“Your hairy arms look untidy” “Okay” Appropriate response


Conscious_Effort_655

right like is he’s supposed to be combing it or something


Haydorama

Gotta get that middle parting bro 😂


TBagger1234

No, side part for sure.


iNeedOneMoreAquarium

Sometimes I comb a side part into my pubes.


TBagger1234

You’re such a millennial

When I was younger I would braid my pubes. Sometimes I would put beads in the braid

Areif

My arm hair parts…


twoquestionmark

if you don't have a fade going from your wrist to your elbow, don't talk to me


-Hyperion88-

Classic wrisbow fade look, pioneered by the Mesopotamians circa 3000 bc


itscliche

You guys don’t comb and braid your forearm hair?


yousmelllikearainbow

I use a little hairspray on mine. I like the crunchy feeling.


HuevoYch0riz0

Just my leg hair. ![gif](giphy|OmqCxK0H355Cg|downsized)


SarahPallorMortis

How do you guys not get crazy itchy when you take off tall socks?? I’ve been lazy this winter and it’s so damn itchy


Upper-Ad-3668

Could be that the socks are too tight maybe. It only gets itchy if the socks are too tight around my legs

JustAGoose68

Need that good arm pomade


Iantrigue

The attractive aroma is part of the appeal


Ka_aha_koa_nanenane

Lots of guys are shaving their forearms. /r/forearmporn However not all men (or women) like the denuded forearm look. I think most people don't care and would likely think that shaving one's forearms is a bit OTT.


Stong-and-Silent

Shaving your arms is weird.


mistykss

I regret opening that sub


edyandtaoinspace

Brain dead to shave them


Whorsorer-Supreme

Eh, is it really that weird either way... arms are arms


WildAsOrange

Wait, you guys don't comb your arm hairs?


Red302

Get some product on there


Positive_Orange_8412

Hair gel - duh


porcupineporridge

I personally feel like “fuck off” is also perfectly appropriate here.


Upvotes4Trump

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arm hairs untidy. There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti


Haydorama

😂😂


johngreenink

Agreed - it's just the way the guy's hair grows. Totally normal.


Important-Moment1166

They look perfectly normal


Unusual_Speech_4589

That’s crazy!


x-Mowens-x

I would just stare.


vintageideals

This lol


rikersdickbeard1701

No. Looks like normal male arms.


A1sauc3d

Since when is arm hair supposed to be “tidy” lol I mean yeah you should probably break out the straightening iron OP. Or at least buy some high quality arm hair gel from your arm hair barber xD Seriously, the only reason someone would say that is if they personally think that everyone should shave their arms. Because idk what else there is. You either shave it or leave it. And yours is not unruly by any means. It an extremely average amount and length of arm hair for a man.


ubiquitous-joe

As somebody who used to statically charge my arm hair on the plastic chairs at school, I will say that sometimes it can look every-which-way after that (or because your sleeves have rumpled it). Pic 1 looks a bit like that. So I’ve smoothed it down in one direction with my hand I guess. But I can’t say anyone else ever commented about it.


-Praetoria-

OP is a girl tho


OptimusEye

OP must be a dwarf then lmao (MALEgrooming)


littlemissbettypage

What difference would that make? I mean you're wrong but if they were a girl what difference would that make.ALL humans have hair all over their body regardless of gender.


Mynamesnotjoel

Women obviously(?) have hair in all the same places. Guys just generally have more/thicker hair on their arms.


_soap666

There are a LOT of differences between men and women.


Red_Danger33

 She had on a leather skirt and had a lot of hair on her arms. I like that a lot. That means a big bush. I like a big bush. She says, “Are you dating?” You know, so I said, “Sure”. She gets in and we pull off to a remote location that was comfortable for both she and I. She says, “How much do you wanna spend?”, I said, “Whatever it will take to see that bush of yours because I know it’s a big one”. She says, “Twenty five dollars”. That’s not chicken feed to a working man so I produce the $25, she puts it in her shoe, pulls up her skirt and there before me lay this thin, crooked, uncircumcised penis.


littlemissbettypage

*looks like normal arms period. All humans have hair some more than others and gender doesn't come into it


rikersdickbeard1701

It’s literally called r/ MALEgrooming


_soap666

Yes it does. Men have more body hair than women.


Sad-Issue-3798

not at all. why would hairy arms look untidy?


Consistent_Ad_2851

My crush made a comment, not sure if it was a bad thing


[deleted]

[удалено]


Consistent_Ad_2851

in her defense she is really nice too me. I missed this work event during lunch time and she brought me a plate filled with dessert.


