On the other hand if you have a very hairy chest you could perhaps shave the sides and sort of sculpt the hair in the middle to hide the boobs?

Stupid thread. I blame you for me getting the wild hair (so to speak) to shave some body parts this morning.
It's itchy already!!! :angry:
Serious post or British humour post?
Well, it is humorous, but also serious. I shaved some nether regions. Hadn't done that in a while.Serious post or British humour post?
But my hairy legs, chest, underarms, forearms, head, and beard are all intact, so all is not lost.

Maybe there will be a "separation" of the human species:
Those who have hair: Homo Sapiens Sapiens
Those who do not have hair: Homo Haud Saeta Sapiens Sapiens
Resurrecting this thread from the dead. Holy crap I think peoples opinions have changed on this topic in 3 years, I am willing to bet!
Personally, I shave everything except arms (leave them alone, not very hairy anyway) and armpits, and trim legs, but just trimmed reallllllllly too short this morning..Oops.

I'd assume it's because hair signals the presence of testosterone. Men evolutionarily would want to appear virile and manly. Women would want to enhance signals that show the presence of estrogen and decrease those of the maps hormone.
Just my guess.
I shave everything pretty much everyday. I love the gym and just like the feel and look. My female fiance enjoys it more than I do. So, no, you're not the only one
Shave below the neck? Absolutely not, I only use a razor on my head if I shave myself bald. I don't even shave my face, I'm too sensitive to razors.
Trim below the neck with barber clippers? Yes, my underarms, chest, and private area.

Since someone dug it up...
I don't shave except my face and that is only 5 days a week. Trim the nether regions from time to time (that hair takes FOREVER to grow) but otherwise, when I take my shirt off it looks like I'm wearing a sweater still. Well, maybe not so much on the majority of my back. I couldn't try shaving below the neck, it'd look WORSE since I probably couldn't get EVERYTHING.
As someone said back in 2008 when this thread started, it gets cold here, any extra insulation is welcome...

Like I said before I just groom and trim a little (mainly in one area ) otherwise I'm fine just being me as are most men. Besides Nick Jonas is making body hair sexy again so might as well keep up with the times.

I trim areas when needed, but don't shave completely. Don't wanna look like a wooly mammoth, but at the same time don't want to look like prepubescent boy. That look just isn't my thing.

Wow, no need to be critical. It's a fun topic so no harm, no foul.
I don't see any reason to be critical either. I'm firmly in the pro-hair camp and think shaving it all off makes you look like a prepubescent boy, but I think grooming certain areas for a nice appearance is smart.
All that shaving all the time so you don't have stubble would be a royal pain. Shaving my face is enough.
I wasn't being critical (of the poster _or_ the topic)
Thought it was funny as a first post to an Apple forum

I r'member this thread when the original post went up - back in 2008. Things have changed a lot around here since then. Lots of newbies who've only been here for a few years think 2012 is ooooollllld.
Who wants some stunna shades? Jessica.?

Gotcha, sorry if I misread your post. Thanks for explaining.

Oh totally. I just kind of chuckled at the thought process:
"Let's see, I think I'll make an account on Mac Rumors, not because I have a specific questions or comment about Apple products, but because I plan on running a search in the non-Apple section for 'body hair shave' since I can't wait to share my own shaving experiences, even if the thread is 3 years old!"
