Shave It or Save It?
Today, we’re going to try something a little bit different. One Manly Monday. Two questions. The first question is for the ladies, the second question is for the fellas. (I’m trying to keep this fair so that everyone can participate.) Ready? Okay, here we go: Ladies, when it comes to the final strands of male pattern baldness, do you prefer your guy to shave it or save it? Is it okay for a guy to hang on to those last few strands for dear life, or should he just man up and shave it all off? Shave it or save it: what’s your preference?
Fellas, the ladies will soon weigh in and tell us what they’d like to see on top of your head. So, now it’s your turn. Migrate south a little bit, and state your preference: when it comes to the land down under, shave it or save it?

Trim it.
Shaving it all off makes me think pre-pubescent. Not sexy. Not good.

Shave it—-I love bald men!!!!

Shave it… or at the very least keep it short. I don’t get the men that have bald spots and long hair. It’s so gross.

Guys – please go bald .. gracefully. These guys who do the comb over and such .. it ain’t cool!! And we girls laugh behind your back.
Girls – I can only speak for myself because I’m not into looking at other .. well .. you know! I like trimmed and kept .. I’m sure the b/f agrees ;o)

Shave…..both… but the hair on my head is preferably longer, because short hair dont fit me.
As for down under……..keep it short/shave…feels fresh, plus I like the girl to have the same style ;)
NO RAINFORREST damnit!!!!!!!!

I swear this was my answer before I read all the other comments and felt like a lemming: shave it or cut it very short.
Do I get to answer the guys’ question also? Wax it. Shaving hurts even more!

Dragonslayer: I’ve tried shaving it completely bald just to see what it would look like. (I was still a virgin, so I wasn’t trying to impress / disgust anyone.) It seemed to take ages to grow back, and it was uncomfortably and itchy the whole time. I scratched myself in public constantly. I wasn’t pretty and it’s not something that I’d ever do again.
Nat: FUNNY! :-)
tonito bandito: I know what you’re saying!!!
Felicia: I love the look and feel of a bald head, too.
ChiGirl: I think it’s a pride thing. Balding men figure a little hair is better than no hair. But, on the other hand, women actually seem to PREFER no hair. Hmmmm … Who knows. It’s still early. Maybe a couple of pro-Caesar women will speak up.
Bexxie: Yeah, combovers and other “Hide the Bald Patch” tricks don’t fool anyone.
Papigiulio: Okay, so, when you say that short hair doesn’t fit you, you bring up a good point: not every hairstyle looks good on every guy. I wonder if there are guys that don’t look good bald?
Pegs: I trim! :-) I’ve used a razor/scissors grooming combo to keep the bush neat. And, on my legs and underarms, I’ve tried depilatories like Nair. I’ve waxed the bikini line once, but I’m afraid to do any more than that because I think that it will hurt like hell.

Scottie Pipen is one of those people who don’t look good bald. I don’t know if you ever followed basketball, in general, or the Bulls, specifically, but he came back one season with a shaved head. He had what could be best described as wrinkles in his scalp.
I call it Arkansas Head. He’s from there. My mom is too and she has a lumpy scalp too.

Ewww, that doesn’t sound attractive at all! :-(

I LOVE bald men! Shaving is much better than trying to hide it.
April 10th, 2007 at 9:31 pm
*TOTALLY* agree!!

It is a woman’s prerogative to neither shave nor trim, as long as nothing shows when she’s at the pool. This is what my spouse does, who has little hair on her outer lips but a nice triangle of hair over her vulva. I appreciate that nearly all women who pose for nudie pictures shave and trim most or all of their pubes off. This is now so common that my resistance to it is fading fast. Even Playmates now shave it all.
I lost all my head hair decades ago, and did not fight it. I do nothing down there, and my spouse has never asked me to.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

I am a guy. I like women who are neatly trimmed; the less the better. For me, I keep it neat and trim down their below too. The g/f likes it better too when she is down there.

Personally, I think it would be much better to chop it all off, because it would send a bolder and self assured image to women.
