8 Great Things About Being A Hairless Guy
Jasmeralda

I’m a 19 year old male, and I am a hairless individual. I mean, I still have a full head of hair, eye brows, and some hair on my legs, but compared to the average guy, I’m like a waxed dolphin. I haven't grown a beard my entire life, I shave my lip maybe twice a month, and my torso may as well be a baby’s bottom. I just am naturally smooth. There’s nothing wrong with being hairy, but only recently am I realizing there’s nothing being hairless either. I’m used to so many guys poking fun at my lack of hair, but here’s 8 reasons why it’s great being a hairless guy:

1. You’re skin is silky smooth.

Maybe I’m just feminine, but I like soft and smooth textures.

2. People can’t pluck your hair.

Guys, you all have experienced it. Be it your dad, brother or friend, when there’s hair on your arms or legs, your always at threat of having that hair pulled. Being hairless just gives me one less thing to worry about.

3. My girlfriend loves my hairlessness.

Maybe not all girls are like this, but my girlfriend loves my skin being smooth, soft and hair free. She enjoys not feeling like she’s squeezing a rug whenever she hugs me.

4. It’s much easier to get clean.

After going to a beach, a few of my companions who have the gift of growing hair had sand caked in their beards, on their legs and on their arms. Aside from a little bit of sand caught in my legs, the beach stayed at the beach rather than on my body.

5. You don’t have to shave.

One thing I have always appreciated to a certain extent is the fact that I almost never have to shave. This massively simplifies my life, where I can just get up and walk straight out the door (with clothes on, of course). Not to mention that I avoid any shaving cuts.

6. Your hair doesn’t get caught.

Observing one of my good and hairy friends, I’ve noticed his constant issue of having hair caught in his bracelets, watch and socks among many other objects. Just as bad as having someone pull your hair, but made worse by the fact that this occurs from inanimate objects. I’ll just check this off the list of things I need to worry about.

7. It's easier to dry off.

Hair just takes a very long to dry, and if you're more on the hairy side, it can be a real pain when using a towel after showering or swimming. Lucky for me, being the hairless individual that I am, I can practically step out of water and be instantly dry.

8. You can (technically) move faster.

Maybe it’s a stretch, but hairless means less drag from air and water, not to mention less weight on your body. This provides optimal conditions for speed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
