I am very happy to have a very hairy chest, shoulders, arms and legs, I don't understand why so many men wish to be not hairy and look like a woman
I doubt it's because of shaving, but in this case why stop, you could simply keep shaving them if the regrowth is so ugly :).
Just because a boy starts having hair on his chest at 14 does not in all cases mean that he will have a massive amount of hairs by the time he is 30. Another boy who has no hair at 14 might start getting hair on his chest at 18 and have a massive amount of hairs on his chest by the time he is 25
Hi, I definitely agree on that, I had to start shaving my face at 13, while a class mate hardly had some fuzzy until 17 and at that point his hair quickly thickened within two years and he had to shave his cheekbones and thick, dark though relatively fine hair all the way up down to his collar bone, while I still have no hair on my cheekbones and my neck hair between the collar bone and my adam apple is very fine and very little chest hair, although I still prefer to shave that zone to look more defined :). Nothing wrong in either case, everyone is different and which hair to take off comes down to personal preferences and same should be true for women.
I meant to say for that boy, not that he's necessarily gonne get very hairy, but that he should decide based on his preferences and if he shaved because he found it ugly or unflattering, he could just keep up if he still doesn't like it or find it even more unflattering.
I realized though that that message was quite old :).

Fully agree with you regarding the different times boys and men start to have facial hair and chest hair. There are a few exceptions to the hair rule but generally speaking men with hairy arms or chest can grow a good beard by the time they are 20.
On beard boards on the Internet a few men say they are hairy but can't grow a decent beard but I do think they in a minority.

It's true, what you say, mine was more about late or early bloomers, so to say, I agreed with the one who said developing most beard and body hair in early teens doesn mean one is gonne keep becoming much hairier, he might or might not. Same a girl who start puberty earlier, like at 12 might develope smaller breasts than one who gets her first period at 16, but by 18 she could have bigger ones than the former, as well as the opposite.
While it's true, how you said that the amound of body hair can correlate with the amount of facial hair. I'm not very hairy indeed on my arms and chest. And front neck hair is quite fine below the adam apple. I prefer shaving my shoulders, tbh, but that's personal preference. Sorry if tmi ^_^

I remember when at school some of the boys told me to trim down the hairs a bit, 'you know where'. I completely ignored them, so left school knowing I was among the hairy guys of this world.. I do a lot of cycling in shorts but having hairy legs did not bother me at all. I only realised that I also had hairy shoulders when someone tried to crop them off with of all things a hedge cutter telling me that the hair on my shoulders was as long as he had seen anyone and as long as the grass we were standing on.
Being on the hairy side if average and having to shave my face twice a day especially if I was socialising in the evening I thought it would be a good idea to grow a beard. I have had it now on and off for 5 years and not shaved at all for over two years, I have trimmed it, usually once a year, it grows half a inch every month, I have had several comments about it being 'epic' it's very thick, 6 inches in length, the side burns not much shorter, the top part of my beard goes to just around 1 and a half inches below my eyes.
All this is about my fairly evenness amount of hairs all over my body which I am very pleased about, the only hair that has been cut is the hair on my head, no where else has 1 mm been cut.
I don't know about you, but before I grew my beard I was very proud about my very hairy shoulders, its not so much the hair extending up from my chest but since I was 14 I have had a very hairy neck, when I was 14/17 years of age my father ordered me to go to the barbers every two, three weeks to get a hair cut, it was the neck that was so thick, not my head hair that needed cut, those thick neck hairs at around when I was 17 started to extend down over my shoulders and that is the reason that my shoulders as well as my neck are so hairy. I eventually got married, my wife did not mind me being hairy the least bit, this was in the days before 'manscaping' she was one of the women in the 1970's who never shaved or cut any hair off her body including 'down below' or her arm pits.
Sorry about the long post, but I had to "get it off my chest" as in thoughts, not hair.

