You do realize average chicks shave their pits, right? They're not naturally hairless (though media would lead you to think otherwise)


Im rather furry not on hormones. Should answer your question

Typo? Do you mean hairy, or hairless?

I don't think that's terribly hairy, but, then again, my hair's black in my pits so they always look hairy--even when I shave them.

Like insanitylives says, gals generally shave their armpits.

I've got narnia under there right now and I'm pre T

haha sweet!

That really isn't much hair.

My armpit hair is uneven...lots of hair on one side, not much on the other.

i wish i had as much hair on my arm pits as you T_T

I haven't shaved my pits in over 5 years.

i guess that makes sense

And I'm 23...long done with puberty. I might have hairy pits but I'm hairless (compared to most FAAB) most everywhere. No belly hair, no random nipple hair, hardly any leg hair.

Mine are way worse than any of yours! 
They're really long and dark hairs.  To be honest, I don't like it.  I don't want to be a total ape on T.  It's not enough to discourage me, though.  Lots of men don't want to be apes, but have to deal with it... So will I.

Woot, picture thread! haha




I haven't shaved anything in a month or two, but it grows back pretty quickly when I do. I've always been kinda hairy, my arm pits will literally not stop growing so I have to trim them.

Alright guys, don't go overboard here. Big pit hair isn't exactly a good quality in a guy... especially if you're going to wear something with short sleeves, at least cut it down not to hang out.

When I was trying to be a guy, I went without shaving. Period; until I was 18. By contrast, to hold onto my femininity, I got my hair trimmed all of 3 times between 4th grade and 19. Both are examples of overcompensating. Being all rararargh hairy beard doesn't make you masculine, and having long, horrible hair doesn't make you feminine.

Not that FTM really need to worry about growing an amish beard, like I used to have... but just don't feel like you HAVE to be super hairy to be a guy. Not all guys are hairy. And if you date men, not being hairy might be a plus anyway. Same way you do not have to have breasts to be a woman. Do they help? Sure do and man my confidence is better with them, but it's not required. Lots of men are clean cut and not everyone has a shadow. And buff bodybuilders wax off their hair anyway :p

Autumn, I like body hair on myself. Even when I identified as a woman I liked the hair I had. I don't really know how dating men and not being hairy is a plus.

I have no intentions of cutting my pit-hair...I like it.

But i like being hairy.

You are absolutely right Autumn. I agree, man there are bio dudes in my town when I was in high school that didn't have a hair on their whole body it seemed o.o Most of them were kinda in that emo cliche. I'm setting a bad example but I couldn't help myself. I don't think being hairy makes a person more masculine, though I dig guys that are (via that mountain man look) thus potential of experiencing that myself gets me all giddy.

Hehe this is true, hair would hide those fantastical muscles!

Grooming is an aesthetic thing. Unless you work a job with particular requirements, nobody can force you to do anything. I wasn't directing what I said at anyone in particular. However, if as a dude, you decide to make a fashion statement in public of say, a wifebeater with giant pits and scraggle forest on the chest, it paints you in a certain demographic. Same way as if a MTF cakes on a ton of makeup and an age inappropriate miniskirt. You are welcome to portray yourself however you wish, but do so with the knowledge of what it means.

Not all men are hairy. Not all gay men like hairy men. Not all women like hairy men. Not all men let their hairiness flourish, and many do take steps against it. What I am saying as a broad statement on the topic is not to feel like hairiness is a requirement or a definition of masculinity. I sure wish somebody would have impressed on me that my beard would have looked a LOT better maintained, and that my hair would have been healthier and way prettier had I taken it in for trims, too.

Plus, everyone really needs to trim their pubes. Oh my god.

Edit: This is not me railing against body hair. I'm actually hot for James now because armpit hair is actually an important part of arousal - keeps the scent of the body. When clean, it's incredibly erotic to notice the scent of your partner. And his leg hair looks soft and cozy. Don't tell my girlfriend.

I strongly disagree with the statement "everybody needs to trim their pubes."
