Okay, I’m just now noticing something that I realize I had been seeing on a whole bunch of the male actors, in the original series, and other shows form that general era:
Was there something in the water, back in the 60s and 70s that made dudes’ arms hairier? Because these motherfuckers have sweater levels of hair, on the ol’ forearms.
I don’t even think Shatner has it anymore. Is age-related arm baldness a thing? I guess, now that I think about it, my legs might be a bit less hairy in middle age than they were, when I was 19. But that could be my imagination. And I don’t think my arms are any less hairy.
But thing is, my arms aren’t NEARLY as hairy as actors you’d see in the 60s through the early 80s. And yet, now, there is basically no visible arm hair on male actors. And I routinely see grown men with basically zero arm hair, out in the world. Are people shaving that shit? IS there something happening to make people grow less body hair?
