Genetics: This is definitely an hereditary issue. If you are sexual mature in all other areas then you probably will have no hair on your chest. Some men have a lot and others have none. It is all in your genes from your family

Not much: As in, unfortunately there's not much you can do to develop chest hair. This is mostly genetically determined, and if you are 23 years old and have no chest hair, there is unlikely any reasonable intervention you can undertake to promote growth right now.

No magic, Jeremy: Around 5% of men in the United States have no chest hair -- it's called "naturally smooth". Many women say they prefer this. We almost never go bald. Paul Newman, the most-admired male physical specimen of his era, remarked on being like this. Trim and tone what you've got, embrace your personal genetics, and be aware than many hairy guys would trade with you.
