Hairy Men are Gorgeous!

Why are hairy men villified?

Hairy Men are Gorgeous!

Humans are covered with hair, even the most fair-haired, pixie-like person has body hair unless they are suffering from a medical condition. Androgenic hair (hair that appears post-puberty) is due to the male hormones present in both men and women. Men have more of these hormones (yes, really) so are generally hairier.

So one could assume then, that the hairier the bloke, the more 'manly' he is. Which makes you wonder why so many men prefer to remove their body hair.

You're a woman, right? How do you feel about hairy men? Do you purr or do you run?

You're not a woman; you ARE a hairy bloke? Are you proud of your mat? Do you hate it? Do you do all you can to get rid of the lovely, curly stuff? Let us know how you deal with HAIRY MEN!

Hairy backs

Hairy back hairy fairyMen with hairy shoulders and backs seem to engender a wide range of reactions among the fair sex. Some women hate them, others love and cherish them while others could care less. Those who profess to delight in a hairy chest are unable to accord the same affection to a hairy back. Why is this? It's the same thing, right?

Hairy fronts

hairy chested hunkA few years ago, a moderately hairy chest was all the rage. I remember being very proud of the fact that I had a boyfriend with at least three hairs on his chest. These days it seems that more and more men prefer the hairless look.

I can't say that I like it - I think I prefer a hairy chest on a man. What do you think?

Who likes a hairy chest? Cameron Diaz does:

(She) admits there is nothing sexier than a hairy chest.

She said: "I love chest hair. Mmm-hmm. I'm not saying I want a huge amount, but the right amount is very sexy! I don't like the smooth, hairless body."

Has he asked you to shave him?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes! And it was the start of a new fun sport for me!

cffutah says:

sure have been guilty of doing this.

squidoolover76 says:

Hairy men looks Macho indeed.

Missy says:

Just found out that I like hair on a man! :) Love running my fingers slowly along his arm, and love how good his hairy and trimmed chest feels. I wouldn't let him shave EVER! Maybe help him trim, but no shaving because I love him hairy :P

George says:

I'm a 18 year old guy who is hairy from abdomen to feet.
I've never shaved my legs and those are rather hairy, I'm even shy of wearing shorts, because everyone nowadays is smooth!

Even my dad told me "you're a man, what do you expect".

alex says:

Only on arms and legs ! my boyfriend he has hairy face legs and arms when we cuddle and with a deep voice hot dam! Take me now!

zetchi says:

there are a lot of hair removal techniques...just select one you like to use.

georgina says:

Keep the left part & grow it in thicker - I love hairy chests, not backs, and stubbles on young guys

king28 says:

I like Hairy Men..

greece123 says:

all greeks are hairy and thats its strenghth

mulberry says:

Only his neck, which is probably the only body part I would actually prefer a man to shave. (well, except perhaps for the nose) Otherwise, be yourself would be my advice.

says:

I never shaved a guy before, I would if I had a boyfriend. If I have to shave and I am a hairy woman, then he has to shave to.

Niki_Goddard says:

Well I say yes but it was actually waxing. Trust me it is very satisfying to wax a man's disgustingly hairy back, especially if they have been mean to you. Oh, did that hurt?... Shame... Well I'm really enjoying it. Mwaha

alteredkat says:

LOL...just had to laugh out loud to Spook's response!

Spook says:

I beg your pardon.

rajesh says:

I thought hair on men is hated, a lot that is. Infact I thought it was an abnormality and as a man you may as well not even bother to ask for a date in the fear it may go further. which I hav'nt for over 10 years and I'm only 34.I always meet girls and wish it could go further than becoming good friends but I just cant do it and dont know how really its been so long. I am hairy and have hair on my back but nothing like the image above with masses of hair on shoulders.
Constant jokes by women and laughter in pubs has completly shreded the little confidence I had.

tsmart says:

yes, but only his back ha ha.

says:

Funny you should ask - I had a flatmate once who had a very hairy back. His bestfriend from childhood also lived with us too and, since teenagers, the hairy backed one was used to getting his back shaved by his best friend (another bloke).

I came to find this out once when the friend was away on business and it was a particularly hot week so I was asked instead to help with the situation.

Yes... and I told him to pack his bags (including the shaving gear) and leave.

Tolovaj says:

I miss the option starting with No...

baby-strollers says:

Waxing sux!

abdul hameed says:

i m male 36 years old my all body is covered by hair i m shamed to open my shirt what can you help me

leatherfads says:

i dont think so.......

whoisbid says:

Please don't shave body hair because it will take too long to get back for some men

IARob says:

This is my personal expeirence: I just god rid of my pelt monday using nair speed hair removal foam but by wednesday i was having stuble and it kept my shirt bunching up under my sweat shirt. never again will i try that.

