Why are ass cracks hairy?

:dubious: Then why are some of the hairier asses I’ve seen are on black guys (who I assume get there DNA from Africa which is mostly pretty warm.)

They are in the process of evolving into hairy humans in order to look bigger in front of the hairy lions and tigers. The hair starts in the butt crack and spreads outwards.

That may be true of asking if there’s any advantage to having ass-crack hair, but the the OP’s assumption that the hair there must exist to serve some purpose is purely teleological thinking.

Yeah, I take your point, but asking “why is that like that” isn’t always a bad question. Evolution does do design work, in its own blind way.

I think there’s sometimes a misconception that evolution precludes asking any why questions.

:dubious: :dubious: :dubious: Are you sugesrting black guys need more evolsution??? They can be pretty frighting without fur . I think they are terrifying…although one huge guy I knew I still think was Klingon (well he spoke it).

OK, perhaps others have noticed, but the ads I’m getting at the bottom are

Just thought I’d share… Incidentally, do people want to “find hot hairy guys locally online?”

Sure! I like the boys furry However, apparently, the message to me is ‘get lost’ or ‘get out of town’ since my ads are

As long as everyone is clear on it, I see no harm with phrasing the question “why is [particular biological phenomenon] that way” as shorthand for “what were the evolutionary advantages, if any, that led to the development and/or retention of this characteristic?”

For the same reason we have nose hairs - to keep the bugs from crawling up. ?

Wouldn’t that just give them something to crawl up on on their way in?

Ok now I’ve grossed myself out.

My ads are:

I think that last one is just a blowtorch.

And I don’t see why there should be any confusion about the OP, since “What advantage does it serve…?” is precisely what was asked.

Cite??? I’ve seen more male ass cracks than female but I’ve seen a few, including my own. No hair. Not all guys do but very few woman do. Do you really think we wake up in the morning and shave our asses? Do we shave our chests and our faces every day? We are merly less hirsute then you Y chomosome types.

Why? Hormones. Why? I don’t know.

Others have chimed in on this already, but having discussed various forms of hair removal with my female friends before (shaving or waxing or laser hair removal, oh my!) I can be quite assured of the fact that ass crack hair is not something only men have. I haven’t gone around inspecting female asses pre-hair removal, but considering how often “and then I had to spread my butt cheeks” gets mentioned in a waxing story…yeah, it’s quite common.
