Men/body hair: just wondering...

hey guys:

I was just sitting here thinking about body hair on men and how the preferences will vary from person to person.
I was just wondering what you guys think would be considered "too much" in terms of a treasure trail line, as well hair in the underarm area? I guess most guys I have seen in the past didnt have much of a treasure trail line, or hair that extends quite outward from the underarm area. Now im confused as to what would be considered too much and a level of proper maintenance for men.
And, how much hair is crossing the line when the underarms are lifted, to expose the hair from the side of the pit, outwards?

Also, if need be, how could I go about approaching this to a guy that may need to "maintain" a litte more in the distant future?

Cheers!

Leese :)

I guess it all depends on what kind of relationship you have with the man in question and what problems you're having with his hair. IF he's not a lover, yet, then your suggestions to groom differently may or may not be received very well.

IF a lover's body hair turns you off or bothers you, then you can express that in as delicate a way as possible. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that he will agree to do anything about it or be willing to "groom" himself any differently. Remember, this is an ongoing process and it takes time to shave body hair. There's also some discomfort involved.

AND, when expressing your feelings about this subject, be prepared that turnabout is fair play and he may likely have some suggestions for YOU, as well.

The only time it would truly be too much, though, would be if it's causing irritation or difficulty doing what you want for each other.

Everyone has their preferences about this subject, of course, but if I cared deeply for the man, then I would accept him as is and then, deal with any resulting problems as they came up.

Somehow, Dakine, I don't think we'll see that post from a guy. LOL! But the lines are definitely blurring between the sexes. Men are shaving body parts they never knew existed before!
