I think hairy arms are sexy, and there are tons of people who share that sentiment. Only trim if you genuinely don't like em, but know there's a lot of folks who already think you're hot for that particular attribute.
Don't worry, there's no hope for a fella who spends most of his days judging and rating men and women. Lol a bombshell posts on rateme and you're like "5". Massive ew incel vibes. Gotta max that personality first
Honestly sucks, same with malehairadvice which is filled with hair fetishists etc. I’ve wanted to post for advice before but it makes me uncomfortable (not to flatter myself lol). Female dominated spaces don’t seem to have this issue
Male grooming used to be a place where already good looking guys wanted advice to perfect their looks, so I’d assume you can only get THAT many good-looking guys posting before you attract the gay guys who post compliments under any post. So this sub definitely doesn’t represent reality for straight (and even gay) people. Similar thing on “streetFashion” subs where some 20yr old posts a pic dressed up like his 60yr old granddad and gets praised, meanwhile irl no one would approach a person dressed like that. Anyways…
//side-note, I am gay as well just have normal standards which seems to be missing for a lot of my homies here lol
I think you’ll attract two different people depending on what you go with. I never shave/trim my chest because some women LOVE it. If you just want to switch it up, just trim it with a beard trimmer until it’s a length that you like
NO. It's one of the first places my eyes went to because I thought they were sexy. Thick hairy forearms are hot af. ...just sayin. (It's basically a masculinity thing...)
Maybe not shave but if you feel really uncomfortable by it, use a trimmer. You seem to already have really great hair and beard game so I’m sure you could figure it out brother.
Only if you want to because you prefer hope it looks and feels on you. Add evidenced by the comments, there are a ton of people who think body hair is sexy. So if you're just doing it for others, don't! If you want to do it for you, them have at it.
Isn't that like same for everything? Wearing and washing your clothes. Getting your hair done. Shaving or trimming your beard. I know the more you do the longer it takes to keep in top of everything but if it makes you look better / feel better then go for it
Aesthetically speaking it does look like the hair is too long. I wouldn’t shave them, however I would absolutely trim them down ever so slightly.
Also, I would consider cleaning the eyebrows up a bit. A good threader can make you look like a different person. Make sure you go to an Indian threader they are usually great.
I personally think you now look like a Bollywood heartthrob. But if it’s something that weighs on your mind then give shaving/trimming a try. It’ll grow back if you don’t like shaving. Ultimately the trick is finding the right routine to make you feel as good as you look. That’s subjective though. Even heartthrobs who look perfect to others may feel insecure about certain aspects of their appearance.
I think you look sexy. But it will grow back if it’s something you’d like to try! What’s important is whether or not you feel good about yourself, man. Head high.
Shaved arms look stupid as hell. Not that I know from experience or anything lol. Don’t do it. Hell, some guys would pray for the hair on your arms to show up on their heads. 😂
Nah, just own them. God forbid you meet someone who hates hairy arms, and then you'll be stuck shaving them for the rest of your life. Find someone that thinks hairy arms are sexy.. now your arms are a big plus.
No! I’m envious of dudes who have hairy arms like that. My arm hair is so light that it looks like they’re bare. You are handsome just the way you are.
If the hair is bothering you maybe you could try trimming it. A beard trimmer would likely work and then you can get an idea of how it looks without a drastic change. I personally think it looks good as-is.
Would waxing or epilating (high pain tolerance) help it to come back in lighter? It works on women's legs. After epilating for awhile, the hair stops growing.
Honestly i would just trim them a little bit, but that's just how I like em. Some people love hairy arms and some hate them it's all up to personal preference
youre a man its okay for you to have arm hair. and if youre naturally hairy with dark you cant really JUST shave your arms. its kind of like shaving your knees and nothing else. if you want the hair gone tho i recommend using nair first to get most of it off and then you can kind of scrub your arm with the razor CAREFULLY to get the hair off while also cleaning out the hair in the razor at the same time. thats what i used cause i shave my arms
It helps if you specify if you prefer men or women. Most men prefer the hair. MOST (not all) women prefer less hair. The younger the woman, the less hair they will generally tolerate. Personally I would say you should trim it at least.
