Are We Guys Supposed to Shave our Chests Now?

[Mike 03]

I can't help but notice that lately in many movies I see, the males all have shaved chests (or else have grown no hair on it for hormonal reasons).

Is this the new style, the new look? What is the deal? Am I behind the new trends and new times? Even Obama doesn't have hair on his chest. That is a definite signal that I need to get with the program.

I am neutral on this issue. I'm not a HUGE fan of body hair, especially during the summer, but on the other hand it's a new pain the ass to have to worry about shaving my chest.

1. If you are going to go through the trouble, wax it, it lasts longer...

I am neutral on chests, but backs? Get thee to an Aesthetician!

3. I don't think we have those in KS

Maybe in KC, but its probably KCMO side..

5. I live on the KCMO side

I am naturally not very hairy.No need to shave.
Thank goodness. Id hate to be hairy.

2. If they're movie actors, they probably don't shave.

They go the laser route, I'd assume.

4. Sweat clings to body hair,

so the more of it a person gets rid of, the less likely they are to smell like something died. For that reason alone, I'm totally in favor of minimizing body hair.

6. Only if you're a walking carpet

I'm with mcctatas, I like hairy chests, but the back hair is over the top.

7. No. You WAX your chest, and shave your balls

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it eventually.
