he shaves his entire body, aibu to find i feminine?

[lagar]

i recently started seeing someone who shaves his entire body , there is not even a strand of hair on his body, i find it feminine, aibu?

His body, his choice.

How would you react, if he insisted on you being hairy?

If you don’t like it, move on. Like a lot of things, bodily hair seems to really polarise opinion.

YABU to find it "feminine" as PP say.

Women have body hair. It's a very outdated and ridiculous view that women are these smooth skinned hairless creatures.

If you don't like what he does to himself then jog on and find someone else you do find attractive.

Wouldn't bother me, his body, his choice. But equally it is up to you what you are attracted to. I wouldn't necessarily consider it feminine though, a lot of men I know shave or wax now

It would put me right off, I love a manly man who doesn't spend longer preening himself in the bathroom than I do!

its up to you whether you find it attractive or not, but I dont think it makes him feminine to shave any more than a woman that doesnt shave is masculine

Yanbu I wouldn’t like it and would find it a bit feminine yes.

Dh shaved all his pubes off once and it really put me off yanbu

In germany men shave their legs

Yes and all men in France go "oh hee haw" and wear berets and strings of onions

It isn't the fact that he shaves, but that he is over invested in his appearance that would put me off. He sounds rather high maintenance.

I bet he doesn't shave his entire body. How would he reach his back?

His body, it's entirely up to him. Maybe he hates the feeling of body hair?

I live in Germany and most men I see have hair on their legs

It isn't the fact that he shaves, but that he is over invested in his appearance that would put me off

Where does it say that?

You can think whatever you like, it's still his body, his choice though.

My ex did this. Speaking from experience, your DP might be a crossdresser.

There is no should / shouldn't about shaving

... except after reading an MN Classic thread, I hope he never tries to use Veet on his knob & balls

His body, his choice
Your body, your choice

By implication Purple.
I hardly think that someone who doesn't care about their appearance would shave their entire body.

I'm with you OP - I would find that so off putting it would actually be a deal breaker for me. Yuck.

He can do what he wants with his own body.

Equally, you are free to feel the way you do and to not continue with the relationship for whatever reason, including this.

Do I'm a man, and after s 15 year hiatus I've started back at a gym

I've noticed a LOT of young men are hairless, everywhere. It's fine as a but if a surprise that there are more men body and bits shaving than I was aware of.

Even men older than me are hairless.

So I guess all the demands that women be hairless have filtered down to men

Well it's his choice but I wouldn't find it attractive so would make the choice not to date him

I was going to ask if he was a swimmer or a cyclist, but that's been answered. It is his choice, and it does seem to be the fashion.

At least he''s not like the cyclist I once knew, who shaved his legs up to where his cycling shorts were, leaving the top of his thighs unshaved. Like little hairy shorts. :-)

It's not feminine, but you're allowed not to like it.

Personally I prefer hairy men (love a good chest rug ) and I'm in my 20s so I find the lack of nice hairy men my age a bit sad lol. You would be a bit unreasonable to tell him what to do with his body hair though. You can express a preference but don't expect him to act on it.

I don’t know about it being feminine (women are not hairless...) but it’s fine if it’s not your thing.

Would be a complete and utter turn off for me too.
