2 Thread/Polls on body hair at the same time.....

Sounds like ThunderWolf has some body hair issues, I'm sure there is some kind of support growth for that. He says scratching his beard.

yes.

You guys are funny. MtnMan, I just thought that since I posted a poll on chesthair poking through the v-neck that hey what the heck....let's do something for beards too. At my hosp, some nurses, docs and pharmacists have sprouted the beard look from time to time. Just thought it would be an intersting thread. Also, it was a way for me to bring up the issue of one's maleness as a nurse and to not be ashamed of it and to feel that male nurses don't need to feel forced into being unisexed. At the very least, it did generate some discussion.

Why not, some of the female nurses do. I'M JOKING!:rotfl:

With hormonal changes setting in, that is a very real option. Gonna check myself in the mirror now.:rotfl: Pam

:chuckle If it's ZZ Top style, I think it should be neatly braided and wound around the head during working hours.

It's something I can't quite banish from my head, and I'm reminded every time I go to work (gaaaagggg)

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!

You don't have to wax! Just braid or tie back whatever of it falls outside of the uniform.

As for the beard--if it's neatly trimmed, it's ok.

My big problem is not so much with body hair--it's with fingernails. If your fingernails aren't clean, GO AWAY!
