Should I shave my chest?

What the fuck. Do what you feel like doing man.

Chick wise, look at the trend, and that would be no hair as far as I can tell.
As a rule of thumb following a trend earns you more points with more chicks than it causes you to lose, but it might cause you to lose points with precisely some demographics you like better.

It depends. Do you want to be a viking or a K-pop boy band singer?

Do you do jiu jitsu? Yes. Else: Who gives a fuck? Do whatever you want.

Depends on your physique. If you have good muscle & low body fat shave your abs & chest. It'll look more defined.

So what... Your whole body is hairy but you're gonna have this pristine, hairless chest? Okkk

Short answer: yes.

I am an old goat and hair is growing in places where it doesn't belong.

But don't "shave". Get a set of electric clippers to trim down your chest, legs and arms (as necessary) and buy some Nair For Men^TM to deal with your back.

If you have a low BF% and good pecs and abs then maybe consider Nair or waxing for your front (at the risk of looking like a gay porn star).

This is an interesting topic I've had with several different women. As a ruling majority, most find that body hair signifies masculinity, however, that doesn't mean most women prefer body hair.

As recently as two days a go a HB8 on Facebook that I'm "friends" with posted on this exact topic. Her post said this "Ya'll seriously need to quit shaving your chest to make it look bigger. You look 12!" and of course debates ensued. Some women like their men to have a little something to run their fingers through while enjoying a lazy rainy day. Yet, others, and I quote, "don't like grass on the play ground".

Ultimately, it's your call! Do what makes you feel good about yourself and don't worry about what women want. If you have hair, but are confident in yourself, she will easily over look it. If she don't/can't and wants you to "change" don't!

Hell no, just go with what you have.

If it's getting out of control, like waaaay too long or something trim it to a nice carpet but let it live

I'm hairy everywhere like you and proud of it, thanks to my arab/Mediterranean genes.

I'd say focus on having good physique, trim your armpits and groan and everything else will fall in place.

If its out of control like you say, buzzing your ass and legs should be on a guard and just get to buzzing. Do not sit here and shave your ass bare.

For your chest.....shave (wax would be better) your stomach at least....leave some hair on your actual pecs tho. And, IME, even the ones who will tell you they dont like a lot of hair will be playing with your chest once you guys are laying in bed.

As far as I can tell from a tiny bit of research: SOME hair is good, just not too much.

There are a minority of women who like a lot of body hair on a man. If you want to work out which, open your shirt, show off your body hair, and see which ones like you.

If you can be bothered trimming it then do so (larger fraction of female interest) ..... BUT don't shave it. You want SOME hair, especially chest. She wants to feel she's with a man.

Put the razor away, thin it out instead.

I shave my chest every month or so.

My hair grows weird around my nipples. Makes me look odd.

And I trim my balls.

Idk it grows back. Do it and see if you think it's better.

nummas · 2017-08-30T08:55:49+00:00

Some girls like it, some don't. I'm a hairy cunt. I only shave my back and shoulders. Trim my junk. Haven't had a girl bail on me due to a hairy chest.
