Hmmm...

me = asian
me = have hair all in the right places

me = love you loong time
 
I'm a fairly hairy dude, and have gotten even more so in the past few years. I shave down town because its cleaner. I trim between my eyebrows about once a month to cut down on the unibrow. And I recently started shaving the stray hairs that started growing on my shoulders and upper arms, because frankly they don't belong there.

Don't really want to shave my forearms though...I just haven't ever had a desire too.

me=asian
me = has too much hair. Must shave twice daily.
you= gets asked a lot whether you shave your arms because you prolly do you nancy.
 
the hair is there because it's SUPPOSED to make the sweat bead up on your arms. that's how sweat cools you. it evaporates on your skin. when it drips off, it just makes you more dehydrated, but still hot. so you sweat even more than before, and lose even more water. way to go guys!

talk about stupidity triumphing over nature.
 
I trim the underarm hair, pubs and occasionally trim (not shave) the hair on my chest so I don't look like a freaking cave man. I'm not Robin Williams hairy or anything, I just think it looks neater trimmed.

Never have I shaved my arms or legs though. I understand why cyclists and professional swimmers do it but can't see any reason for the average male to do this.
 
I shave or Nair for Men my arms, pits, legs and chest. I'll let you guess about the other area.

I shave my arms once in a while for races where crashes are very likely, that's about it. Leg stubble is annoying enough, I don't need arm stubble to deal with as well. 😛

So you shave before every race? 😛

me=16y/o full blooded vietnamese
me=has enough hair to feed america
yeah i dont shave....i know what ur talkin bout.....few of my cousins have that problem....few of like 20 something.....but i understand....what i dont understand is how some guys nipples start to (from what they say) burn when running or doing sports so they tape it up.....yeah that always confused me....
 
Yup, I shave em and chest in the summer b/c I'm a vain gym rat bodybuilder. Only problem is razor bumps which give you big red bumps occasionally. Woman loves it alot better than with hair, this I can attest to. Legs I would never do unless competing for Mr.Olympia...

Hehe...I crash a lot less than I did back when I first started racing. Your self-preservation instinct kicks in when you hit 30. 😛

Use Nair for Men. Just don't get any on you nipples, burns like hell.

Maybe the women just realize how vain you are and say so to soothe you ego😉 Seriously, I bet a lot of Bodybuilders do to show off their physique. On the other hand I doubt any of them shave their nads as shaved nads would reveal how much they have shrunk from taking steriods. On top of that I couldn't imagine showering in the gym locker room bald like a little boy!

It's pretty simple: during a long race, your clothes keep rubbing against your nipples. Your nipples get hard and the clothes keep on rubbing until they start to wear off the skin. When I've done a thousand miles of riding in a week, my nipples will start bleeding if I don't tape them over before the start of a ride. Ordinary Scotch tape works great.

Never shaved my arms; I'm a pretty low-hair person and don't mind the little hair I do have on my arms and chest. The only people I know who shave their arms are guys with a lot of tatoos on them.

lYeah, I have jet black hair so it definitely helps. If I had blonde hair I probably wouldn't give a dam.

Shaving nads lol, yes they probably have little peanuts for testes. What's the point of getting big and getting chicks if you can't do 'em? Maybe we should ask Barry Bond's wife how many times she gets it, maybe once in a decade? 😕 😀
 
I couldn't ever see myself shaving my arms or legs... it's just weird.

I shave just about everything else (arm pits excluded), but I don't get the point in shaving your arms or legs unless you're a gay swimmer or something.

Well there goes my appetite! TMI dude,TMI! 🙂
 
I shave my chest on occassion, but that's about it. I've given a stray thought or two to my arms, but don't think I'd ever actually go through with it.
 
<------- SWIMMER


ya.. i've shaved my arms before but i dont know about the sweat dripping off thing.... i could see what they are talking about with a shaved arm all the water just runs off when i get out of the pool... doesnt stay locked up in the hair and keep you wet for longer

WTF.... because you are a swimmer automatically makes you gay.. i love how some people think... you go to a swim meet sometime (you can look at the girls in their swimsuits) and look at the girls in the crowd... most of them just oogle at the swimmer guys package the entire time

if being able to swim fast, wanting girls to bug out their eyes looking at my package, and choosing to shave once a year so i can go faster makes me gay... then boy i dont wanna be strait anymore (j/k) i will never go gay


BTW.. isnt the term gay a vacationable offence?
