Have you seen bare bodied photos of your ancestors? Maybe a photo on the beach or in the backyard of the house during summers? If you have, did you notice the amount of body hair they had, especially in their armpits? It was like an asset for them. In fact, some grandfathers say women at that time liked men with excess body hair. However, in the 21st century, body hair has little relevance.
Women are now interested in men who look clean and chic. That’s why shaving the armpits have also become a necessity. Men usually tend to shave their body hair excluding the hair under the armpits. With the advent of a variety of men’s grooming kits (like a Braun shaver), you can now shave your armpits effortlessly. Manscaped, for one, has come up with specialized trimmers to shave them quickly. But what led to this fascinating transformation over the years? Let’s find out.
The need for equality
Men have always frowned upon women with hair under their armpits. A traditional belief is that women’s armpit hair doesn’t make them look feminine enough. Everyone expects them to be neat and clean with waxed arms and legs and no armpit hair. This belief has existed for centuries, but the tables have now turned on men to get shaved to impress women. Girls too want their man to trim their body hair and shave their armpits. Or some may even start using a hair removal cream. Partial manscaping has become a thing of the past. It is not like you can do away by cutting your chest hair and ignore the armpits. If you want to impress her, make sure you shave everything just like you expect your partner to be.
The distracting odor
There is no denying that armpits emit a disgusting odor after a long day at work or a sweaty gym session. This odor tends to stay for a long time, and that is a big turn off for women. If you want to get intimate with her and she whiffs that odor from your armpits, she may not be ready for the night. No matter how many times you shampoo or use soap or deodorant to keep the smell away, they creep in unknowingly. Plus, it is not always possible to go for a bath before going to bed with her. So, it is better to shave your armpits to avoid the embarrassment of letting her down.
They look bad
Look at your body in front of the mirror and honestly think if the armpit hair looks good or not. 90% of men in the 21st century will say they don’t look good. Growing a beard and a mustache is sexy, but armpit hair is a strict no-no. Women find it repelling. Imagine your partner taking your t-shirt off and finding her nails entangled in that jungle – that’s the last thing you would want at the heat of that moment.
So, if there are giant tuffs of hair under your armpits, shave them as soon as possible. Don’t make them an unnecessary asset that is a natural women repellant in the modern era.
Totally agree it’s a hot look too
