Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair?

What happens with your body after the age your ancestors procreated has nothing to do with evolutionary advantage.

I’m assuming OP’s a man as I don’t know any women this has happened to. Men can make babies their whole life, not like women who go through menopause. I know a guy that’s 70, his wife is 30 and their son is 9.
All that to say, it’s still a little odd this unattractive trait strikes men who can, and often are, looking for mates and making babies.

“Unattractive” is highly culturally specific though. Ear hair is so strongly correlated with testosterone levels, there’s gotta be some people that think it’s virile and attractive.
