cbain 0 #26 April 21, 2005 I went a year without shaving my legs once. I have very very sensitive skin and was constantly getting razor burn and in-grown hairs no matter how many "senstive skin" products I used during shaving. So I stopped. I'm also very fair and you can't even hardly see my leg hairs. I never got any complaints. I've started shaving again since but the in-grown hairs are starting back up again so I might stop again soon. I've heard that shaving in the US started back in the 50's after men started coming back from the war in asian countries and wanted their women to be hairless and look prepubescent like the asian women. I think that's a ridiculous reason to shave and it shouldn't be so shocking in our society that some women would choose not to shave.Christina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #28 April 21, 2005 QuoteOne girl I was with does not shave her pits or her legs, and she has quite a hairy bush that extends even "around back" a little. She's kind of a hippie-ish girl. I think I'm going to be sick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,447 #29 April 21, 2005 Nothing wrong with not shaving. It's your legs, and what they feel like to you and your mate is what matters. Hygiene is important. But that requires soap and water, not razors. Why are guys clean with hairy armpits and legs and women aren't? In the artificial standards department, it ranks pretty high.

Hmmm ... most of the Asian women, like Anglos, who look prepubescent ARE prepubescent. I personally don't care if a woman shaves her legs, so long as she shaves between her toes ... especially the two big ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chards 0 #34 April 21, 2005 QuoteOk, heres another question - What do you think of a man who shaves his pits??? Sexy or Yucky? It's very unfair that it's generally considered gross for a woman to be hairy, yet it's fine for a man. Underarm hair is just rank anyway, regardless of whether it is sprouting out of the pit of a male or a female And it traps sweat and gets icky in the heat. The nastiest thing is visible drops of sweat on underarm hair in the summer. Ugh... *shudders* Sorry, I shouldn't have written that last bit. Feeling a bit queasy now. ********************************* "I have done that," says my memory. "I cannot have done that," says my pride, and remains adamant.

kbordson 8 #35 April 21, 2005 I try not to go without shaving too very much... more for my preference though. One thing that I don't undertstand though is the stupid plucking of the eyebrows!!! I'm not saying that I had a unibrow or anything... but it hurts to get them waxed! And for what reason do we do them? WHY? Can any guy explain that? (I have a girlfriend - no, not like that- who regularly tells me when it's time to get it done... cuz I kinda hate all those "chick" things... and she says that it's just something women should do... but WHY?)

CanuckInUSA 0 #36 April 21, 2005 QuoteCan any guy explain that? Sometimes us guys can notice a good makeup job. But most of the time we can't or at least are distracted by something else - like boobies. So unless the woman is nicknamed "eye-brow" I don't think plucking ones eye-brows needs to be high up on the priorities list.

kelel01 1 #37 April 21, 2005 I hate those women who point shit like that out. "You have a zit right there." Yeah? Well, no shit, Sherlock! Thanks for pointing it out. I had no idea it was there! And now I'm rather self-conscious. Thank you. Women are bitches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #38 April 21, 2005 So, should I just keep that thing about the food in your teeth to myself? Kidding - but I ALWAYS point out to other women if something is amiss: food in teeth, skirt in pantyhose, booger out of nostril, "hair gel" in hair... you know, so they're not embarrassed. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

kelel01 1 #40 April 21, 2005 For things that can be taken care of, it's fine AND appreciated. For things like zits, cold sores (I've never actually had one, but you can't just make 'em go away), sunburns . . . it's just bitchy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #44 April 21, 2005 I've never been with a woman who went Mediterranean. I'm not a very hairy guy at all, and I think it'd just leave me a bit bothered to be with a women who was hairier than I. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason why I can think for a woman to wax her eyebrows is so that, in the rare case of one us men NOT staring at her boobies, she won't think, "MY GOD!!!! HE'S STARING AT MY EYEBROWS!!!!!" 'Long time ago I had a red-headed lady friend who didn't ever shave her legs. The hair on her legs was very soft, not all that noticeable, and not offensive at all. It was sexy in that it fit her little hippie chick persona, and frankly everything about her was rather adorable. (Too bad she ended up with the Moonies.)
