I'm a guy and I might have to shave my legs.?

Question

I always pick a best answer so

I'm a very competitive swimmer and my coach has been urging me for about 5 years to shave my body he says it would help maybe shave off a half a second. For people not in swimming half a second is alot and it would put me as the best in the city for that event. So how un-attractive would it be to have shaved legs and how could I look like I didn't shave them as much if I did. (Plus don't say wear jeans.)

Always look on the bright side of life.

-WW-

Always look on the bright side of death.

Just before you breath your terminal breath.

Answer 1

It think that it's not okay for men to shave their bodies. HOWEVER, being that you are a swimmer, and a competitive one at that, I would do it. Especially if it can shave off an entire half second. Many people know and accept the idea of swimmers shaving. Go for it.

Answer 2

just do it. if it will get you a better score then just do it. it will always grow back, anyways.

Answer 3

I'd shave it off. If you think that having feminine legs is a sufficable tradeoff for possibly being the best in the city, do it.  

Answer 4

You know, I really don't think it would be that bad.

It MIGHT look alittle g*y, but if anyone asks just tell them you're a swimmer. No big deal.

I don't think anybody would care, but if you don't feel comfortable then don't do it. Good luck with your swimming. :)

Answer 5

wear jeans

Answer 6

Do it. Olympic swimmers do it and you're an athlete.

I wouldn't mind dating a athlete guy who shaves his legs for the sport.

Answer 7

Honestly, being a swimmer that is more important than what it looks like. Yes, it does look st*pid as h*ll but you know what? Your memories of winning best in city for that event are gonna be way more priceless than the unspoken comments of hoity toity people!  I honestly don't understand why people care so much about what others think. Wear jeans! *haha* jk just shave dude and go win your event! Oh and the way you can look like you didn't shave them as much if you did is to tan, there is no other way.

Answer 8

I dont think at all that shave or unshave legs make a guy attractive. It is totally fine if u shave ur leg. I mean comon, why can girls do it and not guys. Mayb u shud wax them cus if u start shaving, u will end up shaving each nights and it will double the proportion of ur hair. anyways u decide..

hope it helps xx

Answer 9

I don't think many people will really care.  I know a lot of girls who hate men with hairy legs!!!!!  It will grow back pretty quickly too.  It would be worth it so you could achieve your dreams :)  Good luck :)

Answer 10

My cousins used to be swimmers and they shaved there body's too. It did help them in swimming by just a few seconds. But you are right just one second is a big deal.

I would just shave, it grows back. If people talk smack about you shaving your body then they have nothing better to do. This is something you like to do and you want to win so why not go with it?

Nothing is wrong with a guy shaving.

Answer 11

i no this is odd but NAIR

its like stinky lotion that removes hair and stays removed for a while

they grow back darker the more you shave

:[

Answer 12

I think boys with hair legs are hott =]

if it like really hairy maybe just shave a lil bit

i don't think anyone will noticed

(don't shave it all off)

lol

=]

Aiimee  

Answer 13

Since your a swimmer i say go ahead. I dont think its very unattractive...becuz i was watching the Olympics and dem swimmers..HUBBA HUBBA!

Yea, and hair always grows back ;)

es all good ;)

also, if a a girl says: OMG! Y do u shave ur legs?!

u say: I'm a competative swimmer...i have to to go faster and keep my abs tight *lifts off shirt* u see?

haha! it gives u an excuse to brag, chico!!!

Answer 14

Well, seeing how well Michael Phelps is doing in the Olympics, I don't think anyone will give you c**p about shaving your legs.   Just a thought :)

Answer 15

not that big of a deal lol, if it helps you go where you want to go in live and achive everything you wannt to then why not? lol, i have dated guys who do it, it's not that big of a deal.  

Answer 16

man if you can get half a second off, then just shave them

it doesn't really matter, as long as your time improves.

and shaved legs really aren't that bad on guys.

Answer 17

big deal. might as well shave off your pubes, too.

Answer 18

Just grow all your hair out so you get a drag and then the day of the race or the day before just shave everything off. It's just hair it'll grow out and I don't think many people would really care if you shaved your legs because so many swimmers do it.
