Wax on, wax off??

[Tasek]

Inspired by this thread http://www.dance-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=3331&start=28 mentioning (competition) dancers waxing their chest.

So; a two part poll to ascertain the feeling of the DF'ers on the subject.

And ofcourse, any nice stories greatly appreciated.

And i'll kick off to get things started;

I have a fair amount of chest hair, clothing will vary when I go dancing, but sometimes i'll wear a shirt with the top 2, 3 buttons undone, showing a little hair. And I have gotten some direct response on the subject from the opposite gender, so far always in very similar, and very amusing, ways; the girl will point it out and say something along the lines of "Hmm, shouldn't you button up??" whilst, invariably, at the same time copping a feel.
So for now I'll show a little hair from time to time.

[Flat Shoes]

Somewhere between one and two. Hairy chest, but don't flaunt it. Neither do I hide it.

It's just there, and I don't think about it and wether it's showing or not.

When it comes to plucking, waxing and stuff.... it's a waste of time and money (and I think it's a very feminine thing to do). :twisted: :lol:

[pygmalion]

I didn't know men thought about these things voluntarily. :? I thought they waited until after they were in committed relationships, then argued with their girlfriends/wives about it. :twisted: :lol: LOL.

Actually, I always believed it was the opposite. When a guy is single (and possibly desperate) he would be much more tempted to go to extreme measures, and maybe let lifestyle magazines fool him into thinking all girls hate body hair. :lol:

Swimmers have to use dipilatory methods, and I don't recall swimmers having problems with getting dates (in general anyway). ;)

Neither do hairy dancers (if they're good) :lol:

Hairless bodies are nice. Nothing wrong with it. But too me it's all wrong (priority wise) spending a lot of time and money on it, Especially since its nothing wrong with some hairs either.

And just like I think smooth and firm eighteen year old girls are just beautiful :P , but tend to prefer girls/women closer to my own age (I'm thirty one), I think few women mind a hairless chest but still some prefer hairs because it feels more manly and mature in some sense. :lol: It depends a lot of age though.

(Or maybe the girls who told me they prefered hair, just lied to me in order not to hurt me :evil: )

[Tasek]

Ofcourse we think about such things, it's just that we normally don't discuss such matters with girls, after all, wouldn't want someone besides your SO to know about it and think you're some pansy!! We guys have an image to preserve ;)

I don't know... I think I'm bare in the wrong places myself. ;)

Well, sure I enjoy dancing with "young people" as much as I enjoy dancing with "seasoned citizens". But I think I just like dancing in general to not worry about a full body Nair dip. ;)

Hmmm.... I was talking more in general. On the dance floor, the most important thing is to smile, have fun and find that good connection. :D

Of course, getting close to a nice well shaped body is cool too. 8) But, that is actually secondary. (Yes, I mean it!) And anyays, when doing lindy I normally don't do much rubbing up against the girls anyway.

[cocodrilo]

WHAT? Guys really WAX? Gross, bigtime! What's wrong with the hair? I prefer guys with at least SOME hair on their chests!!! In Japan, women ABHOR chest hair on men, and sometimes even force their guys to go in for hair removal, etc(then again, most women here prefer skinny and "pretty" emasculine-looking men.! YUCK!) Show what you were born with, guys! I think hair makes a man look even MORE masculine! :D

[salsachinita]

Funny topic :lol: !

I'd say depends. Just like facial hair, or wearing long hair (on your head, that is :wink: ), hairy chest suits some guys more than others. It's a combination of personal style/personality.

It's also a cultrual thing I guess. The most obvious example, in general, the Western society we live in today would NOT generally consider a woman well-groomed/attractive if she lets her leg/arm-pit hair grow al natruale. Yet in other cultures, the removal of such hair for women is considered un-healthy/barberic :shock: !

Now guys, how many of you actually prefer girls who leave their body hair in their natrual state....?

*Disclaimer: I am merely making a point. I conform to the common practice of body hair removal, just incase any of you get mental pictures :oops: *

[KevinL]

Somewhere between one and two. Hairy chest, but don't flaunt it.

