We tried. We really did. But the truth is that few men can flash their hairy chests at the world and get away clean. Even if they are Virender Sehwag. For those guys who must hang on to their chest hair, here are tips to pull off the Neanderthal look with panache

With Charles Darwin's great-great grand-daughter Ruth Padel in town, we might muster the courage to ask her whether her famed ancestor might have left out an important point in his ground-breaking theory on evolution: Were some men capable of skipping an important stage in evolution involving the loss of excess body hair?
They shed their tails (praise the Lord!), but much like their pre-historic relatives their mangle of matted chest hair remains their crowning glory. There they go, their shirts proudly unbuttoned, showing off fuzz that can only compel us to cry out: Is it a beast? A bear? No wait, it's Bigfoot.

Chunky doesn't equal hunky
We'd rather not see the sun reflected off a chunky gold medallion that has just emerged from a forest of human hair. Trust us when we say that nothing looks good against that black backdrop. If you must go down the Bappi Lahiri road, then we'd suggest keeping things simple and restricting the bling to small.
An open shirt is not a sign of virility
There was a time when a shirtless Akshay Kumar or an Anil Kapoor, chest hair et al, constituted a large part of several women's fantasies. But that was also the time when Doordarshan was the best thing to happen to TV and ice-cream cost a mere two bucks. So, button up guys. While providing a peek into chest hair might be fine, anything more is plain crass.
Scissors are a hairy man's friend
Why hide that neatly chiselled body (or that beer belly) under a layer of fur? While shaving all your chest hair might make you look like a hairless kitten, and waxing is so painful that it's enough that one half of humanity endures the ordeal, trimming chest hair with a pair of scissors might be your best option. Besides, experts claim that trimming excess body hair is more hygienic.
Hit the gym or hit the road
Stop showing us pictures of Hugh Jackman, Clive Owen and even the anaemic Robert Pattinson. Their universal appeal can be attributed to their chiseled bodies, and not as much to pectoral fuzz. If ridding yourself of chest hair seems like a blow to your masculinity, the very least you can do is to make good use of that treadmill instead of as a clothes dryer.