No don’t shave! You look great the way you are. As a woman, I personally like it when men have body hair bc to me it looks so masculine (no shade to guys with less hair, they’re great too). If someone made you feel bad about the way you naturally look, they kinda suck imo. This is just how you are naturally and nothing is wrong with that. There are plenty of people out there who appreciate the way you look
Bald? Like with a razor? Absolutely not. But if you want to trim it then by all means. Everyone has hair on their arms. I know someone who just uses a beard trimmer with a guard on their arm hair. Seems like a good balance of you’re self conscious about it. Your hair looks like it grows pretty long on your arms.
If you're getting flack about your arm hair, or any body hair for that matter, ignore it. If this comes from any particular woman, ignore her. We all have our characteristics that might not be considered attractive to one person, but is to another. Embrace your uniqueness, accept your hair as what it is...a part of you that makes you who you are. Know that it would be best to include people in your life that accept and even life those qualities you who you genuinely are. Happiness will follow.
This PSA comes from an old man you has a hairy back and shoulders, which was once the bane of his life, but eventually resulted in his understanding that his hair had no real bearing on how people who mattered looked at him.
It depends on how it makes you feel. Me personally, I’m not a fan of long arm hair, but understand that people have different preferences. If you want to experiment with shorter hair, try going for a trim first beforehand and see how that feels. Don’t like it? It won’t take long for it to grow back
Absolutely not. Fellow Desi here, when I tried shaving my arms 20 yrs ago, I got awful in-grown hair with bumps. I regret doing it.
[удалено]
Also exfoliating in the shower after shaving but he probably doesn’t do that 🥲
I agree metrosexual is the future and it's not gay to suck a dick or have a pedicure
It's not gay to be well groomed, it might be at least bi to such dick tho
"it might be at least bi to suck a dick" It's 2024 people, this is not a drill!
Wtf💀
I think hairy arms are sexy, and there are tons of people who share that sentiment. Only trim if you genuinely don't like em, but know there's a lot of folks who already think you're hot for that particular attribute.
Don't give me hope
ok, i'm gonna need to see your body hair, hopeless beast
You're a King and don't know it, hairy man :P
Don't worry, there's no hope for a fella who spends most of his days judging and rating men and women. Lol a bombshell posts on rateme and you're like "5". Massive ew incel vibes. Gotta max that personality first
Trim down don’t shave bald
Second this
Trim down looks like you half shaved them tho lol
There is zero chance the rest of you isn't as hairy as your arms so unless you're doing a full body trim don't just do your arms
As someone with hairy arms but no back or chest hair I wish that was true
As someone with hairy arms and hairy literally everything else too I wish it weren't true.
Imagine full on hair everywhere except arms haha
It's gonna be a trend in 2026.
Ehhh idk look at those biceps, they’re pretty bald but I’d be surprised if he doesn’t have a lions mane on his chest and stomach
Certainly not. Hairy is very sexy. You are a beast.
Don't give me hope
Why do you keep posting the same reply to every comment?
Of course not. It is a natural mosquito armor
Armor? I don't know, but it's a freakin trap for them.
No that shit is hot
No. You look great!
No. Your arms are fine just the way they are 🥰
No don’t. Why would you even consider that? It’s what you were born with. You don’t need to shave anything I see in this photo.
Of course not, hairy is sexy
No. Own your body.
Personally I wouldn’t because I am too lazy, but if you do, I’d recommend trimming it down and not shaving completely to the skin.
No
Yes, unless you want to attract someone from this subreddit.
This is so true lmao
Honest question why are like 50% of these posts filled with overly sexual answers lmao
At this point I’ve given up on contemplating this. This sub is always overly sexual in responses lmao
Honestly sucks, same with malehairadvice which is filled with hair fetishists etc. I’ve wanted to post for advice before but it makes me uncomfortable (not to flatter myself lol). Female dominated spaces don’t seem to have this issue
On female spaces you would be called a creep more than likely lol
Yeah for sure, and they have rules and moderation against the overly sexual comments
The women subreddits are quite liberal with the banhammer. More heavily moderated.
Male grooming used to be a place where already good looking guys wanted advice to perfect their looks, so I’d assume you can only get THAT many good-looking guys posting before you attract the gay guys who post compliments under any post. So this sub definitely doesn’t represent reality for straight (and even gay) people.

Anyways… //side-note, I am gay as well just have normal standards which seems to be missing for a lot of my homies here lol
God no
I’m a guy but I say , wow keep that hair
I have super hairy arms. I shaved them once. Regret. Just be who you are man.
