    Shave, don't shave. Whatever. People are judgy buttholes. I shave my pits cause i smell if i don't, no amount of deodorant can fix that for me. I don't like my own brand. I shave my legs in warm weather cause that's just what i'm used to. Shaved my head in 6th grade and got called G.I. Jane til 8th grade. I've decide it wasn't a bad thing, and I may just do it again.

    Shave, don't shave, as long as you don't smell I don't care. I refuse to hug people with exposed armpits anyway.

    Armpits are gross.

    I don't care what you do with any of your hair, armpits included. Sometimes I shave my underarms, sometimes I don't. I've usually got a bit of peach fuzz going on.

    I think double standards suck. I think having to use man boobs to send out a video to WOMEN about how to properly do a breast exam, or otherwise face censorship, is ridiculous. The same applies here.

    My initial post was never of the sort. I suggest you go back and find my initial post and read. And yes, I do make it a point to say something if someone is walking around smelling like trash. There's a difference if you're in a gym... sweating and your deodorant isn't strong enough.... and when you're in a movie or eating and having to smell someone who smells like they bathed in cat pee. I offend a lot of people.... just how I am, and I won't apologize for that. It just shows how sensitive some people are on certain subjects, and how people like to take words and manipulate them to what they see fit as interpretation. :smiley:

    Doesn't show to me how sensitive some people are - shows to me how rude and offensive you are.

    If you offend a lot of people the problem isn't with all of them.

    If you're close enough for me to notice either way the real issue will be you invading my personal Bubble not where your hair is. I shave armpits so I don't feel sweat linger in my pits, and legs so I can rub them together all smooth like. If you're making a huge effort to catch my attention with your body hair you're a whack job but that's a matter of misguided priorities vs me having a hair phobia.

    I tend to not always bother in the winter, because who is going to see my armpits or legs anyway? but in the summer I tend to shave once a week, because I like to wear sleeveless tops and short trousers... I don't have an issue with it, but I accept that some people do and so I feel more socially acceptable when I shave my armpits and legs in the summer, but couldn't give a rat's hairy *kitten* in the winter lol

    Could do it. Have done it, and my man doesn't care, either way. I still prefer to remove said hair, just feels better to me.

    How stupid.

    One could just change 'didn't take the time to shave her legs to anything( including ' did shave her legs' )

    Meaningless statement.

    I personally feel uncomfortable not shaving. I have thick, curly hair and it always rubbed on long sleeves and pants. So I shave legs AND arms (and underarms) simply for personal comfort. every single day or i feel prickly. A close friend of mine never shaves anything and it doesn't bother me in the least. If a man wanted to wax his whole body - go for it. Do whatever makes you comfortable.