Othercat says:

My husband chest is absolutely covered with thick sexy hair. I told him I'll leave him if he ever shaves it off. Which is weird because I don't even like chest hair...........except on my husband!

Toolesque says:

No WAY Baby! Keep those curly locks of love, I love to run my hands allover a nice hairy man.

Slainna says:

Please don't shave it or ask me to! I love fuzzies!!!

Sapphy says:

Yes, but I LOVE men with a little chest hair, so NO WAY am I gonna shave him!

Chris says:

Trim to neaten it up...... that is fine ! But never shave that beautiful body hair.

 

Hairy legs.... or not?

C'mon, everyone prefers their man to have hairy legs, don't they? A guy looks silly with smooth legs.... or does he?

HES HOT!..especially when they get out the pool and the hair all running down in a smooth pattern...growl baby!

Cathy says:

Yummmmm!

Maladjusted says:

I've had girlfriends in the past who wanted me to nair my chest, shoulders, back... I grew up in the days when a hairy chest was a good thing on men. Now I'm grown, and most women want hairless men who look like preteen boys. I don't get it, and I don't want to. The only time I shave my chest, it's when I play a woman in one of my comedy sketches.

Morgannafay says:

hehehhe, yep, he's sexy. Bonus: This man has a happy trail. :D

whoisbid says:

Hair is cool

Chewy says:

If he was my guy, YES YES YES (insert his name here) XD

Not bad! Not really a fan of all the tattoos, though.

markopolo says:

its very nice....enjoy maleness!

Ramkitten says:

I can't say I find OVERLY hairy men attractive (not that it's one of the main things I care about), but I'd much rather they go the natural way than shave it all off.

CDT says:

hubba hubba!

Brite-Ideas says:

yes they are! If I wanted to marry a hairless rat I would have :)

Koupie says:

not bad, looks a bit like my husband minus the tatoos. He is Italian and I think most of them are hairy.

biguy18 says:

gorgeous

Amelia says:

just the right portion, not too much....look better, doesn't it!

Riyan says:

Ye, I agree with you, so sexy, isn't it!

Ray says:

Nice Hairy Chest....A bit skinny perhaps. Hairy treasure trails from his Navel is Nice.Men should never shave...They feel and look like a prickly pear. Wax the back, trim the rest...Never Shave.

Joe says:

Yum...

Sean says:

I'm a guy, and i do not mind a hairy man at all.Not one bit. If that's part of his genetic make up then fine. I accept him as he is.Plus, it takes up alot of time and work shaving it off constantly.I also do not believe in false advertising. If i liked girls, i wouldn't want to be dating one with hair weaves,fake nails,color contacts etc. When they take all of that junk off, you end up thinking what the heck do i have here?Hair on a guy is another part of what makes him visably different from a woman.Keep the hair, and keep it real.Hairy guys, don't always believe that no one likes to see you hairy. This simply isn't so. Be yourself.Those that like you will show interest in you just the way you are.

ajgodinho says:

I think men need to have some hair, but I have to agree with those who don't like the hairy back or too much of the hairy cover! ;)

sds says:

moustache is the most important

OMG! He is so sexy! Looks Great! Nice trail. ;-)

I love hairy guys, sexy and masculine.

J says:

I like it ..... its quiet nice but like not toooooooo crazy

GrowWear says:

For all my cave-woman sisters, all I can say is... Man. Hairy.

tandemonimom says:

A most manly man!

alteredkat says:

My Dh looks like most of the men in your pics LOL ...so I guess there's my answer!

tyler says:

he is very sexy

chris says:

he is very hot!!

pastella says:

Much better than no hair. I can't understand the attraction of smooth, oiled chests without so much as a hair. Yuk! A man should be hairy. The hairier the better. Much more masculine.

Kimsworld says:

Mmm.hmmm. Hairy guys are sexy! Too many people make such a big deal about it. I much prefer a manly-man, who is hairy, over a pretty-boy, who spends more time in the bathroom than I do! Seriously, if a guy shaved his legs, I would NOT look twice at him.

LKW31 says:

Not keen on a hairy back, but a gentleman with some hair is better than one with none at all! So, not a bear, but a bit of hair in moderation.

Babis919 says:

Damn he is sexy.....

slainna says:

yum yum!

aj2008 says:

Ok girls, yes my man is very hairy & I can positively confirm that as far as "loving" is concerned.......WOW o WOW!!!!

eastleigh1 says:

Forget the "cosmetic crap" - I just "hate" to see a man with shaved "pubes", let alone the hair on the rest of, his manly body... A man is "who/whom" he is, a true man doesn't need to worry about whether he's got hair on his body or not -he is "just as he is"....

