Default Tanning / Waxing

Okay, I'm about 3 weeks into my plan, and I'm seeing definite results. To the point that I'm already wanting to be around people shirtless.

Except, I have a lot of chest/belly hair which I know doesn't look good, and I am the palest person on earth.

So, I was thinking of just using a hair clipper to at least reduce the density, and then get some kind of sunless tanner? I don't want permanent hair removal in case I regret it, I'm not going to deal with waxing every week, and shaving just does not work. The stubble grows out quickly, and I get ingrown hairs which look like pimples. I don't have the time (or sunlight) to lay out, and I don't want cancer.

Any tips? How do bodybuilders do it?

I know you say about not wanting cancer, but a few short sessions on the sunbed might be worth a shot. Just ensure to wear the right cream etc.

Dude, if you're this interested in it just make time to layout. You won't get cancer. A moderate amount of natural sunlight is good for you anyway, and it's something alot of poker players could use more of.

You're going down D-Bag Road if you start using sunless tanner.

There's not much sunlight here, I'm up at night, and I freckle up easily. I don't want to look bronze- just not pasty-white.

Dude don't worry about the chest hair. I'm super hairy and I've only gotten compliments on it from the ladies (which is always surpising). I think they think it's manly or something, which works for me. I don't think they like back hair though.

I gotta diagree.

In college I shaved my chest and went shirtless as Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. My chest hair wasn't really all that thick, hit it with the clippers, then Mach 3.

Multiple girls that had previously seen me shirtless (thinly veiled brag) commented on how great it looked and the lucky lady who i chose that night told me that I looked so much more cut and I should keep it up.


Even now, when I get lazy and let it grow back in, when I shave it I feel like I lost 5 lbs.

Noah,

Girls that like chest hair:

Really hairy chest >>> kind of hairy chest

Girls that don't like chest hair:

Hairless chest >>> all others
