Interesting pictures...do I see some ZZ Top influences in one of them?
Here's a shot of my legs, in a typical femme outfit. As I've mentioned before, I'm regular guy from the waist up and femme from the waist down. I took this picture a day after shaving; I can go about that long before regrowth becomes visible.

After looking at this topic again, and seeing the pic of your legs, gee, if you had said they were from your wofe, I would have believed you.
I thought, they, your legs look very appealing. Just as men's faces can look appealing, when clean shaven. There is something appealing about clean "hairless" smooth skin, that I at least find appealing to see.
I think the big point here is that if it were very easy to get rid if hair on the rest of our body, other than our face, then more nmen would clean themselves up, just as they do with their face. But as it is, ( form my own experience ) unless you permanently remove hair, it is a timely and costly experience, my hairs comming back on my chest nearly as fast as on my face, have to shave nearly twice a day to keep smooth. But the result of having a smooth body is just fantastic, It fels more sensual, clothes slide over you like greased lightning.
The fact that men mostly apparently have full body hair, heavy hair, may be a very determining factor in how we men dress.
Chosing automatically clothing that is not hindered by hairy body parts.
I have epilated the backs of my hands, but wished I had not. probably because of a quick recovery / growth of the skin, nearly all hairs became ingrown,
and I am now nearly , nearly back to normal hair growth.
So I can understand that men even though they may think about wearing the finer things that fashion can give, that they leave it because some things just don't look or feel good with body hair. Don't forget that that is true for women also, the few women that happen to have body hair resembling that of men, hopefully not on their breasts,
, have a dilemma too, more so than men.
I lok at aTV advertising, with handsom men, usually sportingly built, but never do they have body hair!
Maybe they are ??Italians?? But don't they have heavy body hair? If you are not into finer clothing, then for a well known "manly " image hair is no problem, if you desire anything else, it is probably the biggest problem you will have. Bigger than the step to wear skirts out in public.
A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.
No there is a misunderstanding. People are as they are.Simple. Don't forget that not all men have heavy body hair growth. They are the lucky ones. If there was a choice, I for one would certainly NOT "ask" for heavy body hair. Take the face for example, having to shave every day, with those Dam-ed hard unpleasant stubbles 
in particular on the neck, is no pleasure. ( NOT: "Growing a beard") Letting your hair grow freely (called growing a beard) is one answer to avoid the daily toil and uncomfort of shaving and the stubbles which are quickly felt. Remember, men who have no heavy face hair CAN NOT "GROW" A BEARD no matter how much they try. So they would only be put down if they desired to have a beard growth on their face and necks.
. Actually no hair is not really true. I would "like" ( fiction) to have all my body hairs blond, soft, very thin and very very short, so that they are virtually non existent to the touch and the naked eye. As there is no possibility to change existing hair to fine hairs, then IF one wants to "get rid " of them, they have to be permanently removed.
