Hey ladies, and gentlemen if you can provide good info, should I shave my body hair? Is that something that women like or not? I know I'm over generalizing here but I would like some insight onto this. I'm not insanely hairy, but I have the standard chest and belly hair coverage that most men have. So, should I shave it?

As another opinion - keep the hair. It's natural. Many women like it... and many discover they do once they experience it.

LiveAnnLearn agony auntIf you ask me, shaved chest looks good only on guys with great (muscular and buffed) bodies - if yours isn't, chest hair might actually make you look more manly, or at least that's my opinion. Also if your skin is very pale, leaving the chest hair on might be the better way to go.

I know women with both preferences. You'll have to ask the ones that matter to you. As a man, I would be glad to get rid of my chest hair, but my wife likes it.

k_c100 agony auntMe personally, we I have never really been bothered by a bit of chest hair, it is quite cute. As long as we are not talking about your whole torso and back being covered in hair then I would leave it alone!

The idea of running my hands over a man's chest and feeling stubble is not nice, I would much rather it be natural and a little bit if hair is loads better than stubble!

If you are going to do anything to it then I would say wax rather than shave, yes it hurts more but it lasts longer and the hair does not grow back as sharp as it would when shaving - so even when it is growing back it wont feel stubbly!

I hope this helps and good luck!

SirenaBlusera agony auntWhether you keep it or shave it off should depend on whether or not YOU like having it. Every woman's preference is different.

Kenj agony auntGet waxed instead LOL. Seriously though it depends if you feel comfortable with it or not.

It actually turns my girlfriend on when she runs her fingers through my chest hair.

Ok well it varies between women, because I for one, think a shaven man is unnatural and not a turn on at all... I prefer just how the guy is.

If your hair is average and not gorilla-ish then don't worry about it. If though you feel you would feel more confident then go for it. But don't do it because of what you think a woman will think, because honestly it varies! I love my bf, and he is very normal guy hairy!!

If your future gf or something asks you to, that's different. But remember everyone's particular tastes are different

tennisstar88 agony auntMy husband shaves his on and off because waxing hurts...Beware of those hair removal creams, they often have a bad odor and cause irritation. I've just accepted his hairy nipples and minimal chest hair after awhile, LOL. However, if you're not married and going to be around a woman you're interested then shaving that hair off would improve your chances. Before my husband I was definitely turned off by that hair...I even had a guy with hardcore back hair one time, blech.

blahblahblahh agony auntAh no don't lose the hair! Personaly, I like my men hairy, I like a hairy chest and belly everyone's different. Some women prefer clean shaven men others like them hairy, if you like your body hair then you should keep it, but I'd say keep it :)
