What is it with guys being able to produce belly button lint?

I know this is a weird question but this has me perplexed.

For instance, the boyfriend's belly button does this and he's gotten into the habit of giving it to me. It started one day a week ago when he called me into the room saying he had a "surprise" for me and then he gave me this clump of lint and walked away. He's done this a bunch of times now and then for the past few days nothing... until yesterday when I got an email with a picture of this HUGE clump of lint. He says he's been saving it up for me...

Why do men do this?

How can it be stopped?

Do I need to change his laundry deterrent or something?

I think if he's deterred from doing his laundry, that could be the source of the problem.

My husband produces a lot of BBL too

but he doesn't gift it to me

2/23/2012 2:58:09 PM

HAHA I do this to my girlfriend too.

She fucking hates it.

I'm a hairy guy, so mine is usually a mix of lint and chest hair.

Some of them look like mutant spiders wearing clothes.

2/23/2012 2:58:32 PM

Does he have a hairy belly?

2/23/2012 2:58:34 PM

i, too, produce belly button lint

2/23/2012 2:59:20 PM

i too produce BBL and sometimes give it to my gf.


it's produced from the friction between the shirt and chest/belly. wearing looser fitting shirts produces less.

2/23/2012 3:02:45 PM

i smear my ear lint all over my gf

yeah, he's definitely hairy.

is it a hairy guy thing then?

2/23/2012 3:04:49 PM

Tell him to shave his happy trail.

2/23/2012 3:04:52 PM

Being a sweaty person helps too.

The moisture that collects in your belly button is what attracts and causes the lint to stick.

2/23/2012 3:04:54 PM

Ladies if your belly button's not an innie, then I'm outie













Now hop in my minivan, let's get rowdy

2/23/2012 3:06:11 PM

Why is mine always navy blue regardless of the color I'm wearing?

2/23/2012 3:10:02 PM

I have a flat stomach that doesn't rub against the shirt

and I shave my belly.



No belly button lint.

2/23/2012 3:16:44 PM

I shave mine as well.

I think the problem is the long pubes that I comb upwards so they peek above my belt.

2/23/2012 3:18:33 PM

the theories offered in this thread don't sit well with me.

I wear form-fitting cotton clothing a lot.

I sweat probably more than the average bear.

yet I rarely, if ever, have BBL.

2/23/2012 3:19:01 PM

Bears don't sweat, unless you're referring to the hairy gay men

2/23/2012 3:21:15 PM

I, too, have a fairly hairy chest and produce mutant clothed spiders from my navel.

lol, mine too.

You guys are gross. The only hair on a mans body should be on his head, face, arms, legs, and ballsack.

2/23/2012 3:23:25 PM

^Why? I won't let my husband shave his chest hair. It's manly.

[Edited on February 23, 2012 at 3:24 PM. Reason : ]

2/23/2012 3:24:36 PM

^ it is only gross when they try to shave that shit... feels like fucking a piece of Velcro

2/23/2012 3:24:59 PM

I shave my chest and arm pits every summer. Keeps me sleek and streamlined.

2/23/2012 3:25:40 PM

I call a man a fag in my head anytime I see they shave their pits.

So you are saying you shave your chest and/or back?

2/23/2012 3:28:36 PM

once a summer? are you talking peach fuzz? bc I think it is not very appealing when a dude shaves... but I don't care until a guy crosses the shaving their arm threshold... ugh that is weird.


I just hate stubbles so much

2/23/2012 3:28:51 PM

It's called having a gut...

[Edited on February 23, 2012 at 3:29 PM. Reason : and you can blame beer]

2/23/2012 3:29:39 PM

First of all, I don't have back hair, because I'm not a neanderthal. As for the chest hair, yes, yes I do.

2/23/2012 3:29:54 PM

do you shave daily?

2/23/2012 3:30:46 PM

My face, yes. My chest, biweekly, more often if I'll be spending significant time without a shirt.

2/23/2012 3:31:38 PM

I feel like that is a lose lose situation here.

If you shave your chest and other things every few days, you get the god awful stubble.

But if you shave daily, you will be smooth, but spend more time in the bathroom than I do, and that is also not something I like in men. I really think there is a correlation b/t shaving and a man's metrosexualism/overgrooming.

au natural baby (with the needed hedge trimming of course)

[Edited on February 23, 2012 at 3:35 PM. Reason : trimming]

2/23/2012 3:43:41 PM

2/23/2012 3:45:15 PM

2/23/2012 3:45:57 PM

^^^this I know.

[Edited on February 23, 2012 at 3:49 PM. Reason : yes, I am that retarded]

[Edited on February 23, 2012 at 3:52 PM. Reason : yes, I am that fucking retarded]

Look in your closet. Half your shits probably blue or black. Same reason 1/2 black people look more black than white.

in 100 years your family tree will look like this

Quote :

"ix generations after a French orphan named Martin Fugate settled on the banks of eastern Kentucky's Troublesome Creek with his redheaded American bride, his great-great-great great grandson was born in a modern hospital not far from where the creek still runs. The boy inherited his father's lankiness and his mother's slightly nasal way of speaking. What he got from Martin Fugate was dark blue skin. "It was almost purple," his father recalls."