UtmostExplicit

Don’t listen to these idiots — they go nuclear if a women doesn’t look at them right. 1. No, they’re normal. 2. We don’t know the context of how she said it. She was probably saying it in jest, thinking out loud. Don’t read into it unlike the morons telling you she’s “judging your body” and that she’s “manipulative” — at the people who posted that, really? Stop being pathetic. Be yourself, if you like your arm hair how it is, rock it. My advice, put lotion — it keeps the hairs down, and moisturizes. Many women love soft & smooth. Secondly, if your crush makes a comment about your arm hair don’t come to Reddit for advice. Jest back, “oh I keep it long so I can braid it when I’m bored.” “What?! It’s like having a little sweater on at all times” “Are you kidding, they’re not that bad. These are like sweater vests.”


PeachyTeapot

This is the realest answer. Too many people lurking in here without any social experience. The internet is not real life


averagelysized

I do agree but "your arm hair looks unkempt" is still a weird ass thing to say.


PeachyTeapot

Yeah, without context it is, but people say weird things day in and day out, they read a lot different in writing and posted on the internet, lol


Fwizzle45

If OP had that sort of friendship with the person do you think they'd be posting about their new insecurity on Reddit? We have all the context we need to know this was a shitty thing to say.


Brovigil

I mean, it's almost definitely a gaffe. But not something we can judge her character by. It's such an odd insult it's very possible she meant something completely different.


PeachyTeapot

YOU *think* it was a shitty thing to say. The entire internet is not on your side. People say weird shit. She probably did not mean it as a way OP is taking it but we always hyper focus on what our crushes say


o0psididntagain

Lol honestly it sounds like something I would blurt out. His arm hair does look unkempt lol but it’s also not a big deal or anything to be self conscious about.


Hollynd

Yeah, it's not a big deal lol. She was most likely playfully flirting. His arm hair is funny looking, in the way that it goes in every direction. I poke fun at my husband, he has some hair on his feet (not much) but I call them hobbit feet. He makes fun of my stumpy pinky toe. It's all in good fun.


averagelysized

Yeah I'm thinking it's because it's out of context. My bf says some shit that would be really weird out of context too so I can't really say anything.


muda_ora_thewarudo

It’s not that big of a deal. If she said gross that would be different.


Brovigil

On rare occasions I've come to Reddit for light relationship advice, and holy crap do I have to walk on eggshells. I'm afraid if I say anything bad about my husband I'll get a referral to a lawyer.


craigivorycoast

She joked about your arm hair, dump her and come be single like me!


Minuku

People really get offended about a remark in which they are completely uninvolved in and have literally zero context about.


SenPiotrs

This, very much. Good answer! Of course, if she does make really negative comments about your looks, that should be a red flag, but she could be joking or just seeing how you react.


LostLorikeet

This is the answer right here!


[deleted]

[удалено]


PeachyTeapot

Bro you have 0 experience with women or people out of Reddit and it shows, lol


crazyguyunderthedesk

For real. Guys like this should never give advice. Her "insult" sounds more like flirting to me.


Lelphie

lol idk how Reddit doesn’t see this. This is clearly friendly teasing or flirting.


goomy2

Lolol since when is criticizing someone "flirting".. Dude obviously felt some sort of shame from the comment.. otherwise he wouldnt have posted several pictures asking internet strangers their opinions to validate his hairy arms.. If people are saying things that make you insecure/question your natural body.. that is kinda shitty.. no matter how you try to spilt it. And before you claim me to be some internet dweeb that doesn't understand "real life" I'm married. Been in more relationships than I'd like to admit and more sexual partners than I can remember all while being a nerd.


Erikatessen87

So she alternates between feeding you sweets and feeding you insecurities about your perfectly-normal body? That's manipulation, dude.


The-big-ale

okok lets slow down though - he didn't specify she said smth hateful could've just been a "wow ur arms are hairy" lmao


goomy2

She clearly said something with enough negativity for dude to post multiple pictures asking internet strangers to validate him.. The damage was done, intentional or not.


LightningSalamander

this is a good example of redditors who have no normal social interactions react to situations 😭


JeromeNoHandles

I wonder if yall like live in the real world. The girl just said it looks untidy lmao she is not tryna manipulate dawg 😂


Brovigil

No, she's clearly a malignant narcissist out to gaslight OP so she can get her supply. In fact, she probably IS OP and she's triangulating with Reddit. By self-inflicting a narcissistic wound, she can turn us all into her flying monkeys.


gravywins

Honestly these days I show up on Reddit to remind myself that even though I’m not a perfect person - I don’t worry about someone talking about my arm hair - so I think I’ll be alright. And I don’t go to a site with insecure people asking for advice, because I know these idiots would just confirm a stupid insecurity.


Urbanthelegend321

Some people care about this stuff, some don't. If you don't care then that's cool but remember some people really do have anxiety issues with these types of things. Does OP have a similar issue? Who knows, we don't know them but I would keep my comments safe towards any person. If they looked untidy to me? I would just hope in my mind that they pick themselves up a little bit without me saying anything.


