I'm proud of my chest hairs!!

What few I have!

This thread has evolved to include hair on other parts of the body. No one, as far as I can read, has mentioned ear hair! Should ear hair be shaved off??? There's some people with some pretty long strands of ear hair growing from either within the ear or from the earlobes themselves. And, many times, those ear hairs are gray!!!

And then there's nose hair!!! They can get long too! (A mustache, by the way, can "hide" long nose hair as they both grow and mingle together!)

Hair! Got to love it!



Cheers!

Ted

P. S. Oh yea. I voted that the tee-shirt need not be required. Honestly? I think it looks dorky when either a man or woman wears a tee-shirt underneath their scrub top. Just my 2 cents worth!

No tee shirt because some of the rooms are HOT. Add the extras for an isolation room and it gets to be unbearable. So it is a choice about which you would rather not see: chest hair or sweat.

Shoot, you beat me too it, because I sho'nuf sweat like piggy. Add another layer of clothes on me and I'll be all the more likely to have sweat spots on the pits and back. Now someone tell me they'd rather see me standing over them holding a syringe with sweaty clothes on than a patch o' hair. I thought so.

Thanks for the mental image, Ted.

My chest is so hairy, another dip and I would have been a gorilla!
My woman loves me for the hairy beast I am (clean shaven face though) and
I truly cannot believe that this has become such an emotive topic!
I'd love to be smooth skinned and super sexy after a light application of oil
but the truth is I am a hairy man and if I was to wax i would have to increase my protein intake by gazillions to make up for the hair regrowth which would be sapping my other necessary bodily functions.
I work with a hairy legged lesbian. Do I complain about it................No! I accept her for what and who she is and focus on our professional relationship, not whether I find her legs "attractive" or not!
Let's get onto a topic that really means something!
Her woman might like to stoke her legs.
MY woman loves to stroke my chest.
Anyone who thinks a show of chest hair from a man (that is not controlled by his work uniform) needs to get a grip on what's important in life!
If you have read the thread does anyone really think that chest hair is like displaying ample cleavage?
In the old days of hospital training of nurses in Oz, the nurses had to wear pantyhose so that their pubic hairs didn't fall onto the workplace floor (causing an infection risk)and their shoes mustn't be glossed in case a man looked at their shoes and saw a reflection of their knickers!
Llookout or I will post a phot of my chest and strike fear into those that hate humanity!

Farkinott, Must you be so graphic!? I really don't care about what your chest hair looks like or if your woman finds it attractive. Or if you work with a lesbian as though you must say that when describing a woman's hairy legs at work, or what her mate thinks about her legs. As far as the conversation of the subject, must every subject be so serious or can the people on this board relax with a silly topic like chest hair?

No thanks. Actually, PLEASE DON'T!!! We'll take your word for it, (and we'll stick with the mental images you've ingrained in our minds ).

Then why even point out she's a lesbian, then?


I'm outta here.

Pardon the pun, but did this topic turn hairy, or are we still poking fun (I thought we were)?
