When did body hair removal become a thing?
Believe it or not, we all started different techniques of removing our hair – primarily from our faces, though – in the Stone Age. Our fellow cavemen didn’t really use it to beautify themselves, but more as a survival technique. Later on, Egyptians (both male and female) loved being clean and smooth, and even removing body hair with sugar paste.
The sex that started getting rid of hair on their body in the 20th century was women. Ladies started losing the scraggly forests on their legs, armpits, and groin after the early 1920s. But then, men got into the spotlight with their body hair – and started removing them. Homosexuals started reaching for the dolphin-smooth aesthetic first, but metrosexuals and any other average Joe took that norm and rolled with it. Marketing and launching of so many depilatory products in the 20th century played a significant role, but these days, things have gotten a bit more diverse. Some dudes boast their lumberjack beards but maintain silky smooth and clean armpit, as well as chest. Some go au naturel and only shave their faces. So, what is the deal? What do women like?
A creator from Tools Of Men surveyed about 140 women below the age of 34 and got the results that almost 50% of them found chest hair attractive (source: https://www.toolsofmen.com/what-do-women-think-about-mens-body-hair/). But the hair on one’s chest, armpits, as well as the groin area remains in the gray area – it’s hard to tell what is attractive. Looking like a clean, hairless frog is not what turns on most women. However, having forests and carpets on your body is a turn-off, too.
Moderation is important.
Someone would say, why even bother thinking about what women want? You should be yourself. That is true, but a RadHunk wants to be handsome and to get some. And we respect that. That’s precisely why we got knee-deep into the hair topic. What we could take from our little bit of research is that women don’t mind the hair, but don’t enjoy a hell of a lot of it, wherever it may be. Whether it’s on your chest, balls, or armpits – trim it. The only place where they love hair is your head. Don’t worry, baldies, you will smash, too. And, we know, we are all different – some of us are close to Sasquatches, and some of us are as smooth as a baby’s butt. It’s all in genetics. What we can do is find an attainable standard that we are happy with. And, let’s be honest – if your woman doesn’t like you the way you are comfortable with yourself – then it’s time to find a new one.
So? What’s the verdict?
What do you think about chest and armpit hair, RadPeople? Do you proudly cultivate your rugs or keep the Amazonian rainforest at bay? Let’s have a convo.
