Body Hair

My wife digs my chest hair however, when I have her shave my neck she usually goes all the way to my waistline.

I am yet another Austin Powers clone, male RN. Excuse the pun, but alas, what has happened to us? Look at our emasculated society! Men cannot be, well... men, anymore. Consider our current crop of Hollywood heartthrobs: Leonardo Di Caprio, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, et al come across like a clan of prepubescent lesbians! The only actor I can think of who actually looks like a greasy, hairy, he-man, is Alec Baldwin, and he ain't exactly on the A-list anymore! Besides, an hairy chest, back, bum, palms (well, maybe not the latter) are all a matter of genetics, not fashion choice! By the way, I do wear a t-shirt; I even try to coordinate its colour with the monkey suit. Deodorant too, but unscented, naturally, per our "fragrance free workplace" policy! Woe is me. Please, pray for the endangered species known to anthropologists as "macho sapiens".

I'd rather have a hairy man than one who shaves everything. It is really gross to unsuspectingly feel stubble on a guys arm, chest, legs, and ummm anywhere else... LOL

I LOVE hairy chests whether at the beach or at work.

I agree they should be kept clean and neat.

What is the difference in a hairy chest and some nurses that have had breast enlargement and wear skin tight tees???????

Myself, I prefer the hairy ones,LOLOL

After 12 hours, it's conceivable that a nurse could be generating some non-perfumish odors, but a nurse who shows up for work stinking should be removed from the floor and not allowed to return until she/he has had a remedial hygiene course!

its bothers me more to see hairs stuck on pillows when the patients leaves the ER. specially when no delivery on pillow cases sent for laundry. I do the job of taking them out 1 by 1 by an ovum forcep. :eek: irvin

We had a guy on our floor last night who'd just gotten admitted with the hairiest ears on the planet, when the doctor when to look in his ears he couldn't see anything, had to come out and ask the nurse if there was some way to "cut some of that out". I went with the nurse to assist. By the time we were finished, we have two plastic medicine cups full of ear hair.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEEEEEW:eek:

To have a hairy chest or not, that is the question? See photo for a "fair and balanced" response.

You Decide!

Thank you Karen. It is nice to know that some folks don't consider a hairy chest a bad thing.

My son also thanks you for the compliment. As you can see he has a ways to go yet (thank God!) but it is always nice to be complimented.

Hope your day is a good one and thanks again.

I'm not in the medical field YET. But seeing men with hairy chests in public is icky! No offense to those that do have hairy chests...

(never considered hairy chests to be ugly)
