Honestly it really grosses me out. If she doesn't care about hair growth chances are her business looks like a raccoon died and fell on her lap1

I'm not fond of leg and armpit hair on a woman, but to each their own!0

I see the "cooking and staying quiet" comment has already been made.
I'll always remember in 8th grade, I had a friend named Faith who wouldn't shave or wear bras. She was bullied to no end. Hurts my heart to think about. Is this the kind of culture we want to create? Unaccepting, judgemental little *kitten* for children?
I think of Faith every time I skip shaving my legs nowadays.. It's saved me so much time and money just doing my armpits. The only reason I do my armpits is because I don't like the feeling of sweat and hair there together. It's cut way down on my morning routine!
I was counting the comments it took until there was a 'quiet and in the kitchen' line. Humanity never fails me.
As a girl who went through puberty a few years earlier than is normal, I had to deal with body hair from a very young age at a time when none of the other kids around me had even come close to puberty. I was bullied mercilessly for it and developed a complex about being hairless later in life, which wasn't helped by the fact my job as a model meant I was required to be clean shaven all over.
People who bully girls who have body hair are total sh*tstains. Any kind of bullying sends you straight into the 'yup, complete d*ckbag' corner, but girls have to deal with an entire multi-billion dollar beauty industry that profits off their low self-esteem and constant media and societal bombardment telling them how to exist anyway, so little snot-nosed brats in schoolyards really don't need to be adding to that pressure.0 -
I would be so itchy, but if someone else wants body hair that's cool too.
I wax/shave for my benefit...no one else's0 -
b) Agreed, it's awful to shame women who don't shave, but I question why it's OK to shame the people doing it
Who is shaming people that shave?

First, actually. And word to your entire post.
Although I shave because I can't stand having stubble. I've had one boyfriend who shaved his legs/armpits and that had no bearing on our relationship.
Thank you! I couldn't remember which one it was.

I had laser hair removal over the past 2 years, so I don't grow a lot of body hair any longer. I just have some white fuzzy hair on my legs, and I shave that about once a month or when it starts to blow in the wind when I cycle. LOL0

This made me think...
First of all, I'm happily married. I shave daily. Yes, daily. So by most of those people-I am a very hygienic person.
That being said, I don't always use shampoo to wash my hair, I don't typically wear deodorant, and I can be found in the exact same clothes daily for a solid week. I brush my teeth (with baking soda and peppermint oil) three times a day though.
The good news for everyone about to say, "eeeew..."
I rarely leave my property, so unless you're here to buy chickens or rabbits, you won't smell me and...
I don't like people in my personal space so if im in public and you can smell me, I assure you that you are standing way too close to me.0 -
No. It doesn't gross me out to see a woman who doesn't shave. It's all personal preference. If you want to shave fine..if not thats fine, too.
Why are women expected to shave when men aren't? It's just another thing women 'should' do in order to be considered beautiful..or even acceptable.
Personally, I shave my armpits regularly because I don't like hair there. It's more comfortable. My legs are shaved if I wear shorts or dresses. Down there is kept trimmed..but I will not shave because I am a woman, not a prepubescent girl. If other people don't like that, I don't care.0 -
You guys getting ready to star in a 70's porno?0

My 14 year old tells me the girls in the school are shaving their "girl" but not shaving their armpits. hhhmmm is all I can say.0

Some of us have very little armpit hair and get away with plucking or even bleaching. Wish it was that easy for the legs!buckshot500 wrote: »Lady hair doesn't bother me, as long as she's not a damn wookie.

I shave weekly during the wamer months when I am wearing my cycle shorts daily and sleevless shirts. During the winter I forget to shave all the time. I wear jackets and long work out pants everywhere so I never think about it until I want to try to seduce my Love. He doesn't mind if my legs are hairy, he doesn't even notice.0

Yes, I agree! Do you shave or wax yours?0 -

Granted, women do have a lot of bombardment telling them how to be, but we can't forget men have the same issue. What of all the Calvin Klein underwear ads and whatnot telling them they have to have chiseled abs and a rather large dingledongle?
While it's not as widespread, it's still an issue for both genders. I say everyone should have the right to do as they please, both men and women, hairy or not hairy:-)0 -
I knew a guy who raced bicycles and used to shave his legs because of it. I never really understood how that helped so if any boys here have an answer to that, I'd be curious to know the reason. I can't imagine it being an aerodynamic thing no matter how hairy your legs are.0

I forget about my legs in winter, mostly. It is cold in Norway in winter. So hairy legs doesn't really matter.0

Depends. Can she cook and is she quiet while the game is on?
I am not quiet during any game, especially hockey.
As for the shaving question, I shave but am not fanatical about it. The concept of a woman's entire body being completely hairless falls into the "get a life" category for me.0
