I shaved my legs once and hated it. Never did it again. I used to shave under my armpits too, but I don't anymore. If I have to go swimming or change for PE, I just keep my arms down.

My friend asked me why my leg felt hairy one day while I was swimming with her. My leg had brushed up against her's, and she was like 'Shave your legs!'. She's aware of my 'manliness'  but she doesn't know I'm trans yet because I'm to afraid of what might happen If I confirm her 'jokes' are true. Anyway, I could care less that people think I should shave my legs. But when I finally get my surgery, I think I'll keep my chest not hairy, because that's just creepy to me.

My armpit annoys me, though, cause I don't have enough hair to make it look ok, so it just looks weird. But I guess I don't really care.

I kind of liked shaving. Even jeans felt like silk after a shave, lol.

But I'd get really cold in the winter. I learned what "winter legs" are and why girls don't shave during the holidays!

My armpits aren't like "OMG FOREST OF HAIR" but I don't care, really. Men come in all sorts of shape, sizes, and hairiness. Having more hair doesn't make someone more of a man.

For serious. Apollo's* a hot steaming piece of man sex and he's not covered in a fur vest:



Although he's got a little.
*Jamie Bamber, in case you're wondering.

PS: Any buffer than that and you're too buff.  In my opinion.

That is my dream body. I'd love to be that buff... I'd take it hair and all!

I prefer moderately hairy. That right there seems about what I'd be fine with.

Heheh. Not quite my dream body, but I sure love looking at him, haha. He's got a very interesting face, too, which strangely enough is what usually catches my attention.

Personally, that's a little over the top for me. It takes A LOT of work to get your body to look like that. Working out for hours every day. Would I hate myself if I looked that way? No. But... it's not really a goal of mine, either. Heheh.

He does indeed have an interesting looking face.

Some people like to be, some people like to look and some like both. Which is just fine.

That's definitely my goal in terms of buffness. My arm muscles are already beginning to bloat a little bit and I'm concentrating on getting rid of the gut to make room for the six pack !!

In terms of hair, I said before that I'd like hair on my legs, arms, face, underarms.....I just dont want any on my chest (with the exception of a hairier happy trail!)

But if I looked like that guy, I could learn to like having hair on my chest...if it happened to be in the exact same position as his.

Heheh. I do sit ups every damn day and I can't manage a six pack. I don't know what it is. I hope testosterone will help. I have been told it makes muscle gain a lot easier.

If I looked like Apollo, I'd have so much fun um, impersonating Apollo. Lol. I seriously don't know what else I'd do will looking like him. Lmao.

Yeah, testosterone is a muscle builder. So it should help.

I'd rather have a more prominent happy trail than a hairy chest, too... but we'll see how that goes.

Elwood, you won't get six packs from sit-up unless you're lean and you use weights behind your head
and do less repetitions at a higher weight. Say 15x but very though ones.

If one sit-up is easy, you're not using enough weights.
Every sit-up should demand a good effort.

In my guy phase, I was doing 15x with 50 pounds behind my head on those inclined benches with my legs being held (way way inclined, at least 45% );
that very very hard.

I had the best six pack I've ever seen in anyone :-).

Is body is awesome I would love to be that buff and the body hair is awesome! I have a happy trail and a lot of hair on my stomach and over my lumps so hopefully when they are contemded then I will be complete! Need to shift at least 3 or 4 stone to look like that though! *sighs* Damn Crisps and chocolate! I look like I am carrying a keg!

Need to really get it sorted!

I want to have big arms but because of my wrists I cant lift weights normally and am dieing to find some other way to build them!

I tend to put a weight on my chest... so maybe it's in the wrong spot?

I wouldn't mind looking like that, that's a bit of an understatement. I would love to look like that. What do I need to do the look like that?

Work out. It takes consistency and determination to look like that.

I agree. I don't want to be totally buff, but I do want to at least not have a beer belly like my uncles do. I'd be fine to look like my dad, he's kinda in the middle, not completely buff, but some muscle, and skinny. Although, he does have a good amount of chest hair.... anyway, getting off topic. I'm pretty strong without T, so hopefully with it, some muscles will come so people can see that.

So I'm pre-T (due to start in November, hopefully) and I don't shave alot anyways.

But I got to thinking when I am on T, I'm not going to be shaving my legs and under arms. Do you pre-T guys still bother with shaving? Or even post T guys do you still shave (other then your face ofcourse)?

Old thread, I know.

I generally only shave when I'm going to be running around in shorts or something showing my legs or a tank-top.

It came up so I reply.

Only really shaved/waxed/whatever to please my mom. Once I sort of accepted my male identity, I stopped as a sort of act of rebellion. Since I came out, I don't even have to pretend to care (I don't, so it's cool.)

This one comes up a lot, doesn't it?

If you had my hair growth pattern, you'd shave too. I literally only grow visible adult hair in approximately a five-inch band around the lower half of each calf. It looks...odd. When I get proper male leg hair I'll have to reconsider, but for now, I have to shave so I don't look like a mutant.

Never shaved, why start now?
