I had a little thought a few days back and I'm really curious about it. So I was wondering if you guys could help me out with this one.

If there was a hairy obese man and he went on this weight loss program, would he appear more furry due to a smaller surface area? 

I tried googling up all these 'before and after' images of obese people, but most of them just shave off their body hair and rub it with shiny muscle oil and stuff. Do you know someone in real life that is hairy and lost a lot of weight? o.O

I actually have more really strange questions like this, but I kinda want this one answered first.

This is .. just a logical guess. No evidence.

I'm guessing that if the guy did lose weight, yes he would 'look more hairier'. Take note his hair wouldn't actually grow longer or anything. I think he'll look that way because 1. yes your SA view 2. gravity. Hair will tend to face downwards and so it's more.. 'visible'. I don't think it'll be that noticeable though once he loses weight. Maybe just a hint of additional.. furriness-look.

Don't trust my guess though xD. I'm not an expert in body hair. LOL.

Obese people who lose a lot of weight usually have to go through facelifts and things like that to remove the excess skin.  It wouldn't look much different hair-wise, though if they didn't have the surgery to remove the skin flabs, you'd be able to tell they used to be obese.

Well this is different from what you are asking, but kind of the same (I think), but one of my cousin was born two years ago and he was a premie. 
He was only about 2 pounds and some ounces. When he was that little, he looked incredible hairy lol. 
But now that he has grown and is the average size for his age, he doesn't look hairy at all.

So I think the guy would look a lot hairier after losing weight...

I think the only case where this would not be true is if the chub spaces out the hair follicle thingys in the skin.
