no,absolutly not. A tailored suit yes, hair was NO.

(apparently too many kids were given the ken doll and not GI joe)

Ah but you can have no paradise without that distinctly female offering that compells us to act stupid for women in the first place.

[durasell]

You mean the cheerleaders at football games, right?

It's easy to have a "smooth shave" when you don't have steel wool for a beard (like me).

You got that right. I'm one of those twice to three times a week guys. I didn't even shave until I was 25 or so. It's the Indian blood in me, but I ain't complaining. The misses quite enjoys the very smooth face.

Did this person not post from firday evening until Saturday evening?

I will not throw my safety overboard and I will not join our insect nation.

The totally hillarious thing about your post is that Grizzly Adams was about the most leftist, pacifist, vegen, greenie show ever to darken a living room.

Starting in January, 1998 I was "Son of Liberty" (I found FR through Drudge, like a lot of people did when the Lewinsky story broke). I switched in 1999 to "Rand al'Thor", then I got angry at Robert Jordan for dragging his Wheel of Time series out beyond all reason. Since I had been reading P.G. Wodehouse, I switched again to "Mr. Jeeves" in 2001.

I remember you! Wondered where both of the other psuedonyms had gone (they were better posters than you are, though... *grin* j/k). Seriously, though, I've thought about bailing on the screenname, but I'd probably be banned as a troll the first thread I posted on afterwards. RHIP (Rank Hath Its Privileges)...

It is not just a question of modesty (although there is that). Most people simply look better fully clothed. Although there are exceptions, the vast majority of Americans do not have bodies that look good half naked.

They look fine. More likely you've bought the Madison Avenue schtick and think that unnaturally skinny and toned people are what's attractive.

[Melas]

Bah, I'm over 40, I know all about ear hair.

[exile]

I don't get the whole metrosexual thing. All that primping, waxing and moisturizing, sounds like work. I've figured that I've earned every hair on my chest and every grey hair on my head.

Men should wax their backs and hairy arms. But most women like hairy chests, so long as it is well groomed. Bare chests look freakish on Western men.

[Quinotto]

You are a riot :)

Let's add a bit of a clue for the non-locals. Midtown Atlanta has been a mecca for the queer male set since at least the late-70s. Anyone with any knowledge of the city at all, knows that.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Men should wax their backs and hairy arms.

That requires allowing strangers to touch us. We don't even like letting doctors do that. ;)

Joq Day Spa for Men is in Midtown.

[TheForceOfOne]

True, but he had the look.

Probably could have picked a better example.

[lawgirl]

waxing? Gross. Give me a man with a little chest hair.
