Almost half of men admit to trimming or shaving their leg hair – en eyebrow raising admission, even for a generation of spornosexual manscapers.
Male hair trimming that rarely concerns body hair south of the border, unless you’re a professional swimmer or cyclist – but these days average Joes everywhere are taking razors to their hairy pins.
Surveying their Facebook followers, Men’s Health found that while the majority of men are not completely shaving their legs, a surprising 15 per cent are, while a further 33 per cent admitted: “I don’t shave clean, but I do use a trimmer to cut it down”.

It’s a metrosexual medical condition: phagafolliphobia.
I can relate. If I am wearing shorts and shower shoes, the stupid stray cat that hangs out in my garage stares at my feet/ankles as if to say "Dude....what happened to your paws?
Hate to tell you but a lot of women are now demanding that men shave the same parts women shave... I won’t do it but the issue has come up

I'm not gonna say a word, other than I don't think it's women they're trying to pick up.......
It helps them get more in touch with their feminine, snowflake side.
Guys used to shave their legs because they wore silk stockings. Once knee breeches went out of fashion they quit shaving their legs.
Now that a "well turned leg" is back in style so is shaving.

Aren’t men supposed to be hairy?”
Real men are supposed to be hairy! Something that appears to be in short supply among the young adults.
The brainwashed faggots can “manscape” all they want.
Hell will freeze over before I shave anything but my face.
English-type persons.
That explains it then.
Of course the Brits think we’re obsessed with large American breasts.
