Men Ashamed of Body Hair Article

As I only shave my face once or twice a week, I found that shaving my armpits reduced my antiperspirant use by 1 stick a month, adding up to about $50/year

Along with my electrolysis downstairs for surgery, I'm also having my armpits done. I don't like the prickly feel after shaving but I've been keeping them closely clippered about once a week for several years. I agree, not only does it help with antiperspirant but it helps the product stick to the skin, not the hair and it works way better and less smell. I'll so so happy when my pits are clear of all hair. I should probably do an accountants ROI (return on investment) calculation to make sure the costs are worth it but how to you price not having to take the time to clipper it anymore???

Well, calculate average time taken by the clipping, multiply your hourly rate by 2 (you are doing it off work, in your free time), add razors price/clippers wear into equation. :-p

Craziness! IT is not that complicated. Costco once a year. Average $50 not including TP and laundry detergeants. Use a womans deoderant so that you blend in at work, and present as more docile. Hair on a guy is super sexy, so leave THAT!

FYI if you keep short hair, and live in a hot climate you will have to expirement to find a gel that does not melt. CREW is expensive, however you only use a teeny tiny bit and it is the highest melting point I have found. WalMart has some they are ok, and some that will basically irritate the @*%#^~ out of your eyes when they melt.

Now, with the money you saved by nixing the search for your perfect self, in a perfect world, accept that you are....abnormal.... with a "get out of jail free card" and get a pedicure once a month! Get the delux package (hot wax, massage etc) $35. Chat like a bird to the ladies in there, they are so bored of that place, you will be a breath of fresh air. The massge chair was so rough, I asked for a more gentle one and eventually turned it of.

This study does not really say if all the embarrassed men were embarrassed by having too much or too little body hair ? Lots of men are embarrassed by not having enough body hair to keep up with hairier men. Look at the men wearing shirts in public when they could choose to be shirtless and you will find more of them have less body hair, not more body hair under their shirts.

Growing up, the hairier guys always loved showing off any body hair they had. And us younger guys couldn t wait to grow ours as soon and as furry as we could.

Well, as far as I am concerned, lots of hair on a man's chest, and heaven forbid, back, is not at all sexy -- it is repulsive. And that from someone with a very hairy chest. HRT is the culprit - before using T supplements, very little hair. Now a forest. Shaving is such a pain, it isn't worth bothering with anymore.

So upset nit to be there...I want my mama.....bahhh

Sooooo...RNs in Cali are sanctioned by Consumer Affairs.... and I happened to be a higjly trained registered state domestic servant...and we servants... I will have you know, are overseen same as barbers and hairdressers, except we are the most highly policed of any profession in any state in the most regulated nation on the globe.... And while I may pretend ( a dream btw of being a whore, and had to rain it in tonite btw..... just really a nun too:( OMG a nurse would be better off arrested for DV or drugs than solicitation)..So...... a trim from yours truly....while understandably perhaps not desired,...could be prudent, legal, safe, totally gentle and completely sanctioned by the state! So....please don't shave the nun...it would be an honor, not a chore in the least, to shave the hairy bitch next year!

Please dont throw me on the street....OMG how will I survive???? Quit being such a prude!