Really? Based on your avatar picture you seem to have a very hairy chest...

[KevinL]

Now guys, how many of you actually prefer girls who leave their body hair in their natrual state....?

Prefer? I almost never notice women with hairy underarms or legs - mostly because all the women around here seem to shave regularly. I do however, prefer the non-leg and non-underarm hair to be au naturale.

Ok, so guys chest hair is open for debate. What about guys with rugs on their neck and backs? How do you feel about that?

[Genesius Redux]

We don't play those weirdo sex games down here in Tennessee.

Buncha dancers. Shoot. :wink:

[Tasek]

For girls i'm used to seeing, and prefer, legs and underarms shaved, though I don't really care if they haven't done so for a few days. For the non-leg/non-underarm I prefer with, though trimmed.

Oh, and my apologies to any tenneseeans i've offended with this topic, living in tennessee is hard enough already ;)

[salsachinita]

:lol: You guys don't miss a beat, do you :wink: .....?

*and all these time we assumed that you guys don't pay any attention :nope: *

[etchuck]

I pay more attention to body odor, but I think I've already scored with visions of men waxing out their chests for one week. ;)

[pygmalion]

*giggle* I'm getting a visual on that, as well, etchuck! :lol: :lol:

Just for the record, guys, millions of women are out there waxing and/or shaving on a daily basis, so what right has any of you to complain about subduing a little chest hair? :lol: :lol: (You get used to the excruciating pain, after a hundred or so waxing sessions. LOL)

*A small dusttrail is all that remains as Tasek runs for the hills*

Then again, besides the face some parts of my body do get shaven/trimmed on a regular basis (i'll spare you all the details), and I'm willing to bet that in most places I have a much higher hair density then you gals, not to mention certain areas that require a very gentle touch indeed.

BTW, if you really want to scare off a guy, forget about carrying mace, a gun, or a taser, pull out one of those eyelash curlers from your purse, guaranteed to make any man run like the wind. :D ;)

[Flat Shoes]

Girls, please please please stop destroying your beautiful eye brows. I hate those thin lines so many of you create. It's true, they're horrible! :cry:

Go ahead, adjust your eyebrows a little by plucking away stray hears, but please leave more then just a thin line. Please ..... For me :cry:

[ShyDancer]

I have to say I prefer a hairless chest and back on men. I find it really sexy getting a little peek (Yes women peek down shirts too!) and seeing a smooth chest .
I dont see why you would be afraid of being labeled a pansy though! I love a guy who openly takes care of himself...dont think Id be alone on that either!

I dont pluck my eyebrows into thin strips, I like to notice them when I look in the mirror :lol: :lol: besides I have long thick eyelashes and it would look strange with thin eyebrows!

[Adwiz]

Maybe it's my background as a cyclist. Maybe it's because I spend enough time in the gym that I see lots of guys without hair, but I've gotten to think guys -- athletes and dancers -- look better without the hair, even on the legs (even though the legs don't show on male dancers).

I don't go overboard on it. In the winter I let it grow but in the summer months I like to be hairless on my chest, back and legs. In my view, a muscular body looks better without hair. My wife thinks so too. I'm not built like one of those bodybuilder types, but I'm pretty lean and sinewy and I just think my body looks better when I shave/wax/whatever. But I suppose different women have different tastes, so I'm aware that some would disagree. I just want to impress my wife, anyway.

[cocodrilo]

Wow! This site is getting kinky!
I shave my legs just because it feels better and stockings don't get caught on stubble! Don't care for that "Parisian look" with bushy pits, either.

As for eyebrows, I had electrolysis so I don't have to worry about plucking hair. I don't like the idea of eyebrow pencil, either. What a hassle! Is the current trend in western countries for super-thin, sppoky-looking eyebrows, or is just in Asia? Over here, women practically shave them off and then draw them on. (Which is the reason Japanese girls don't like camping! No make-up?! Omigawd!!!!) :lol:

It seems to me that the more the girls spend time on their appearance, the higher the probability of destroyed eyebrows.

