Men: how would you handle it if women just up and stopped shaving altogether?

Amen!

Underarms, yes, please shave. Bikini area? Honestly, I finding it more appealing when shaved. Not completely, though. Just the bikini line tidied up, and the short and curlies, short.

Not what you asked, but, if she had hairy legs, I wouldn’t care. It’s colder than a witches tit here during the Winter, and furry legs come in handy!
To each his/or her own.

Don’t care, honestly. That isn’t the sort of thing that makes any difference to me. I do groom, but I don’t see why I would be any more turned off by a woman with armpit hair.. than I am by my husband’s armpit hair. That just seems silly to me.
As for the pubic area, I’ve expressed this before (here on Fluther and elsewhere in life) that I’m not a fan of a bald groin on anyone. I’ll pass on the sandpaper crotch, thanks.

I dare say that we would adapt, in any case. Even to hairy armpits.

A woman’s shaving habits are pretty low on my list of concerns. :)

It’d be just like it was before shaving. Everybody still got horny!

Oh. My. God. You have got to be kidding. This is the doomsday scenario to end all doomsday scenarios.

I gotta be straight with you. If this happens, I’ll be sticking a gun up my mouth.

Sigh. You gotta wonder what is behind these questions about societal customs. Especially the ones about hair. When I was growing up, a lot of women didn’t shave. So the fuck, what? Kids these days act like it’s the end of the world if you don’t have the skin of a baby… or at least a pre-pubescent. It’s such drama. No one wants to pick hair out of their teeth. I hate saying “get a life,” but this is one time when it seems to me to be entirely appropriate. Get a life, people. I know these questions are primarily for entertainment value, but how many times can you bear complaints about tooth hair.? There are so many more important things. You know. Like washing the dishes. Sheesh!

@wundayatta I prefer a trimmed bush. It’s what I like.

But, if she grew it out a bit, I wouldn’t give a shit.

Some of us find it kind of exciting in private. But not so much in a bikini on the beach.

@wundayatta are you complaining about me asking the question? or at societal customs in general? I don’t understand what you’re annoyed at.

Everything. I’m being doggedly irascible tonight and indulging my inner grouch. It’s a silly question, so I gave it a silly answer.

Please don’t tell me you were serious! Shirley ewe ingest!

Short and curly, you ingest.

Hahaha @Jude, that was clever.

@wundayatta OK, surely you know that on Fluther, we are free to ask anything we want as long as it is not harmful to anyone else. If you find my question stupid, then why are you even on this page answering it? Did you seriously take time out of your day and energy to bother saying something sarcastic about what I asked? If you were so bored by my question and repulsed by my “silliness”, why did you not have the common sense and courtesy to skip it and go on to some oh-so-life-affirming question you were interested in? Sheesh.

I am going to have to echo you here and say, “Get a life.”

You might be in a grouchy mood tonight, but you picked a grouchy person to pick on.

Oh dear. I didn’t say you shouldn’t ask the question. I just said I thought you were asking a silly question. I love to answer silly questions. It’s loads of fun. It didn’t occur to me that this might be a serious question until I was halfway through my answer.

I never said I was bored or repulsed. In fact, I was delighted. I thought it showed a great deal of wittiness and a good sense of humor. Too bad I was wrong and you got your knickers in a twist.

Look. If you expect everyone to be able to read your mind, then this is not the place to ask questions. I misunderstood. It’s not the kind of thing I would have thought would raise your blood pressure.

And whether you intended it or not, it’s still a delightfully silly question. Please don’t begrudge me my fun. It’s not a common commodity.

Can’t we all just get along?! Can’t you see this is tearing us apart???!! Why!!
Oh, hell. just kiss and make up. Ladymia, you should have room for those types of answers, really, no matter what question was asked. Don’t get bent out of shape, I thought wundayatta-boy was kind of entertaining.
And I can handle the hair, as long as it’s clean. Shaven is much nicer on a girl everywhere except the head(including the eyebrows, what’s with the pencil-drawn eyebrows, dammit?!).

@wundayatta You did not show any sign in your answers that you were playfully teasing, or being good-spirited. You kind of sounded downright curmudgeonly. I mean, you told me to get a life. As you said to me, you cannot expect me to read your mind. So if I interpreted your answers wrong, it is due to the tendency of the internet to erase all tone, inflection, and other qualities of communication that come in handy when deciphering another’s message. No grudges held…bygones are bygones and all that jazz.

@abaraxadac I am so not a fan of that pencil-brow thing. I love a tame, yet bushy eyebrow on a man or woman. The shaved, penciled brow makes me think of a fussy, 90-year-old woman every time.

@ladymia69 Kiss-kiss.

Don’t argue, that makes for a sad Neffie.
@abaraxadac those pencil brows are horrid.

@wundayatta Right back at you.
@Neffie,...sorry honey. We’ve taken our xanax, and we’re on a happy train now.

I’d want to hair her explanation before I made a judgment.

Getting straight to the root of this issue, i’m going to say I would have no desire to shag cousin it. That is my opinion & by gum i’m sticking to it!

I wouldn’t care…unless she looked like This

Oh wow, that would be awesome if women weren’t expected to shave anymore! Then I wouldn’t have to worry about how many blades broke on my legs, or my jayjay looking like a creepy flesh taco with measles.

@WillWorkForChocolate oh dear god. that was much too vivid.

@ladymia69 Ha, sorry, that came from a previous question.

I wouldn’t care if men didn’t shave. I kinda like the whole rugged look :P
But I wouldn’t be able to quit shaving at all. I’d feel weird!
