Ever since I was a pre-teen, I've had hair on my body-and wish I didn't! I've always wished I was one of those individuals that had chronic alopecia(sp?),to the point of not even having eyebrows. Or like my older brother with hardly any chest or ASS HAIR AT ALL! I started shaving or grooming it off as a pre-teen, but not very consistantly. But lately I have taken to keeping my man-bush almost completely gone, and shaving everything between my legs and down under smooth. I hate hair so badly, that I went into barber/beautician school/work to help rid the world of UGLY,CURLY , COURSE BODY PUBS'! The hair on my head is fine as long as I keep it cleancut, but the rest has got to go! This obcession drives my wife crazy, saying 'you're suppose to have hair down there!' but I just can't. Plus, my twig&berries looks like a log&coconuts when it's smooth. I have a nice,muscular athlete's body(5'9"-175lbs)and I am a former boxer/footballer,BUT get no 'love' from my lady about this OR my body-except negative. No compliments-EVER! Others say i have a nice physique,but...I'm sure she thinks it effiminate(gay-ish)looking, but in today's climate-anything goes, right? All you ever hear is that women hate HAIRY backed guys, so...please tell me, is it normal that I like my bodyhair closely groomed up on my chest and nice and cleanly-cropped down low? Ladies please respond, I've got a lifelong 'issue' going here! Please help me put it to rest!

    Mmmm, I loved the clean cut thing.. You feeel waay more. She's probably uncomfortable with the fact that your legs are smoother than hers most of the time, which I understand. Most women hate shaving, it is a nuisance but has to be done! I just wish more men cared about their out of control body hair.

    We all have our things. Each and every one of us. But... it's not normal.

    Its normal that you want to be clean-shaven. Do it if it makes you more comfortable with yourself and tell your wife that as well. When it comes to shaving your pubic area, I think that is completely normal and not something that will look weird, prepubescent, etc, I find it attractive when a guy shaves it. But do whatever will make you comfortable, its your body, do what you would like with it(:

    Keep your eyebrows lol, look up celebrities without eyebrows, we have them for a reason! But other than that do what makes you comfortable, in my opinion, men are suppose to be kinda hairy. The thing is you shouldn't really care of what makes you uncomfortable, it's your body, your hair. You can do whatever you would like to it.

    I shave my armpits because otherwise they itch like crazy, and occasionally "the bush". I dunno about eyebrows, though.

    Dude, I am the same way. I can not handle that amazon bush look. Hair every freaking where down there. And as it grays it looks so dang nasty. I don't keep smooth shaven down there but it is trimmed as close as it can be with a trimmer. I trim my ball sack hair and hair all around my junk. I leave a small patch right above my dick so I still feel like a man.... This might sound ugly but it's your body, your hair and your decision. The wifey needs to respect that.

    I totally agree with you. I have a lot of body hair and I am super jealous of guys who don't grow any.

    It's a pain to shave all of the time.

    Yeah I have hair everywhere too. The only place where it bothers me very much is on my neck so I take care of it. Keeping the pubs trimmed (shaved once and never again) My girlfriend doesn't mind my chest hair and all, before when we first started dating she told me her skin was very sensitive so if it would bother her skin I told her I get rid of all my body hair but it doesn't bother her skin. Wish I didn't have this much but it doesn't bother her so I'm not gonna worry about it.

    Guys with WAY to much hair-kinda gross. Guys with NO hair-kinda gross...lol. I personally like my guy to keep groomed. My fiances chest hair is average & I like it, legs, butt, arms, stomach..thats fine with me. I tell him to leave it alone. He gets very little back hair, sparatic areas up by his neck & down near his pant line in that center area. I shave it for him, haha. Pubes..when a guys shaves bald I just think it looks hilarious (not a turn on) guys anatomy just looks funny bald. I say keep it nicely trimmed up. Those are MY preferences but everyone likes something different.
