mens legs: Ladies only respond, please. ( I asked nicely)

Men that remove the hair on their legs and use lotion, get mani/pedi etc are too much into pampering themselves Not for me!!

Another man clocking in on this. I get the occasional pedicure because when I cut my toe nails I am often inept and end up with sharp edges and burrs that can scratch or cause pain to my Sydnie7. I think it is a courtesy of me to spend $20 or so to be able to get closer to her. What is wrong with a little pampering for me? Does it errode my masculinity to have someone besides me cut my nails? I think not. And just like having my hair neatly trimmed it gives me a reason to stand tall when I know all parts of me are ready to go on display.

Another guy chiming in - sorry Alan!

I have an interesting situation and I'd like to get some feedback: due to my martial arts training, tucking my legs under to do backwards roll and falls - the hair on the outsides of my lower legs has been pulled out. It didn't hurt when it happened, as it didn't happen all at once. It gradually came out over the course of about 6 years of training. It appears to be permanent, as I haven't been on the mat to train in over 5 years and there's still no hair growing back. The leg is bare from about where my kilt hose would normally hit (a hand's breadth, or about 4 inches, down from the base of the knee) all the way down to my ankle.

When I'm in my kilt, 99% of the time I'm wearing kilt hose, so no one sees this disparity/oddity. I don't know that anyone really notices it when I'm wearing shorts - at least no one's said anything to me. Ladies, what, if anything, should be done about it? Shave the rest? Leave it? Rogaine??

Hi John,

I would leave it as it is and not shave your legs. You don't want to be dealing with leg stubble for the rest of your life! Many men have patchy leg hair, so you are not alone, and the reason you have lost leg hair makes for great manly stories of strength and skill. It is a badge of honor!

Cheers,
Jocelyn

agreed!!!!

ps- what is it with Scottish men and having a phobia of putting lotion on their skin? I asked like 6 of my Glasgow pals if they wear lotion and all of them were like "NO! WE'RE STRAIGHT!" as though only gay men can practice skin care. lol. I don't get it. They even went so far as to say if they have flakey dry skin, they still wont lotion it up. They will let it flake away.

weirdo boys.

Men's legs. They are a nice thing to behold. And I like to behold if truth were told. It's all good as a friend of mine says.
With my last few years spent in the custom sewing and fit area I tend to look at people with an eye to proportion and balance. A kilt tends to overbbalance the upper body. Hose, especially darker hose, will balance the look. Hose also gives good proportion when worn with the kilt when worn to the knee. Shorter hose worn with boots gives a chunky, heavy look that is balanced by a kilt. Kilts worn with sandles and no socks makes the overall look unbalanced and less pleasing to the eye. Even awesome legs can't overcome the unbalanced. And I'm not just thinking about men when I say this.

Precisely, DixieCat! That is exactly the point I was trying to make. Thanks!
