Men and underarm hair

[nomuliguns]

Is it really ummanly for men to shave their underarm hair? I find it far more offensive when a man lifts his arm and there's that dark tuft waving in the wind. Am I the only one? Social standards put the shaving pressure on women. I think it should be shared.

I think that keeping the hair trimmed is much better.  I agree, that big tuft of hair under a mans arm can be rather unappealing.

Yes, it is slightly disturbing. I know quite a few guys that shave under there. It just seems so much more hygienic and clean!

that post cracked me up. yes, men should sometimes shave their hair anywhere coz it cuts down on the bacteria and therefore doesn't smell as bad when they sweat.

Exactly! My boyfriend thinks that if he shaves his underarm hair then he will be too womanly. I am trying to convince him it's the right thing to do. lol.

I don't mind men with hairy armpits, as long as they trim it...What I don't like is when a man has a hairy monkey chest...Minimum hair is okay, but not a whole lot.

Would that be similar to a man shaving his legs?

It's not the right thing, it's a thing you want him to do.
