Fellow Scandinavian here. As a group, we have lots of body hair, you just can't SEE it! No pigment.
Unless the lighting is JUST right, lol.

Not a fan of man-scaping (except back hair) in general, but I dislike pit hair on anyone.

Evolutionarily, body hair is intended to trap pheromones to attract a mate, so there's that.

So why do women shave it then?

Hubs does a full body defuzzing in the summer. The only reason I don't like it is when I hug him, it feels like I'm getting stuck by needles.
My husband smells like cilantro, hair or no hair. I just love this.

It just feels better without body hair, less musky smelling and less friction with jeans.

I don't get why it turns anyone off.

Another vote for man-scaping. Hair except on head, legs and arms, no. Hairy faces, pits, chests and backs looks awful. It’s worse if the guy is a brunette.

It's just a change in fashion and culture. Used to be the more hair men had on their chests, the sexier they were.It was a sign of virility. I would never dislike a guy just because he chose to stay natural. Just keeping the groin area neat and trimming their armpit hair but not necessarily to shave it off entirely.


Beards to me are just not attractive especially when they look like the men have been out in the bush for 2 weeks away from a wash basin and soap. Beard hair all the way down the neck is just negligence. Growing beards just to avoid shaving?

Not a fan of men shaving/removing their body hair except when it's on their back. I would find it a complete turn off if a man was to be shaven "down there" and it would be a deal breaker (unless of course it was a one time thing for a medical reason). As for armpit hair, I actually like it and find it to be very masculine and sexy.
