Well. Christine, I really don't see any purpose for those nose hairs. I pull out about 20 a week (ouch). They tickle when I breathe and drive me nuts.

Scientifically, your theory of body hair in older men being a survival advantage doesn't have much merit. After men, and women, are past child rearing age they are disposable. All that matters is to pass on viable DNA when we are in our prime, and to live long enough to raise our offspring. Evolution doesn't care about making us comfy in our old age. In fact we are programmed to expire. Anyway, cavemen probably didn't survive long enough to ponder why his nose hairs were growing.

The real purpose of body hair is probably to disgust the young females, so that they don't want to mate with someone whose DNA is becoming defective.
