Cant stand it when hair pokes through my polos, clean shaven is the only way.

Wear an undershirt.

I don't know a single guy that does, that mind most of my friends aren't hairy. I've considered it but it'd be rather painful so I'd get it trimmed then waxed. That's my thoughts.

I shaved my chest last summer ('04) and in a matter of a few months I had more chest hair than I had before I shaved. I think the myth is true.

you are cute as a teddy bear, Random Variable

Yes, shaving your chest or any other parts of your body will cause a change in your sexual orientation. Driving a certain car, ie Miata, wearing clothes of a certain type or color, exercising or not exercising will have the same effect.*

I would just try it once and see how it goes. Who knows, you may like it!

Use some clippers with a short guard on them. You get the best of both worlds that way. No itch, still manly hairyness, but no long curlies. FTW.

Men have hair,in a Lot of places.

Chest,back,groin,etc.

Tell your G/F if she wants a hairless person,she must want a 13 year old Boy,not a Man.

Bingo.

Either trim like described above, or wax. Shaving sucks. Constant ingrown hairs and/or stubble is NOT attractive or comfortable no matter how you look at it.

Personally, I trim. A man is supposed to have some body hair. It just doesn't have to be long and wild.

Shaving chest = happier GF = more sex = MAN

Yup, seems like a no brainer.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

I've never had a problem with body hair. I just don't have alot of it. But if I did, I would get it waxed. Not shave it.
I can imagine someone shaving their chest and then getting a ton of ingrown hairs. And that looks even worse.

 

[aidanjm]

so this is what it means to be a man?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

only if you are gonna be in a boy band

I think if you like it that way then who cares. Saying its "gay" or "unmanly" is something people say when they are insecure about that thing and it makes them uncomfortable.

Nothing that you genuinely think is valuable/care about/like is "unmanly". If you are a man and aren't gay, then don't worry about it, let the whiners cook their own beef and eat it. People can be genuinely interested in making themselves look good....not because they are vain or anything, but because they just care about that. You should never condemn anything someone cares about. And no, people who try to look good or think about looks a lot are not inherently shallow. A lot of people simply care about that; but that doesn't mean thats all there is. I go to a tanning bed, I don't care what they think of that, I simply like looking in the mirror and seeing beauty. No, I'm not super stuck up or anything, its just something I notice. Its the same reason I love animals (cats especially), because I see beauty in them and I simply can't get enough of it/them. Its also why I'm so attracted to [only] hot women, much more so than all my other friends...something to do with perfectionism, I don't know. But anyhow...

So if you think you'd look better (or have no preference and your wife would like you to), then go ahead and do it. And even if you do have a preference, if your wife wants you to do that, why not? I'd love to do anything that would make my wife more attracted to me. I might not notice anything, but the fact that I know I'm satisfying her more than I used to every time she looks at me is so satisfying in itself.....thats half the reason of why I work out. So shave your chest. You're not interested in the other guys, so who cares what they think of your chest.

So if you're a man and not gay, its ok to run around in a pink thong and stockings, right? I mean you're not gay so...
