Poll question: Women OR gay men, would you date a seriously furry man?
What level of furriness are you comfortable with? All over baldness, he takes off his shirt and looks like he's wearing a sweater, or somewhere in between?

1. Some body hair is very sexy...
Chest, belly, "treasure trail"...arms and wrists. That totally smooth male-model thing does nothing for me. There definitely can be too much of a good thing, though. :P

27. I like fur, but isn't there a correlation between fuzzy body
and balding head? No offense to anybody out there who's thinning - some men look really great bald or shaved - but in general I'd rather have a man with head hair than body hair.

31. My man's got head hair and body hair.
I don't know about that correlation.

4. NO!!!!! I have a severe phobia....
I'm sorry to all of you great, liberal, intelligent, hairy men! I hope you find an incredible woman! I, however, just like men with hair on the head and realllllllllllllllllllly don't want hair on the back, sorry.

5. You describe me perfectly
Hair on chest, groin, legs....very cool.
Hair on neck and back...not my thing.

Still, I was always willing to make exceptions....

12. Same here.
I mean, not that *I* have a hairy chest!! LOL! But that describes what I like, too.

Mr. Bouncy does have a patch of hair on his back. Once, when he was in the Army, he got drunk and passed out and his buddies thought it would be funny to shave this patch of really fine thin blond hair on his back. Well, it grew back in thick and dark and coarse and it's gotten worse since.

I just take the trimmers to his back when he's going to be out by a pool or the beach or something! ROFL!

29. What about on the azz

16. Bears are popular...
in some circles. One local bar here is full of them. It's strange to see so many big and hairy guys dancing with each other. I know it's not that strange, but well, I just can't help but find it strange.

18. Yummy.
Are they gay or straight?

Doesn't matter, I'd still visually enjoy the "furries." That's what I call them, affectionately.

I had a boyfriend in college who was rather hairy and because of him, I gained a true appreciation for it. By the time I met my husband I didn't even want to date guys that didn't have a serious carpet on their chest.

20. they are gay, and they go for the he-man lumberjack look.
plaid shirts, big cuffs on their denims, suspenders usually beards and mustaches.
i have to say it's kinda refreshing to see that so close to NY, where there's a little too much grooming going on. LOL!

23. I would never date a guy with lots of hair.
I think it's gross.

Does that make me shallow?

25. Not necessarily.
I guess it's just a matter of preference.

28. I'm a straight man, but I'm curious
What I find is that most women don't seem to mind hair on the chest, groin, forearms, or legs. Of course their are exceptions, but that's generally considered what's acceptable by most women. How about hair on the rear end?

32. My man
doesn't happen to have a hairy butt, but I did date a guy who did when I was in college. He was so damn sexy, I really didn't care. Seriously. It's just not a deal-breaker to me. And if there's me, there's got to be more women who feel the way I do.

Also, I don't mind back hair. I guess it'd be kinda weird if there was big long black thick hair ALL over his back, like a total body fro, but short of that, I don't mind it at all.

:shrug:

I think you'll find a lot of women don't care about hair on the butt as long as.....other stuff is good.
