So I realize its a matter of personal preference but what is generally the best route to make the most people happy? I'm not a very hairy person so should I just get rid of it anyway?
I've started to recently...it feels sooooooooooo smooooooth XD It seems that most people don't necessarily want fully bald, but rather just neat, short, clean and basically not a horrible, unruly jungle!
If you aren't naturally very hairy, and you prefer it - then by all means shave it away! I prefer very hairy men, I just love body and facial hair, but other people won't like it at all. Like you said, it's down to preference and it works both ways. You could always try let it grow thicker and in abundance.
