Thanks SqrlCub. I’ll have to do some looking. Just fascinating.

I’ve also heard that testosterone improves mathematical ability.
Gee, no wonder I’m lousy at math. 
Give me a hairy man! He doesn’t have to be overwhelmingly hairy, but I’ll take a hairy man over a dude who shaves his chest and legs (yeah yeah, I know, I shave, so why should I have a problem with that?) ;D
By the same token, I love bald men. Bundle of contradictions, aren’t I?
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.

Damn testosterone, anyone know where I can get rid of some of my extra hormones? Hey wait, I’ve got mail…

Huh, I don’t remember ordering any pictures, better check on that…
Hairy!
I actually haven’t had a hairless boyfriend yet, but I think I definitely imprinted on the hairy side from an early age. 
How about hairy chests on women? One woman who used to work at the same place I did had a definitely hairy chest. On some days she’d wear something low-cut and you could see about two dozen black curly hairs. It was pretty freaky. She must have known they were there and had decided to leave them be, but if I ever started to sprout hair on my chest, the nair would be out before you could say, “Robin Williams”!
Prarie Rose–I was born with fuzz on my ears too, and I am blessedly hair-free there now. I believe I lost it after just a few months at most.

2 more votes for us hairy guys! Keep em coming ladies!
(there’s that improved mathematical abilities!)
Well I am hairy BUT have no indication of losing my hair. Actually, its kind of the opposite. I have a mess of really thick hair that grows really fast (to the point that I have to cut it nearly twice a month to have it managble)
I do have a hairy back and butt BUT I nair em and always make sure I got a kissable back. (Ladies…agreed…I cannot stand back hair)
So now that I let this little tidbit about me, I am sure I will have the phone ringing off the hook…anytime now…yes very soon… 
I think the fact that I like hairy men dates to a certain event that happened to me and my friends when we were just discovering boys aren’t icky after all.
Every summer we’d all go swimming at a lake. One year, one of the boys took his shirt off and lo and behold! HAIR! All of us girls were like…“Ohmy! He has hair on his chest!” I dunno…it made him seem more grown-up, and made us girls realize how boys turn into MEN (at age 15? heh!)! And every year after that, if a different boy sprouted hair, he’d make sure we girls knew it 'cause we’d gush all over him. Bear with me…you had to be there.

Sometimes life is so great you just gotta muss up your hair and quack like a duck!
So sorry gentlemen, if I offend, but I must insist on no hair. My beau has exactly 3 chest hairs and I adore them all and keep very close watch on them, lest they multiply. He also possesses a full head of hair though he’s over 50.

OK Hairy NOT OK Hairy
Heads Ears
Chests Back
Faces Noses (inside or out)
Arms Fingers (a little is OK)
Stomachs Bums
Legs Palms
My dad and bro are both pretty hairless, chest-wise (legs an altogether different story…and then there was the time my brother shaved them so that the tape for his soccer shin guards wouldn’t rip all the hair out and it looked like a murder had occurred in the tub…but I digress…) yet I prefer a bit of a rug there. Definitely more fun to snuggle with. So much for wanting what you saw as a child.
There should, however, be a distinction (or at least a gradation) between chest hair and beard.
Let’s try that again.
(It was supposed to be in two columns.
I’ll figure this out some day.)
OK Hairy_______NOT OK Hairy
Heads__________Ears
Chests_________Back
Faces__________Noses (inside or out)
Arms___________Fingers (a little is OK)
Stomachs_______Bums
Legs___________Palms
Hairy Palms? Surely you jest. I’ve seen hairy people but I have NEVER seen a hairy palm. Is that even possible? Seriously?
My vote is for hairy chests. I don’t LOVE back hair but I really don’t find it repellant, either.

My hubby has only maybe a dozen or so hairs on his chest, none on his back, and very little on his arms, but his legs are pretty hairy. Go figure.
That being said, I prefer men with little body hair. Of course, I’ve never been with a guy with lots of chest hair, so maybe I’m biased.

Sensitive around here much, Phil?
We love you just the same, even if you are a hairy old thing.
Seriously, people are really stupid sometimes. Wouldn’t it be neat if we lived in a world where we were all accepted and appreciated as we are and how we stand, in all our infinite variety?
Don’t hold your breath.

My soon-to-be hubby is the hairiest man I have ever met. He usually wears a Van Dyke, but sometimes he goes for the fully bearded look. He is completely covered with beautiful honey-blond hair. I love to run my fingers through it, and I love to smooth it down. The first time I saw him undressed, I have to admit I was a little surprised, but to be fair, he did warn me beforehand. Sometimes I call him Apeman, but mostly I call him Monkey. I like to joke that when he gets old and gray, he will look like a silverback gorilla. There really isn’t anything better than cuddling up to him at night, all nice and fuzzy and warm. sigh

Yes. I jest.
Hell-llooo!
You’re telling me you’ve never heard the OWT about what makes one’s palms hairy?
Me, I was just trying to make even-sized columns, and perhaps a little joke.
Oh well, failed again.
On the subject of hairy palms. Back in San Antonio, a mutual friend of several people I went to in college (no I won’t mention his name) had hairy palms. He had a major bike accident when he was younger and the doctors grafted skin from his underarms onto his palms. He shaves them to keep them down. I really felt sorry for him whence he was in Junior High and High School.
Other than that, I doubt anyone will have hairy palms naturally.
BTW hair on the outside of the nose and the ears is not my cup o’ tea. Everywhere else, as I mentioned earlier is wonderful. Join the Ursine brotherhood.