You're welcome. Thanks for sharing your awesome experience! Boils down that we are all different, so all more power to you, it's great that you're proud of your hair and that you even support your wife not shaving, something is fascinating to me as well about women with the confidence of pulling of body hair, especially underarms, if that's what they want. Most probably prefer to shave but I'm sorry so many also feel pressured about it and not really want to.
So by all mean never start shaving unless it's something you want to.
About shoulder hair, like grass you mean, like golf field's "green"? I guess you mean at least 4 - 5 cm or I'm exagerating. , my shoulder hair was probably quite common or below average, before I shaved it off, like below 3 cm and thinner I think, but a bit dark and wiry against my light skin haha.
I admit I've been influenced, like we all are, to an extent, because people with more hair than me had nevertheless shaved hairless shoulders.
Epic beards as cool, a humble advice from me would be to give it some defined shape and to trim it shorter on neck. Don't shave your cheekbones of course if that's not your style. Mine would lose definition if I grew it long, though at least it's not patchy, just not very thick neither fast growing and low on cheeks, which I appreciate as it's less upkeep as I only need to shave my neck every 2 - 3 days before some hint of roughness and shadow, I mean the part above my Adam apple and below my jaw, it's much sparser and finer below it, although I give it a quick swipe to prevent it getting fuzzy and more visible. Everyone is different and there are millions different way to be a man or a woman :).
I was not so excited to get hairy, as at 17 my beard started to extend lower as normal and my neck started to get fuzzy as I was already shaving the rest of my face regularly. I was afraid of having to shave there too, because of the tricky Adam Apple and of hair possibly getting stronger, though I already know it was mostly a myth and that shaving in itself might just make it marginally thicker and rougher than it would be if I didn't and if it did I'd just shave again like the rest of my facial hair. It didn't get as thick as yours of course, it just made it a bit stronger and darker, because I was just not as much hormonally disposed to that :).

Good to hear from you that you also are proud and not the least ashamed of being hairy. I like your description of shoulder hair being like "a golf field green" I am not sure how long the hair on my shoulders is, it's a place on the body which is difficult to measure, I should have got my wife to measure it but sadly she died over 9 years ago, I would be too embarrassed to ask my daughter or her husband to measure it as I never wear that sleeveless vest when I visit them or they visit me, as far as I know non of my men relatives have hairy shoulders, only a few hairs on their chest and unfortunately non have followed me by growing a beard, neither my grandfather, father or any of my 6 uncles on both my moms or dad's side had beards, I am not sure why and how I am so hairy as my father especially was not nearly as hairy as I am, he did have some hairs on his chest but none on his shoulders, "probably" although I am not exactly sure that my hairy genes have come from someone on my mother's side of the family, perhaps her father or grandfather was as hairy as I am and those 'hairy genes' were passed on to me, thanks for that if that was the case. I remember when I was 12 and had no hairs anywhere on my body except head seeing several hairy guys older than me and thinking to myself "I hope I am as hairy as they are when I'm older, " I am and very happy about that, I hope you are are also very happy about your body hair.
Oh, really? I'm very sorry for what happened to your wife, sincerely, I couldn't picture that from your previous messages.
You might measure them yourself, as long as you are able to touch your shoulder with the hand of the same side like though yeah it's a bit tricky. I use the opposite hand to either shoulder to shave them, be it clear and at first it's strange to use my non dominant hand, but I had no problem.
Yeah, despite I shave some areas I'm not really ashamed of the hair I have at all, proud I dunno and while sometimes I even shave my underarms, once a year I let it fully grow back and I like it as much in a different way, but I'm definitely not hairy as I said and seems like most of your relatives also have very little hair on chest and shoulders like me, some even nothing at all on shoulders so it's really genetic and luck. I also have some quite hairier relatives.
After shaving regularly for some years it seemed to me hair got very little longer and uglier when fully grown back on my shoulders this winter, so it's really a myth it has a significant effect and besides stubble that's the extent of it, it's 99% hormones and genetic ^_^.

I never thought it a problem at age 16. I just done it and still do.. It's your body shave if you want to.
I really love my body smooth and clean. It takes me maybe 15 min. to shave my upper body back also. nothing wrong with a man shaving body hair.. I've been doing it for over 20 years and still love it.
I definitely agree with you. We all decide how much hair to keep and what to start shaving and where. If I can ask, you mean 15 mins for your whole body? Do you include say your whole legs and arms toe to hips and wrist to shoulders and undearms? Because most guys who shave never touch their arms. If so great, I hope it doesn’t hurt to take off so much hair time by time and that you are very comfortable :). You mean your back as well? Being lucky not having visible hair on this zone of body it might take even less for me to shave.
What’s your method?
What’s your method?
Yes, I really love my body smooth and clean feeling also. I'm cooler in hot month. I have been doing this since I was 16 I now am 60 years old and still love it. doctor
I too am a chubby man and have man boobs and shave my body
