I'm a Thespian trapped in a man's body.

Why not? What's the stigma with hair?

So you wear a wig?


Cheers ! :)

For some reason I have hairy lower legs though -- and I have a bit of a "happy trail". Also, I have plenty of hair in my naughty region -- that's where I have to trim it a bit because my wee-wee is so small it gets entangled and the hair can make my pee split off in two directions.

Dood, thats disgusting. Ahhh... the horror!!! Do you have to wear goggles and gloves when you go to the bathroom?

Pahahahaha! OMFG! I'm crying! Rofl!

Used to shave but trim now. Not only does it look nasty when you lift your arms up and theres a ZZ-top growing from under your arms, but you can't really put any anti-persperant/deodarant on when theres all that hair there

Nah I'm not gay so I wouldn't even consider it. I shower daily and use deoderant so they aren't a hygiene problem

The folicular debate as to wether the male species should trim armpit hair. Hmm. One must ask...


I disagree, asserting that one must not ask. I think the debate here is no more than a figmented polyessential denotation of our incapabilities as a species to settle on any sort of reason for partaking in activities started as a means to increase survival and reproductive fecundity.

Are the aestehtic defiencies mother nature gave us THAT detrimental to the female views of the human body?


Right away we begin to unravel such seemingly puerile terms as "female". Consider it, this terming of a motherly nature as that vital genetic pointe d'origine, which in turn is utilized from the reference point of (again) "female" valuations. In so doing, we relativize any merits of universal human beauty, since the unequivocal recognition of female proneness to unawareness of need and desire leads to chaos if combined with a high proclivity for shopping and other mall-chic phenomena herein dubbed 'chicamania'.


Nature does provide for us, but who are we to say that we should change? Is it a sociological factor? Perhaps the proverbial line of tolerance is shifing yet again: A movement to "anethesize" the essesnce of testosterone from withinn.


Again, your discussion of possible sturm-und-drang between social adaptivity and the will to effect one's own environments misses the point altogether. Namely, that this question should not be considered with the magnitude of scale posed herein due to chicamania and self-creation within oneself given influence by external factors.


An interesing quandry, no doubt. Perhaps this movement is a pyschological one aimed at the capitalization of the male aura, or perhaps a clandestine yearning to control it. Could such a movement be derived simply to test the bonds of commitment men everywhere have made?


I think the quandary is interesting, yet also drole, in a manner befitting a chuckle, a swilling of the martini glass, and a passing out from drunkenness. However, let us look to the underlying dynamics and causes of your entire thesis. And the testing of bonds due to shaving seems negligible. Unless, of course, one is putrid, which may necessitate the removal of hairs to proactively mitigate ossification of salts and proteins released by the sweat glands. Given, one isn't German, that is :D

Let us examine this matter. One HotChic, for reasons unbeknowst to me (for who can understands the nebulous ways of Hot Chics? Perhaps some of them suffer from chicamania?), asks whether or not armpit hair and its cutting or uncutting is somehow related to gender (and possibly sex), since her preliminary studies lead to the conclusion that most females prefer no hair, while most men seek to preserve their state of hairiness. Furthermore, this cross-section of social deviants is asked of their preference in such delicate matters as hair.

Now, prima fascie, I would conclude that HotChic is in need of distraction and seeks to continue her posting style and content while gleaning useful information about people. Yet, this is dubious and cannot be held up to scrutiny.

If I postulate, as you did partially, that males are threatened by the decline of traditional symbols of masculinity such as patriarchical dominance, social manifestations of the "bread-winner" syndrome, and come to the conclusion that a threat to selfhood posed by the clipping of armpit hair, it would bring us back to original problems of chicamania as (I'm sure the wiser, older, and prettier members of the forum will confirm; id est, the women) women control the world, so we, as people, better learn to live with it.

In short, parts are there for a reason, including hair. If people can't figure out how it all fits together, then you're not doing it right. I suggest you ask some HotChics.


Cheers ! :)

Post Scriptum: I'm male, and I'm neutral.

You know.....I pulled an all nighter and went to bed at the crack of 11 AM. Right before, I thought to myself: I have a feeling I'm missing somthing...

And so I did.