I say that because this thin eyebrows often go with girls who style them selves in a lot of other ways too, like fancy clothes, lots of make-up etc.

I'm a man who likes the natural look over the make-up look, and ... think about this girls ... I really prefer my woman to spend an extra half an hour in bed with me, rather than in front of the mirror each morning! :wink:

[pygmalion]

I know what you mean, Flat Shoes. I like the natural look for brows, so I basically just get rid of stray hairs, as you said.

So this one day, I went to the hair salon, and got my hair done and eyebrows trimmed. Then I got into the car and drove directly to the nail salon, where the stylist took one look at me and said, "You are going to get your brows done too, right?" :shock: Get what done to them? Have them surgically removed? People take things too far, sometimes, I think. :? :lol:

[Tasek]

Just curious adwiz, how do you remove the hair? did you try different methods before settling on your current one?

[Flat Shoes]

.... where the stylist took one look at me and said, "You are going to get your brows done too, right?" :shock:

Hrmph, me not like this 'stylist'! :evil:

I think too many people just do what 'the experts' tell them to do. :?

[squirrel]

hmmm... I think men have the right to choose if they want to shave or not... I don't have a problem with their body hair... and if they prefer to shave it, it is fine too... of course, I wax my legs and armpits... eyebrows, only pluck out the stray hairs... I HATE the thin lines some women call "eyebrows"!!!
and pygmalion, I don't think I'd go to that stylist again!

[Sabor]

as a lady eloquently put it on another board on this subject.. it went something like:

"i like the evidence of testosterone on a man.. but i dont want the missing link either" :lol:

as for ladies.. the only hair i'd like to see is that on their head and eyebrows.. muchas gracias :D

[ShyDancer]

I have what my SO calls "episodes" when I find a hair on me :lol: :lol:
I just cant stand body hair.....any body hair if you get my drift.

[Adwiz]

Just curious adwiz, how do you remove the hair? did you try different methods before settling on your current one?

My skin is pretty sensitive, so when I wax too often it breaks out (you'd think I was 20 years younger!). So I kind of switch from one thing to another. Shaving has to happen so often it's my least favorite (and my wife complains about the "stubble" effect" after a couple of days). So it's either waxing or male sugaring gel, or that wonderful product no guy wants to talk about but that most male cyclists use: Nair.

[pygmalion]

Yup. Good old depilatories are the least painful bet. And these days, there are some formulations out there that aren't too smelly.

Waxing is horrific, and I try to avoid it if at all possible. Even my eyebrows, I either have trimmed by hand with a razor blade (the old fashioned way :shock: ) or threaded (an ancient technique used by Indian and Pakistani women), and neither of those methods hurts at all.

[salsachinita]

Anybody tried epilators...? Those getdget thingies with a few hundred tiny tweezers rotating?

I am allergic to wax & Nair, and simply refused to shave. So apart from real tweezers, I use the closest substitude.

Having said that, I'm not very hairy, so there's usually not that much to do :P !

[pygmalion]

If there's an Indian expatriot community where you are, I highly recommend threading. It's truly threading, done with thread, held tight between the hands of the stylist/practitioner. Effective, cheap, quick and painless. :wink: :D

[MacMoto]

Anybody tried epilators...? Those getdget thingies with a few hundred tiny tweezers rotating?
That's my preferred method. Shaving irritates my skin and so does waxing, so I used to use real tweezers, but an epilator is so much quicker. You don't feel any pain once you are used to it.

Things you learn on DF!
So... it works much like shaving, but using thread instead of a blade?

[pygmalion]

Yup. The thread is held so tight that it removes the hair, in the hands of an experienced professional, of course. It's really cool. :D

[ShyDancer]

Have you tried Nads?? Its awesome stuff, Im never without a tub.... I would be housebound without it :lol: It is twice as expensive as wax but lasts a lot longer. Its all natural so it shouldnt produce any reaction.

As for the epilators.. I used to have en epilady..and well... YEOWCH! It used to pinch my skin, I got rid of it after 3 or 4 uses.