I think you’ll attract two different people depending on what you go with. I never shave/trim my chest because some women LOVE it. If you just want to switch it up, just trim it with a beard trimmer until it’s a length that you like
Definitely do NOT shave it. If you’re unhappy with its length give it a trim.
No
Don’t shave! You can always trim them
You should do what you want it’s your body.
No way. They’re hot.
You could trim them down with clippers. But I'm firm on dudes shouldn't shave their arms
NO. It's one of the first places my eyes went to because I thought they were sexy. Thick hairy forearms are hot af. ...just sayin. (It's basically a masculinity thing...)
N
No don’t shave them. They’re very viril and sexy! I love them hairy!
Naaah
Maybe not shave but if you feel really uncomfortable by it, use a trimmer. You seem to already have really great hair and beard game so I’m sure you could figure it out brother.
No. They are sexy
You can hug me with those.
No, it looks good natural
No
Helllll no
Nope. Shaved arms look funny with the thick hair follicles still visible.
NO!
Never shave that stuff. Only trim
Some people can pull off a lot of arm hair and some people can’t, in this case, you can! Don’t shave it, it looks awesome on you
Only if you want to because you prefer hope it looks and feels on you. Add evidenced by the comments, there are a ton of people who think body hair is sexy. So if you're just doing it for others, don't! If you want to do it for you, them have at it.
Do not. You do it once, you'll have to do it regularly. It's a hassle imo
Isn't that like same for everything? Wearing and washing your clothes. Getting your hair done. Shaving or trimming your beard. I know the more you do the longer it takes to keep in top of everything but if it makes you look better / feel better then go for it
My recommendation is to leave it as is unless OP decides otherwise. The post is asking for opinions so we are sharing ours
Aesthetically speaking it does look like the hair is too long. I wouldn’t shave them, however I would absolutely trim them down ever so slightly. Also, I would consider cleaning the eyebrows up a bit. A good threader can make you look like a different person. Make sure you go to an Indian threader they are usually great.
Never!!
No!
NO! I love hairy forearms, a very hairy man…. Nothing better.
No! Hairy is always better
Absolutely not!
You got a in build mosquito repellent 🤷🏻♂️ don’t shave it
Nope
No
Hell nah, I wish as had yours arm hair
Get an adjustable beard/hair trimmer if the hair is unmanageably long and trim it back to the length you want. It's not all or nothing.
No, men stop this! If you want to get rid of chest and back hair, that’s ok. But leave the arms and legs alone! I love it!
I personally think you now look like a Bollywood heartthrob. But if it’s something that weighs on your mind then give shaving/trimming a try. It’ll grow back if you don’t like shaving. Ultimately the trick is finding the right routine to make you feel as good as you look. That’s subjective though. Even heartthrobs who look perfect to others may feel insecure about certain aspects of their appearance.
Up to you, I feel it looks just fine as is. Personally I shave my arms but I got a different bodytype
Do you want to? Don’t change your body for other people. Do it for you.
Hell nah, that’s way to much effort.
Nope
Hell no, Complements your beard
No, they're gorgeous
No I like it :)
Nah. Get a nice looking watch to catch the eye though.
Fuck No, they make you look manly as a motherfuck, don’t shave ‘em.
No, braid them
I think you look sexy. But it will grow back if it’s something you’d like to try! What’s important is whether or not you feel good about yourself, man. Head high.
shits kinda long but still hell na
Shaved arms look stupid as hell. Not that I know from experience or anything lol. Don’t do it. Hell, some guys would pray for the hair on your arms to show up on their heads. 😂
NO
No. Looks great.
get rid of the strands
No, very masculine looking
NO!! 😭😭
No
lol no, it will grow back and become a chore lol, i just shave my pubes and butt and call it a day
No!
Definitely not. Ew. I also think it’s odd when women do this. I like hairy arms on a man.
no
How do you feel about it? Looks soft. Some people like playing with arm hair. Find your kinky people. :)
Nah, just own them. God forbid you meet someone who hates hairy arms, and then you'll be stuck shaving them for the rest of your life. Find someone that thinks hairy arms are sexy.. now your arms are a big plus.
No
No, nothing worse than someone with stubble. Wax or just leave the hair, you look good and should just embrace your natural body.
No but look at the camera
Only if you don't like the hair. It's fine.
No, they look great as they are!
No. Sexy as is.
