men and B.H.*

* B.H. stands for body hair, i just couldn't bring myself to use that in a headline.

now, i know this is an absolutely disguisting topic...well, for most of us (i know some of y'all are freaky and like a hairy man), but i feel this is a topic that must be addressed. since mo is so nicely distributing proper dressing do's and don'ts, i feel it's about time this issue also is discussed.

i for one, think it's a matter of hygeine to keep yourself, shall i say, properly groomed. everyone gets lazy now and then...but not outta control. there's a plain lack of awareness and in my mind, respect for others, when you start walking around looking like big foot. so as a refresher, here are some body parts that should NOT, i repeat...should NOT have hair:

1) ears (this includes inside and on the earlobe)
2) sticking OUT of your nose (uh...that's why they make those little trimmer do-hickies)
3) back (now, i know it's hard to see sometimes, but that's what mirrors are for)
4) in between your brows (and i'm talking excessive hair between your brows where it looks like you literally have 1 -- this does not, by any means, endorse over tweezing so you look like this guy:


there are also places that i fully acknowledge have (and should have) hair, but for gods sake, it should be kept under control. these places include, but are not limited to:
1) face (ie: beard, mustache, goatee)
EXAMPLE bad facial hair:


EXAMPLE good facial hair:


2) arms and legs. these can be overlooked unless we can hardly see skin underneath it. i know there's not too much you can do about it - maybe trim if absolutely necessary. cause really, it's not sexy to look like you're wearing fur leg warmers...or those hairy ugg boots pam anderson wears.
3) chest. again, everything in moderation. if you look like you're wearing a t-shirt when you're shirtless - you might consider doing something about it...just a suggestion.
4) down under. you should know what i mean. just make sure we don't have to look too far to get to where we're going, if you catch my drift. women aren't prepared for that kind of trek.

i know you boys want to look manly and tough and all that shit, but seriously, it's just not attractive when it's excessive or dirty(again...to most of us). keep it under control, keep it tame and you'll be fine.

Totally agreed. Girls are putting in a lot of work to "maintain our hedges" so guys should be working at it too.

I too, could not agree more! I think it's only fair since men expect us to be near-hairless! Can you imagine if we made a guy do a brazilian bikini wax? He won't survive two seconds.

But D, can I also add armpit hair? I mean, during the summer I see men wearing tank tops or sleeveless shirts and most of the time it's fine, but there are those men who's armpit hair is so long or bushy, it still sticks out even after he puts his arm down! I mean, trim that SH*T! AGGGHHHHH.

OH! btw D, I forgot to add that every time I see JT with the trimmed facial hair, all I can think of now is ...