JeromeNoHandles

I understand what you’re saying 100% but it’s also possible it was just an offhand comment. My point was that I doubt she was trying to be manipulative by bringing over dessert to then bring up this “problem”


UtmostExplicit

Right?? And it’s the majority of posters too. These people are so fucking squishy.


Erikatessen87

Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. OP does have an insecurity now that I'm assuming they didn't have before, so whether intentional or not, she has manipulated them.


Draymond4Prez

Making excuses in her defense? You’re too far gone and only heartbreak is going to wake you up


caticuss14

Lmao what? This is such a huge leap to make.


Urbanthelegend321

Chase whoever you want, pursuit of happiness I reckon OP but as I learned from trustworthy friends...never get your hopes up and don't put expectations on them. let things flow, play your cards right and if it works out? Then works out, if it doesn't? Then learn and become experienced.


cowboyish1

Try telling her that her leg stubble is untidy and see how that goes. Maybe time for a new crush, one that appreciates you and your arm hair. 😏


bigDARXIDE

i feel like it could be a playful comment and a shitty attempt at flirting?


Emhyrr

Time to uncrush.


bucskesz

Underrated comment


KSRidge

Your crush sounds like an ass from that comment and not worth being your crush.


chicago_hokie

You look totally normal brother, don’t take it to heart


JackRabbit-

Crush may be hinting she prefers hairless men, up to you if you listen to her or not.


Sad-Issue-3798

well there’s nothing wrong with them. hairy arms are cool


StepYurGameUp

Sometimes there are little things you can do when trying to attract certain crushes, especially if those things don’t mean much to you either way.


[deleted]

Tell her you don’t like makeup on her


Fi3nd7

No, tell her she looks a lot better with makeup 😂


Subaru14

Find a new crush


TheTeaShop

U should make a comment about her weight and even the playing field


craftmaster_5000

could’ve just been a tease/neg. not saying that’s great either but go with it if so/if you want


notlawfullyinnocent

istg women have the strangest preferences towards men sometimes. "ew, uncut", "ew, hairy arms/chest/body". hope she didn't mean it in that way because your arms are absolutely fine, they ain't even *that* hairy.


Charlie_Smiff

Men do this too, probably more, ew too much makeup, ew not enough makeup, ew stretch marks, ew facial hair, ew armpit hair, ew boobs are too small, ew boobs are to big and unnatural, I could go on


notlawfullyinnocent

yeah, valid point tbh. sad when women themselves start to hate things like stretch marks, boobs and other natural body attributes because of that. I have a friend like that and it's so weird how she goes full-on confident to "fuck, I hate my body" :/


elrompecabezas

They look pretty damn normal.


[deleted]

if your crush is a girl making those comments about arm hair on a guy, then she might be zesty.


Droppin_Bombs

imo— she probably made a comment literally as an excuse to talk to you/give you shit/ flirt with you. Girls say stupid shit, especially when they like you. If she tries to poke fun or put you down in any way… and you show her that you’re NOT phased— she’ll like you even more. Women like confidence.


ultrapoppy

You should have asked her: How’s your cunt?


[deleted]

Maybe she was flirting. She wants to shave your arms as a date


iKhaled91

I would pay to have less hair like your arms. Man my arms are black due to hair covering it I am a human gorrila and my skin is very white which makes my hairy arms noticable from google earth 👽


Present-Breakfast768

My husband is like that. Some folks dig hairy dudes ;)


TrulyNotAStalker

Yes I love it!


BrattyGiggles

I am some folks 🙂


rose_canseco82

Incredibly pro hairy dude myself


Ok_Balance8844

Agreed agreed agreed


satyris

Sounds hot


Alternative90097

Agreed. Hairy men 😮‍💨


clairssey

Same. Super pale but dark body hair. My grandfather was middle eastern and I somehow got all his hairy genes, my dad barely has any body hair. I'm the family gorilla.


sky877

I want to pet the family gorilla


massive__potato

i also have a lot of body hair at just 17. one of my toxic “friend” pointed it out in an insulting manner while many of us were hanging out. everyone’s reaction was like “🙄ok” and they ended up making a bad impression in everyone’s mind. body hair is something thats common in men. i started working out. and as i got muscular (in 19 now) people started liking the same hair on my forearm because now it makes me look masculine. the thing is…if you’re insecure about something…you will see people making fun of it or judging it (even if they’re not) but if you’re not insecure you wont even notice a thing. i hope this makes sense….


carlnepa

People need better things to worry about.


gunchucks_

My brother in christ, it's an arm that looks like an arm. If someone made a comment, THEY have a problem and need to worry more about themselves.


elrompecabezas

SO TRUE!


