Guys - how hairy are you?
I don't understand how you can say how bad shaving bodyhair is when you haven't tried it. Like someone said earlier, it's very sensual, it shows off muscle definition and women (and some other men) find it attractive. Bodybuilders do it because it just looks better. I find women compliment my legs very often because they're shaved and ask to feel them. It gives off a jockish image that women like. The hairy macho-man kind of thing wore off years ago.
