Opinions on back hair

Post Reply New Topic

I think its an over-statement that waxing backs is absolutely necessary...I personally would find that to be quite an unnatural look and not in a good way. I mean sure if its excessive it could be unattractive, but in general I don't see the big deal. I myself don't usually shave my legs, it really only visibly grows below the knee but its not thick. I also only shave arm-pits in the summer when its hot out. I have certainly heard females 'have' to shave off body hair to be appealing to anyone but I have a boyfriend so....that is clearly false. I imagine this is similar, in some social circles maybe women do prefer guys who wax their backs and maybe even chests and in other circles no one cares.


I think social norms pressure people to get rid of body hair, but I think it's kind of odd....to each their own though. Some people think you should shave 'down there' but again unnatural and added weirdness as well since the hair grows after pueberty so shaving it off makes it look like that process didn't occur at least to me it would.

It's funny you mention that. One of the primary purposes of things like hair (other than insulation and a couple of other things) is to do exactly that. The main areas where body hair still exists are in the main pheromones are produced. And, the pheromones that attract person A will not attract Person B. That is one of the things that makes scent and bodily functions so important. We respond to there chemicals whether we are aware or not.

As for body hair...I ain't de-furring for nobody. I am what I am and I ain't itching all over to please someone else. Pruning around the playground is one thing. But, not a full body deforestation.

But, it ain't for everybody.

why not just use a cream? it's what women do who don't wax / shave.

The creams can burn certain skins and really need to be away from certain tissues, especially mucus tissues. Just be very, very careful. But when the creams work they work great. Even better than shaving.

I don't think you should worry about it too much at the moment, honestly.

I highly doubt that anyone you date is going to get to see your back before you start dating them, so back hair shouldn't have any bearing on your chances of dating someone.

And anyway, if you do start dating someone who's not fussed on your back hair, you can get them to help you wax it.

You know, it's funny you mention about people not seeing the back hair before a date or something. Was talking to a woman once, wasn't sure if I was being probed or not, but she started in on full body hair removal except for head hair (not beard or mustaches though....those had to go). I told her I was not removing hair for anybody. She stopped really talking to me after that.

So, it can come up, oddly enough. And, if you have the wool sweater poking out of the top of your shirt, then there is no mystery there.

I guess for you it depends on your social scene. When I lived in the UK I was shocked at the amount of men using sunbeds, wearing tinted moisturiser and sporting GHD straightened hair, so if they are waxing too, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

I think man-hair is scratchy like a wool jumper, but I don't really care either way, in healthy relationships superficial things should not be deal-breakers.

You should see the men of the Staten Island and Jersey Shore variety.....

I done a google image search, Jersey Shore men produced images of the beautiful people from the MTV show. Staten Island men produced images of a buck naked streaker, mug shots, mafia members in court and some very tall basketball players. I think I know what you meant though.

Out of interest though, if someone did have body hair would you write them off instantly or give them a chance to remove it?

Lemme hunt around........

If body hair is the deal breaker, I want nothing to do with someone like that.

I have some, but not much, body hair.

I'm not shaving it!

I don't smell bad because of it. I make sure I bathe every day--even when I'm home all day.

I understand the hassles that ladies must go through to shave their body hair. It doesn't seem fair, somehow.

I don't get turned on by women with a blatant beard/mustache, though

I also have to wonder... if they're wanting you to change your body hair for them before you start dating, how much else would they expect you to change for them?

Nooo, thats too funny
