Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

What is your vote?
Should a male nurse wearing a scrub top and has chest hair be required to wear a T shirt underneath in order to cover up the chest hair?

Many grown guys have at least some chest hair. That's just the way it is. There's nothing wrong about it.

I guess as a society we've made all the women look as prepubescent as we can so now we're starting on the men.

Talking me being baaaaad!

Although I get turned on by SOME chest hair on men, I voted to put the T-shirt on under the scrub simply because it looks more professional in a healthcare setting.

If I were the patient who had a male nurse caring for me with his gorgeous chest hair hanging out, I might forget our patient - nurse relationship.
sorry...haaaaad to go there.

I don't wear t-shirts because I don't like the way they hang down below my sleeves.

I also have a hairy chest and wear my scrubs without a t-shirt. I manuscape and trim the hairs because I don't like the hair hanging out the v-neck, bt it's very clear I have hair on my chest.

I don't think it should be mandated one way or another just because a guy has a hairy chest.

Thunderwolf this is too funny...never woulda thought to do a poll on this. I don't think you should mandate people to wear a T shirt. I think it would be nice...not just because of a hairy back or chest. Many females should to. If I don't my boobs may hang out and I'm not trying to flash so I wear one...but this is about men. I don't think it should be mandatory...but I'm with tweety on the manscaping. No shaving so you look like a little boy but just trimming excessive hair. JMO Peace out yall.
