Hair makes people look older and gayer than they are, before I shave I look 108 years old and after I shave I look 17
So did women in the old days just have bushy monobrows lol?

It still is.
You know, world wasn't ruled by marketing and media 200+ years ago.
Styles and vanity points change from time to time.
It's actually both sad and funny you even question whether it's normal that some people have a hairy chest.
Maybe in a hundred years someone will ask if having hair at all is normal. No eyebrows, no hair, no nothing. Just like the "aliens"

I wasnt manipulated into hating hair tbh, when I was a teen my hair growth wasnt that flattering so I played experimented with my sisters veet and hair dye, results were pretty impressive.
Plus I have really light skin and really dark hair which doesnt really work at all :(

They used an open razor (i.e. a sharp blade). Some barbershops still use them. The barbershop I go to, for example, uses a straight razor to shave the sideburns, around the ears, and the back of the neck.
Roman soldiers, for example, would shave their arms/legs with their bladed weapons to test how sharp they were. If they could shave the hair off of their legs/arms easily with the blade, then the blade was deemed "sharp". If it couldn't shave the hair off easily, then it was deemed "dull".
In some cultures they simply didn't ever shave. This could be because being shaved was a practice reserved for the wealthy who had servants to do it for them, or because shaved legs/arms implied that you were a prostitute. In other cultures, shaving was just simply something that people didn't do.

For some unknown reason you lose most heat via your head percentage wise. So having a thick hat/hair will let you conserve more energy. Evolution decided that having your head freeze is a bad thing that should be avoided at all cost. That's why the head/brain doesn't lose any circulation, it circulates as much warm blood in cold as in warm situations. |

Tweezers. Until the razor was invented if you didn't want it, it got plucked. Oneà at à aà time.
If that doesn't make you cringe, left me help someà In Ancient Rome, it was considered unfashionable to have body hair. Any body hair. The Roman baths had attendants whose sole job in life was to pluck body hair. Now think about the typical Italian. How long do you think it took to get each and every hair plucked?

The reason most barbers don't use straight razors anymore, is because they are so sharp, it's hard to not cut someone. And with the spread of diseases through blood, most have decided to not use them at all. I've always wanted a straight-razor-shave by a barber. Just can't find a barber that will do it anymore.

In fact, you do loose most of your heat through your head. HOWEVER, this is only due to how we dress. Your head, or at least some part of it, is usually exposed, so that's where the heat transfer will take place. If we walked around naked, the heat loss would be evenly distributed throughout the body, but probably more from your core, since that is where the majority of heat in your body is.

If they learned it from the folks further east/south, then they would use twisted strings and could pull out several 10th per second. See Turkish hamams (bathing-house) for instance.
Afaik several afrikan/desert folks used to remove all of their hair to get rid of fleas/ticks and the like as they couldn't wash them self that easily with water so scarce.

I don't know about that. The human body reacts to cold weather, by constricting the blood vessels close to the surface of the skin - so that we lose less heat per unit surface area of skin.
The head, however, does not have this reaction, as the brain requires enormous amounts of oxygen to operate. SO the colder it gets, the higher % of heat loss you have through the head.
NOW, you need to understand the "myth" properly in order to say that it is true. For example, you could mean two things:
1) More than 50% of heat lost, is through the head. This is obviously FALSE.
2) The greatest % of heat lost PER UNIT OF SURFACE AREA is from the head, as opposed to the rest of the body per unit of surface area. This is true in cold weather, and so long as you are not physically exerting yourself.

Wax, razors, or tweezers. They've all been around for a very, very long time.
Fun fact - you can shave with just about any sharp knife. You can find knives from prehistoric times onward in pretty much every culture.
Electric razors are a luxury, not a necessity. So is shaving, for that matter. Many cultures don't care about things like armpit hair or leg hair.

Ahh I get the first few comments now, I just figured I said something that offended people, I guess this explains why I cant find the GD thread I was meant to post about forum bots. Which scans eve-search or google I cant remember and if their name / corp / alliance or whatever is mentioned within a given time the user is notified.
Oh and get this as well there is actually a bot that F5's threads as many times as you want getting views etc, seriously the botting community are ****ed up, which ****** would be want to spend $9 (thats like 10p) on a bot that gets them views.

