What happened? Why did we abandon body hair?

Never mind.

No, you’re right. (Except that last one.) Whoever convinced guys to shave off their body hair should be punched. Looking like a large 10-year-old is not sexy.

2016: shave your balls but grow a shaggy beard. Nope, nope, and nope.

Some of us are trying our hardest damnit!

30 is the new 13 when it comes to puberty right? Guys?

Some of us don’t have enough to show off, so we made all the hairy dudes conform.

Now it’s your fault that I’m thinking of hairy strongmen.

Body hair has always been an issue for me.

On my twelfth birthday me and my dad went to a local electrical store. At the time I thought I was getting one of those new Sony Walkmans until we walked passed the cabinet that had them on display, walked up to and then passed the cabinet of those mini TVs (you know the ones that took 4xAAs and only lasted half an hour) and then reached the cabinet of electric shavers and told to pick one with the comment of “you mother doesn’t want you wet shaving just yet so pick a shaver.

It was a Panasonic AA powered wet/dry electric shaver.

At school I had to shower with the teachers rather than the pupils as I was picked on heavily for being so hairy. The joke at school when I was 13 was that I was born at the age of 25.

Hell even when I was 15 a group of prospective parents came up to me and asked what class I taught.

Now I’m 36 and I’ve hairy arms, legs, fingers, back, chest, etc... but have a receding hairline.

I worked on Holland where a Bosnian colleague’s beard line came right up to his eyes. If he didn’t shave too far up, after a few days it looked like he had lower eye lashes.

If I could do it again, I would give anything not to go through it again the same way.

That’s even worse. It makes NO sense.

From swimming and a bit from my genes, my body hair is pretty nil. It was a bit embarrassing at the annual final meet shave down.

One thing, it feels fucking great when I shave my body. No denying that...

James May? Is it you? The 25 at 13 comment has me convinced. Not the same thing, but I was tormented in middle school for being chubby, but at the time I couldn’t do anything about it, because it was take my meds and be fat, but breath, or not take them and possibly die. Being a fat asthmatic child wasn’t fun for several reasons. So, I can relate, children or horrible, as they go for the one thing that you are insecure about the most, and never stop.
