Women Want Men to Groom Their Body Hair

For all of you women out there who prefer a man who keeps his body and facial hair well-groomed…you are not alone!  Remington Products recently conducted a poll of 435 males about their personal grooming habits and 440 females about what grooming styles they find most attractive.  Men, unless you are naturally hairless, you better invest in some clippers and razors because the survey results showed that the majority of women think that poor grooming is a total turn-off!

Thinking about what to wear on a first date to impress a girl?  I would suggest pairing a clean-shaven face with your well-fitting jeans and collared shirt because women say that grooming is a huge key to making a good first impression.  If you are a man who prefers facial hair, make sure that it is clean and freshly trimmed.

The most important news to share with men were the results that over half of women would also like the man in their life to properly groom his body hair.  A completely bare shaven chest similar to Mario Lopez’s is not a requirement, but using clippers to trim back, chest, and groin hair is a definite request.

The issue of body hair removal and trimming can be a sensitive one in a relationship because it involves possibly changing your grooming habits to fit your significant other’s desires.  Men and women can be easily offended if asked to change an aspect of their appearance, so be thoughtful and sensitive when bringing up the issue.  Everyone has their own personal preference for maintaining their own hair, but if you are in a relationship it is also important to feel comfortable discussing each other’s preferences.  Don’t run out and shave your chest because a survey’s results says that women don’t like chest hair, but do ask questions and engage in conversation about what you prefer about the other person.  It’s not good to make extreme changes in a relationship to satisfy the other person, but it is good to have a balance between continuing with what you think is best and adapting to make someone else happy.  Who knows?  Maybe you will be happier with the way you look and feel!
