I had never thought about it being a double standard before but you may be right. I shave my legs and underarms – because not doing so is just plain gross – and the bikini area to! and I wax my eyebrows. And all Marine has to do is shave his face….. yeah not really fair. But guess thats part of it. Luckily he’s not to hairy. If I guy is really hairy I say wax. But not sure I would recommend the extremity of laser surgery!

@Jen……lumberjacks huh? Well I guess we can’t compete!

@Lola…..I’ve never heard of hair not growing back. In my experience it always grows back thicker. I hope it doesn’t completely disappear, at least not on top. Down there, well, that’s a different story.

@Meleah…..Funny! Yes, there are some cavemen over here. I’ll definitely relay the message. Thanks for that!!

@Den…….and we certainly don’t want to be beasts!

Hairs are good as long as they are in moderation. An excessive hair will make one appear like a beast.

Women: Is there a major double standard going on with body hair? Do you care? How do you like to groom yourself? (Please share if you’d like) And how do you really feel about body hair on guys?

Yes, I do think there is a double standard. And, yes, I am very diligent when it comes to removing and maintaining MY own body hair. As far as how I feel about man hair? Well I dont really mind it, unless we are dealing with EXCESSIVE body hair. And by excessive, I mean caveman like. I think some guys could use a little ‘manscaping’ in certain areas. And, I definitely appreciate a man that waxes his BACK. At least in the summer time!

Me and my guy are both groomed but I think I have a thing about hair in general. I dont mind it too much on men but I’ve always trimmed, waxed etc but it was never really about look for me. It was just another part of my life I could control. The weird thing is, the more I groomed the less hair grew back so I dont know what Im going to do when it disappears for good LOL :/

I don’t mind a guy with a fair amount of body hair. But then I like my men like lumberjacks. I shave my legs and my armpits. Not so much in the winter but in the summer I do. Not because I want to impress a man but it’s and either or kind of thing. I don’t have the patience to grow it out and it itches when it gets too long. And, I’m not European.

@Fatima……..thanks. We try hard to keep well groomed, but sometimes it just gets away from us. Appreciate your thoughts.

Splendid post Guys and I have just gone to catch on the other’s. All my hubby care’s about is simplicity, I mostly get my eyebrow threaded, so I don’t end up looking like a high school gal with bushy eyebrows. It’s nice to see well groomed men out there …. I don’t think they however need to spend so much time and money doing soo like us women …..

@Charlene…….that’s what I think! And that’s what I told the other Guys! But I get the creepy thing too. Shaving the whole area might freak out someone you didn’t know so well…..like your doctor during your physical exam!! And yes, we’re all over the ears, nose, etc. Tough to keep up with the weeds though!

Oh – and top places we DON’T want to see hair are ears, nose, shoulders and back.

Use your discretion for the other areas…. but like I said, don’t go crazy. (see part 2 of my last comment)
