A Womans Thoughts on Male Hair Removal!

As a woman, and working in the profession I do: I am often asked, my thoughts on male hair removal, “who” does it, is it OK or indeed what are the common zones to remove the hair.

I have plenty of male friends who deem men as “men” and for that reason they choose to keep the hair in place on their body so as not to appear effeminate but there are on the other hand more and more men taking up the art of “manscaping” and indeed reaching for the scissors, trimmer or razor.

Hair is one of those things that over the years affects most of us in some way: some want it, some don’t, some trim it, some won’t.

When it comes to male hair removal though and from a consensus of most of my girl friends, there are 5 golden rules to how you want your man to keep on top of his grooming habits, I mean we don’t want them to simply “not care” – but then we still want to be the females in this relationship!

Here are my 5 top tips for male hair removal:

  1. Facial Hair is a plus sign! Women don’t want to date their younger brother who hasn’t quite yet hit puberty, so a man with a little facial stubble is deemed as a good thing.
  2. A man’s back should be smooth! Don’t be under any illusion that a hairy back is an added quirk or indeed we feel comfy snuggling up to it at night in place of our blanket! As a whole we like a man’s back to be smooth and defined, we don’t want that hairy rug to cover up one of a man’s sexiest bits!
  3. Johnson and the twins should get a little trim: this can be hard and some men aren’t sure how much or even how to trim.  Remember that this is your crown jewels and although some men might do it for comfort, another popular reason is to trim the hedge in order to make the house look bigger. Whatever you choose you should do it because you’re comfy: but think of your partner too!
  4. Underarms should be hairy or well trimmed: women shave their underarms, men quite simply should not. Don’t get me wrong: we find it ok should you wish to have a good trim under there – there’s nothing wrong with taking pride! And come the summer months you won’t want to crack out the t-shirt and have a forest trying to escape its boundaries. But underarm grooming should be kept to a minimum.
  5. Legs and arms should be left natural: We appreciate that some professional sports personalities may need to shave these areas, but as a whole, most women accept the fact that men are the hairier of the species and as so we do still want to be reminded of that. Keeping arm and leg hair natural just enforces the Lynx affect as it were!
