Seems like this article is missing information on chest hair patterns for Asian, Middle Eastern (Semitic), and Native American men -- all groups that I have heard have patterns that differ from Caucasian & Negro men. But that's my anecdotal experience; presumably there are citable scientific studies that have accurate surveys. Given what's stated in the article about Caucasian vs. Negro men, there probably are significant differences between other groups. Data on those others would be a useful addition to this article.

Also, the study cited on Negro men seems pretty small -- only 60 samples. A larger study would be better.T-bonham (talk) 00:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The image of chest hair patterns should really say something like "some patterns." I've seen thousands of guys' hairy chests that followed much different patterns than that. Look at Zachary Quinto (from the tv show "Heroes") for example. His pattern is like a V shape. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.211.66 (talk) 16:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but there are also some links now that provide resources with numerous images, some based upon the actual chest hair patterns of the men being studied. I'd also like to add that the V pattern has been a huge turn on for me, personally, since I saw Nicholas Cage in "Valley Girl." Unfortunately, I learned years later that he shaved it into that pattern when the director asked him to wax it to look more like a teenager (which the character was supposed to be). He compromised by shaving it into a pattern, which he said that a Punk Rocker would probably do just to be different. Still pretty sexy, eh?  : ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.232.199 (talk) 23:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read that when chest hair connects with beard catchin up the neck, it is actually chest hair up to the adam apple. It goes without saying that most these men shave these hair off up to where the chest begins, because they are on the neck regardless of their quality. It is just curious about the idea of them being of the same kind as chest hair, is this true?

Is the belly hair a different kind of hair? I think they are the same as when they connect in hairier men, the look the same and reach similar lengths with similar cycles. So I think lower neck hair belongs to the pattern of developement of chest hair rather than beard, that has its own pattern and is also coarser with a longer cycle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.15.248.55 (talk) 14:09, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
