It's a matter of personal taste. In Western societies, most men prefer women with less body hair. The attitudes towards hair on the human body also vary between different cultures and times. In some cultures excessive chest hair on men is a symbol of virility and masculinity, other societies display a hairless body as a sign of youthfulness.

In ancient Egypt, people regarded a completely smooth, hairless body as the standard of beauty. An upper class Egyptian woman took great pains to ensure that she did not have a single hair on her body, except for the top of her head (and even this was often replaced with a wig[). The ancient Greeks later adopted this smooth ideal, considering a hairless body to be representative of youth and beauty. This is reflected in Greek female sculptures which do not display any pubic hair. Islam stipulates many tenets with respect to hair, such as the covering of hair by women, the growing of hair by men, and the removal of armpit and pubic hair.

In Western societies it became a public trend during the late twentieth century, particularly for women, to reduce or to remove their body hair. The bikini fashion as well as the sexual imagery in advertising and movies are major reasons for this development. This media trend began in the United States and is becoming ever more popular throughout other Western countries. It is also beginning to gain currency among men, among whom shaving or trimming one's body hair is sometimes jokingly called "manscaping".

I think Body hair is a personal preference. Most people that do not like it believe that it takes away from the overall appearance of the body. This is why you will never see a professional body builder with it. Swimmers don't have it because it creates resistance in the water. And last but not least, it can hinder the sexual experience. There are many reasons to take it all off and many reasons why some people leave it on. As said before it is personal preference.

Girls should NOT have any body hair. That means no hairy arms, legs, etc

For guys, we're allowed to have body hair, unless a girlfriend wants her man waxed(ouch!).
