Most men don't admit this stuff, but we all do it. We have to. We're rather hairy creatures and would all look like grizzly bears if we didn't. First off, I will tell you that, as a man, shaving our faces....sucks. I've never been very good at it, and I often come out of the bathroom looking like Freddie from Nightmare and Elm Street just got a hold of me. I think I've finally managed to find a good balance of what to do, but it's time consuming. I have to shave my face with an electric razor and shave my neck with a regular razor. If I alternate then I either get razor bumps or cut myself...inevitably. As for other hair, men get a little fuzz on the top of their ears we have to take care of, nose hairs ALWAYS need to be trimmed, and if we don't pluck at least some most of us would develop a unibrow, so of course THAT needs to be taken care of.
Chest-wise, that varies. When I first came down to Florida, I didn't realize HOW many men down here actually shaved their chests. Seeing all natural men down here is only done if they come from other areas, such as the NE and such and they're just here on vacation. So, that's what I had started doing and, although nice and clean looking and if I was working out definitely showed muscle tone, it was a pain in the butt AND because I already have really soft, almost effeminate looks about me, didn't exactly help me in the masculinity looking department. So, recently I started letting some grow, and once it reaches a certain length I'm just going to trim it really short, just not shave it. Also, a tiny bit of hair gives me an illusion of being a little darker, which I need because when I shaved my chest and my shirt was off I was, literally, so white I looked like something a female version of Casper would have had a sex dream about. So anyway...then there's the arm pit hair. You know, most women don't know this about men. They think that all men just leave that area alone. We can't. Like the hair on our heads, if we just let that grow it'd be so long we could braid the stuff. So, yes, we ALL cut it or trim it, some so it shows a little, and some really short. I, personally, trim it really short. I find that it cuts down on sweat and, therefore, even though I DO use deoderant/anti-persperant, it helps me go longer without needing to re-apply.
Back hair, I've been lucky enough for me to not have to worry about it most of the time. I may get a little bit of fuzz or a stray hair here and there and end up doing a contortionist thing in the shower in order to reach the area with a razor, but for the most part it seems as though my back area seems relatively hair-free. Whew!
Leg hair I leave alone, but if it gets TOO long I do trim it so it's a little shorter, just not much. Now for what you're really wondering about. The short curlies. LOL. Well, whether women realize this or not, most men nowadays DO trim, and it's less about it being an "in" thing like it seems to be for women than it is the fact that we all have this desire to make our willies look bigger. It's true. Most men nowadays, and I've confirmed this with other female friends who, of course, have seen other men, trim that area, and usually short, which is what I do as well. (NOT shave! Just short. No use resorting to looking like a pre-pubescent, y'know?) The shorter the pubes, the "bigger" our packages look. It's true. LOL. Now every now and then, especially if I don't have anyone special in my life who sees me, I'll let it grow somewhat natural, but after walking by a mirror after a shower a few times if I want to add to my self-confidence level I'll just know I need to trim it short again. LOL
Could you imagine what we'd all look like, overall, if we let ALL of our hair and fingernails and toenails grow and never touch them? Eeks. It's a thought, and not a pretty one. Anyway, this goes to show you that, no, women don't have exclusivity when it comes to hair maintenance. At all.
