Grooming

Do the ladies prefer a man who is groomed, ie shaved below? Or is it insignificant?

Just shave or trim it. Trust me. They'll appreciate it.

Some do for sure but I shudder at the thought and am lucky my wife has a hair fetish because I'm as primal as they come and if I shaved any particular place would look absolutely retarded having one bald spot on a human grizzlybears body. Im oldschool hippie and while I appreciate a woman in any state of naturalness or smoothness she chooses, think guys are meant to be hairy and its just too weird and alien to be otherwise. Might take the wild ends off the short and curlies now and then to keep em out of noses but would look absolutely absurd doing any more than that

If a guy is expecting BLS he should at least trim otherwise the hair is not a issue to me.

No preference as long they're clean and fresh.
