Not for nothing, but would anyone really hate their friend’s boyfriend just because he had a bunch of chest hair???

Andrew buddy you don’t get chicks. They don’t get to choose whether or not they dislike the guy with chest hair. They simply do. Or maybe don’t. But logic is not even in the picture. The preferences are preprogrammed into them- if they think about what they should do, what’s right or fair, what’s good for them, they go crazy ’cause so much of the time that answer doesn’t match the unreasoned “intuition” to which they’re enslaved. Like for example going crazy really wanting to f*ck your freind’s guy and knowing how wrong it would be. Thank God for the liberating effects of Mojitos which have the power to deliver us all from this delimma. Lauren honey there was a popular song in the ’70’s designed to resolve just this problem: “If you can’t be… with the one you love…Love the one you’re with!” So have a couple of Mojitos, make one of us less-than-perfect hairy chested guys very happy, get yourself some releif. We won’t even mind too much if you close your eyes and slip back into a NSFS moment while you do it, honest.

Andrew, you are a hairy guy, aren’t you?

I am, and as far as I know, none of my ex’s friends ever hated me just because I have body hair…

The only reason I asked the question in the first place is because you didn’t talk about not being attracted to your best friend’s boy, you talked about hating him because “Either that he will be totally ogre-ish with a unibrow or chest hair that just doesn’t end…”

You’re not attracted to your girl’s boy because he’s hairy, that’s one thing. But to hate him because of that? Isn’t that a little much?

Andrew, I get where your coming from. Woman can be cruel to men who have chest hair. Getting back to the post…I have always been the girl who has the “boyfriend” my friends like. It’s hard because my guys are tall, dark and handsome. Friends of mine who are attractive just don’t usually end up with the type of men I do, and they do try to “not like him” or “not flirt so much” but it sucks for me…because it makes me wonder would they do something if he was up for it. Now I trust my guy and my girls, but it’s sad when your girlfriends “flirt” with your guy. So LADIES try to stay away, get your own tall, dark and handsome, stop trying to stare at mine.

Personal attraction is a funny thing. I never gave much thought to overly hairy guys, but the last guy I dated, even his friends doubted he would ever find a girl (they described him as a forest). He was surprised I wasn’t freaked out when we first… you know, but it was incredibly stimulating, and at times, really nice and snuggly.

The only thing that really bothered me was having to get used to his perpetual five o’clock shadow. It really takes a while to get used to that whisker burn! Ouch!

Girls obsess constantly over own imperfections so chances are if she’s really attracted to you, she won’t even notice whatever you seem to be so self-conscious about.

And Lauren, I haven’t been in your fullblown situation before but I do sympathize. Thanks for sharing and I’ll keep your article in mind when those pesky feelings ever arise!
