I'm like a godamned Chewbacca

So, I am a hairy dude. I have always been hairy.
I got chest hair in grade 8, and it pretty much kept going from there. I have to shave right up to under my eyes, and my arms look like Tina Turner in the 80s. (Like, I am not Jojo the dog face or whatever, the hair on my face isn't super thick up to my eyes, but you notice it if I don't shave it regularly.) Oddly enough, there are places where I don't grow a lot of hair, like my back and ass and my upper lip. Also my feet are fairly naked. But the front of me is a jungle.
I was ok with the chest hair, but it has now started advancing up my neck. It pokes out of the tops of my shirts. I had always had a beard, so it was not always noticeable, but I am trying to not have a beard for awhile (it's tough) and now it's quite obvious. Also, hair on the back of my neck is growing faster that hemp at Woody Harleson's. And I have noticed my biceps are starting to get pretty hairy.
My question, H/A, is if there is anything I can do to halt this, short of shaving or lasers. Diet? Zen meditation? Gimme some help!

Be careful with nair and similar products. According to one of my brothers, it is more than capable of leaving bad rashes.
Short of laser removal, the hair will keep growing back. Your best bet is to shave it down pretty close then waxing it. That's gonna be the most effective way to keep the hair down for longer amounts of time.

Get a shaver and trim it on your chest, making sure you leave some hair there, if it is cut shorter it will look far more appealing.
Satans..... hints.....
You are a man. It is there for a reason. You will be colder without it.
What have you "heard from the ladies"? Just friend ladies? You will find plenty of women who like their men manly with all the hair you can supply.
I would assume he's "heard from the ladies" that body hair is gross without actually having been told that about his own.
Just wait til she's twirling your chest hair around her finger while the two of you lie in a glistening heap of post-coitus bliss... take that, popular opinion.
If it bothers you, just trim in places that are appropriate, and wax in places that are decentralized...
...As in: there's no reason to wax your chest if you're naturally hairy, unless you're willing to go all the way... like all the way. However, you can sculpt (or man-scape) certain areas like your shoulders and back so that you don't look quite so wookie.
Same with the happy parts. You're going to look like a goon if you go Bic on the boys-ular area but still have Sherwood Forest on your legs... so just trim and fade so it looks somewhat natural.
That's pretty much the decision you have to make: Fairly-involved maintenance or being content with what the man upstairs gave ya.
This is definitely an option. It comes with three trim guards so you can just shorten the hair, or you can take off the guard and shave anywhere on your body. You can just keep this in the shower and run it over your biceps/wherever else for a nice, easy shave in the shower. You can also use the guards to maybe trim up your chest hair a little bit, maybe it'll be less noticeable that way.
I agree with Chanus, too, I'd avoid doing anything like waxing your chest. I've gone that route before and it usually just ends up looking a bit silly if you're hairy elsewhere -- not to mention, at least with me, by about a week later stubble is already starting to show up. Oh, it's also expensive!
You could definitely get your upper arms waxed if you wanted to, though. It'd be less expensive and if the hair isn't as bad as on your chest it'd probably last longer. On the other hand, you can just use something like that Bodygroom and not have to pay once a month.
Not to mention the acne if you don't do it exactly right... not that I know or anything. :P
This, too! I almost forgot about that. Geez. I followed EVERY possible instruction when I got my chest and stomach waxed and my chest ended up with terrible red bumps all over it. Didn't go away for about four days.
Needless to say, it made getting waxed pointless since I didn't want to take my shirt off during that period. I learned a valuable lesson: Some people just react badly to wax.
Edit: As for matthasaproblem, it doesn't really hurt that bad. If you do decide to get waxed, don't be scared. The first strip is the worst. I'm not going to say it's pleasant or no big deal, but it honestly doesn't hurt that bad unless the person doing it isn't that good.
And I'm not waxing down there.
OP: You would go for spot laser treatment, which will limit the hair in the areas you don't want it.
That and shave your balls... makes your johnson look bigger. :P
Fixed.
Yes they are the same technically, but they are not called Chewbacca's.
I let my hair go man. I trim it up for the most part but hair is hair.
It's gonna go places it wants to go.

This looks sweet. Amazon
I have used that. It works Great. There is very little it can't handle. Any normal agitation it causes lasts a Day at most (Like whenever you shave your face if you are doing it once every 4 days or longer). I highly recommend it.
tblox, you probably knew this, but just to clarify:
It's going to be stiffer when it grows back because it's shorter, not because of some magical change from shaving.
Classic example is bamboo stick--a one-foot bamboo pole is more difficult to bend ("bristlier") than a 6 foot pole.
Shaving isn't changing the composition of you hair/the way it grows, just it's length.
Yeah, I do highly recommend this thing.
I'm a pretty hairy guy, too (pretty much the same areas you mentioned) -- and this thing works perfectly. Shaving is a pain, waxing is a pain, but taking the Bodygroom to trim down the hair once a week or so is easy as pie. Plus, no irritating stubble.
As bad as you think the hair is now, it's 10x worse when you shave or wax and then go to cuddle up to your significant other only to have them turn away because your stubble is rubbing them raw. Not fun.
C'mon now. Do you know where you are?
But yeah, trim it up where you don't want it, but let it go for the most part.
