Genetics and indirectly, due alot to genetics, hormones.
People decended from asian stock tend to have less body hair overall than caucasians from northern european descent. My sister visited China when it was first opening up to westerners. Her boyfriend was constantly sourounded by children cause he had hair like robin williams on his legs. They were fascinated by him because they had never seen anyone with hair like that before.
Post menopause, some women start to lose their hair as the ratio of testosteron to estrogen increases very similar to male pattern baldness.
Also, local grooming customs. I will NEVER forget the day in college I came back to my dorm room to find my roomate and several other guys from the football team sitting in a circle shaving each others backs...
I went and studied at the library for a while.
I think it's partly the whole bodybuilding scene. Guys started shaving body hair off to better show off muscle definition.

I'm a fan of anything from hairless to somewhat fuzzy. If a guy is one step from being a gorilla, though, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop dating him.
On the subject of shaving/waxing chests, can I just say: ewewewewewew. ew.
Because what goes off, must come back. My brother shaves his chest (claims his girlfriend likes it that way) and insists upon walking around in the summer with no shirt on. That guy gets THE WORST razor burn I have ever seen. It's just awful to see him walking around with a huge red rash from the last time he shaved with the stubble already growing in.
Unless you could go to the barbers and get your chest hair thinned, I'll take you au natural, as long as your brain is sexy.

My husband put together a KISS cover band for my birthday a few years back. With full on costmes and wigs. He used a thick black hairy chest wig to pull off his role as Paul Stanley.
I have not asked him to don the costume since, so I guess in general I prefer the less hairy. But I do enjoy facial hair quite a bit.

Bein female I gotta get my 2 cents in here.
Well, first time I saw Adam's chest as he was puttin the guns on with adhesive tape-I went "OHHHHHH". Then "Owwwwww that hurt a lot" when he pulled it off.
If you look at Nathan's chest real good, especially in the BDM, he has a bit of a shadow right in the middle-looks like it was taken off for the "chest n' pecs" wave scene and he's awfully nice lookin and makes my heart go pitter patter.
Personally I like enough on a guy to run your fingers thru it but not a hairy ape on the back etc.
I did get a good laugh out of this thread. Thanks a lot!

I think men (and shallow women) worry more about the hair than necessary. Many bald men are very sexy, a la Connery, Ben Kingsley, Michael Jordan, and, of course, Patrick Stewart. However, I don't particularly care for the smooth-chested man. I like a nice chest hair, like Adam Baldwin showed off in "Jaynestown" when he ransacked the sickbay looking for tape.

Thanks for the feedback all.
Looks like on balance,
Hairy = not an issue
Not Hairy = not an issue
Now to be fair and duly reciprocal,

CHARLIETHEBLOODY "..if we didn't ever start shaving our legs the hair would be soft and discreet but since we're told at a young age that its disgusting to have even a little bit of hair we end up with stubble and waxing and ingrowing hairs. now we're expected to be bald downstairs too like an 8 year old. its sick, and totally unrealistic."
I totally agree, and that's at the root of my original post. I'll admit, seeing a woman with full underarm hair can give me a twinge, but that's the result of socialization, and is by no universal. I can quickly get over it too. I mean, if Summer, or any of the womenfolk in the cast were au-natural, fully -ahem- haired, I could get over it real quick.
Thanks again for the interestin' replies!

I sorta like guys with *some* hair- not the whole Greek look where they are Robin Williams hairy all over, but after seeing Adam Baldwin with his shirt off 
I can safely say that some hair is OK.
Some guys are naturally hairless, my fiancee's like that.
I personally don't like Sean tho not because he's hairless or too hairy but because he just looks so damn scrawny, there's no muscle on the boy!