[Sakura]

Swimmers have to use dipilatory methods, and I don't recall swimmers having problems with getting dates (in general anyway). ;)

=^____^= :D :lol: I'm the student trainer for our high school swim team, so I can vouch for all of the shaving that goes on around sectionals and State! :twisted: :lol: It's *great!* Shaved heads (it's sad for some of us girls to see some of the longer locks go... :cry: :wink: ), arms, legs (sooo funny!), some chest hair, and if they *really* want to go the whole nine yards, eyebrows... :? :)

And no, our lovely swimmers, for the most part, have no problems getting dates! =^__^= I'm happy just being on deck though! :twisted: :twisted: Oooh, I'm such a *bad* girl! 8) ...Now if only they did Latin or at least Standard dance.... =^___^= :oops:

Wax is great! It hurts, but the skin is smooth afterwards...

WHAT IS NAIR, BTW?!

Agree on the epilators! yeowch! :shock: :shock:

Nair is a totally painless hair removal cream, you simply apply it, wait 8 minutes then rinse it off with warm water.
Leaves you silky smooth but only for 3-4 days till the regrowth occursm but its great for a quick fix :D

[LauraB]

I used Nair once on my legs, right before my prom. I have sensitive skin, so I bought the sensitive kind, but, man! I got the worst rash ever. It hurt really badly, was all red and gross, and didn't even get rid of all the hair! I had a long dress, but it had a high slit on one side. I just had to wear stockings and hope no one noticed (I did tell my boyfriend what happened). I've tried to wax on my own, but it irritates me, too. I hate shaving, but that's my only option. sigh.

[cocodrilo]

That's NASTY LauraB! Some of those chemicals can be really dangerous!
My Mom gave me a bunch of hair removal stuff from "Wellquest" (like Avon?) but I'm too scared to use it. I guess I'll have to toss it as the expiration date was like last year(just reading the label!)...

I rely on a razor as well *sigh* :?

[pygmalion]

Just make sure you shower first, and all should be well. :wink: :D

[Flat Shoes]

Probably good advice, but some people will always react. If I were you, I'd test new stuff on a small area first.

[squirrel]

but gals, aren't there beauty salons that might help with hair removal?! we have so many here... and they use either hot wax or cool wax... I am allergiv to the latter, so I go for the hot waxing...
shaving is not really an option for me... irritates my skin and grows again so fast! it's just something I resort to on the spur of the moment, when no other options are available...
and the hair removal creams... they don't work for me... do not remove all hair... and most smell pretty badly!

[pygmalion]

Yes, beauty salons do it. It can get expensive quickly, though, depending on what you want to have waxed! And you're right, those hair removal creams stnik! :x

Oh, yeah: since this *is* a forum on ways of hair removal, etc., I figure that I *should* post *on* the topic. So, my view on it is that I hate razors, so I avoid shaving whenever I can.

But, of course, if I'm going somewhere where I'm being forced to where a skirt or a dress instead of pants, I'll shave. *shudders* It's painful though; 'cause it irritates my legs. I've been wanting to try some of that Nair/similar product stuff, but I haven't the money for it! :D :lol: Ah, the woes of being a jobless teenager! *laughs*

Sakura-
Here's a tip to avoid PAINFUL shaving- NEVER SHAVE DRY! I'm amazed to hear some people actually do this! When you're in the shower, do all your washing, shampooing first, and the warm water will get your leg hair soft for shaving, which you do LAST! Also, lather up when you shave. This makes the razor glide OVER you legs, not scraping over them. Unless I do this I get serious irritation as well. Good luck! :D

There's a new pocket-sized epilator(is that what those hair-plucking thingees are called?) out in Japan. TV CMs are claiming it is "painless". When I see the CM next time round, I'll list the name of the device. May be available stateside before you know it.

