And not just on female-to-male gender appropriators.
“The metrosexual has left the room!” saysJack Dunn, a male grooming expert with his own salon in Islington. “Guys now coming in for their first waxing treatments tell us that they are under strict instructions from their partners that they can get anything waxed but their chests. As a result, we’re seeing a huge increase of men with hairy chests.” “A few years ago it was common to see clients with shaved or waxed chests, but it seems that men no longer think that removing hairs from their chest is a masculine thing to do. Who knows why? Perhaps it’s because partners prefer the more manly, rugged look?”
I am not sure it is just that hairy chests are back… I think it is more “natural” is back. High maintenance men are a total turn off. A fitness freak who says, “I can’t have a beer and fries because I am on a strict diet” is as much of a turn off as a shaved chest or overly manicured hair and nails.
Nothing wrong with a guy who takes of himself and is in shape. A furry chest goes along great with it too.
Personally, I like them either way. And yes, since I am of Mediterranean extraction, I proudly sport my hairy chest.
The back, on the other hand, gets a semi-monthly wax job.

I really don’t know what to make of this post, but I find it amusing, none the less.
Stood in the middle of the bar during the height of the metrosexual movement in 2006, looked around and said body hair will make a comeback someday. That’s why I never did anything permanent to mine.
Now I get compliments all the time.
In shape and furry is all good, overweight pot bellied bear chubs not so much
These things go in cycles. Like everything else.
I suspect the guy in the picture might be manscaping a little with an electric trimmer — a procedure that I generally object to. Sure, the results may “look more tidy” in a visual sense, but it doesn’t feel as nice as untrimmed hair when you’re rubbing your face against his sweaty, sweaty pecs and licking his nipples.
I think the fellow in the picture is a rugby player. My only complaint is that he’s pulling those shorts in the wrong direction. 😉
I’ve thought this for a long time. There seem to be quite a few who think that no part of the body should be left un-inked. Much like those who want to sport a spiked purple mohawk, there is no subtlety in expression. As Laura Ingraham has said, that great piece of body art won’t look so cool when the soaring eagle eventually looks like a cancerous seagull.
11.It’s gonna suck for a lot of people when tattoos go out of fashion.
Or if they get old enough that the tattoos transform. “What’s that tattoo supposed to be? A vagina”
I remember a guy in college had just this poof ball of chest hair but it came forward 3 inches.
Having given up your man cards when you acquiesced to waxing what God gave you, they will not be reissued.
