shave or not shave....

**cheapie** · 12-14-2002, 01:32 PM

should i shave my chest or not? i've been working out and starting to get a little buffer and don't want to hide the results under a slightly hairy chest. i'm not all hairy or anything, i just don't like the patch down the middle of my chest. this stupid or not? i tried looking at menshealth.com and most of the posters struck me as being gay. that's not a problem, i just wanted some normal people's opinion.

Shave it. If you think it looks nasty then do something about it. Personally, I think my chest is too hairy so every so often I trim it down. Not a clean shave but enough to not look like ape. :monkey:

Shave it and see if you like it. If you do, cool.

If not, it will grow back before you know it.

I did when I was in high school and swimming competitively.

Not something I would do now.

*shudder* i don't like guys who shave their legs... there's just something really bothersome to me when a guy has sexier, smoother legs then i do!!

as for the chest hair, i didn't like it originally, but the current guy i'm with has a bit, so i'm learning to like it. i think it's okay if the guy has some chest hair, but if he looks like a bear, it's time to wax!

I heard once you shave your chest it is like no mans land, you have to keep shaving it or it feels funny and stuff.

**Memo** · 12-14-2002, 05:42 PM

Shaving body hair is for women. If you're a hairy guy trimming with scissors is OK but full shaving is for women and homosexuals!

**InfiniteNothing** · 12-14-2002, 06:05 PM

I agree. Hair is manly. A straight shave is girly. Are you some sort of girly man? If you're totally above what people think about you then go for it. Just know that I'll think your a pansey.

I also think not being able to spell is manly

**cheapie** · 12-14-2002, 07:27 PM

i'm suprised by the number of responses so quickly. no, i'm not a girly-man. it's just that it's not real even and i was thinking that if i waxed or shaved it, it might grow back more evenly. prob. kinda dumb.

i think your right about the MH posters.

what you should do is get a beard trimmer with a thinning attachment. run that around a few times and you'll be good. plus, you don't have to do it often. full shave is high maintenance.

**johnnymk** · 12-14-2002, 08:17 PM

Ask Slick Willy. He could give you a tip or two

Ya everyone knows "bear trimers" are really "pube trimmers." I'd go fir this option if you want to trim down.

**mink** · 12-14-2002, 09:07 PM

it gay, just plain gay. when you are 12, you cant wait to get chest hair, when you are 20, you are try to cut it off. when you are 50 you hope it dont grow to your knees.

**Freelance Superhero** · 12-14-2002, 09:14 PM

i agree with blueindian and memo, use trimmers if you can get a hold of some...

if not, try to cut it evenly with scissors (if it's even that long)...

oh, and i'm asian, and i've got my fair share of hair... just shaved off my 5-inch goat earlier this year...

**Burzhui** · 12-15-2002, 08:57 AM

Of course you should shave it off.... if you are a flaming homosexual.

What the hell is wrong with you man, i go to the gym, i'm buffed up, yea so what, i'm also a hairy guy. Who the f*ck cares man. Do it if you are vain, if you are doing it for the chicks it's pathetic man, really is.

**Burzhui** · 12-15-2002, 08:58 AM

Ohh yea and when you are in a club dancing and grinding with some girl and she starts feeling chest stubble through your shirt... you'll wish that you had hair

if i'm doing it for the chicks? who the heck else am i working out for? if it was just for me, i would just sit on the couch, munching doritos and watching tv.

i'm kinda kidding. one reason i've been working out is so that i can do better racing, both running and mtn biking. so it is for me. mostly....

well it depends on how much FLESH gets ripped off along with the hair when you do it..Let me just say you won't here Martha Stewart saying "it's a good thing" anytime soon.
