i'm betting shaving the armpits would be even worse than that :Q



its not sensitive as pubes, for most people atleast:p so your fear is unfounded:)

ahh, really? does that come from personal experience? i'm just horrified to try anything like that again, it was the worst two weeks of my life while it all grew back :eek:

Besides, haven't you guys seen that Seinfeld episode? Everytime you shave it, it grows back thicker and blacker and longer. And when it starts to come in, it will be itchy as hell. You'll probably look like a monkey for a couple of days unless you continually shave it.

That's an urban legend. All the excuses you guys give for not shaving, and yet most of you expect females to shave. Pshft!

I don't want a guy to shave, but if you look like you have Don King in a headlock, its time to trim it up some. :p

Stuff only itches the first time it begins to grow in. If you continue shaving it, no itching. I'm fairly sure that applies to all body parts, but of course, I wouldn't know firsthand.

*breaks out the tinfoil hat*

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

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

Only time will tell.

Cheers!

Cold frosty day in hell yet?

No?

They stay as they are then... :D

Men are concerned with only the hair on our heads...

Women are concerned with every last hair on their bodies...

:p

This is the way of things...

i shave mine... and trust me... i aint no pretty boy.

just gets irritating ... and annoying.

plus.. it itches.

 

LOL! Good question. I got tired of guys making fun of ladies who dared to violate their rules of shaving.

Here's my view: It's fine on some guys, but some guys look just so freakin' dirty with it, especially when they sweat. Part of my dislike of watching b-ball is seeing those guys and their different armpit habits. Some are clean shaven, some neatly grown (as it isn't excessive and bushy) and the rest just stinkin' dirty and hairy. I would much rather have a clean shaven guy, but I don't mind someone who isn't so long as he isn't hairy and doesn't sweat too much. :eek: :p