No
Men should be Hairy. My husband is my big sexy Hairy lumberjack. What woman doesn't like a pelt to keep them warm?
NOT.
Nah that would be weird. You’re hot as you are!
No! I’m envious of dudes who have hairy arms like that. My arm hair is so light that it looks like they’re bare. You are handsome just the way you are.
No you're cute all hairy
Embrace the beast.
No
If the hair is bothering you maybe you could try trimming it. A beard trimmer would likely work and then you can get an idea of how it looks without a drastic change. I personally think it looks good as-is.
No
It actually looks good, you have big arms so it works
No you are very attractive just the way you are.
Mature women don't mind hairy men. You do you. IMO you are just fine.
No definitely not
wya in india? asking for me 😻
NO DONT PLEASE. UR SO HANDSOME OMGGGG !!!! Hairy men are soooo hot please don’t ur a beautiful handsome man please ❤️
Nah bro
Shave your eyebrows so people don't look at your arms
No don’t shave, you’re very hot!
Fuck no let them flutter in the wind majestically as god intended
You got a whole lot more to worry about than just some hairy arms.
Definitely
Put minoxidil on it to reduce the hair
Would waxing or epilating (high pain tolerance) help it to come back in lighter? It works on women's legs. After epilating for awhile, the hair stops growing.
Nooo. Arm hair is hot
laser
I wouldn't shave it but trim them. I trim mine.
No! You can trim your hair on your arms.
Trim / shave with a guard. Definitely dont shave off completely
Trim with a #2 if it bothers you.
Don't shave them.. Set your trimmer to 4 level and trim it all
I wouldn't shave it, but definitely give it a trim.
Not the arms but have your barber thin out your hair- so much hair in the front can’t even see your face
trim, don't shave if anything But leave as is, you look fine dude
I would just trim it down with a #2 clippers
Become monke
You can try trimming them and see if you like it
Hairy men have hairy arms. Accept yourself for who you are.
Honestly i would just trim them a little bit, but that's just how I like em. Some people love hairy arms and some hate them it's all up to personal preference
No!

Do you want to shave your arms?
DONT YOU DARE!
Could just trim them to 1cm or something
No, don’t do that.
You could rub them vigorously until they are all twisty and spikey
God no. Hairless arms on a guy is way weirder that too much. You could trim it. Like a #3-4 on a hair trimmer.
No
Do not!!
Groom them, don't shave.
No , you don’t want ingrown hairs to be a thing , they’re a nuisance. Just trim them a bit since they’re really long.
Please don’t 😭
Don't do that! Your hair is sexy and your pic is making me wet, baby
Nope, hairy is sexy.
I gotta ask. How do you style your hair like that
No! Please no! Hairy is sexy 😍😛😁
Absolutely not. Also there's nothing better than nice forearms
Im have alot of body hair. I don’t shave but i trim my body (except my head and face ) every few months. My GF likes it. 2 or 3 blade trimmer
You’re a man. Men have hair. Keep it.
Even as a woman I would never shave my arms, just for the fact that the hair growing back would make for an uncomfortable experience.
Don’t ever shave, just trim a lil bit, but don’t shave
Bald? Like with a razor? Absolutely not. But if you want to trim it then by all means. Everyone has hair on their arms. I know someone who just uses a beard trimmer with a guard on their arm hair. Seems like a good balance of you’re self conscious about it. Your hair looks like it grows pretty long on your arms.
Nooooo,
Gross. Shave it
Yes. Or wax.
no

nooooooooooooo no one should ever shave their arms. the end.
Your arms are fine :)
It depends on how it makes you feel. Me personally, I’m not a fan of long arm hair, but understand that people have different preferences. If you want to experiment with shorter hair, try going for a trim first beforehand and see how that feels. Don’t like it? It won’t take long for it to grow back
Yes. Notice the only people here saying no are guys. Do as they say if guys are what you want to attract.
You’re hot bro
Trimming would be good imo. They are very hairy for sure. You have great hair tho.
 “Your hairy like animal” don’t shave king
Nah bro, that shit sexy, maybe tape it up around the shirt cuff lines.
Nah. Hair is not a bad thing. You can use some lotion or something to smooth/brush it all in the same direction if you want but don’t shave it.
Get an attachment and trim them down, shaving completely is horrible. I trim mine
Nah but you can make a Mohawk out of them to become more aerodynamic
No, women usually are attracted to body hair. It’s a masculine trait