Yeah.... and you with those huge jaws. I'd be nothing more than a quick mouthful for you. :wink:

:shock: How could you even *think* I'd want to eat something as cute as you?!?! :cry: Besides, what's a nibble between friends now and then?!?!? :twisted: :D


As long as it was gentle, I've never minded a nibble. :lol: :twisted:

:D :D :D :D Nobody ever minds a nibble! :lol: 8) Except when one is hungry after a night of dancing... But then, I'd say it's on to either an Arby's, an Asian store for some Pocky (Go Pocky! :D :D :D ), or someplace where I can get some ice cream at that time of night. =^__^=;;; *sweatdrops* What can I say?? I love food! More specifically, my sweets! Again, I cheer on Pocky and Yan-Yan!

(Note: Pocky="biscuit"{unflavored cookie} sticks dipped in an icing-like flavoring, such as: dark chocolate, strawberry (with little pieces of dried strawberry!), a green-tea type thing, and some are chocolate rolled in almonds... Strawberry and green tea are my favorites! =^__^= Yan-Yan, if any of you remember the "Dunkaroos" from a few years ago, they're like that. If you don't remember them, then Yan-Yan is like pocky, only with shorter, thicker sticks, that you dip into your own icing, thus controlling how much or little you get. The dip for Yan-Yan is much more like icing than the Pocky coating is, but it's all still really, really good!)


Naaaa, I wouldn't eat you! The world's a much better place with you in it rather than in my stomach! And DF would never be the same! :wink: 8)


Ohhh.... you flatter me way too much :oops: (Keep it coming :lol:)

:twisted: :wink: *bows* Of course, O Lord and Master of the Ewoks! (Yaaaay, Star Wars! *waves little flags*) :D =^_~=

Gentlemen - what the bloody heck is going on here! :x :argue:

Where's your pride? :headwall: :doh: :headwall:

I take a little break from DF for a while and the ladies hijack a thread about MANLY chest hair? Ok, its time to take this thread back! :P

Without telling too much, I have a very hairy chest, but I don't show it off much. Typically while dancing I wear a white shirt under my dress shirt, so there's not a lot to see there. A funny side bit though, when I was going through Massage training I was voted "hariest guy in class", and another student recommended a salon that could do waxing for me. I polietly declined, because I also claimed the title of having the best legs (and I think mine were sexier than the ladies as well!), so it wasn't all bad. :lol: 8)

So yes, I am a hairy guy, I've met women who heavily dislike it, and others who it turns on...the latter are the ones that I like to spend time with! ;)

For the ladies, yes I know how much time you all spend on shaving...and I will admit that shaved legs and underarms are very attractive, but if I see some hair there I will not have a fit, the natural look is ok in my book.

That being said, I will share just how much time I spend on my beard! I stayed clean shaven for many years...but now I've been sporting facial hair for the past 6 months or so. I spent lot of time looking at the styles of other guys...purchased a special beard trimmer and spent many hours experimenting to get the right look. And trust me as the DF guys know (well those who get more than peach fuzz that is!), keeping a full beard is way more work than going clean shaven! :roll:

A funny story to share...a while back I was at a Salsa workshop, and one of the teachers there had shaved his underarms (yes he was a man), and I had never seen another guy do this! He had no body hair that I could see on his upper body...and I almost wished I had some fake hair and glue so I could have made him look normal...heh. ;)

So again, I greatly repsect all the work you ladies do for shaving, and perhaps I could be considered akin to the missing link, but I'm hairy, bearded and damn proud of it! Some like it, some don't, but its all good for what floats our boat. :D

And on a final note, I entreat you ladies to examine this picture if you haven't already...for it is of our dear friend Boriken...so please take a look here:

http://www.dance-forums.com/album/showphoto.php?photo=101&password=&sort=1&cat=500&page=1

Now then girls, seeing that hairy chest, and knowing his smooth way with words and dance skills...what lady wouldn't want to dance with him? (hint Boriken, help me take this thread back!) :lol:

Hairily yours,

Go ahead, SG, show us your HAIR! (I personally like guys with hair on the chest!) :D
Borikensalsa looks OK to me! I'd dance with him!
As for mustaches & beards, I think they look GREAT if they suit you.
As for that guy shaving his armpits, YIKES!!! They might've been infested with something, which caused him to do that!
:shock:

[squirrel]

SG, have you posted a picture?! I wanna see one...

