Adonis in Running Shoes

I've lost over 37 lbs since March. I've been running since April. I'm noticeably leaner & have had to start buying new clothes that fit me better. I think I'm looking pretty good. I'm not about to get a swelled head about it though...

The other morning DW & I are lying in bed. It's about 6 in the morning. Out of the blue she's says "I can't believe how hairy your back is. I'm married to a gorilla." I do have a kind of sweater-at-the-beach kind of look. Yesterday she mentioned it's a good thing I have a good personality because she wouldn't have ordinarily have married such a hairy guy. Apparently she doesn't like my chest hair either. I do cut the hair on my head very short. I use the shortest attachment on the clippers. I like it because it's low maintenance but, maybe the short hairstyle accentuates the length of the pelt on my chest & back.

What's a fella to do? Should I do something about it? Maybe pay DD to run the clippers down my back? Is that too gross? I know guys pay to have their backs waxed. It just seems kind of effeminate plus, I am a cheapskate. Maybe I'll try Nair for Men. What about the chest hair? Cut if off or trim it? Remember what happened to Samson.

I also got laughed at by a couple of teenage girls Sunday night while I was running. Part of me sees myself as a newly trimmed down, cool dad with the good leg definition. Maybe being covered in sweat, wearing the bright orange vest, & the antenna like effect of my ears sticking out from the croakies & headphones makes for a funny appearance.

Oh well. I can take it. I'm never going to be Adonis in running shoes. I've never wanted to look like a refugee from the pages of GQ. I have a good self image. If DW wants a less hairier husband, I'm open to suggestions. If DD wants to be my fashion consultant as I buy new clothes for the smaller me I'll listen. I'm the same guy I've always been. Bring it on, ladies.
