Question

ok cyclists shave thier legs right. they do that cause if they get a cut, its easyer to clean up. why do people critisize guys if they shave thier legs? it doesnt mean their gay. it could be that guys want to be clean as well. like they wont sweat or whatever.

who ever reads this tell me what you think.

Answer 1

It's sad to see some of the greatest cyclist (AND swimmers) criticized by people because they shave their legs. They only shave their legs to go faster. Which takes a loooooooooooooooooot of guts. Personally, I think if men shaved their legs at LEAST once a year, they would be easier to clean up. In the shower, their soap bar wouldn't get in their jungles they call "legs". Lol.

Answer 2

As I understand it, most women of the world don't shave their legs. Virtually no men shave their legs unless there is a reason, perceived or real, for doing so.

There seems to be a theoretical correlation in western culture between body hair and cleanliness. Obviously, some people just have a preference for or against it, but culturally, I think we've been duped into thinking that less/no hair is "cleaner" than hair...except on the head. Aside from being an annoyance, perhaps, hair is not unclean. A clean person with body hair is no less clean that a clean person without it.

I don't see any reason to judge anyone for either having or not having body hair - at least from a cleanliness point-of-view. I certainly would not conclude that a person - male or female - is of one sexual orientation or another due to their shaving or not shaving bodily hair.

Anyway, that's what I think about the matter.

Answer 3

It's really just a matter of personal choice, aside from swimmers and cyclists.
I shave. Winter is fine, but I shave my body during the summer just to keep cooler during the hot weather. The hair acts like insulation under clothes, and I sweat more with it.
(and in winter, I appreciate the extra layer. LOL)

Answer 4

I'm gay, but the reason I shave or wax my legs and body, is that many people around me find it much more attractive then my hairy legs, and I also shave my entire body. I have no problem with bikers or swimmers that shave their legs as it gives them a performance edge. And it does not bother me that other men and women shave their legs based on wether they want to or not.

Answer 5

Shaving you legs for a professional reason is a bit different from a personal reason. Guys are suppose to have hairy legs, just like girls are suppose to have smooth legs. It's just a stereotype I guess. And so when they have smooth legs, they are gonna be considered girly or gay. I prefer hairy but not forest hairy on guys legs.

Answer 6

I agree. People shave for different reasons, and it is a fact that shaved legs are cleaner because hair is a heaven for germs. I always trim my armpits, just so I won't have to use as much deodorant, lol (I know, TOO much information!).

Answer 7

Swimmers shave their legs. If a man has a reason, then fine. But shaving them without a good reason is....well.....open for discussion.

Answer 8

They actually shave to make them go faster. If my bloke shaved his legs I would hide his razor. Facial hair or no facial hair, I'm willing to risk it for a bloke to have hairy legs!! xx

Answer 9

They shaver there legs to help them go faster when there cycling,not to clean up blood on there legs.They also shave there heads on some occasions.

Answer 10

I'm 29M and bare chested and get teased by my freinds male and female, in all good fun. I have peach fuzz on my legs and arms.

Hair on a body is a masculine thing. If a guy lacks it, his masculinity is questioned.
