I read a few of the old "shaved legs" posts but not too many women chimed in. I am curious what you think about a guy shaving his legs. Do you think it looks good or bad?

LOL! Definitely good!

Especially if they're... under 25 and single and faster than me :-)

Shaved legs look GREAT on guys....all ages.

Think about it--do you guys like us hairy? Nope. Smooth is smooth.

I agree with kona and catwood - smooth is definitely sexy!

Oh yeah...That's how I can pick out the tri guys! Plus shaved legs really show off all those great cut leg muscles... :D

Love the smooth look too! Especially if those 'great cut leg muscles', as Scout said, are tan!!
That's what I love!!!

My boyfriend has the sexiest shaved legs! What I find disgusting is hair on backs! There is no icon puking here to use. So worry more about waxing off hair on your back.

Who needs a man when you have a Kuota Kalibur to wrap your legs around.

I am going with everyone else. Shaved is the way to go, legs, chest...back! Smooth is good, very good.

Yep, shaved. And I agree with the back thing too. Think about waxing, I know several guys who do it. Pain, schmain.

It's definitely a plus. Completely agree with Scout - that's how you tell the men from the boys or rather the triathletes from the other guys. ;)

Am I going to be the only to say that though shaved isn't repulsive.... I prefer a bit of hair (firmly in the legs/chest... no backs please).
On the other hand i find althelets sexy (my ex is an Olympian) so i suppose if they are a serious triathlete then it's fine. It's is then sexy by association - ie i don;t like the shaved legs because they're smooth, but because they are part of a v sexy package.
There we go, that's my two pence worth...

I'll admit i like a little hair on the chest. It's the legs though that are nice to see shaven. You can see how hard the cyclist or triathlete has been training.

I will be happy to chime in for my wife (she's not a member yet)

She is another one who votes for hair.. (maybe the first)
"It is just the way it's supposed to be" as far as she is concerned...

I have shaved my legs in the past (a long time before she and I met) and don't mind it (except for the back of my knee - which I cut every time I shaved).

My wife (the only one who really matters to me) thinks my legs are sexier the way they are.. so for now, I will just trim the hair so it stays nice and short.

Besides, hair works for a tennisball - RIGHT ??

I have to vote for no hair also or at least trimmed. There's nothing worse than seeing leg hair poking out of bike shorts and flapping in the wind. (Although, I guess it doesn't really slow some guys down because they are usually riding past me.)

I figure it's personal preference but it is nice to see well-defined legs hair free.

So there's a range of hairyness <-- is that a real word?! If someone is really hairy, i'd be nice to see some shaven legs. If the legs aren't so hairy, then the hair is fine. In summary, I don't mind a guy with some hair on his legs. Shaving it for a race or on different occasions is just fine with me. =)

I'm not a fan of the hairy chest or back though.

I finally talked my husband into shaving his legs. However, you got to KEEP shaving! I'll take hairy over stubble any day!

Shaved is the way to go, if you got the legs you might as well show them.
One more thing: you don't want to be the guy with more hair on his back then his head - not a good look....

Shaved legs are sexy, especially when a pair is biking right in front of you ;) ...great motivation to bike a little faster! But guys with stubble on their legs is a little creepy!

Shaved legs on a ripped man is completely hot. :drool:

:D

At 20 miles of the run in the Ironman we ask ourselves why we do this. At mile 140.6, it all becomes perfectly clear.

I stepped up this weekend and shaved my legs before a race I had on Sunday. Thanks for making it an easy decision. I was going to post a picture of before and after shots but in comparison of that photo of Lance POC posted I would look like a weenie!

I shaved my legs last Wednesday for the first time ever for IM Florida.

I got a massage on Wednesday and the massuese was working on my legs and she asked me why I didn't have my legs shaved, and it made the massage more comfortable.

Down there I was the one out of place with hair on my legs

I got another massage on Thursday and it did feel much better.
On Sunday I noticed I had some ingrown hairs and they itched.

I think this will be an important event thing. My legs are very itchy now. :mad:

My ingrown hairs have my legs looking pretty blotchy,
I don't know how much of a treat that would be.
I also have a funky splotchy sunburn from Saturday too. :eek:

Blitz: basically means if you are gonna ask them to do it, they can ask you, too.

CAcyclingFAN: click "go advanced" instead of using the quick reply. there is a button that looks like a picture of a mountain with a yellow sky and a square sun. Click it, and enter a link to a URL of the image and that should do it. Although for some reason that button seems a bit odd today...
