Hairy Bodies and Male Faux Pas

In junior high health class, the teacher explains puberty, wet dreams and body hair growth. Unfortunately for most men, there is never a lesson on what to do with that body hair once it arrives. To complicate matters, some boys grow sagebrush forests on their chests, while their buddies still have the armpits of 8-year-old girls.

Little consistency early on leads to a swarm of body hair maintenance opinions. Ask 10 different guys what to do with pubic hair, and you'll get 10 different answers, from waxing everything to allowing the government to declare your body the next national park to be preserved. For example, in The Change-Up, Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds' characters opt for opposite sides of the dark and curly debate. To settle the score once and for all, we're highlighting the 10 most common body hair mistakes men make.

Rapunzel Armpit Hair

Right out of the gates, this one may surprise many of you. That is because most men never think about pit hair. And honestly, most guys don't have to worry about it. However, for those unlucky gorillas whose underarms look like they’ve got Lady Gaga-like extensions and are suffering from a beauty or beast identity crisis, it's time to trim. If your arms are down and the hair underneath is still visible, it’s a sign.

Frodo Baggins Toes

The rule of thumb used to be, "Real men don't wear sandals," but with climate change and leaps in sandal fashion, men can feel comfortable baring their toes -- as long as they follow these sandals dos and don'ts. If you choose to do so, you must groom those lower-body digits. You don't necessarily need to get a pedicure (although it probably wouldn't hurt, along with other must-try grooming experiences), but a waxing will definitely keep people from mistaking you as everyone’s favorite hobbit.

Fur Necklace

When you wear a T-shirt, chest hair should never peek out of the collar. Trim it back. You'll see extra-hairy dudes make the effort to shave their entire neck and then either tire out or not know any better and let their long chest hair stick out of their collar like a hemp necklace. A little extra effort goes a long way in this case, if only to prevent future, uncorroborated Bigfoot sightings.

Neck Beard

The only reason this isn't higher on the list is not that it’s that bad of a mistake, but that few adult men actually make such an unsightly oversight. Neck beards -- where the hair on your neck is longer than your facial hair -- make you look like a half-witted truck driver from rural Canada. Beards are great, but you have to keep the neck clean. If your neck ever starts to get longer than your facial hair or looks straggly, you may as well buy a panel van.

Burt Reynolds Chest

Having the chest of Bigfoot was fine in the '70s, but nowadays your chest hair should never be so thick that your T-shirt levitates off the skin. This one often goes hand in hand with a fur necklace, but not always. Just because you make sure chest hair isn't sticking out of your collar doesn't mean you should stop trimming. You want to always look closer to style icon George Clooney in The American than Tom Selleck in Magnum, P.I.

Waxing Entire Pubic Region

Not only does this hurt like hell, but you'll look either prepubescent or like you're ready to audition for a porn. The thinking that it "gives you an extra half inch" is bogus. It's not like the lady is going to feel this phantom half inch when it matters. Just trim down there every once in a while.

Unibrow/Grandpa Eyebrows

One thing men should know about eyebrows is to not let them grow together. Also, as you grow older, watch out for and pluck long, crazy eyebrow hairs that grow longer than the others. They'll be easy to pick out because they'll be growing in the opposite direction and look like they belong on your 80-year-old grandpa.

Back Hair

It can be difficult to stay on top of body hair removal, but when it comes to your back, it is a must. You're not a silverback gorilla. Never let your back hair go untamed. Keep it clean back there always, no excuse. No woman has "a thing” for back hair. Back hair just makes you look older and more gross.

Untamed Pubic Hair

Manscaping is not just a clever pun; it’s a means of reciprocating when your significant other is thoughtful enough to shave for you. Still, a number of guys make this mistake. Don't get lazy and only do it before big dates. Get into the habit, because the one time you forget will be the time you'll be surprised with a random hook-up. And what are you going to say then? “Sorry about my bush?” Why risk it getting to the point where you would ever have to utter those words?

Ear and Nose Hair

This is No. 1 for a reason. Ears and noses have to be checked every single day. One rogue hair will ruin an entire conversation, because the person you're talking to will not be able to focus on anything else. And if it’s a girl you just met, forget about getting her phone number. While a lot of the previous entries will be seen only during intimacy, making this mistake will prevent you from even getting started down that path.

Thanks Dave..I keep myself totally shaven...with the exception of my forearms...Somehow they feel odd or foreign being bald...and it becomes obvious they've been shaven, being exposed for all to see during the warm weather..I suppose this winter will be the winter of total depilitation...(?) arms and all...There's something smooth and wonderful and feminine about total hairlessness..I love it...Thanks again Jackie

I don't mind the gray hair on my head so much as the gray hair on my balls.

And I have seen many a phoo of a great body with magnificent C&B spoiled by wild and ugly hair.

Whenever I even mention something about maintaining my appearance many guys I know will accuse me of sounding female. Maybe if they spoke to some of the women about it then they may find that at least making an effort to stay trimmed and clean(not necessarily completely hairless--some women find that to be a turn-off) then they will find thier efforts appreciated.

Depending on how you look at it I am either lucky or not. I never had much body hair to start with. Pretty much just pits and pubic. I kept that groomed until I got tired of doing it all the time so I had it lasered off. So now I am pretty much hairless from neck down. Nobody male or female has even looked at me strangely or commented. I think that is somewhat because it is not that unusual anymore. I belong to a gay nudist group and at our socials all but a couple of older members have at the minimum their groins shaved.

Apart from beard trim, shaving the neck and taming the monobrow lol, i let the rest grow wild. Fairly hairy all over. Would be a full time job keeping up with that.

I love being hairy and very attracted to other guys being hairy, especially in the pit and pube department. Nothing hotter to me than a nice thick bush.
