Correct. This is assuming you are capable of growing chest hair to begin with. You are a woman so I would not expect you to comprehend such manly things.

Chest Hair. Do women mind it?

Now that you wrote that, it is my opinion that you weren't misunderstood at all. As a matter of fact, you summarized everything you said into one post making it even more clear how you stand.
How can you say that it was a joke that you said "Better idea, how about the woman continue to shave their legs like I want them to, and I will do whatever I like?" but lines above you state "If I was in a relationship with a woman and she asked me to shave my chest hair, I would not do it. In that regard, I do not care what women think of it." Again, as Lee pointed out before, you contradict yourself; now repeatedly. You may believe you are chivalrous and you put women on a pedestal, but I believe you stick them on a ladder when you need a lightbulb changed ...
It is fine to like what you like and it is also fine to expect women to be a certain way. Just know that you close doors when you close your mind. Women cannot change men indefinitely and men cannot change women indefinitely. There is a saying ... "you can't teach a bull to dance, if you try you'll wind up with a lot of broken dishes." I don't know the origin, but I know it makes perfect sense.
Or what?
I'm just sayin that it's not a thing most women will fully understand. Just like the 99999999 things men will never understand about women.
your statement is just absurd
if men shave their chest they are a girl by your standards
OMG! You weren't joking! Wow- I'll never understand people like you. Women aren't exactly going to be beating down your door either.
Might as well be, imo. Obviously, they're not really girls duke, that would just be silly.
That's fine, man, people disagree all the time. No need for insults, though.

I love my men hairy--especially younger guys who are hairy, which is hard to find (think Paul Rudd...roof!) I wish I could grow more body hair...I only have little scruffs here and there, although more grows each year on my abdomen and chest even though I am way past puberty..or at least I thought (26).
Keep digging that hole...What a stupid thing to say.
It's all quite fun to read.
Oh and I'm not politically correct, OP. Not if you've read my posts here over the years.
A lot of guys look really hot with chest hair. I for one prefer a guy to have at least some chest hair. However, if he is just naturally not a hairy person, I'm not gonna think he's less attractive or anything.
Case and point:
OMFG Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'm a gay guy, btw.
I, for one think the whole "metrosexuality" thing has gotten a lil bit out of hand.

I'm the same way - the less hair below the neck, the better.
If she asked it of me, I'd do it, too.
I suppose women and men can shave or not shave whatever they want. It's their choice.
But in the end, it will affect others' perceptions of you. Men will likely avoid any woman who is walking around in shorts with leg hair. It's true. I can imagine few men who would pick her over the next girl without it.
Likewise, I imagine few women who, looking at two roughly equally-looking men, would choose the one with scraggily hair poking out here and there.
People have been conditioned to think that looking "polished" is normal. It isn't natural, that's for sure. It takes a lot of effort to shave here, shave there, pluck here, wax there. But that's where society is moving now in many countries. Not all, however.
So, people can stand tall and claim, "I don't have to shave [whatever]! It's none of your business and I don't care what you think!" But in the end, they will probably shave what they need to to look good to the people around them, especially if they are not married and one day hope to be.

I'm gay, and thankfully, not hairy
On my men I think a bit of hair is quite sexy, but so is clean shaven/naturally smooth.
If you can't see a nipple or it's getting caught in her teeth if she kisses your chest - shave man, shave!

Straight female here, sorry to break up your boy party
At first, the look of chest hair I wasn't a fan of it, but my guy has a lot of chest hair and i've grown to love it, its actually nice to play with.
On the other hand, if its sticking out of your polo then you need to control it. Same with eyebrows, if you don't control them then they will be out of control and bushy. But thats just my opinion, I wouldn't NOT date someone just because they were a bit hairier then normal because then thats just shallow and I would hate to become that kind of person.

Just gotta love some Chris Evans. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.
We love you too, Duke.
BTW- are you dating a lucky lady yet? You're too damn cute to be single.But is that only so you can look up their skirts?
Haha I might come off as that kind of guy, but I've gotten in a few fist fights over things like that in the past.
Spot on.
I really don't know what you're arguing here. I'm stating that I do NOT care what women think of chest hair (in the regards I stated above, i.e. when it is on me).
Just because I treat women with respect, more so than 99% of men out there (which, I know you don't believe), does NOT mean I should do things I do not want to do for them. Like I said, if I was in a relationship with a woman, and she asked me to shave my chest hair, I just flat out would not do it.
What's so difficult to comprehend? Does it make me a bad person? I seriously hope YOU are joking. Maybe I have a little too much confidence and self respect for myself to care what others think, even if it is a serious girlfriend. Sure, if I was doing wrong (drugs, bad morals, etc.) and a significant other called me out on it, and I didn't take their advice, that would be stupid. But just because one person wants something in a relationship, doesn't mean the other has to succumb. You will learn.
My wife loves my chest hair. She likes running her fingers through it. But I do agree LeahM, I'm going to take a long hard look if the hair starts to become unruly. I have some Mediterranean in me it seems so I am not looking towards the future. I am 31 and starting to sprout in places I would rather not. I know TMI, sorry.
