LOL!! I am seriously curious because I had to do this today...When I was single, I never would have gone to the gym without shaving, but now, as an about to be married mom of 2, honestly, I forget sometimes! As I did tonight. I usually go work out right after work, I bring my workout clothes to work with me and change there. So, as I was changing, I realized SH**!! Well, its either no workout or go like this, so I picked go like this! Do people really notice or are people so wrapped up in their own workouts they don't really care?? I am not trying to impress anyone when I go to the gym, hence, the reason why I still went, but I am just curious... ladies and gents, have you ever done this or noticed someone who has?? Lets be honest.... :ohwell:

    Girl, honestly I am so focused on not falling over or passing out or looking stupid that I would never notice! I say good for you for going without shaved legs! :flowerforyou:

    I really don't even pay attention beyond the guys with massive facial hair in the summer, and that is merely morbid curiosity as in "How the H is his face not melting off? It is 120*!!!"

    Never, ever noticed such a thing. Just not looking for such a thing. I am looking for my stations and hoping they are not occupied. That's all.

    Haha this happens to me all the time, and i am not comfortable thinking people are looking at my legs..but i personally focus on working out and don't worry about other people Around me, specially if they shaved or not! So i hope other people do the same!

    I notice when I don't if I'm doing stuff that requires that I lift weights with my arms raised. But I don't notice others. I figure, eh, it'll stop guys from talking to me with hairy pits :laugh:

    Legs are arm pits? How long are we talking? I only shave my legs about once a week. I have pretty blonde leg hairs. Pits I try to shave every other day.

    I hardly look at other people at the gym.. I really don't give a damn about their looks! But still I don't dare to go unshaved..

    I don't notice because when I am in the gym I am on a MISSION to get my walk and weights workout in. I am focused on what I need to do. I'm aware that other people are in there, but not so much I'm noticing details like if they shaved or not. pffffft. :smile:

    Why would anyone's eyes be looking at your legs arm pits, 5 o clock shadow or any other part that may need shaving? I guess I go towork out and mind my own business.

    I've never noticed it. The other week I had an appointment with a hematologist (blood doctor) so that morning I was like, "eh, no need to shave my legs, he's a blood doctor." Yeah...wrong. During the appointment he asked me to lay back and before I knew it he had lifted up the bottom of my pant leg! I immediately laughed and said, "um...sorry about those legs." He chuckled and said, "Sorry! I was just checking to make sure your legs weren't swollen!" Embarrassing!!!!! I have another appointment with him tomorrow, I will be shaving for sure!

    The only way I'd ever notice is if I'm having to wait on you to finish using the squat rack and I have nothing better to do than start noticing random crap like that. Then I'll either be jealous and sad that I bothered to shave, or I'll have a lot of admiration for you because you didn't feel the need to wear long pants.

    If anyone's close enough to notice, they need to back the F out of my personal space.

    And to be truly honest, anyone who is looking hard enough to tell if I've shaved or not deserves what he/she sees AND is not working out hard enough him/herself!
