I'm a 19 year old guy, and haven't shaved, or done anything to my arms and legs (I don't look like a Sasquatch, but I feel I'm pretty hairy). I asked my mom about shaving at least my leg hair (most annoying area), and jokingly (I think) told me I would be gay if I did that. So really, I don't know what to do with it. I feel that if I get far enough with a girl, or if I'm going to some "special" party, then I'll try my best to fix myself up lol. So what does OT do?

I have a normal amount of body hair. I don't shave it or any of that nonsense. Good grief. That is so gay.

I am the same as you, 19 and extremely hairy. I shave my chest and back from time to time, but I've never even thought about shaving my arm or leg hair for the fear of being called out as gay (even though theres nothing wrong with being gay Just leave your legs alone, girls only care about hair on their own legs.

Shave my chest (because otherwise it would just be hair around my nipples and that would look weird) and trim armpit hair every two months or so, but that's it. Shaved my legs once in high school. Never again.

I'm very serious about grooming and keep my entire body clean shaven. Can't stand body hair. Yuck! Then again I'm black and keep my body in shape. I guess if you're white you can go for that Pierce Brosnan look.

I only shave the face. The rest I leave where they're at. My wife actually likes my hair where they're at.

Besides, if you start shaving body hair, they'll only get worse. What were thin, straight, almost unnoticable hair become thicker, longer, curlier and funnier-looking.:lol:

Edit:

That reminds me. Last summer, we were at the beach. I saw a woman wearing a bikini with lots of long curlies portruding from the top of her bikini bottom. My guess is she did a lot of shaving at that part.

I trim my facial hair and rarely trim my pube hair. That's about it. The hair on my arms and legs have appeared to stop growing and I barely got hair on them. I also got hair growing on my chest too but it also seems to have stopped growing at the perfect length of barely being noticeable......

I also have a lot of scars on my shins (from playing soccer). My leg hairs do a good job of keeping them unnoticable.

I myself don't mind the hair on my lower legs (though it becomes annoying around the ankles), but I feel all the hair on my thighs look weird. I also don't mind the hair on my arms.

If you're serious about losing your body hair, use a medical procedure to get rid of them permanently. Or try that tape thing on TV.

Shaving body hair only makes them grow longer, thicker and curlier.

keep some of hairs little. electric razor gets them small but doesn't make them grow back bad, so it's good.
get rid of some for a little 'cause they don't grow in all nice yet so they look skriggley
leave some other hairs 'cause I don't have many, like on my arms and legs.

No, I don't. I'm not bothered with it, and I think I'd look weird without any hair on my legs or arms. I do think you should shave if you have a reason: it's itching, you're a professional swimmer (to reduce drag), you've got so much hair that it actually increases your heat-sensation.

Body hair does have its uses, though. It repels a number of small insects and mosquitoes (they find it harder to bit you when you have hair -- I bet they've never bitten your head, even if it's a spot you can't see). It helps keep you warm during cold times. It's a defining difference between man and woman.

Razor for everything except for your legs. You can use clippers on your legs to shorten the hair or you can just shave them completely with a razor as well. So many people shave, it will hardly be noticeable not to mention some people just don't have much body hair anyways. The only catch is if your hair is dark and thick you have to keep in mind that when it grows out a bit the stubble will look gross. If you have balls enough the best option is to wax, but not your legs.

It's a known fact that having body hair reduce the amount of bites you're going to get o.o . I'm not saying anything new here. You're still going to get bitten, but it's still an obstacle.

If you didn't comprehend: I said the hair on my HEAD prevents me from being bitten there. And I know for a fact, from bald friends, that they have been bitten on the head :P .

All of it goes away cept my eyebrows. Don't know why people say it keeps you warm, that'd only be a little true if you were naked. Without out any all your sweat doesn't get soaked up by it and when you clean you'll get even more cleaner, less time towl drying also.

My arms and legs are pretty damn hairy and I'm still like candy to bugs. I get bitten like mad during the summer.

The question is, would it be worse if you didn't have hair there? I don't have daily issues with mosquitoes because I live in an apartment high off the floor, but whenever I visit my parents or go to a rural setting, I have bite-issues as well.

I tend to shave my chest (nipple hair is weird). As for my legs they get really hairy so I trim them down with clippers but never shave them smooth. Just make them a little less furry :)