AW says:

Cute!

atan says:

yes

Carlito says:

GORGEOUS!!!!!!

skiesgreen says:

Don't know why but I was always turned off by hairy men for some reason. At my age now it wouldn't probably matter as any male match would probably be bald all over anyway. Or at least grey so I wouldn't notice

Ladymermaid says:

I love my hairy guy. He's my pet.

Andy says:

Gorgeous but for excessive tattoos, but gorgeous chest!

anonymous says:

Let me snuggle up to that furry belly and hopefully not get too much friction burn on my nose.

BigGirlBlue says:

I don't mind the look above. But the hair back is a bit much for me. Naturally clean is fine too. Shaving the legs? No way - that's just wrong.

Heather450 says:

There is NOTHING in this world sexier than a man with hair on his body.

Heather426 says:

I like hair!

Andy says:

FANTASTIC!!

lakern26 says:

I think the only area men should shave is their face (if they want to, of course). I love the hairy, manly look. I'm married to a hairy Italian and wouldn't have it any other way!

naturegirl7 says:

Some hair is great. Definitely on the chest and legs, but not too much on the back. I prefer a moderate amount.

luvmyludwig says:

Chest hair and tattoos, JACKPOT!!! Pinch me, I'm dreaming right? Is this heaven? Did I die? Ok, so I guess you can tell I like a hairy man, mmm mmm mmmmmmm. Hair on a man makes me go all woozy, and I don't mean it makes me sick either. Slick chested model types are not attractive to me at all unless of course they are covered in tattoos. (Tattoos are the only acceptable reason to get rid of man-hair in my opinion *grins*) So keep rockin' that hair men, some of us appreciate you manly types!

Absolutely not - pass the razor... on second thoughts, I'm outta here....

Tolovaj says:

I am hairy. I am gorgeous. End of discussion;)

mistfang says:

I think this man would look a hundred times sexier if he waxed! I just can't stand all that hair! It takes away from the rest of the man, I think. My mom on the other hand... Well that is an entirely different story... :)

Ruthi says:

I love my hairy DOG! Just a little bit of hair on my fellas, please and thank you.

fanfreluche says:

On the legs ok, a little on the chest, but please not on the back

andiamo83 says:

That is a bit much for my taste!

SereneSea says:

I like clean shaven, little bit of hair is OK.

slackira says:

Eww, I hate too much hair on men. A big no no for me.

chocsie says:

too much body hair is a turn-off. i think a little bit would be just right..!

JJ says:

HOT, SEXY, BEAUTIFUL

says:

You all must be kidding, right?

djeneralee says:

Hair or not doesn't mean you a man or not. Everyone has a choice and it is his body. So if a hairy man shave he is bond to find a woman that will like it and same if he doesn't shave. I personally find the hairy look disgusting.

Momsbusy247 says:

No, No, No, No..... enough said right?

hayleylou says:

Prefer the not hairy male, I had a relationship with a hairy guy that went wrong, think it put me off.

athomemomblog says:

I'm really not a fan of hairy guys . . . but I don't think I'd be into a guy who shaves, either. Fortunately, I found myself a Latino guy . . . they tend not to have much body hair! :D

Lee says:

A bit of hair is manly but if it looks like he's wearing a sweater ... see ya later. I'm not about to start shaving a guy's body though.

Pukeko says:

Really, I don't find it attractive, but I wouldn't change it (nor any feature, we are who we are)

dustytoes says:

He is a good lookin guy, but I don't like the hair...sorry... nice tatoos though..

HorseAndPony says:

OMG, I am a fool for a nicely built back with no hair.

 

Hairy Faces

Mr Raggededge with stubbleBeards are something else, I suppose, though it seems that the hairier the guy the more likely he is to have a beard, or at least, a good face-carpet of stubble.

Did you know November is National Beard Month?

Facial hair has long been associated with manliness... in the eyes of men anyway. What do you think? Are beardies cool and sexy or scruffy and unkempt? Are beards the epitome of rugged individualism or merely disgusting face fungus full of cake crumbs (and worse)?

All About Beards

The Art of Manliness: 20 Manliest Mustaches and Beards From Facial Hair History

Pic: My usually smooth-faced hairy male sporting a layer of face fungus. He likes a chin blanket for World Cup tournaments - usually soccer but the Rugby World Cup is the current impetus. Why? I have no idea. He says he'll keep it until Wales lose. But they won't.

Greene's photographic eye is full of adoration for his subjects and their environments. There is a very intimate, personal feeling here; one not posed, but observed and captured. Greene shifts from long-range portraiture, to close-up shots where specific textures, shapes, and tones become the subject of the image. This abstraction weaves a visual spell, such that even those without a predilection for hirsute men will be enthralled. The photographs provide the space for longing, imagination, and adventure. Hairy is an unusually quintessential book--portraying an incredibly focused and fleshed-out vision of a very beautiful, hairy world where man, dog, and nature swirl together.

Say what?
