Am i always going to be so un-hairy?

Question

Hi. im 18 and im a male.

I have very little armpit hair on my left arm.. but if you look at my right one there is a noticeable diference as to how much there is.
And on my stomach, i only have about 12 pieces of darker hair right under my belly button. i can see a line of tiny little blond hairs going down the middle of my stomach, but those are like the kind on my arm that never grow into anything.

So, im wondering if im always going to not be hairy on these places, and if girls like itttttt.

Hey man, I'll be 59 next month and don't have much more than you are describing. I always told the guys in the locker room that grass won't grow on a playground. Or if you really want to get something started tell them that everybody gets the same amount of hormones, and if they want to use theirs to grow hair it's OK with you.

To answer your question, I did notice a slight increase from 18 to about 23 but I would say you are about finished. Maybe 10% more or so but I doubt you will ever look like a bear or a gorilla.

The only thing I miss is I would love to be able to grow a "respectable beard". I have enough facial hair to require daily shaving but it is patchy and frankly looks ridiculous when I let it grow.

And, as far as the girls go; well, grass won't grow on a playground.

You're probably about your maximum height but most guys go on getting hairy for a few years after 18 -- probably right up to 25 and beyond.

A great many girls have the opposite problem to you -- too much hair in places they'd rather not have it.

All hair other than scalp hair, on both guys and girls comes about in the same way because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The amount of hair, the growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

How about other testosterone-related things? Is your voice high or deep? Are your testicles and penis at least average-sized or are they small?

It's important to recognize that there's a wide range of "normality" when it comes to body and facial hair, from the high testosterone male who's hairy everywhere to the very-low-testosterone female who's got only a few wisps of hair on her armpits and on her labia. But remember that there are also a great many women with moustaches and indeed beards so heavy they shave every day and a great many men with very little or no facial or body hair.

The good news for you is that most women prefer their men non-hairy and consider it a great advantage.

Dude, the hair will grow. When I was 18 I had very little hair. After a few years some grew. Then an ex convinced me to shave my chest and back. Then more grew. Now I have a decent amount of hair, unfortunetely, a little on my back. So maybe try shaving what you have off and it will grow back thicker.

Answer 5

Is this something that other men in your family deal with? You are probably pretty much through with new places where you'll grow hair until you're old and your eyebrows and ear hair goes insane! But that's another story. Just keep in mind, there's always somebody for everyone. Someone who loves you and your unhairiness, don't worry.

Answer 6

well...your only 18, so you still have a lot of growing to do. so you might grow a little more hairy than what you are, but chances are that it won't be a lot of hair growth...but I think there are a lot of women out there that like their men without a lot of hair. some do, some don't.

Answer 7

I'm 35, I have like 3 chest hairs and my armpits have very little hair. You might have hair get darker there or not.

My wife likes that I don't have any chest hair. It depends on the girl if they like chest hair or not. It should not really matter to them anyways.

Answer 8

I've no idea and it doesn't really matter. Some girls like hair, some girls don't. If you know what the girl you are going to fall for is going to like you should get ready, otherwise take life as it comes.

Answer 9

I am absolutely turned off by lots of hair. My fiance has hair growth like Johnny Depp and it's so much sexier! Don't worry most guys shave it off and never admit to it anyway!

Answer 10

you're probably not ever going to be hairy, and lots of girls do like that. It's better than being overly hairy and having to shave or wax all the time.

Answer 11

Don't worry. By the time you're 40 you'll have nothing on your head, but you will be able to make a coat from the hair on your back.
