Gents, what chest hair 'pattern' do you have?

[Osweo]

There was a silly argument in another thread, in which this picture was referred to;
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/Chest_hair_growth.jpg

Where do you fit on this scheme?

I'm number three. The belly doesn't quite join up with the chest, apart from a few stragglers. :p

WOW! Wiki describes me perfectly!;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_hair

Some individuals (of say the pattern in diagram 3) have spirals on their upper pectoral regions (several inches from the nipple towards the neck) which run clockwise on the left breast and counter-clockwise on the right.
:eek::thumbs up

[Pallantides]

I shave my chest, but I think it's most similar to pattern 2.

[Falkata]

1,5 :( Even Legolas is hairier than me

[Grumpy Cat]

Just a woman's input here...

Chest hair is best shaven...

I thought all Southern Europeans were atleast pattern 3 :eek:
...
I'm just joking with you :p

[Electronic God-Man]

Hmmm I suppose it's the first one, but it's not like the chart or the dude pictured on the wiki page...

I tried to redraw #1 to fit...It's sort in a triangular pattern.

We are hairier compared with baltids for example, but i´ve seen many brits and hairy germans around there too. Anyway I´ve a very spanish look in everything except regarding bodyhair :p
I shave my chest too because i prefer to look like a metrosexual than like a teenager :(

[Jamt]

Nr 4 but more so, I am Jamt. I don’t have particular hairy back, legs and arms or shoulders and mustache is disappointing but cheek burns are respect. I shaved my chest once. My ass is hairy heterosexual.

Personally, I don't really care. Back hair however... :puke:

[Saruman]

Err, I'm not even 1 on that scale regarding the chest in particular, and I'm supposed to be a hairy men from dinarids.:eek::p

[Osweo]

Hmm.... Might be worth saying that I've experienced a marked spurt in growth in just the last two years or so, of thickness and area. The shoulders are starting now... ;)

So I think age has some relevance here, as well as the usual genetic and nutrition/health factors.

[Guapo]

Number 1. Legs are even less hairier. My pubes are reddish in color, anywhoo... Must be from mongoloid admixture :rockon:

Dinarids aren't hairy, Yugoslavs in general aren't.

Very mature progressive dinarid variants like this one are usually somewhat hairy:
http://www.farma.rtvpink.com/images/farmer_branko_babovic.jpg
it's possibly due to mediterranid element in them, I guess, but with my more robust type UP element possibly brings less hair. My father is more hairy though not in legs, but mother which is nordid-dinarid is not hairy, it could be from her. My legs have somewhat more hair but in general I'm not hairy.
Yes, as in your case I noticed hair pigmentation decreases going down from the skull.

[Grumpy Cat]

Yeah back hair is gross.

I also appreciate it if a guy shaves, or at the very least, trims, his nether regions. :P

He's actually a good example of a Dinarid/Dormitor type.

[Saruman]

Yes, actually he is from Niksic, near Durmitor. One can hardly be more dinarid than him. So would you say that the folk from durmitor are dinarids?
It seems in Montenegro there are areas where typical dinarid is more dominant, and areas where more robust type is more common.

I've transitioned into a number three in the last year or so and, if my male relatives are an indicator, will end up as a four in a few years. I don't really have any back hair yet though.

[Allenson]

Put me down for a two-and-a-half, coverage-wise.

The only back hair I have of any consequence is in the 'small' of my back. Arm & leg hair are moderate and facial & head hair both are rather heavy.

btw,

Animals need body hair.
human = animal. or something between animal and superior being, in best case. if u dont think so - it is your problem.

Sissy fag-fucker! I love it! :D

Hmmm, could we add another level of degradation to the God of the Wends?:

Each trembling leaf and whistling wind they hear,
As ghastly bug their hair on end doth rear,
wrote Spenser in the Faerie Queene. And Shakespeare uses the word several times. In The Taming of the Shrew: "Tush! tush! fear (frighten) boys with bugs." In The Winter's Tale: "The bug, which you would frighten me with, I seek." "We have a horror for uncouth monsters," wrote L'Estrange; "but upon experience, all these bugs grow familiar and easy to us." We use the word still in the form of Bogie and Bugbear and Bogart.

By its root we know that the word belongs to the same series of ideas as the Irish Phooka, the English Puck, the German SpUk, and our modern word Spook But whence came this form of the word? Sir Walter Scott, in Harold the Dauntless, makes Jutta, the outlaw's wife, by the Tyne, invoke Zernebock, by which is meant Tchernebog--the Black God, a Sclavonic deity. In fact, God is Bog in the Sclave tongues. Bielebog is the White God, but Grimm greatly doubts whether among the ancient Sciaves there existed any discrimination between a White and a Black God.

As Zernebock does not satisfy Jutta by his answer, she strikes the altar and exclaims:--
Hence! to the land of fog and waste,
There fittest is thine influence placed,
Thou powerless, sluggish Deity!
And ne'er shall Briton bend the knee
Again before so poor a God.

As a matter of fact, neither Briton nor Northumbrian Scandinavian ever did bow the knee to the Sclave Bog. The introduction of the Bug, Bogie, Bogart into our Northern counties and into Scotland is due to the extensive colonisation of all Northern Britain by the Danes or Northmen. These had been brought into contact previously with Sciaves in Russia, where they founded a dynasty, and along the Prussian and Pomeranian shores of the Baltic; and they had learned there to scoff at the Sclavonic God and turn him into a bogie, much as later Christian Anglo-Saxons converted the gods of Valhalla into demons. The colonists brought with them to Northumbria the conception of fiendish spirits as the gods of the despised Sclaves. We have no reason to suppose that there ever was a migration of Sclaves into Northumbria, bringing their deities with them, and so giving rise to legends of Bogies. The Danish and Norwegian settlers brought the conception ready-made with them. The final degradation to which the supreme deity of the Sclaves has had to submit has been to confer a name on a particularly offensive insect that does promenade in the night and prove itself a torment.

(I don't believe any of that for a moment, though! :D)

I'm probably too young to be answering this, but I guess I could participate. Between Number 2 & 3 is probably most fitting for now, but I have more hair on my stomach than my chest. None of it is too dense though, so it isn't all that noticeable from a distance, but I expect that to change as I grow older. Hopefully never the shoulders though :no000000:.

I'd see my roommate's chest hair start coming back in like a beard. It was disgusting. It looked bad, probably felt bad, and it screamed "I shave my chest like a pussy." (If you have a naturally hairless chest, that's fine. But guys are not supposed to be that vain where they are taking razors across their chests. It's not masculine.) Thankfully, my shoulders are okay. Sometimes I have to whip out the tweezers to grab a few strays. Not fun.
