Almost half of men admit to trimming or shaving their leg hair – en eyebrow raising admission, even for a generation of spornosexual manscapers.

Male hair trimming that rarely concerns body hair south of the border, unless you’re a professional swimmer or cyclist – but these days average Joes everywhere are taking razors to their hairy pins.

Surveying their Facebook followers, Men’s Health found that while the majority of men are not completely shaving their legs, a surprising 15 per cent are, while a further 33 per cent admitted: “I don’t shave clean, but I do use a trimmer to cut it down”.

years of wearing socks has remove the hair from my feet and ankles. It looks rather odd.

I can relate. If I am wearing shorts and shower shoes, the stupid stray cat that hangs out in my garage stares at my feet/ankles as if to say "Dude....what happened to your paws?

Hate to tell you but a lot of women are now demanding that men shave the same parts women shave... I won’t do it but the issue has come up

When I was on a cycling team, I shaved my legs.

Studies have also found that men prefer women with small or no breasts, and giant cellulite thighs.

Men in San Fran for sure.

If they were just a little patient most of it would wear off when they are old codgers.

I agree. Although full-on shaving is odd to me, so is looking like a gorilla.

Baloney. Almost half of all men majoring in women's studies in college, maybe.

“They are wearing shorts and a smooth leg is currently considered more attractive then a hairy leg.”

Right, but the question is why is it happening now more than in the past? That’s the question, right?

My wife would freak out, kill me, and then divorce me if I did this.

Whew! The actual story linked is on a Brittie website. Those stats are in the UK, not in the USA—well, ‘nuff said!

Guys that do this go to gyms to pick up women.

I'm not gonna say a word, other than I don't think it's women they're trying to pick up.......

It helps them get more in touch with their feminine, snowflake side.

It's not.

Guys used to shave their legs because they wore silk stockings. Once knee breeches went out of fashion they quit shaving their legs.

Now that a "well turned leg" is back in style so is shaving.

I really hope powdered hair is not the next thing to make a comeback.

Aren’t men supposed to be hairy?”

Real men are supposed to be hairy! Something that appears to be in short supply among the young adults.

Men's Health subscribers are hardly a representative sample of MEN.

The brainwashed faggots can “manscape” all they want.

Hell will freeze over before I shave anything but my face.

English-type persons.

That explains it then.
Of course the Brits think we’re obsessed with large American breasts.
