Sure, a little manly hair on the chest shows your hormones are in the right place, and I think some chest, arm, and leg hair looks better than the bare, competitive-swimmer look (like pube waxing, that’s a little NAMBLA-esque, if you ask me). But it’s not all or nothing. Don’t be afraid to reduce with scissors. I hate this cult of men keeping all the hair that just happens to show up on them, as if God ordained it. Why not trim it to keep it neat, just as you do your head and face? Next thing you know, mullahs will be banning eyebrow grooming. Oh, right, they already did. No, I say groom for moderation and perfection, wherever hair is found.
