I really can't remember the other women on here, and I woulda posted this on LSA but I don't have enough posts to create a thread. Any other women on here who see this, please respond, and fellas who been through this, give me your two cents, too!

I remember hearing about cats manscaping in my late teens or so, but in my mind's eye I've always associated that with metro, effiminate guys. I'm sure that conditioning came from somewhere, so it was never something I considered; to me, real men didn't shave their genitalia or anything besides head and face...

I dated and slept with alot of women in my 20s and never had a complaint from anyone, so there was also no reason to reconsider manscaping...

I got with my current girlfriend (mother of my two daughters) in late 2015 and haven't been with another woman since. She started commenting on my hairiness in the first year, just in general-->my legs and chest, mostly. I never thought my legs were really hairy, I have definitely seen dudes with hairier legs, and I'd been complimented on how sexy my chest hair was by women in the past, and to be honest, I love my chest hair...

By Year 2 she started talking about my genitalia and that was the first time she asked me if I'd shave down there. She got a hell no...

So I'll be 30 years old this summer, and in this Year 29 of Life I have noticed I've visibly become hairier. shyt is crawling across my back shoulders, down my back, on my ass and asscrack, arms were never that hairy but are getting moreso, stomach, neck hair getting thick, back of my neck, etc. Anywhere I have hair, shyt is getting hairier, and you know she has noticed this shyt too...

Now she has always had a preference for smooth face, smooth chest, shaved dikk shyt, but I just thought it was a preference. Now that I'm getting hairier, the manscaping shyt has come back up...

I'm not a self conscious individual but the shyt on my back and shoulders is bothering me, I can feel the gotdamn shyt lmao. And as I've considered shaving that, I'm considering shaving in the genitalia too, and when I told her this she got so excited I thought she'd have an instant orgasm. But she told me to move at my own pace....

So I want all female opinions specifically, does manscaping matter to you? shyt Is gonna grow back and i don't know that i want to be shaving all the fukking time, especially around my balls. Please tag other women, the more opinions i get the better, and feel free to be specific!

Fellas, any of yall manscape, and what led you to it? I already know yall finna come with Wolfman type jokes lol, it's all good and I'm cool with it. I'm not that hairy, I work with muhfukkas who are visibly hairier, but my girl says I'm turning into the hairiest muhfukka she knows (but again she previously dated pretty cats who either weren't naturally hairy or were already into the shaving shyt). So all opinions and even jokes are valued and welcomed!!

I have no problem with a man that keeps himself maintained and trimmed. In fact, that’s my preference for men. Nothing gay with keeping himself groomed , trimmed up. You shouldn’t feel self conscious about it . The doing too much part is a man spending too much time prepping and primping- that’s feminine too me

I don't require complete hairlessness (which is weird on a grown damn man) but I also don't like getting hair in my mouth. It's distracting. :hhh:

But if you have certain areas you yourself are disgusted by, you could always do laser hair removal. :ld:Sounds scary, but it doesn't hurt.

I don't shave any hair on my body and I'm hairy for a black man. I have a big beard that I keep lined up and I damn sure ain't shaving my pubes, legs, armpit, or anything.

I didn't think I was self conscious about it, I just didn't see it as necessary. But now all this neck and shoulder shyt has me considering it...

Have most men you been with shaved? How did you feel if they didn't? She wants me to chop off my beard and my chest hair (and stomach) too, but I don't think I can drop the beard and chest hair. I love those muhfukkas...

I don't want to do anything medical, and I'm not disgusted by any of it. Concerned or alarmed is a better phrase lol. If I'm getting hairy at not quite 30, how the fukk I'ma look at 40? Its the neck and back shyt that really bothers me...

Did you ever talk your man into grooming his balls? She actually has said the same thing, re:hair in mouth, but she has long hair on her head and sheds that shyt everywhere, so I have told her to knock that shyt off lol...

Bro she asked me to shave my armpits, too. Got a big Hell No. I really think she has a odd fetish for bald men, she liked men bald everywhere except on the head (she likes nice ceasars but she also like afros and braids, like Kaepernick). Bit she denies she has a fetish, but I'm like, what woman likes a man with bald balls, chest, legs, armpits, etc? shyt just seems weird to me...

Yeah bruh I don't shave shyt. When my lady gives me top she gets hair in her mouth and just spits it out and keeps going. It is what it is. If you want to shave then do you but don't do it just for her.

If you're alarmed (now or about the future), I'd suggest laser hair removal. It's not medical, it's cosmetic. You can get it done at a spa. Takes a few sessions depending on density, but it's easier (and less painful) than waxing or shaving. Schedule some couples massages so you can be nice and relaxed when she licks you all over.

I didn't talk him into it, I can't talk him into shyt. :heh: I think he got annoyed at some point, either for his own sake or mine. He occasionally trims, nothing extensive, but it works. He's more hairy than I had dealt with before, so it surprised me like it surprised your girl.

:jbhmm: Do you like her shaved? (legs, pits, goodies)

I'm not a fan of excessive body hair so yes. Plus Jumanji pubes are annoying. You don't have to be bald but trimming is always welcomed.

Just trim it down breh. Shaving your whole body gonna probably lead to ingrown hairs since you really not into body care like that.

You could try laser hair removal too. I did it for like my whole body years ago. It doesn't get rid of all the hair but makes it fine and a lot less dense

I don't even like how "trimming down" sounds, but like i said I'm considering it. And she's offered to help...

I wouldn't say I'm not into body care! Lmao....I just never considered shaving anything besides my face, let's not reach with the accusations hahahahaha...

I appreciate yall's inputs!

No, I think she meant, if you gon be shaving all over, you'd have to exfoliate properly so as not to get ingrown hairs. That's not a level of body care most men are willing to commit to (meanwhile women do it all the time).

Most men never think to do it but it's the same as eating a hairy box. You'd still do it but it would be 100% better if it was less hair to weed through.

Yes, they were shaved by not totally shaved, not hairless - like shaved down their chest hair, and the hair down below is trimmed. Never dated a hairy man before. I'm not the type of woman that likes a lot of hair on the chest area, I prefer that shaved down. Hair in their penis area - that's a necessity for them to trim because I think hair in the private area holds an odor - immediate turn off for me. I like a dude with a nice moustache. A moustache is a must have for dudes- I don't trust a man without a moustache. Hmmm for their beard tho - I leave that up to the individual dude's preference. I don't like overgrown beards tho, and ones that are not neatly maintained. My type is the clean-cut, clean-shaven type of man but still definitely has to have strong masculinity.
