their armpit hair?

Seriously,i still have to see an asian guy on TV or in real life that shaved his armpit hair.

You gay or something?

You haven't been looking at enough Asian guys because there are some who do.

OP is probably a girl .... I hope O_O

some guys dont like manscaping? or simply dont care what other people think of their armpit hair? i mean we could go in depth about this and go sherlock on it. or simply ignore this thread and let it die...

I know guys of all races that don't shave their armpits =/

I don't know any guy who shaves their armpits.

My boyfriend doesn't have much armpit hair (2-4 strands LOL). It looks like he shaves though,

Is it really necessary to shave armpit hair? Is it?!?? I mean...you're covered 90% of the time, unless you go to the beach every single day of your life.

Asians on TV do not represent the other 8-900 million asian males in the world.

The U.S. Population total is over 300 million.

Shaving is fun !! I hate hair. T
here you go - I contradict your all encompassing - statement that asian males do not shave.

* I do shave^^ does that make you feel better?


pss. why do random people on the internet post questions based on what they have learned from TV? thanks for the amusing post!

Now we can let the thread die

Maybe because they don't have that much hair in their armpit to begin with?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really like guys with totally smooth armpit. I don't want forest under their armpit, but I don't want smooth either. Just the right amount of hair never hurt

Most guys don't shave their armpits

it keeps my armpits warm.

i do shave it tho... like once a month.

I've never seen a guy, or know of a guy who shaves their arm pits and is not a swimmer.

it'd be nice if more asian men pluck/wax their pits. >__<
shaving makes the hair more thick and longer D: ew. loool.

Shaving that area only takes a minute - a guy could do this daily and not lose any time in his day if shaving was his preference.

I've never witnessed this phenomena of thicker and longer

Basketball players trim it a bit, but that's it

simply put...

we don't have to shave.

O_____O it happens to females.

I didn't know guys shaved their armpit hairs unless they are a swimmer or something....
Well some of girls in Asia don't shave their armpit or leg hair. Difference in culture. XD

1)For Hygienic sake

2)Perhaps because it looks better



In my country here in Europe most of the guys do shave their armpit hair.I remember that there were times(like 7 years ago) that in my country if you were a guy and shaved your armpit hair you were immediately called gay.But by 2009 everything changed.



Oh really?....I guess it's difference in culture after all.

Miyavi shaves his armpit hair, and also a lot of other Visual Kei artists. I also think it looks better on guys, armpit hair is just gross in general >_<..

what kind of man shaves thei pits? lol
their pit hair is like a symbol of manliness
but i guess that varied witihin cultures

Most Asian guys don't shave their armpit hair .__.

haha, this one is funny?? armpit?? why?? )

my boyfriend shaves his armpit hair and i think i would prefer it shaved then unshaved. he works out alot so hes topless or wearing a beader most of the time so i think shaving his armpits is a good choice. lol

Why WOULDN'T they shave? It takes literally 5 minutes or less to shave your armpits. Guys freak out and go all "ewww" if a girl hasn't shaved her armpits, why is it different for guys? Because its "manly" to have armpit hair? Uh, no, it just looks unhygienic and really unattractive, fellas.

It actually only takes 1 minute. 5 minutes for a kid that doesn't know one end of a razor from the other ^^

I have yet to see a 120lb guy try to prove his manliness via armpit hair. Rock those skinny jeans tho!!!

Soompi 4 LIFE!

Because Asians like to keep what God gave them.

i've had flabby, smelly, high-pitch-voiced but hairy friends challenge my masculinity just because i shave my underarms
yet they shave their pubes, somewhere no one but them are ever gonna see for a while because they're losers
pit hair is an eyesore
having disgusting mini cooper under your arm, or just about anywhere on your body, does not equate to masculinity

I don't think most guys shave their armpits. Some do...Cause some men don't like being manly :x Just kidding about the last bit, kind of...

