The Bald Chick Thread

I wonder what guys here would think if we turned the scenario around a bit. Let's say you meet a guy who you can tell shaves his legs. Perhaps he wears shorts and you just happen to notice his baby butt calves. Would it influence your opinion of this person in a positive or a negative way? Or would you not care at all?

I'll just be honest and say that for me, a guy shaving his legs would be pretty bad

I have a friend who used to pretty much shave his entire body. He was by no means effeminate. He was a soldier, in fact. But he was also pretty seriously into bodybuilding. He never competed or anything, but for a while he was shaving down to better show off his definition, just like the pros do.

I think that's why I don't read much into a guy shaving his body or leg hair. I was always a fan of Schwarzenegger, Ferrigno and that bunch, and they did it. But even if he isn't a bodybuilder, what does it really matter if a guy doesn't want hair on his body?

Myself, I prefer to have a bald head, and I've been shaving it for so long that I not only find baldness normal and pleasant, but any amount of stubble is decidedly unpleasant. I don't like hair on my head. But I'm hairy everywhere else, and almost never without some kind of a goatee, Van Dyck, chin puff or other beard.

But if a guy wants to shave his legs or his armpits, or every square inch except eyelashes and nose hair, good for him. It doesn't mean anything other than he likes how it looks and feels. And if I want to be an advocate of female head shaving, it would be kind of hypocritical to oppose men shaving their legs if they want to.

I think it was more the fact that it was a group of 15-20 guys walking around after the fact, all VERY tall, quite large, and all with shaved heads rather than the actual baldness

That I can understand. One person with a shaved head could be nothing, but if it's several people, then something is obviously up. And when it's a bunch of big, tough-looking guys, odds are it's either a sports team or a gang of some sort.

I recall when my wife shaved her head, she didn't mind going out in public without a hat, but only when I wore a hat. If I didn't wear one, she put one on. That was because while she wasn't too embarrassed about being bald, she thought the two of us bald together in public would look a little strange. I hadn't thought of that, but it made perfect sense to me.

When she was wearing the buzz, and I was bald, that looked perfectly natural. Both bald together seemed weird - like the family with the matching tshirts taken way too far. In private, it was fantastic though.