Hair removal methods
ò Extricating, Using the Razoraid to free trapped ingrown hair or razor bumps.
"Depilation", or removal of hair to the level of the skin, lasts several hours to several days and can be achieved by
ò Shaving or trimming (manually or with electric shavers)
ò Depilatories (creams or "shaving powders" which chemically dissolve hair)
ò Friction (rough surfaces used to buff away hair)
"Epilation", or removal of the entire hair from the root, lasts several days to several weeks and may be achieved by
ò Tweezing (hairs are tweezed, or pulled out, with tweezers or with fingers)
ò Waxing (a hot or cold layer is applied and then removed with porous strips)
ò Sugaring (similar to waxing, but with a sticky paste)
ò Threading (also called fatlah or khite, in which a twisted thread catches hairs as it is rolled across the skin)
ò Burning off with hot wax can damage the cells and prevent hair from ever growing in the unwanted spot again.
ò Use of Turmeric along with other ingredients like besan powder and milk
ò Epilators (mechanical devices that rapidly grasp hairs and pull them out)
ò Prescription oral medications
ò Drugs that directly attack hair growth or inhibit the development of new hair cells. Hair growth will become less and less until it finally stops; normal depilation/epilation will be performed until that time. Hair growth will return to normal if use of product discontinued. Products include the prescription drug Vaniqa, with the active ingredient eflornithine hydrochloride inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, preventing new hair cells from producing putrescine for stabilizing their DNA.
Permanent hair removal
For over 130 years, electrolysis has been and remains the only 100% permanent hair removal method recognized by government regulatory agencies such as the FDA. This technique permanently destroys germ cells responsible for hair growth by way of insertion of a fine probe in the hair follicle and the application of a current adjusted to each hair type and treatment area.
Experimental or banned methods
ò Photodynamic therapy for hair removal (experimental)
ò X-ray hair removal is an efficient, and usually permanent, hair removal method, but also causes severe health problems, occasional disfigurement, and even death. It is illegal in the United States.
Doubtful methods
ò Electric tweezers
ò Transdermal electrolysis
ò Transcutaneous hair removal
ò Photoepilators
ò Microwaves
ò Foods and Dietary supplements
ò Non prescription topical preparations (also called "hair inhibitors", "hair ******ants", or "hair growth inhibitors")

Throughout history living to 30 was rare, so facial hair probably wasn't a big issue, and the people who did live long enough to have a good amount of growth were damned proud of it.
As for women shaving their legs, i imagine they didn't hundreds of years ago. Why would they? It's only in recent times clothing shows them off like it does, and men probably wouldn't care in the bedroom because they wouldn't know any different.

Ancient Romans were known for shaving, so it's at least 2000 years old. Quite probably much longer.

So the leading choices so fare are being Slashed by Blades, Chemical Baths to Desolve it, Electrocution or Being Shot by a Laser.
Awsome! I hate having body hair and it's not gay if I try to get rid of it, because it's like an action movie for your skin.

"Hair removal", pfffffft....
*strokes full beard*
Fashion / aesthetical trends are a pretty silly phenomenon. Kids, google up some nudie pics from the 70s / 80s, you'll see that back then the norm was a solid hairy bush. Nowadays, Sasha Gray dares to show some pubic hair and that creates some sort of a "scandal".

Men shaving their legs or body hair is just plain wrong, unless you're an athlete that does it to enhance performance or reduce friction such as professional swimmers or cyclists.
Some women love a hairy chest, some find it disgusting, it's all down to taste, personally if I was any hairier some people would lock me in a cage with the apes at the zoo, but I dont care and neither does the missus, she likes it.

You know, as a Latinamerican living in Panama, seeing Europeans, some USA (not all, thankfully they all mostly hygiene conscious) and India people all day long here and exuding all their manly/womanly odours all over the place believing taking baths is for "crazy people" and bad for your health, I must say Shaving would be good for them.
I don't mind hairy people, but most hairy people smell awful in tropical climates with 70%-90% humidity and over 30degrees Celsius temperatures most of the year.
So I must inform you I digress with your statement regarding wrongness of shaving, Specially ARMPITS and GENITAL area. I'm tired of smelling the pungent smells coming from a Myriad cultures, specially in enclosed spaces. Considering most middle/upper class latinamericans are as anal regarding body odors as some Asian Cultures I kinda hate being forced to smell such Eau'du Crappe fragrances.
Though to be fair most of the odors don't come only from hair, hair is one of the factors in the equation. Removing it, or at least trimming it is a plus.

but ... why is hair unwanted ...
Hair makes people look older and gayer than they are, before I shave I look 108 years old and after I shave I look 17
Most girls start to grow hair at the age of 11-13. Does this mean you'd rather date a girl looking like a 12-year old than a girl with hair looking like 20?

