    it can be a bit of a cultural thing, travelling around has taught me to think before I judge, for example this summer in more than 3countries I saw women unshaved with curly hairs on their legs and pits (personally not my kind of thing....but I do understand)
    I know one of the woman (we became friends) has a husband and lives a pretty happy unshaved, hairy pitted life !

    Some guys find it attractive, some not.

    Do I shave...yes/no ...Armpits YES..once or twice (sometimes 3 times) a week (I am so un-hairy and it takes 3-4days before I stubble up!)
    legs (psht...got to love my mum for this because a. my leg hair is so fine and soft I can go months...yes months without shaving and bless my beau rubbing his hands down my legs compliments me on shaving !) when I do shave it has a tendency to grow back stubbly so I then have to shave weekly, but moisturise daily(2) as well and my leg hair remains fine !

    note : I also have friends who shave their arms...don't really understand that one but hey-ho it doesn't inconvenience my life whatever they do to their arm hair !

    not me or anyone that i know. i'm sure they exist somewhere though.

    If my husband had the choice, he'd rather I had a shaved crotch and hairy legs....armpits too lol

    French women typically don't shave their legs. It's not so weird.

    Ahhh, gender roles. Women need to shave their legs and men aren't supposed to.

    So weird.

    no doubt, I personally hate shaving my legs...and if my fiance b!tches, it's his own damn fault...love it or lump it. he loves me UNCONDITIONALLY!! I do shave when the leg hair doesn't feel nice on the blankets anymore, that prickly feeling sucks. But really, it's a north american societal norm that doesn't have any basis in procreation. it's stupid, I hate it.

    neither does posting on a internet message board but people still do it

    I shave my legs and pits regularly, but not because society demands it. I do it because I just like how sensitive my skin is when it is shaved smooth. Plus, there's just something about freshly shaven legs that just makes me feel fresh and clean. I love the results, though the method can be a bit tedious at times.

    Thank goodness my husband doesn't mind. (not thrilled with but doesn't mind) I rarely shave mine unless I'm going to be wearing a skirt. I do at least shave them if going to be wearing clothing that shows my legs. But I don't typically have enough time to deal with the hassle.

    I've been a hairless lady and a hairy lady (each option for years at a time) and both ways I've attracted normal, good-looking guys who really dug whatever phase I was into. Guys who like hairy ladies are in the minority in the US, for sure, but they're out there.

    To get all Oprah and *kitten*: I've found that what attracts good men has everything to do with how happy and confident I am, and very little to do with the state of my body hair.

    I'm in the same boat. I don't shave them during the winter, what's the point?! Waste of time for something that nobody sees. I am lucky and have really light hair so that helps. I do shave during the summer. I hate doing it though, it's a pain. I wonder about that laser hair removal for the bikini area...

    And my bf could care less, as long as he's getting some ;) But yea it could be that it's just because my hair is light and hard to see. I have seen people with darker hair but light skin and it does look kinda odd.

    Personally it does not bother me. My wife will go for weeks without shaving hers, but her leg hairs are so light colored that unless she is under a bright light, you cannot tell. She does shave them when wears skirts and dresses that show her legs.

    I only shave my legs when I'm wearing shorts. D: Is that bad?

    Or like. I'll shave half of them if I'm wearing tights.

    I'm just lazy.

    So during the winter...

    I make it a point to just...not lift my pant legs. lmao!

    I'm the same. I only shave mine in summer if I'm wearing a dress. LOL

    I don't know why so many people are eww.. it's hair....

    I prefer smooth, for myself. I like the way it feels better. I don't find hair disgusting though.

    I shave when I want to have bare skin (read: rarely). I don't when it will cause more trouble than it's worth. My boyfriend would probably prefer I shaved every day, but he puts up with my irregularity.

    This!!!! In the winter I am covered in long johns, sweats and jeans. In the unusual event that I need to wear a skirt/dress, I will shave them. Summer- That is a different story! Every day!

    I've seen 3 ladies today in skirts with hairy legs! One lady was light skinned and the hair was jet black and curled up...kinda resembled pubic hair! :sick: What the heck?! I can't imagine rubbing up against that at night! :noway:

    Do guys like that???


    The question should be "Do the guys that CHOOSE Them like hairy legs?" YES! From what you wrote I'm thinking you are African American (Black people usually use complexion references...cause all white folks are, well, "light".) Actually, legs with some hair on it has been considered "sexy" in the AA Community, mainly because it does not usually "clash" badly with our complexion and because it is usually baby fine hair, not thick and course like on a man's chest. There is usually a BIIG difference in the hair on Black women's legs and White women's legs (usually thick, course and clash with their complexion, so it stands out more).

    So, off top I would say that hair on a Black woman's legs is not a turn off to Black men. But I have seen some white women who have chosen NOT to shave their legs, and I must say that it is sc-hairy!!!

    I'm a guy and I don't care. I'd rather cuddle up to my wife with hairy legs than to be scratched by stubs. I look at it this way; The Goddess created us with hair, and it grows. I don't know if it serves a natural purpose but I don't believe it does any harm. Needless to say, I don't think it is gross. I think it is our modern sensibilities that get in the way.

    Cheers
    Like! The stubble is the worst and my husband really doesn't care as long as he is getting attention!

    GAK.. why does a thread asking GUYS how they feel about hairy legs prompt dozens of detailed TMI posts from women about their shaving habits??

    :noway:

    Do guys like hairy legs? Are these women purposefully not shaving to please their man? That's the only reason a woman would choose to not shave, right? Because her man likes it, and every choice she makes should naturally be defined by what men expect and find sexy?
    I hate full facial hair on men. Just really not my thing. Does that mean that my man isn't allowed to grow a beard when the mood strikes? Sure doesn't. Because there is more to him then what I prefer.
    Maybe, just maybe, these women that choose to not shave do it for a reason other than attracting a male. You cannot expect everyone that you meet during the course of your life to have spent hours of time "making themselves presentable" in your opinion before passing you on the street.
    Can't we show everyone the same respect for their personal choices that we expect for our own?

    Wow, don't think anybody's attacking anyone's choices--just expressing their own personal opinions! Some of which, by the way, are hilarious!
