there is a hair in my soup?!.....guys, hairy chests are coming back.... - NewtonMP2100 - 04-23-2022
.....so you don't have to shave......look at Macron.....
Macron’s chest-baring photoshoot shows he-vage is back
As the French leader deploys his war chest to win over voters, we look at whether it’s ever an acceptable strategy
....All world leaders have a fallback option for when they’re desperately in want of votes. Joe Biden puts on aviator sunglasses and makes sure he’s seen at an ice cream parlour. Donald Trump reaches for his red hat, arranges for 5,000 acolytes to meet him at the nearest airport runway, and incoherently tub thumps for an hour or two. Boris Johnson drives a digger through a wall, or something, then hopes people misread that metaphor and see it as charming.
Emmanuel Macron, bless him, is no different. Leading Marine Le Pen by just five percentage points in the French presidential election, he needed to turn heads this Easter weekend, and rapidement. “Mes amis, what can I do to really get the people going?” he must have asked his staff on Saturday, to nonplussed faces.
A month ago, Macron spent an afternoon wearing a hoodie, a furrowed expression and three-day stubble for a photoshoot that made it look as if he was playing Volodymyr Zelensky on Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes. It went down poorly, but not poorly enough to put Team Macron off overtly masculine, uncomfortably informal portraits involving excesses of body hair and that familiar political scent, Eau D’esperation.
Because he’s at it again, and this time he’s saying it with his chest. In a new photoset from Soazig de La Moissonnière, a frequent Élysée snapper, Macron can be seen reclining, presumably post-rally (post-something, anyway), on a mustard leather sofa, with several mobile phones at his side and at least four more shirt buttons undone than is ever acceptable, unless actively undressing.
And poking – no, powering – through the chemise is his rarely-seen running mate: a bristling carpet of thick brown hair. The war chest. A Tom Selleck throwback special. Ryan Giggs at Villa Park in 1999. The full Barry Gibb. And boy, did it get the people going. Some politicians call for a spin doctor, Macron called for the rug doctor. Diagnosis? A heavy dose of he-vage......
so much.........hair.......?!

Bravo Emmanuel Macron! Let your fur flag fly high and proud, mon frere!
Guy Kelly, the person who wrote the linked article, sure did unleash a whole lot of snark over a little chest hair showing. Personally I think he's jealous.

Sorry, but I don't subscribe to the whole "manscaping" thing. I don't think anyone has any business telling men that they have to shave, any more than anyone has any business telling women the same thing.

Ditto. Guys with shaved chests (and other parts) seem emasculated to me.

On that we are in full agreement.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of it in that context, and I'll have to consider your opinion further before I can agree or disagree with it.
I've always chalked it up to raging insecurity if not actual self-loathing, mainly because the guys I've known who did it were usually stereotypical Mediterranean types with dark wavy or curly hair and brown eyes who would also bleach and straighten their hair and wear blue contacts, with the net effect being them looking like Wish.com versions of Swedes when they would have been better off owning and celebrating the features they had naturally, chest hair and all... But that's just my opinion. As Covid did for germaphobes and hypochondriacs, the Voluntary Alopecia look being in style for the last 20 years or so provided not only validation but actual encouragement of their obsession.

It’s the stern bush! Bonus points if you know what tv show that is from.
Now, somebody explain to me the female interest in calves. All the sudden I’m hearing it everywhere.

Geez, he’s got as much hair on his chest as I’ve got on my back.

Does this mean my hairless Native American chest is gonna need a wig? Does it come with a matching back and butt pieces?

True Story. Back in the early 90s, I was dating the girl who would become my first wife. She was chubbier than usual for me, but I liked her.
At this time I was jogging 5 miles daily at a local park. She asked to go with me, and was really stugglling after a mile. I kept encouraging her, and told her "come on, just get to that bridge and you can take a break!" She tried and tried, and decided to encourage her by running backwards in front of her and tell her, "I know you can do it, come on!"
As I'm doing this, another young lady who was an even better runner than I passed and said, "Nice calves, bro!"
I absent mindedly said "Thanks!"
Then I looked back at my girl and saw a look of hate that I would become familiar with in the not to distant future. But the adrenaline kept her going to the bridge.
I told her to keep walking and I will catch up with you. I lapped her and we finished up our exercise.
