Do Women Prefer Hairy Men?
80
A question for the ages, to be sure. Do the ladies lust over a hairy dude or Mr. Smooth?
It's important to note that men come in varying degrees of hairyness - from "Cousin It" to "Uncle Fester." Some fellas have thick, dark hair curling out of every orifice, weaving together across the entire surface of the skin so that only the palms, bottom of the feet, and certain portions of the face are naturally hairless.
On others, it grows in patches - a map of fuzzy continents and pensulas across their bodies
Others still are smooth for the most part, sleek and unadorned. Some are naturally that way, others not so much.
In any case, I believe that men are just great be they hairy, smooth, and anywhere in between but I do have a little discomfort with men who shave their chests.
Okay, if you are streamlining for athletic reasons, whatever. Maybe I'm just not progressive enough, but I cannot find anything pleasing about the thought of a man shaving his chest. It's a little "metro" for me.
Some women, though, really have a strong preference for one or the other. I know a woman who swoons over that little patch of hair that 70's TV studs always showed at the top of their partially unbuttoned shirts. Another proclaims that male body hair is "gross."
I imagine that it's like bosoms with guys in some respects. They may have a preference as to whether they like them a certain size or shape, but its doubtful that they'd actually reject a woman based on this criteria.
I think that men, like women, have unfair physical ideals being presented to them constantly by the media. They feel insecure about their bodies, too. We should all go a little easier on eachother and while its not a crime to admire a nice physique, the part of the chest we should be focusing on is underneath all that hair anyway!

Thank you kindly, Tom!
Roobee - I like a mans' man. Hairy or smooth by nature, I'm not fussed, so long as he don't start spending more time in the bathroom that your average model, I'm happy
Thanks for reading, froggy-d ;) I'm with you. I once dated a guy who spent more time in the mirror than me and it was a gigantic turn-off. Needless to say, didn't last long!
Hooray for men in their natural state - whatever that may be! :)
I hate hairy men, hmm that doesn't sound right !
I think Ill go for your third picture... smooth as a baby :)
badcompany- yikes! :) Thanks for reading, loooove your avatar!
Princessa- That one is very nice, indeed! Thanks for checking out m'hub!!!
Love a moderately hairy man. I don't care for hair on the back, however, and I really don't know why ;). Men shaving their chest? Ugh!
RooBee - A little hair is fine. I'm just not big on hairy backs and shoulders. Its nothing to throw a guy out over though. Easy fix, I'll just whip out some hot wax. Ya, and I'd kiss it and make it better if it stings.
any man is fine by me lol
Trish, RandyB, Cindy~
Thank you so much for checking out my hair hub! I've been offline for a few days so I just now saw your comments (I was starting to go through withdrawals...needs my 'net!)
Trish & Cindy, I like your angle- men are great in all their hairy or not-so-hairy glory. And, if they do have a little extra turf on the field we could always send 'em over to Randy's place for a waxing. Hmmm, we may not ever see them again tho..: ;)
Sooo entertaining woo hooo. A big nooooooooo to hairy men I like em smooth. If I wanted to mate with a monkey well.............too much hair calls for a little waxing LMAO
Haha, blondepoet, I'm so glad you liked it! At least you are willing to give the hairy ones a chance, provided they wax of course. Sounds painful - but you probably wouldn't have much trouble convincing them to try it! You crack me up- 'If I wanted to mate with a monkey' ROFL!!
Ha. clever 'RooBee'
The Phil- Why thank you very much!!
Interesting RooBee. My personal experience is that as men lose hair from their heads, they start sprouting it from other places - the back eg. And you are right. One should focus on what is beneath the chest
sabu singh, funny (and true) observation! In all seriousness, the hair (or lack of it) is of little consequence in my book. Thank you for reading and commenting.
They say real men have hairy chests, but im a real man and im not hairy at all, other than my barnet (head)..!!
This brings me to a story about me and my sister who both are Greek, living in England all our lifes, and we (Greek people) are supposed to be hairy, but we are both the opposite!
And recently ( a few years ago), i visited my real sister in Cyprus for the very first time, and she is hairy with hairy arms etc...and im thinking if it was me or my other sis who was chosen to live in cyprus when we was a baby, then maybe we WOULD have been hairy!!
Ahhh, maybe its the food they are eating there- 'put hair on the chest,' you know ;D
Thx for reading!!!
Great hub. Keep up the good work
Roobee,
I really get repelled with hairy men. There should be a difference between a bear and a man. A little is about bearable but hair out ov every corner ... YUCK!
my ex was hairy maybe one of the reasons he's an ex. lol Joking, nah, his hairiness had nothing to do with it!
Thank you jayb23! I appreciate your compliments!!
nazishnasim, well - you shouldn't have to 'bear' the burden of an overly hairy man harhar. So glad you stopped by to read my hub, thx!
cindyv- I know you wouldn't drop a fellow just because of his hairyness...just don't let it give you a negative association to all hairy men. :)
Nice hub, very interesting to read. Keep it up! Im a smooth tbh though ;)
Thank you cassidy247- glad you liked it, smooth one. :)
Fur Covered as in Photo#2, No craving for banannas yet...Great Hub!!
LOL, Gods Garden! Thanks for dropping in for a read! :)
Generally I prefer less hair - but if they are smart and not too in love with themselves, I'll overlook the hair :)
Sounds sensible, shibashake - though judging from your avatar you are rather hairy yourself my dear! harharhar
Thanks for reading :D
lol - I'm just having a bad hair day! Usually I shave it all off and am baby smooth :D
It grows back fast tho - am thinking of laser hair removal!
This is good, I enjoyed reading this hub. This is great. I bet you really enjoyed being able to put this all together in one hub. Keep up the good work.
lol, shiba, really you look lovely. Quite shiny and soft :D
annvans, thanks for reading my hair-raising hub (ok, I know, that was dumb). Thank you for your compliments!
RooBee..what an original idea.. lol.. and funny! For the record, I like my men smooth, a little hairy is okay but this is truly entertaining.. and gives one this big decisions..lol..about preferences.
Hi Erin, heehee, this was kind of fun to write and I'm glad you enjoyed. Note to men: Lady Erin likes 'em on the smooth side! :)
Personally I like a man that has little or no hair especially on the chest. Entertaining hub though.
Mark Chris Eddy111 down for "smooth" :D
Thanks for reading and commenting; I'm so glad you enjoyed.
Oh my I really do not like those hairy pics you have but a little is OK. To smooth and I worry they will spend more time grooming themselves than pampering me. Really good hub. I enjoyed every word.
I love the heart patch on the hairy guys back! I bet that itched when it re-grew.
I liked this entertaining article! But i'm not sure of the answer!
I'm not a fan of the shaved chest either! Naturally hairy is fine with me!
A very entertaining hub. Reading all of the comments, it appears that you struck a common nerve. When I was growing up I wanted to be hairy. I thought it would be cool. Turned out that I am the only hairy one in the family. Be careful of what you ask for.
Cool hub! I like hairy chests but smooth backs.
