The Qwer Old Fella's Marathon Method

What a gross misrepresentation by saying "all". I wax mine.

It's mostly a generational thing Bam. Based on my observations at the gym and here at school I 'd say that many men under 30 have opted for the hairless, womanly look. Most men over 30 have retained their masculinity.

If shave my legs, my wife gets jealous because they are more shapely and attractive than hers.

Russ - I doubt you wax: I've heard that it hurts when you pull the strips off - I guessing you couldn't handle the pain:)

Rob - So it's a young guns thing. I bet there are 'parlours' where Jake and his type go for a full double limb trim with a silky finish.

Kam, aka Sexy legs.

Dirty lies! I have so much hair that it whistles when I run!

No shaving for me. I would get beat up here. I do let me naturally hairless, becoming-more-boyish torso gather rays in the summer though.

Lore has it that shaving is for speed, but really it is to showcase, to which I say, let 'em shine.

Fear not Bam. I may wear those fancy socks and sleeves but the hair on my legs pokes right through them :).

In (only) Jake's defense, I made him do it because he cried whenever I would try to massage him with those hairy legs b/c I was pulling the hairs. Much easier now :) And it'll keep him cooler in the Phoenix sunshine for the marathon! I don't know about all these other girly guys! :)

My hubs shaves his leg hair too. He doesn't opt for the bald ankle look. :)

Does your achilles bother you often Bam?

Brandon - You've restored my faith in American men:)

Andrea - You can't fool me: Jake likes having girly legs:)

Lily - If I were to shave my legs I wouldn't know where to begin:)

My achilles was playing up because of nerve impingement, which was causing my hip/butt/leg problem. I've managed to 'cure' the achilles and everything else, by releasing the nerve. It took me 6 weeks to get to the root of the problem and then when I got there, it was so obvious and simple - I'm annoyed with myself for not sorting it out sooner. But all's good now:)

Not all American men, Bam. I never have, and I never will :)

that's why i married a brit.

Thank you Andrea, for pointing out how tough I am when getting massaged :-)

Plus, it just looks better when my legs match my chest.

I don't shave my legs, arms, chest, and often even my face.

Jon and Matt - you have been elevated into the supermale category with messrs Murphy, Taylor, Dase(half man - wears compression stuff and cross trains like a girl) and the posh junior: master Jason D.

Note: Matt, stewards enquiry - Matt is half a man too: he wears compression sleeves and has recently recorded cross training and worse still, counted it as real training (shock; horror).

Jake - there's no hope for you:)

allie - you were wise to marry a man:)

EDIT: Matt didn't count his cross training miles. Matt is elevated to 3/4 man - he still wears girly arm things when it's a bit chilly:)

Russ, Kam and Lily's man - fall into limbo category.

Russ hunts - I doubt that hunters shave or wax; I suspect Russ may be joking. Time will tell.

Kam may have a penchant for silky smooth legs but his other half doesn't allow him to walk that dangerous path - so I'm not to sure what to classify him as...

Lily's man can't defend his reputation, so it's not fair to categorise him:)

Okay, Bam, you've got me. I was taking the mickey. No leg shaving goes on for me. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Jake. (Seinfeld?)

Thankfully, I'm still > 50% man. Boy, you work an entire life to be 100% man, and I wear arm compression sleeves only once, and my "man" status is now 75%. I have no excuses. I take full responsibility for my actions. Maybe there is still hope for me :)

Matt - there's always hope:)

Russ - I suspect you might be a secret shaver.