I also don't see how armpit hair is unhygienic???? REALLY? If anything it's MORE hygienic, because it keeps the skin dryer, and dryer armpit hair = less odor producing bacteria.

i just don't get how hair is so gross, lol. It's just hair. It's odd to see it on women, cause it's not common, but I still don't think it's gross....

wow, this thread turn out to be a lot more different than i expected..

maybe i haven't gone out much but it used to go like this: "Ewwww! you shave your armpit? are you gay?"

Clearly not everything,

I don't think the majority of guys have decided to shave their armpits... The removal of back, chest and pubic hair are still rising in popularity. Maybe the armpits will come later. I don't think it's just Asian men... Out of all the guys I though Asians tend to be the least hairy.

And perhaps the hair arm pitted Asian men want to be non-conformist to the shaving armpit trend.


Isn't hair meant to be considered to be "manly", hence, the reason females in magazines, television, pornography are all completely hairless except for their head hair and eyebrows. And if they did have hair anywhere else they'd be called a man or something..

Pol2ns7al2 Shaving of he pubes is a nice gesture for the lady/ladies but you are right about having no hair does not mean a man is not a man.

Hahhah, I think you're right. Many guys actually think it's MANLY to have armpit hair. My brother was so excited when he got his armpit hair lol (he's such luzr xD). I kinda understand why he was so happy because he has NO hair whatsoever.

I don't like it when guys shave, but do trim it.

Um. Guys in GENERAL don't shave their armpit hair. Being Asian has nothing to do with it. O_O;

most guys arent self conscious enough to care.
i trim, but i dont shave.
i dont shave because it leaves sharp hairs which pricks and causes a lot of discomfort.
guys hair grows a lot more aggressively, so if its waxed, it'll only grow back in a matter of days.
why put yourself through all that pain....its not like girls are checking out a guy's armpits all the time. like someone else said, a person is probably covered 90% of the time.

i think its unreasonable to ask for a guy to shave their body hair all the time.
its perhaps reasonable to ask them to trim, though.

Because we, like all heterosexual males, refuse to contribute to the pussification of America.

Some asian guys, like my boyfriend, don't have any ... so they don't shave. Also, most asians aren't very hairy so I guess they don't bother shaving the odd hair or two growing.

It's not just Asian guys, guys in general, specially in the West don't shave their armpits. It's not exactly part of our culture that we expect all guys to shave their armpits (as opposed to women) and doing so (or not doing so for women) is more of an independent choice. Personally as long as it's not a forest there, I don't really care whether or not they shave it.

EDIT: Okay, I see you're from Europe. It's a cultural thing, they do in your culture but North American culture, guys don't generally shave body hair whereas women do. In Asia, it's the same thing. Women in most cultures in Asia (I'm not sure about East Asia because they're increasingly more influenced by western culture) don't tend to shave.

i dont mind if they dont shave.. as Delster said.. its not part of the culture for men to shave their armpit hair.. its choice.. although i do prefer men who at least "trim" their pit hair lol.. as long as its not a jungle all up in there its all good..

they don't shave because they don't wanna.
it looks nasty though

erm, a lot of korean male artists/idols shave.

that's kind of like asking them why they don't shave their legs...
i think it's normal for a guy to have armpit hair - if he didn't have any, i'd find that strange.

Hehe do they really need to? It might be unappealing to you, but they have every right to do as they please :]

guys dont shave their legs?????? ;p

like?

last night i finished shaving everything off.
i shaved off my happy trail, all my pubes, my mustache, my neck, my back, armpits, and thats about it.

i feel a couple years younger now!!

^ Why not just get a Brazilian wax whilst you're at it..

They don't need to. Asian guys are mostly are already generally hairless, or hairless compared to Caucasian counterparts. Heck, I wish I had azn guy body hair. They even have less than girls.

personal preference.
of course some do, but some don't, too.
simple as that.
and generally, in our society, men are not 'expected' to do that, either.

men are expected to do whatever they want ~ expression is a free choice ~ and even if you are in a closed muslim country ~ its not like they strip men to see how they handle their hygene.



Lol, why do you know this?