In fact, you do loose most of your heat through your head. HOWEVER, this is only due to how we dress. Your head, or at least some part of it, is usually exposed, so that's where the heat transfer will take place.
I'm sure the fact that heat rises, and your head is on the top of your body has zero to do with it.

Brujo Loco the key to being hairy and not suffering from body odour in warm humid climates is cleanliness. I lived in Belize for 6 months or so and it can be damn hot and humid depending on the time of year, taking a shower in the morning and early evening goes a long way to killing unpleasent odours, hair is nothing to do with it, its stale sweat and the bacteria that live in it that cause the smell.

For an airhead such as yourself, yes, this would matter. Hot AIR rises genius, at least at room or body temperatures its gases that do the advection thing noticably. Solid-ish matter (flesh), not so much, would look weird too. Its not the heat that rises, its the stuff holding it.
Its a combination of things posted by others. The head is home to a pretty important part of what's considered a person's core. The core is the last thing the body will allow to cool down, so when things get cold, and with out human tendency to cover the torso, the head does its radiator thing.

I don't know about that. The human body reacts to cold weather, by constricting the blood vessels close to the surface of the skin - so that we lose less heat per unit surface area of skin.
The head, however, does not have this reaction, as the brain requires enormous amounts of oxygen to operate. SO the colder it gets, the higher % of heat loss you have through the head.
NOW, you need to understand the "myth" properly in order to say that it is true. For example, you could mean two things:
1) More than 50% of heat lost, is through the head. This is obviously FALSE.
2) The greatest % of heat lost PER UNIT OF SURFACE AREA is from the head, as opposed to the rest of the body per unit of surface area. This is true in cold weather, and so long as you are not physically exerting yourself.
Even when you exert yourself the percentage per unit of surface area will still remian the highest at the level of the head, for the reasons that you mentioned and the fact that there is little to no insulation in that area and the skin is also some of the thinnest on the body which also increase the effects of evaporative cooling.
In extremely cold situations the fingers and toes are also significant areas of heat loss due to the extreme surface area with little heat insulating tissue within the boundaries of the digits. The bodyÆs mechanism that helps prevent the heat loss from the digits is the same for the rest of the bodyÆs surface area, blood flow restriction; unfortunately this can lead to the loss of said digits. The body constricts the capillaries to a point that the tissues can die from lack of blood flow.
The body will redirect heat, from the surface area of the body, hands, feet, arms, and legs, to the core to maintain the vital organs. Due to the heavy insulation and depth of the internal organs, this will usually be the last area to lose heat from. Theses reactions are of the main reasons frostbite set in and the order in which frostbite attacks the various parts of the body.

Very well, you are indeed right and I hope you pass those excellent and clean manners to your offspring. Problem is not everyone is as clean as you, and I doubt they will change, yet I expressed myself in such a manner because most hairy people I have seen from abroad are not very clean.
I have been abroad too, and must confess my nose is not used to certain countries. Here I get the cool refreshing breeze of the Pacific Ocean all day long and the long distant humming and sound warnings of the huge ships that trail the Panama Canal, yet I know a foreigner has been in the elevator recently because of the interesting "musk" they leave behind bleh.
Yes, it's not a hair issue, but must confess I'm somewhat biased against hairy people since I associate them with uncleanliness ...

FYI:
Much of the hairyness of men these days is due to the hormonal imbalance caused by pollution and chemicals in the food.
Certainly one would expect it to be the other way, that is, moobies all around. But in reality the endocrine system fights back hard, so what you end up with is guys with gorilla hairy backs with pattern baldness on their heads that would match a man twice their age.
Estrogen mimicking hormones in the dairy products and water, plus overall bad health to mess with progesterone production (the regulation hormone) makes for excessive body hair, and accelerated hair loss on the head.
Stay off the junk and chemicals and you won't be a monkey with a bald head by 40.
As for the women, they don't get more girly, they just get cancer instead. So when you bury your wife or girlfriend after she dies of breast cancer, you will have a hard time getting a new one with that bald head and hairy back.

I've never ever been able to figure out why men would shave their chests, arms etc. I would kill to have hair on my chest! I've been cursed with an almost hair free body, apart from face and head, and I hate it!

I would guess it has something to do with people often wanting what they don't have. You can't see yourself through the eyes of another, but you can see all the great things others have that you lack, so it is harder to appreciate the good things about yourself. Negative feedback on your own looks also tends to stick with you better than positive, especially if you are a young person with less than perfect self-esteem, which also helps to lower the value of your attributes in your own eyes.
