I kind of agree. Seems more like the well groomed male image that might be attractive to another effeminitie male. I know that sounds kinda homophobic or whatever but I didn't know how else to put it sorry.

However, I saw a spot on tv about a new shaver being marketd to men. It really said to take it all off the way your woman wants to see you all neat and groomed.

I just don't understand why that would be the truth but I guess today it holds true according to marketers, that men need to remove all body hair to be more attractive to women. It started I think with the spread of the male body building movement where pumped up dudes removed their body hair for showing their "cut" in competition and seems to have evolved from there.

I have seen on tv and read interviews in those silly womens magazines where young women talk about hating their guys body hair or prefering men without body hair. Ans of course thinking of giving themselves an added "edge" with attracting a woman go ahead and take it all off. Go figure.

If you take this same figure and add a good body hair tex (there are several from DAZ and here that are real nice) I am pretty sure the figure will take on a more "masculine" look at least how I define masculine. Which to clarify is NOT a guy Perfectly muscled and oiled (conditioned and moisturized?) who doesn't care too much about his detailed nit picky grooming or needing to be perfect and prouldy "put together"  who feels quite comfortable wearing  a scruffy beard, disheveled hair and in cloths not too neatsiepoo or color coordinated.

When I was younger whenever I went to a local bar directly from work covered for instance in saw dust-having worked all day doing carpentry work or disheveled, comfortable enough not caring about how I looked, I was always hit on by some woman who apparently liked what she saw. Whenever I groomed immaculately shaved and combed and dressed to the nines, I guess I seemed to be trying to hard and went home alone!  Go figure.

I love for instance the figures for M4 available at RDNA. The Vicking and old world warrior guys there scream MAAAAAAN! I got a few of them and they just fit comfortably with MY particular disheveled casual and ROUGH and tumble definition of what I have always held my self  image up to as a definition of MAN!

 

My two sense!  ;)
