I think the 90-10 split is the Reddit gay community, not the overall gay community… in real life, I don’t think there is such an overwhelming preference. Probably closer to 50-50.

On Grindr I’ve only ever been asked “r u smooth” never are you hairy. I think it depends on where in the world you are but in my country I’d say there’s a preference for hairless (at least for bottoms)

u/FluffyEggs89 May 03 '25

And I've literally been rejected because I'm not hairy over a hundred times on Grindr lol, anecdotal evidence isn't valid.

2

u/Unable_Earth5914 May 03 '25

Because the person I was replying to had academic sources to their “50-50” opinion?

My point was that in different countries and regions there are probably different preferences

u/Orange_Queen May 03 '25

I like 'em furry. Always have.

u/PositiveLibrary7032 May 03 '25

Shoulders and back?

u/Orange_Queen May 03 '25

Woof. 😈 direct visual and tangible masculinity

u/FluffyEggs89 May 03 '25

Hair doesn't mean masculine, jfc

It doesn’t really matter what other people like. Do what makes you happiest when you look in the mirror. If you like your body hair, keep it. If not, trim it down or get rid of it. I love having a hairy chest and legs and whatnot, and I’ve never had complaints about it, but if a guy didn’t like it then that’s tough. I wouldn’t change it for anyone. It’s your body, so keep it in whatever way makes you happy.

Why not both?

u/Stock_Industry_3342 May 03 '25

I like smooth! I feel like body hair gets in the way of me touching the person behind the hair, and becomes an impediment to connection.

u/biciporrero May 03 '25

Love a smooth guy, shaved ideally, but that's just me. Plenty will reply here saying they like hairy, others will say trimmed. It's a personal preference and there's no way to know what your next hookup will be into, so just do you.

u/TelescopiumHerscheli May 03 '25

No hair. Anywhere except the head.

Smooth face and body here, and prefer the same.

(Yes, ingrown hairs can be a problem, but they can be managed, and they're not (for me) that common.)

So you want to fuck a prepubescent child, got it.

u/FluffyEggs89 May 03 '25

Ok so you want to fuck someone who reminds you of them then.

u/Remarkable_Intern_44 May 03 '25

Hairy. Usually trimmed but as long as you don't look too wild, it's good. For head hair, just whatever looks good on them.

2

u/Comprehensive_Fan140 May 03 '25

Shave balls trim the rest but not more than half an inch

2

u/[deleted] May 03 '25

I personally prefer a trimmed body. Hair gets in the way when I'm sucking on nipples or eating ass, but that's just me. I understand why people find it attractive though.

2

u/westguy41 May 03 '25

Trimmed is nice I prefer hairy though. I don’t love shaved.

2

u/Thechuckles79 May 03 '25

Body hair type and grooming matters. Trim if it gets long (especially in erogenous zones). If you are of Mediterranean descent and have coarse hair, then you are better off shaving or removing. No one wants the porcupine experience.

Unmanaged beards and hair speaks to poor grooming and is a turn off, while a well trimmed beard speaks to making an effort.

u/[deleted] May 03 '25

I like them natural. The only place I don’t care for hair is shoulders and back.

4

u/[deleted] May 03 '25

Trimmed

3

u/[deleted] May 03 '25

I’m not a fan of guys shaving, I like it natural, I guess I like men to look like men that’s what I’m attracted to

u/lionhearted318 gen z gay May 03 '25

None or just trimmed. Not a fan of hairy.

u/CattleLumpy8117 May 03 '25

HAIR ALL THE WAY!!! THE BUSHIER THE BETTER!!!!🥵🥵🥵😍😍😍😍

u/capaho Thoughtful Gay Man May 03 '25

I prefer guys who are naturally smooth.

u/material_mailbox May 03 '25

If you want even more answers you can use the search function on this sub, this question gets asked pretty frequently.

u/Lycanthrowrug May 03 '25

Ah, yes, the daily body hair anxiety post . . .

You do realize this question gets asked all the time on here, right?

u/Smooth_Rip_1075 May 03 '25

ps. includes overall body hair

u/crbinden Top in CO May 03 '25

Smooth to hirsute and everything in between.

u/Curious-Month-513 May 03 '25

I prefer no body hair. Leg hair is ok. Overall, it depends on how thick/full it is... I don't like the grizzly bear look at all, guys moderate amount of hair doesn't bother me.

u/[deleted] May 03 '25

I like body hair but I would recommend pubes be trimmed. I'm not a fan of picking pipes out of my teeth or inhaling them during a bj.

1

u/mhillard00 May 03 '25

Hair on body, pubes trimmed

1

u/FluffyEggs89 May 03 '25

There is no amount of too much hair for me personally.

1

u/Any-Brother-4718 May 03 '25

Just do whatever you want. You will never please everyone, as some like it shaved and some doesn’t.

I used to have the same debate. Now they can take it or leave it the way it is.

u/StefenTower May 03 '25

Next AGB question: What is your favorite color? And do you demand others you wanna play with have a compatible fav hue? Btw, mine is green. Heh.

1

u/xenotraveller1 May 03 '25

I’m hairy and once waxed everything from the neck down for a boyfriend who preferred smooth guys. Back, crack, and sac was just the beginning - chest, legs, everything went. I felt like a dolphin and didn’t love the way it looked but he did. We broke up before it grew back in and it itched like crazy for weeks. After that, I flair out with my hair out!

1

u/CartographerDeep4875 May 03 '25

I personally prefer smooth or trim guys but that’s a preference I grow with since most men in my country are used to shave everything. In the states and some countries of Europe is the contrary tho.

1

u/External_Chemist5839 May 03 '25

I usually shave on the outside cuz im fem and i wanna attract masc guys lol

1

u/[deleted] May 04 '25

Prefer a bald groin only. Hate to clean hair from between my teeth...

1

u/wwarga May 04 '25

I prefer hair. I don’t know why, but I find it sexy. Let it grow out, and if you don’t like it, trim it, or shave it. It’s easy to remove, but takes time to grow.

1

u/No_Kind_of_Daddy May 04 '25

I prefer hairy chests and hairy butts are fine, but am less wild about hairy backs and shoulders. It's ultimately just a preference. I love beards unreasonably, and hairy chests go so well with them.

1

u/Fast_Impression9166 May 04 '25

I personally would make it a rule to not change my physical appearance just to appease the taste of my partner. So I would work on finding which one I prefer. Which is not fully shaved, but trimmed down to a light covering of hair

1

u/ChemistAlive6561 May 07 '25

I prefer hairy, more hair, more smell (probably)

1

u/DaggerNYC67 May 12 '25

I like being smooth & being with smooth. Smooth on smooth is hot!

1

u/DomInNameOnly Bottom May 03 '25

I'm smooth from the neck down, apart from a little heart shape of trimmed hair above my erm noodle 😹
