But you don't have to. Check out how.

Women usually fall into two camps when it comes to men with body and facial hair. On one side there are those who can hardly resist such men, and on the other end there are those who don't care. Beard, mustache, "love carpet", hairy back, clean appearance, baldness, etc., strongly divide women's opinions, but they change over the years. Still, back hair never really meets with high approval, while chest hair has a much larger following. Check out what other women think about other types of body and facial hair in men.
