My brother's girlfriend wants him to wax the hair on his chest. I told him he shouldn't do it. What would you do if a girl you were seriously in love with asked you to go hairless?

How do you know she hasn't asked me already? I could be as smooth as a baby's bottom underneath these leather pants and vest. I'll never tell.

But let's not talk about me, let's talk about you.

Why are you and your brother discussing the personal details of his relationship? Call me old-fashioned, but that's a little weird, especially if you're talking about things like body hair and sex. No, you weren't talking explicitly about sex, but that's the undercurrent here. I'm guessing his chest isn't the only area she wants waxed.

More importantly, what you think he should do is irrelevant, isn't it? Maybe he asked for your input, maybe he didn't, but surely he can make his own decisions. If your boyfriend asked you to pierce your nipples, would you want your brother giving you his opinion about whether or not to do it? I doubt it.

Sounds like maybe you're being a little protective of him, which is well-intentioned but unnecessary. He's a big boy; let him make his own decisions, not just about semi-intimate stuff like this, but all of it. Who knows? He might've asked her to wax first. I doubt you know all the ins and outs of their relationship.

You can lend an ear and a shoulder to your brother, sure, but few people want unsolicited advice, and some don't really want it even when they ask for it. So my advice to you is to chill on telling him what to do.

As a naturally hairless man, I pity all you unevolved hirsute types. Give me the smooth, sleek lines of the Alopecia "sufferer" any day. Welcome to the future.

There's nothing sexier than a woman with hair on her back.

Oh Cary, I *know* what you meant to say was "There's nothing sexier than a woman on her back, with hair." And I'm guessing the hair is optional.

Cary McNeal

Right on both counts, Liz.

Thanks for the comment.

Cary, thank you for the image of you, hairless, in leather pants and vest! Great answer is just a bonus!
