What do you think about hairy forearms, guys? Do you: love it, hate it, maybe you feel apathetic or feel ambivalent about it? Is it a turn on or a turn off?
We are asking because we stumbled upon this question on Reddit wherein the original poster (OP) said:
I’m self-conscious about having visibly hairy forearms – do guys care about it?
I feel most guys I come across have hairless (looking) arms and I feel like I kind of stand out with mine, so I was wondering if guys care about that kind of stuff.
One of the respondents called BuckeyeID said, “Hairy forearms promise hairy other parts. Unless you’re prepared to shave/wax everywhere, it’s better your arms advertise to attract those who will appreciate you as you are.” While another guy, whose username is called MyReddit_Handle said, “Love me a hairy forearm! Maybe standing out a bit is a good thing. If I was surrounded by guys and only one had naturally hairy arms I’d know who I would flirt with.”
Meanwhile, moooooowk reminded the OP by saying, “You need to work through these insecurities because this is a non-issue in the real world. Men have hair, it’s not that crazy.” His response was seconded by DisGayDatGay who quipped:
Sure guys care. Are you making this out to be a problem when it isn’t one? Entirely likely.
Look, guys are going to care or not care about a lot of things about you. Hairy arms, glasses, the kind of pants you wear…don’t worry about what everyone else thinks. It’s your body. Be confident in it.
Personally, I love hairy everything on a guy and love when it is visible.
Having said all that, if you prefer smooth arms and yours are hairy and you wish to shave them, this article will show you how to do it safely. They cautioned their readers however, that if you do shave your forearms, may feel the following as a result and we quote, “skin irritation, ingrown hairs, razor burn, elbow nicks, and dry skin.”
Anyway, how do you feel about hairy forearms, guys? Do you find it attractive or not? Comment down below and share with us your thoughts and stories about all things hairy.
Got hairy forearms myself
Nicely trimmed, supremely cleansed, devoid of antiperspirant…a truly fine place to work your Iguana tongue, luscious lips, pit-bull jaws and turbine lungs to their fullest!
Think of it as putting a beautiful face under the arms instead of putting a beautiful face in between the cheeks!
. . . Forearms, Kasper, forearms.
Yes, Yes, Lamar!
I am aware that I committed a Faux Paus!
Hairy forearms are my Kryptonite.
Personally I’ve been pretty much naturally smooth most my life and Love being with a guy with texture or that Hairy Body to feel something different than myself…. Wooof !!!
Hairy forearms? You bet…anytime. For me, a sign of strength and masculinity in a guy, so prefer them. However, no problem with the opposite. Actually I prefer a guy be “who he is”. Trims are fine, as is naturally smooth, but purposely shaving arms? Seriously? Not looking for a gorilla, nor an embryo.
I love manly men as a gay man I don’t like twinks so hairy forearms are definitely nice
i have a hair fetish and love seeing hairy arms, chest, stomach, legs, armpits and especially pubes…
I myself have enough hair growing out my ears.I tend to want to shave things like elbows if there really hairy.I had some hairy shoulders and shaved them too.I think I look a lot better with manscaping and if you feel selfconscious trim or shave them would look so much. Better.I truly feel you feel a lot more positive,doing some maintenance on them.
In recent decades, Progressive Thought made preferences (biases, positive or negative) about individuals taboo and ultimately illegal. Individuals are to be treated equally regardless of skin color, age, sexuality, etc. Innate body characteristics are not to be issues.
Mental Health has recently come to the forefront. Individuals with insecurities, especially about issues at the level of body hair, are to feel no negative bias or shame in seeking professional help.
LOL… DaFuq?
What’d happen if this blog was “FETISH: MEN’S SKIN COLOR”? Skin and hairiness are both innate characteristics. Both can be modified. Yet the social s*** would hit the fan if one of them were a topic. That’s DaFuq.
Honestly, at this point, I think that many do see each other as fetishes as far as skin color, ask my great grandmothers, “creepin” look it up. You’ll see that’s why the vast majority of African Americans are some 22% European in truth. We already know, or I do, that there’s alot white guys hetero and gay with Asian fetishes. The movie with Halle Berry, (Monster’s Ball) “you’re not a real man til you’ve split oak”, “gotta thing for nigger juice,” yeah, you’re on to something there.
Man, I’m quite smooth, period, a decently handsome hairy man does it for me period. If you’re that damn picky about a little thing as hairy arms, you’ve got bigger problems. People in general come with hair, somewhere.
But the amount of hair is the deciding factor. Sometimes, where that hair is (not) located determines a yay/nay opinion.
The deciding factor?
I wouldn’t care if it was on his back even, just love the fuck out of a furry man, they just feel so good against my skin.
I for one don’t care if anyone cares about my very hairy arms, now that I am older I have had young guys go wild with my long brown and silver hairs, plus my long hair on my chest. Even when younger I was never one of those materialistic idiots who tried to make themselves someone who they never were. I had fun, enjoyed the one nights stands and lost my partner over 31 years a few years back. So be urself and enjoy and don’t give a shit about anyone else.
I love smooth guys. Body hair, just like other things, is a turnoff.
I find big hairy forearms to be quite sexy and manly. But to each their own, right?
I hate to dispel a fantasy but hairy arms don’t always foretell a hairy elsewhere. I’ve got blond hair on my forearms. Some of it is over an inch long. But I have no hair on my legs and just fuzz on my stomach. I have a full head of hair that is blonde, light brown and gray mix now a days.Its not something I pay attention to.
Love hairy thick forearms
I love hairy arms cuz that usually means
hairy elsewhere and I love a good bush.
I had very hairy arms in high school. It made me self-conscious because I looked different from the other guys in my class. (Btw, I’m a caucasian guy.) In my late-teens my upper arms and then shoulders became hairy as well. And the hair was brown and grew about an inch long. It’s not that I wanted to be smooth, I just wanted an average amount of hair, an amount that would not draw attention. It really did a number on my self-esteem. I even became depressed. I would wear long sleeve shirts all summer long. I never pursued a… Read more »
Dave…I never had any issues with hair as I was blessed with just the right amount of fuzz spread over my body. However I did have issues with not having the Abercrombie and Fitch body type that I thought was the norm at the time. Until I learned to love myself first, was I comfortable walking solo on a crowded beach or a rush hour gym locker room. Today, I love my body and everything that it is or isn’t. Just know that YOU are already the definition of “perfection”. Flaws and all.
I could care less whether or not forearms are hairy, hairless, etc.. I would be more concerned that the person is natural and not a high maintenence closeted drag queen. That being said, anyone that would have a problem with hairy forearms are not being realistic. Men are Hairy by nature – some really hairy like me and some with little or no hair. I’m not a racist in any sense of the word but my response to anyone who has a problem with hair on a man should seek out an Asian companion. Asian men are naturally smooth. I… Read more »
“Men are Hairy by nature – some really hairy like me and some with little or no hair.”
HOW are men “hairy by nature” when you admit that some (like me) are not & were born this way?
So why all the negativity on here for those of us smooth for smooth guys?
I have minimal hair on my arms. I find men’s hairy forearms very sexy. NO matter what your age is; if you have a furry body you should be proud of it! Plus, many hairy arms promise delightfully hairy armpits! };o)
Manscaped men show that they care about their apperance.