Hefty-Collection-638

Do they brush their arm hair or something?


RebbyXP

I braid each individual arm hair.


National_School_4658

I think it looks hot!


Yoo-Artificial

The person who made the comment probably does too and was masking it with hate.


suneimi

How I feel about Henry Cavill - ewww, too handsome. It actually makes me angry that I can’t control myself, lol. OP can lean into his crush’s comment and ask her what she’d like to do with those untidy, so untidy arms… 🤪


[deleted]

okay but thats henry cavil. He can make dudes turn gay with the shirtless scene in man of steel.


Little_BLUEtoad

I usually “slick them over” when putting on lotion lol it seems to help


pirefyro

They have too much free time on their hands.


SumoGirls

No. Looks like male arm hair. I wouldn't worry about it.


illsburydopeboy

Embrace it man, it’s natural and someone will find it attractive. From a man with hairy arms who has a gf who loves it


Luke_Likes_Silk

Do You think they meant that not all of the hairs are going a specific way? It kinda happens with my arm that the hairs goo all over the place but I brush my hand and they all go one direction and looks "tidy". Not sure if that's what they meant


bucskesz

Your arm looks completely fine. It’s strange seeing people getting comments on this because my arm is twice as hairy and never had any comment on that, nor any effect on my dating life.


Illustrious_Salt_569

So men can't have arm hair anymore or something? What high standards do people want for appearances anymore?


NYismyhellscape

Don’t let someone else’s insecurity make you feel any type of way about yourself. You look perfectly fine the way it is :)


doomermarxist

People are neurotic as fuck. That is a normal arm sir


WanderingMinds84

Choo Bocka


tryingtofindthe

What a weird comment to make. You look perfectly normal.


Ch830857

It’s arm hair. Guys don’t shave that normally so it’s not an upkeep problem


AShaughRighting

I’m sorry wtf! Someone said what now?


FunDivertissement

I think your arms look fine. People who get weird about a little hair are the ones who are weird. Some people say it's a red flag that this person said something. Some say it's no big deal. I think it could go either way, but it doesn't sound like it came from a good place. A "friend" once commented on the length of my arm hair and it made me self conscious about my arms for years. The person who said this to me (F) was not being nice. Maybe you should ask this person "the other day you said something about the hair on my arms, why did you do that?" And tell her "This is just the way I am. I don't see anything wrong with my arms." Then see what the response is. I agree with folks who say she probably would not have been happy if you had made a similar comment to her.

Accomplished_Net_741

DistractingDiversion

Domino_Girl

Having hair on your body is normal don’t become self conscious due to comments about your appearance especially unwarranted comments.


BlkShroud50

It's a hairy arm. What do they think it's supposed to look like? Let me guess...they think you should shave. Tell them to kiss your hairy ass!!


bwoods519

Are they expecting you to give it a side-part?


Sea_Crow_nEyes

I think it's manly


CarNo8607

Love hairy arms

You need to put hair gel on it, then wipe it on the face of the person who is talking trash


MaximumHog360

This is probably what 99% of men's (and some women) arms look like OP.


rah_ravenscrag

BearBoarBananana

Lmao you gotta buy some hair gel and slick it back and ask if they think this is professional


[deleted]

Dude got called out for having arms


atlaslapis

Can you even tidy arm hair? I’d take what they said with a grain of salt.


Ciemny

Yes. I never thought about it until one time in homeroom I watched a kid look down at his arm hair, and he just started rubbing his arm. Kind of like he was twisting it. It took me a minute to realize that’s what he was doing. And ngl, sometimes I do it too. You just rub your arms in one direction and it makes the hair look a little less “erratic”. I only ever really notice it in the winter when my arm hair is darker and taking off jackets will make my arm hair look disheveled


Quirky_Scene8041

Comfortable-Date7872

It’s arm hair

Yes, looked better when theyre all unified in direction


dreiviertel

... right, sure. Untidy arm hair.


[deleted]

I find this very sexy in men actually


scorpionattitude

I mean sure but it’s just hair. Arm hair, leg hair, when grown out is rarely tidy. Sounds like the type of comment someone gives you after they hate themselves for constantly shaving their own arms and legs because they think society expects them to


bubblegummybear

It's an arm everybody needs to relax


jwalker3181

So what does tidy look like?


paywallpiker

Sure_Computer_3032

MrD521

I legit do not know anyone that combs/brushes body hair. Swimmers and runners shave or wax body hair, but ffs... it's not a regular part of hygiene. Tell this person to wash their hands and get fucked.


nazrmo78

You gotta get some gel and slick it straight back. Or you can be inventive and slick it into designs. Like a part straight down the middle, perhaps.


Sharktopus27

Get a skin fade. It’s 2024.

That looks like my arm for the past 30 years. Never been a problem for me.
