If you think your boyfriend urgently needs a "clipped" but has no intention of shaving, how to get him to at least remove the hair on his chest? Many men with hirsutism may cling to this trait, thinking they only need to shave the face: doing it on the rest of the body is "feminine". However, by focusing on his masculinity, you may be successful in convincing him to remove unwanted hair, to reveal a smooth, soft, boyish chest, currently hidden by the fluff.
Steps
Step 1. Focus on its practical side
Men love concrete ideas, and if you give them a valid reason, they may be persuaded. Just telling him “That would be great” probably won't get any hold on him, so look for a convincing way to get him to pick up the razor. Here's what you could tell him to get him to understand that shaving has benefits.
- When playing sports, the friction caused by the contact of the shirt with the skin will be less. In many cases, men with hairy chests notice that their nipples or certain areas of the chest become irritated while exercising. Of course this also happens to those who are shaved, indeed, the hairs could even protect the epidermis. However, you can lie and say "Remove them and you will experience less hassle".
- You will notice some reduction in pimples. Shaggy-chested men who don't give much thought to their personal hygiene are not exactly diligent in washing the skin in this area properly. The result? It is more prone to the appearance of imperfections. If the hair is removed, it will be extremely easy to lather her. Eliminating the fluff means that you have less bacteria and traces of dirt trapped in this area.
- He will realize that it will be easier to get a tan. If your man wants a nice, even tan, he should shave his chest. It is easier to get a beautiful complexion if the skin is free of hair.
- It will be more attractive to you. If you have an intimate relationship with this man, explain to him that you would like him to shave so the hair won't cause you any irritation.
Step 2. Tell him you find shaved chests sexy, that's all
If a guy thinks that removing hair from this area will persuade you to have sex with him, you won't need anything else to convince him.
- Remember the moments when you hug each other. Tell him that curling up on a shaved chest is considerably more comfortable. Having no stray hair in your mouth or cheek ignites your desire.
- Explain that if he had a shaved chest you could see all his muscles. Which guy doesn't want to show off the turtle? While your he doesn't have exactly sculpted abs, he'll be thrilled by the idea of showing off his "musculature" instead of hiding it under a bundle of hair.
- Tell him that you think a soft, bare chest attracts kisses. Explain that you are more likely to kiss a hairless one than one that is full of it. How many girls would like to have hair in their mouths in the middle of a romantic evening?
Step 3. Remind him that having a shaved chest could boost his self-esteem
Many guys are influenced by fashions and feel slightly embarrassed by the hair on their chest, especially in an age when perfectly hairless male bodies are so popular; just think of Zac Efron, David Beckham and Justin Bieber. The fashion of the unbuttoned shirt with the hair in full view belongs to the distant seventies: modern beauty standards consider shaved chests to be much more attractive. Here are some benefits it could get with regards to its safety:
- He will feel more confident on the beach. If he always wears a shirt because he feels uncomfortable and fashion has a certain influence on him, he can proudly show off his bibs. Tell him you'd like to see him show off his steel abs in public.
- She may feel more comfortable wearing thin sheer tops or dress shirts. Overly hairy men actually seem to have some kind of mat underneath these garments. Also, unless you're wearing a tank top, the hair will show up. Many know this and feel embarrassed, but shaving the chest will eliminate the problem.
Step 4. Suggest that they hire a professional to do this job
One reason why the idea doesn't convince him is the thought of having to shave himself, with all the necessary tools and the confusion that will ensue. If he is particularly hairy, in particular, shaving his chest can take a lot of time, and will probably be a little painful. By entrusting the task to a beautician, the advantages are various, including:
- Reduction of the burning sensation and irritation caused by the razor. A beautician knows how to shave the chest to prevent these problems from occurring. Thanks to the technique and the effectiveness of the method used by the professional, your man will be happy with the result.
- Beauticians know how to depilate the right way, without cuts or bleeding. If your boyfriend can't stand even a cut or hates the sight of blood, a professional is definitely needed.
- You could go to a professional who specializes in male hair removal. Many men are ashamed to go to the beautician to shave their chest. For this, find a place that has a male clientele to make him feel more comfortable. This factor could allow you to convince him.
Step 5. She doesn't necessarily refuse to go there because she finds hair removal to be a female prerogative:
remember that he may be afraid of pain. After all, shaving delicate areas is painful (and you know it well if you wax). Let him know that he loves your smooth legs and ask him what he would think if they were hairy. Talking to him to reassure him, giving him ideas to alleviate this factor, may prompt him to consider waxing, laser treatments, and so on. Offer to pay for him if that helps persuade him.
- Talk about methods you know of to relieve pain, such as creams that numb the area, steam, whiskey, etc.
- As suggested earlier, suggest that they go to the beautician, as this usually means less pain. Then, offer him the treatment.
Step 6. Avoid nagging him for this reason
Tell him what your preferences are, but remember that it is he who has to make such a choice, not you. If he's not convinced by your suggestions and wants to keep keeping his chest hairy, then you should learn to accept it. Remember that he is now well aware of what you like, but you will not be able to persuade him by constantly complaining about it. Let your motives work their way into him; eventually, he may agree, but on his terms, on his own time and only when he decides to do so. Ultimately, don't forget that your relationship is more important than excess hair.
Advice
- Using a beard trimmer on chest hair is useful for some men and serves to make the area more tidy, not to remove it.
- Prefer razor waxing for a smoother and faster result.
- If this is really important to you but he hasn't lifted a finger to change, you could use a passive-aggressive response - stop shaving. Does he make nasty comments about your armpits or legs? Simply tell him that you will remove the hair when he does too.
- Sometimes it's best to compromise. For example, it might leave hair on the chest intact, but get rid of hair on the shoulders and back. If she feels like her superfluous fluff is really annoying to you, she may want to get rid of at least some of it.
- Make sure he applies sunscreen to his chest when he goes to the beach - without hair, he'll be more prone to sunburn.
Warnings
- Always be sensitive. Nobody wants to be insulted or receive comments that make them feel disgusting or nauseating. This hurts and can cause a lowering of self-esteem.
- The body is his; if he doesn't want to, he learns to live with it.
- If it has a significant amount of hair, let a beautician shave it; a do-it-yourself approach could cause cuts, burning sensations and uneven regrowth.
