okay, so when I met my hubby he shaved EVERYTHING. I got him out of that habit except for one-he still shaves his pits! I don't think this makes him un-masculine at all-just odd. But when I look at men with hair, I don't like that any more than ones without. What are your takes on it? He said he shaves bc he stays drier.

That should be a good thing for you! Without the hair to catch all the nasty sweat and bacteria, that means he will smell better! LOL

I'm an older male and to me this is totally weird. When I was young this was never heard of unless you were a bodybuilder. But for your average Joe not a hope in hell. He would have been called a ***** back then. But now with this s.n.a.g. mentality men have to show a feminine side. And to me this is all under the banner of vanity. Yes just like a women for no healthy reason has a boob job, just vanity. And I really don't think that I would trust a person like that. My very own brother use to walk about with a toopee (spelt wrong I thnk sorry) And I don't trust him but these are my views on the matter. I'm a take me as you see me or don't bother and I've been married 27years. The tattman

PS : one more thing I don't believe that maltees and pomarainans and chawowars are dogs either I think that these are rats impersonating dogs.

I think that men being shaven looks odd...buuuuut, I think that really long under arm hair looks kind of gross

I think trimming it is the best thing. My husband has that longest underarm hair but he wouldn't trim it if his life depended on it...ok maybe if that but for no other reason!

It's funny because my husband has almost NO body hair but 4 inch long pit hair...HEEHEE!

he does smell good

I don't think he'll stop or let it grow out a little, but I did share the thoughts on here with him!
I know bikers and swimmers shave too, he used to do so I think to show off his muscles some too-he thinks he looks sexy shaven, but I win that argument. Lucky for me, he isn't hairy anyway!
