Abdomen picture question + hairy body :(
Okay, I wanted to know two things
when i see all ofyou in your pictures taking shots of your abdomen, are you keeping them really tight?
When i take a look at my skinny scrawny self that can do a maximum bench press of 110 pounds (6 feet tall, no muscle no ass nothing), and i look at my abs i can tighten in and there is a little bulge in the bottom portion of the abs, and when i release my abdomen muscles completely it becomes pudgey and round like an oval.
When you're fit, is it supposed to be straight even when you let go of your abs?
P.S. do the majority of girls these days hate bodies that are very hairy because i look at everybody's pictures and i notice that i am very hairy (HAIR EVERYWHERE) and i'm only 19, and i look at my dad who is 58 and he is so hairy (even when i was like 4), and it makes me depressed because it's not cool...it's a real image breaker and i think it may have played a role in my ex not liking me anymore (i never took my shirt off before until we started dating and i have lots of acne on my back)

You are worrying too much. Some of them like smoother, some harier. It doesn't really matter. If they like you they like you...no matter if you are hairy or not.
The reason people remove hair for photos - to be able to see the muscle or fat or whatever so they know what they need to work on.
Now about the skinny thing. The answer is clear. What you've been doing isn't working the best for you. You've got to eat more and find a new lifting plan that will give you results. We all have our own genetic tendancies to work with, around, or against. Unless you want to look like a skeleton, stop worrying about a little belly fat. Start eating to grow. As you gain muscle, you will get rid of the fat more easily. If you don't have any muscle, concentrating on fat burning will do nothing but make you smaller with less muscle definition and smoother looking.

My friends refer to me as a Marpet, half man half carpet. It is a proven fact that the Hairier you the smarter you are.

and the smarter you are, the less chicks you get?
I WANT CHICKS AND I AM 19 AND IU AHVE GOTTEN NOTHING!#$*U!$*(@U$(*@$U(@*$U*(@$U*(@
I think that has helped to why my girlfriend dumped me as she didn't know for like 3 years that i had a hairy body (actually it wasn't hairy as before when i was 16 but you know what i mean) and then when we were in bed i took off the shirt at night (though it was always dark) i was always self-conscious about it because I know for a fact she doens't like hairy chests
Teach me how to be a playa plz

My hairy legs help keep my squat suit in place
I'm a hairy bastard and the only time i'll shave is if I'm doing some progress pics.

how old are y'all? I'm 19 and that's young....whereas all my white cuzzins are like hairless on chest and back and stuff then when you see me you thought you saw a grizzly caveman or something. I've seen people's faces in shock when they see my boyish face (after shaving of course), and then my body and they are like "!!!! DAMN YOU ARE HAIRY EWWWWW" and then my spirit level goes down 20 points --- no.

Women like men who aren't self conscious and are secure in their manhood.
That's no joke either.

It all comes down to confidance. If you are confidant you will project it and people will notice. If your body hair is bringing you down why not look into some hair removal options. The one off of the 40 year old virgin looked pretty good.

hey dojo. I was always kinda hairy in the legs and head (really thick hair, i've broken clippers at the place i get my haircut), but when i started lifting (around age 19), i noticed some sort of overall testosterone increase in my body and my chest and back started getting pretty hairy also. I also have a problem with this so I bought a trimmer (not expensive, i think like $30) and use it to cut off the hair on my chest and back. A more expensive trimmer does a better job i am sure. (Disclaimer: you probably have to be pretty flexible to reach the middle of your back, you said you are skinny so hopefully that isn't a problem) My back hair grows back in about 4 days while it takes a lot longer for my chest. Of course, if a girl were to touch my chest/back, she would notice stubble and it would get kinda awkward so i remember to trim before a date in case things get physical later...anyway, we cant help genetics, and our bodies are always changing...recently (i am 21) i have noticed there is a trail of hair going from my beard to my chest hair now so i have to shave that now...
anyway, its really up to you...i am sure when i have the money i will probably go in for back waxes or something but for right now that seems like too much...that could be an option for you...i am Indian so girls of my ethnicity are used to hairy guys so i dont feel that it is necessary to trim my hair down but i mainly do it now to see how muscles in my back and abs are progressing...i have heard products like Nair do not work for thick hair but i have never tried, maybe that is an option also...i would not shave with a razor (Mach3 or something) because the hair will look much darker (also possibly thicker) when it grows back and cause more irritation (i.e. acne which you said you already have a problem with). at any rate, good luck.
