I'm a big, hairy guy...and I don't like it. I think it gives everyone the wrong impression - not just women. I know that people sometimes expect me to be an uncultured brute, but when they get to know me they realize that I'm really just a gentle giant, who
is interested in literature and the arts. So, perhaps negative stereotyping is part of the problem for some hairy guys? I mean, I think my body type would be more suitable for a boozy biker. If I looked like how I feel inside, I'd probably have a more delicate appearance. Alas, not. *sigh*
Anyway, I've found that some women like the 'grizzly bear' look, others don't, but those that do, REALLY do, so I'm definately not complaining that way.
