Curious to know if any of you work with men who have excessive chest hair and it sticks out of their scrubs...

I do and I just cringe! This guy could make a carpet out of his chest I think. Is it wrong for me to think that he should wear a t-shirt underneath his scrubs to cover that up? I'm not the only person at work who feels this way.

Any input is appreciated...

I recall in the early 70s, the disco days, it was cool to have chest hair. You could even buy patches of hair to attach to your chest! I'm serious. I could barely grow facial hair then. But now that I have more hair on my chest than my head I'm our of style again. Speaking of men shaving or cleaning up body hair, it is called manscaping.

I happen to luuuuuvvvvv a hairy guy! :kiss

It does things to me...especially if the guy is smelling like the original POLO cologne along with the hair poking through his chest. :chuckle It also helps if he's a really nice looking guy. If he is not nice looking, no hair and no cologne job will woo my fantasy thoughts towards him. :rotfl:

Is it? Actually manSCAPING sounds better, kind of like "landscaping" to trim your yard just right. Interesting word though. I had never heard of it until now!

the "queer eye for the stright guy" guys call chest shaving "manscaping"! my wife tells me i need to do more of this, guess it's time to break out the old electric razor!

I would think that the electric razor might pull the hair.

Hairy chest is no problem. Back hair, not really that fond of,but then again no guy would like me to have back hair either?

I like a hairy chest....it's the back hair that gives me the willies. Remember the guy on Big Brother? Looked like he was wearing a sweater!!

Back hair ranks up there with gnarly ear hair for me!!:eek:

I get this message on my MSN Messenger the other day with a website, and my friend saying "hey check it out". It was a picture of a really hairy man, i mean hairy to the point where you couldn't see skin. This pic was emailed to her by some sicko from Yahoo.

It made me think though, wouldn't that much hair make you burn up, kinda acting like a form of natural insulation? Not to mention irritated skin.

That was the hairiest person i had ever seen :eek:

Ear hair, oh yes that drives me crazy :rolleyes:

Especially when the owner of that ear shrub just kinda lets it flourish. Makes you wonder how much of a wax deposit is going on within. Eeeeyeew

Speaking of shrubs, i'd love to know how some ppl with really bushy eyebrows that curl downward and into thier eyes live with that. I've seen some have hairs poking right into their eye, that has to be annoying.
