I care because I am weird. It has little to do with society's expectations. I hate the way body hair feels. And I think body hair holds in bad smells.
This most likely has to do with my tactile and olfactory sensitivities.
Out of interest though, if someone did have body hair would you write them off instantly or give them a chance to remove it?
No, I would not write someone off instantly because of body hair. And I wouldn't expect it to be all removed, just that which was excessive (in my opinion). I'd be willing to compromise.
Hahahaha...I know that the 'bending' on things like the body hair issue is common. But, I also notice that on most people that ability to bend has a lot to do with how much they like that person or really want that person.
You would be surprised what I put up with when younger because I wanted that 'welcome to the Penthouse Forum' experience. And, I think I wanted that because it's what young males are supposed to want to do.

The thing is though beyond urban metrosexuals it seems most body hair is tolerated or even liked Except on the back which seems to produce an almost universal disgust.
One line of my family, is I think somewhat distantly, Jewish which maybe explains this genetic predisposition.
It's also a cultural/age issue that fluctuates over time. I have always had a beard. It was a great beard when young. Golden reddish brown that turned red in the sun, thick, soft and easy to make look good. No stragglies. And, it had these two gold streaks that would form. in the sun (Was the first place to start turning white). But at 24, I had a boss try to get me to shave my beard because I wasn't 'old enough' to have a beard like him. Never lost the beard, but it is a generational/cultural thing. His generation, men did grow beards until they had accomplished things. And then there are old terms like, "He was not yet bearded, but had wisdom beyond such short years..."
