A member asked:
Is it normal and ok for a man to be really hairy if it's genetically not supposed to be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whoa: Being hairy is the result of a complex array of genes that may not be expressed in other members of your family. Dad and maternal granddad can be smooth and junior can grow up luxuriating in body hair. Anyone telling you otherwise is offering pseudoscience.
