Losing body hair

[Noodley]

I have noticed that men seem to lose body hair, especially lower and upper leg hair, as they age. But not so apparent in the middle leg area. And the "temple" area of the head.

You don't lose it- it just moves from your temples and thighs to your nostrils and ears bro.

And if you are going bald noods it's cos you're drinking white wine.

Most of the hair had gone from my shins by the start of 2012, but I've noticed that some of it has come back since I got ill last July. I don't know what that means. No such luck with my head though - 50% of the hair has gone and 75% of what is left is now grey!

After loosing the lot (and I mean THE LOT) to Chemo a few years back, I hope I never go bald ever again!!


..... There is a reason you have pubes

You should ditch the white wine and get a snakebite... that'll put hairs on your chest.

Does this mean I can stop shaving?

It helps catch sweat etc, so without it, your bits often end up sticking together!

Hmmm. Think I read that about eyebrows once. Apparently sweat in eyes stings a lot!

Indeed sweat in the eyes does sting, I know, and I had eyebrows at the time too! In fact, it happened to me one summers night at Euston once as I photographed class 87s whilst I waited for the sleeper home.

LOL! Wrong thread for that!

Just giving the slightly obscure surroundings, that's all. Actually it has happened to me several times - I like heat, but my body clearly thinks otherwise sometimes!

Interesting I don't remember it ever happening when I had chemo and no eyebrows (but sticky bits), but when I think about it, that would make sense as a long term side effect of the chemo I had was that I felt the cold very easily, so I only started to get a little bit warm at about 35 degrees!
Everyone else would be dying from the heat, and I'd be walking about in a huge jumper quite happy!

That lasted a good 5 years, and I still love heat as a result. My body might have gone back to 'normal' again, but I now have a pretty good idea of what I can actually stand, so heat doesn't bother me as much as others, and I have happily worked in 100+ degree heat since then.

Note that I only say that I like heat, as I burn stupidly easily, so I like heat, yes, but I HATE strong sunshine, so I am no sun worshipper by any stretch of the imagination, oh no no no no!! There is nothing more tragic to me than being obsessed with the weather just so you can go and sunbathe at every possible opportunity. I'd rather be doing things instead!
