or not.

In any case, while a real woman may prefer men with chest hair, she's also mature enough to look beyond the surface.

Unlike the 90s men and women who thought only a smooth chest was best.


I'm confident and comfortable in my own skin as i mentioned before


Posted by disko-kandi on May-13-2004 02:51:

i think the REAL problem here is hairy backs!! ugh! LOOOLLL!!


Posted by starsearcher on May-13-2004 02:53:

Okay the hairy back part I will definitely agree on - it is not very attractive
