    I dont know what i was worried about :doh:

    I had to show wifey what i'd done because i wanted her to apply the fake tan for me and she absolutely loves it! Minus the few jokes i've had to put up with, shaving your legs enhances your muscle definition and add that to my newly discovered scar on my shin i look well hard :D

    I think this a trend that will catch on so if their is men out there thinking of shaving your legs, go for it. The birds love it :money:

    What about men who wax their chests? All the recent Marvel superhero actors, with the exception of Mark Ruffalo, have had to wax their chests for the part, and I think it's quite odd. I know, for instance, that Charlie Cox is quite hairy, but Daredevil has a silky smooth chest. Same for Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr in the Avengers films.

    Is a smooth chest really the ultimate in masculinity?

    Its not just the smooth chest now roz, men are also gluing their nipples :rotfl:

    Why men feel the need to do that is beyond me!

    The young ''men'' of today are brought up differently...unfortunately.

    They are too feminine. It's part of the reason so many couples split up. As soon as the ''man'' becomes the female in the relationship it's a complete turn off.

    You can't suppress millions of years of evolution.

    I think the most severe disagreement my husband & I have ever had over excessive grooming was when he trimmed his beard into "mutton chops". His "Summer coat". Now, properly maintained, all well & good. Just the growing back into the winter coat was a dashed bristly & less than pleasant experience.

    Which goes squared for the mesdames - as stubble has to be an acquired taste & undergarments can become like velcro - simpler to shove a hedgehog down there & wander round for a few days.

    Sorry, what on earth are glued nipples? I've obviously led a sheltered life.