And yes, I knew Boriken's picture... attractive man! If he dances half as good as he looks, I am moving to NY!

I for one love hairy guys! And Cocodrilo, I have met guys who shaved their armpits... no problem with that... they also shaved other part of their body, btw :oops: :lol: they told me it made them feel cleaner...

My teacher (male yes) also shaves his underams, probably also shaves other areas of his body, but that I don't know nor do I really care to know. Don't care about his underarms but do wish he would get rid of that awful scrappy little ponytail (and i'm not the only one in class with that opinion).

Gentlemen - what the bloody heck is going on here!

Where's your pride?

hmm, torn up on this, should I unbutton my shirt revealing my manly, hairy chest and take back the thread or just feel proud that the first thread I started on DF is already on it's 7th page, even though it's hijacked :lol:

[Flat Shoes]

I for one love hairy guys! And Cocodrilo, I have met guys who shaved their armpits... no problem with that... they also shaved other part of their body, btw :oops: :lol: they told me it made them feel cleaner...

Personally I prefer a shower and a soap, and then I top it off with some deodorant. :roll:

[squirrel]

I suppose they were shaving while taking a shower (and probably using soap) :P

In most swing types you can use the tripple-step. If it was lively then it was probably not West Coast Swing. WCS is non-bouncy, smooth and have more ballroom-like styling. The you got East Coast Swing or Lindy Hop (if it was in the US). I don't do ECS, but as far as I know the basic steps in ECS is a six count; back-step, tripplestep, tripplestep. While the basic patterns in Lindy is eight-count; back-step, tripplestep, walk-walk, tripplestep.

In Lindy you can use six-count as well, but the basic repertoire is mainly eight-count patterns.

[Flat Shoes]

I suppose they were shaving while taking a shower (and probably using soap) :P

You think :?: :?: :?:

Beacuse my experience is that after showering and correctly applying soap, I both feel and am clean, and there's no need for shaving off anything. :roll: :twisted:

[squirrel]

I tested it ;).
I know there are persons who hate body hair... think it's disgusting... I have no idea why...

[Flat Shoes]

I remember some time ago, Julia Roberts was photgraphed showing hair in her armpits. There was an 'uproar' in the fashion world, lots of models commenting on this, saying it was unhygienic etc. :roll: I say use soap!

But hey, if some guys just likes the feeling of clean shaven armbits ... go ahead sissy boys. It won't bother me. :lol:

[squirrel]

that is GROSS! :shock: I cannot conceive going out when my armpits are unshaven... much less showing it!!! It is completely disgusting...

For men, it's ok... they're supposed to have body hair... but women! That is soooooo gross!

[Flat Shoes]

that is GROSS! :shock: I cannot conceive going out when my armpits are unshaven... much less showing it!!! It is completely disgusting...


To me, Julia Roberts, with ot without hair in her armpits, are neither gross nor disgusting. :P

Neither are most other women I otherwise would feel attracted by. I'ts nicer without, but I have no problem with a little hair. (Of course it depends on the amount.)

Personally I think it has a lot to do with fashion and what's hot and not, it's a socail thing more than anything else. I mean, why else should it be gross? It's not dirty or unhygienic and it's not unnatural in any way.

[Sabor]

to be hairy or not to be hairy?.. that is the question :lol:

You got the painfully right! :evil: However, the complements can keep coming, right my fellow female DFites? :wink: :D

...Speaking of which, I have to shave today so I can wear my really awesome dress tonight! (I'm both angry yet happy about this... 'Cause I *love* my dress, but I *hate* shaving! :D Not that it matters, of course! =^_~=) I have to go to an awards banquet for the top 10 percent of every high school class (*brag, brag* last time I checked, I was 28th out of something close to, if not a little over 500...), but the freshman top 10 have to wait on us! =^__^= :twisted: But I had to do it last year, so I feel vindicated.
