A lot of this discussion has to do with issues that 'hairy guys' in general have. I learned a long time ago that some women were literally repulsed by hairy guys (I can understand that with slobby, hairy guys), while some women were totally turned on by it, almost to the point of being a fetish.
It seems the strategy for hairy guys is to just be as clean cut as possible, embrace your hair (I wear a goatee), and realize who your 'market audience' is.
