The open descrimination of hairy men

I am a hairy man.

And I’m willing to publicly acknowledge that fact. I’m not admitting to it because that would imply it’s a crime to have a hairy chest.

Others see it differently.

Over the past few months, I’ve periodically checked magazines (Glamour and Cosmo) from a co-worker for humorous articles about sex advice. What got me hooked was how a woman was to use a donut to entice a man sexually.

And it had nothing to do with the man eating it.

Sorry ladies, donuts in my mouth beat donuts on my you-know-what.

Anyway, while breezing through these trashy magazines, I began to notice how the men are portrayed. Don’t ask why, I’m a happily married, heterosexual father. So while looking at men was a bit odd at first, it became suddenly apparent that nearly all the men have no hair on their chest.

I now call them “bald men” but maybe “boys” is a better term.

Back to the story, last month set me off in a quest to gather more empirical evidence to support my findings. Last month showed an impressive 2 men with hairy chests. But one was a “old, wrinkly, perverted nudist” in an ad.

But now I’ll prove to you that current women’s magazines (not those kind though) are biased towards a bald boy. I saw end the discrimination against hairy men.

Hairy men unite!


Glamour – August 2006 issue
Men with hair on their chest = 2
“Men” with no hair on their chest = 3 ½*

* I only count those men with no shirts on and have a visible chest. The ½ for this issue is from a man wearing a shirt that was unbuttoned down the front and hanging open.


Cosmo – August 2006 issue
Men with hair on their chest = 2
“Men” with no hair on their chest = 9*

* One "man" had his picture in there twice. I only counted him once.
