Do you think it is socially acceptable for a guy to shave his armpits?

[Portable Desert]

I honestly dont like the look of hairy pits, it seems jungly and out of order and I just plain dont like it. I am embarassed to start, though, for what other people might think of it.:what:

[nifty]

if u want to then do it

[jack316]

Yes , at my school the popular (jock) guys do and some of them shave their legs too

[DanielJoe]

ehh leave it like it is

[smitty35]

I leave mine, but if you want to, then go ahead, and who gives a crap if its "socially acceptable"! A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do! Look at swimmers, they have to shave.

[kMan137]

Ehhh, that's kinda a girl thing, but do what ever you want, it's your life!

go crawl in a hole. >:/ such... a butt. you're so mean.

i think shaving your armpits will be okay. i know that some guys do it and they shave their legs, too. personally i like armpit hair on guys, but if that's what you'd like to try out then be my guest. :) have fun and if you don't like it, then it can always grow back.

oh, and i'm not sure guys would be looking at your armpits, but if they do you can just ask them why their looking there, or give a reasonable lie. :P

good luck, and be confident with yourself. :D

[Kevwee]

I dont see there being anything wrong with shaving your armpits, if you want to shave them then go ahead. It shouldn't matter what other people say or think. I agree that it looks better to shave armpits since it can look really hairy. :)

About your comment to the guy above you, He said its his life, do want he wants. DId you not get that? He said nothing wrong. It is socially normal for girls to shave the underarms, and guys not too.

that post was meant to be about calling him a girl. it makes people feel bad about themselves or makes them feel really uncomfortable, unsure about who they are. i'm only posted that because i hate being told i'm like a girl, even though it's true and i would rather be more of one than a guy, but oh well. i just think that you shouldn't be making comments like that, and i'm sorry if i hurt anyone in the process of my posting. :/

EDIT:
and i did get that last part.

[AgentXero]

dude i shave my pitts and it feels great, but you shouldnt worry abou what other people think as long as your comfortable

[hollister_]

I think hairy ones look better, but do it! if any one asks, just say because summer if coming and you don't want to be stankk uppp :D
who knows, maybe you'll start something and it would be more "gay" to have hairy armpits instead of shaved ones! ;D

[Portable Desert]

haha, turn the tides?

[Fish813]

I see it as weird, but do whatever you feel comfortable with, its your body after all.

[Donkey]

Why would anyone else care about your armpit hair? :P people will notice less than you think, and probably not at all.

[the wasabi]

it's not bad if you do it, i know a bunch of people that do cuz it looks cleaner and such....
i know sports people do it sometimes, esp. the ones in swim and water polo.....
don't worry about it, if u don't like it, it'll grow back.

[Mikey9444]

i do it

[Bimmerhead]

well when i was a freshman in high school i shaved my legs. i totally brought that fad to my high school and made it ok lol. Armpit hair may be going to far I mean what distinguishes you from a women right? Besides the dick lol.

[Curoz]

If you want to do it do it. I personly wouldn't as I like hair there on guys. But I shave round my nipples, and if I could be bothered I would shave my pubes as well. If a guy wants to shave anywhere on his body I don't have a problem with it.

[colt]

up to u. i trim them

[Santiago22]

Y wouldn't it be. I know that when I get armpit hair I'm deff shaving it off. It's just a matter of preference.

[Kujiro]

I think its a relatively hygenic thing to do, to remove the smell.
But as for social acceptance, i believe is anything that floats your boat.
For a start im sure there is no need to seek permission from others in something as private, so why bother what they think.
Its not as if they are going to look at your pits everytime they see you xD

Go ahead. do what you think is right.

[LKIFMRUG9556]

Well, do you what you feel like... I want more armpit hair tbh :/ :L

[Sebastian Michaelis]

It's ok to shave your pits. Personally, when it comes to mens' armpits, the hairier the better!

[MacMilker]

ew no omg jake dont do it ever lol

[Portable Desert]

I didnt haha xD

[BaNd]

you need to not care what ppl say about you if they are that low and if thats all they do with their lives then they need to get help.

[Electra Heart]

I don't shave but if you want to, feel free

[BeachBoy]

Lots of guys do shave for sports and just to feel clean so dont worry about it.

[Youtubeuser101]

I do it, i don't like body hair on myself

[highschoolboy96]

I shave all my body hair. I can't stand it. I don't give a crap what people think, so it's all cool with me.

[InsanelyApple]

Do whatever. Nobody should care.

Go ahead. do what you think is right.

<offtopic>What were you doing in that picture? Enjoy the breeze? Masturbating? Whatever you were doing you looked like you were really enjoying it, I guess... :what:</offtopic>

[Dark Sparrow]

It's not I a major simple of manly ness, but u will sweat more as ur hairs don't absorb it

[TrevorTime]

I shave or trim mine, it's a sports / swimming thing. And I am not effeminate in any way.

[Dimitri]

I think it is a good thing because the bateria that makes the smell actually form on your hair.

[berry1]

If you want to do it then go ahead but to me its kind of rong:confused:

[alh1994]

Hahaha I do it and I love it!! SO smooth!

[jock]

I have to shave my pits for swim meets and comps.

[twotall]

idk i dont like it i just leave them alone

[Clown Fish]

I personally never would shave my armpits, but I know that a lot of guys do it for swim team.

[chasebrigham]

I totally find shaved armpits better. Especially with big upper arms. And so I tend to shave occasionally.

[dkp123]

i'm 14 and i shave my pits, some guys call me gay but i don't care.. personally i think its horrid, dirty and just ew..

[Blueturtle]

I wouldn't shave my pits because i see no need 2. :)

[mrmooers]

I dot like to shave my armpits but i will occasionally trim

[TheCrownish]

in germamy a lot of teens shave it. dont care about what others say. its your body and you can do what ever you want!

want to shave your pube? do it
want to get skinhead? do it

[qmann8]

i've trimmed them before, but i get what you mean by jungly lol

[PubertyQuestions]

no not realy

[Tobias]

I dont know about shaveing, i think it wouldent be very acceptable. I trim my armpits.

[Nayef]

Here most guys shave it , me too

[leafgreenangel]

i think its okay, my brother does it. i like mine though

[riotroger]

I definitely do, I prefer having shaved pits. But its entirely up to you dude.

[Fruity Drink]

I wouldn't call it normal, but it's not socially unacceptable..l jut a little feminine.

[dgski]

I only do when its super hot. Armpit hair does nothing really but make me smell, and when i have no pit hair, i can get the deoderant right on the skin, so it covers up all the smell. but i rarely shave them anyways, i cant remember the last time i did.
