The good folks over at the gay dating app SCRUFF have put together a handy map ranking all 50 states from hairy to smooth because, well, why not? Information like this could be very useful for countless gay men as they plan their upcoming summer vacations.
Interestingly, states with colder winters tend to be hairier. Vermont ranked #1 for the most hairy, followed by Maine, Oregon, New Hampshire, and West Virginia.

Hawaii was ranked as the smoothest state, which doesn’t surprise us, followed by Puerto Rico, Nevada, Alaska (wild card!), and South Dakota.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But the SCRUFFtistics don’t stop there.
288 cities were also ranked from hairy to smooth. Everett, WA ranked the most hirsute city in the nation, followed by Evansville, IN, Portland, OR, Manchester, NH, and Alexandria, VA.
As for the least hair cities, Fayetteville, NC was found to be the smoothest metropolitan, following by North Las Vegas, NV, Murrieta, GA, Elk Grove, CA, and Temecula, CA.
Check out the maps below.

So you came to this conclusion just because of the number of men who were on hook up apps like Scruff? LOL find a better way to find your data and evidence.

I don’t think this was meant to be some groundbreaking scientific study. Relax.

Cue Monty Python singing “I am a lumberjack….”

Mmmmm…I love fur. Love to just rub my face all over furry stomachs and chests.

Hairy is very sexy up to a point beyond which it can be a turn-off and can even make hygiene difficult if you know what I mean.

Count me in the fur fanclub.

So Cool

First we had blue states and red states; now we have hairy states and and smooth states. Interestingly, Hawaii and Alaska are not included on the map of the 50 states, but Puerto Rico (which is not a state) was included in the “study”. Perhaps the good folks over at SCRUFF could study geography next. Just a thought.

I’m moving to Everett, WA asap!!!

I can attest to Portland, OR as a leader in “beard-per-capita”. The clean shaven VS beard owner seems to be 30/70. Quite amazing, beard lovers feel free to make a pilgrimage!

@Giancarlo85: For a change I am with you on this one, Giancarlo. For me, basically there is no such thing as too smooth – well, maybe leave armpits untouched for a bit of masculine musk. To each his own, certainly, and I everyone should be proud of who they are. But I cast my vote for, preferably, naturally hairless, and failing that, artificially hairless.

@jwtraveler: Alaska and Hawaii are there, jw – just scroll west on the interactive map.

Yet another reason for me to want to live in Portland. *sigh*

I would love to work on these types of studies instead of clinical trials! I think it’s funny they mention Fayetteville, NC is a metropolitan city.

So I live in the great hairy state of New Jersey! I’ve always loved hairy chested men I don’t like smooth at all. There is nothing sexier than a hairy man! A smooth man is nothing sexy for me. I have a hairy chest and so does my husband. We enjoy walking the boardwalk and seeing all the shirtless hairy chested men. I guess it’s our hobby hahaha.

I can go either way! Some guys look “right” one way, some guys the other.
But the first time I ever visited Seattle (back in the Kurt Cobain era) I thought “why do they have so many homeless guys here?” Seems like every guy had a beard, and disheveled clothing usually with flannel shirts. At first I expected to be asked for a quarter or a cigarette every minute! It took some getting used to because back on the East Coast, that look = homeless at the time. How things change in 20 years. Now it’s called the “lumbersexual” look and is pretty ubiquitous.

@Giancarlo85: More bears for me then.

So what you’re saying is I need to move to Maine?

I would donate my last Dollar if younger Gay Men would quit using, saying, writing EWW.

@LuckyboyLA:
I agree. It sounds like high school “talk.”
Giancarlo85
@dm10003: Good for you! More smooth guys for me then… but then again, my androgynous bf is all I need 🙂
@LuckyboyLA: Don’t care. I’ll keep saying it.

But the thing is, how often does a hairy guy prefer a smooth guy? I feel like they just go after guys who are like them :/

@Giancarlo85:
You have a boyfriend and you are still so mean???!?!? Wow.
Giancarlo85
@lauraspencer: Not as mean as a self depreciating a-hole like you.
notevenwrong
Hmmm, love the hairy. And smooth if it’s mostly natural. Not so much into depilated guys, though I wouldn’t kick a hot one out of bed either.
Jay Moorhead
maybe I should move to the northeast.
Andrew Rankin
C’mon the furries. ð???
Benj Curtis
Of course Portlands the hairiest
