Women sometimes miss a day shaving and then they are some seriously scratching gnarly dudettes. Would you prefer they just grow their leg hair so they are warm and soft like a teddy bear?

I’d prefer somewhere between their legs hairy.. ;)
Not me. Just my preference.
So you think women should continue to be unnatural as to their body hair?
The idea that women should only have hair on their heads will probably never die out.
@Zendo , I don’t see MEN wearing their hair like a caveman’s either.
@Quagmire Men don’t shave anything but their faces…and some don’t shave that. What caveman are you including?
@Zendo , how about hair cuts??? The natural way would be NOT to cut, no?
As a woman I’m wondering why on earth we’d WANT to stop shaving? I have no problem with it. It’s what society expects of us and honestly, I’m ok with that! Do you know the looks people would give women if we walked around with 2 inch long hair on our legs and curly locks under our arms??? I prefer bald everything…and I’m sure men would appreciate if we continued grooming ourselves.
@Zendo: The question was about your preference, not what is and what is not natural.
To be very honest , it wouldn’t bother me if females including my wife didn’t shave their legs, armpits and nether regions . Did cavemen and women have this option ?
I can’t stand being stubley! I shave everyday and will until I can’t anymore! It is gross to see a woman with hairy legs and venomous pits!
It USED to be that some women from certain nationalities would NOT shave their legs and/or mustache. I don’t know if that is STILL the case.
Unnatural to shave? What’s next? No more bathing either? Cuz I’m pretty sure cave people didn’t have showers and yummy smelling soap.
@Quagmire You have never seen hippies? Or dude with dredlocks?
@ItalianPrincess1217 Of course it is unnatural to shave, silly. If it were natural to shave, razors would grow on trees. Why would you not want to bathe? Yick. This question is not about hygiene, it is about women and hairy legs.
@critter1982 I think I should know what the question is about, dude…LOL…I wrote it!
@Quagmire what soap do you use?
@Zendo Women with hairy legs would be considered a hygiene topic.
@Zendo, you’re not understanding. Even hippies cut their hair at times. Cavemen never did. Going to a Barbershop is “unnatural”. So what? Most of the stuff humans do is not like the cavemen did. As far as I know, most of us here in America don’t need to hunt. We go to the supermarket.
If it wasn’t for shops and supermarkets , you would hunt infact some people still hunt for food . I used to get certain meats from the field , could include fishing as part of hunting .
Just now-a-days hunting has been taken over by going to the shop , and doing a different form of hunting .
No, I would not.
And I’m very glad I’m not very hairy. Very little on the chest and my back is smooth (amazing for an Italian). I would never grow facial hair.
Not a big fan of the hirsute in general – regardless of gender.
I think a Q like : When and why did women start shaving their areas ? would be good
I can’t imagine anything more gross. I don’t do velcro on my legs. And I can’t imagine any man who would want to crawl into bed with someone who looked or felt like an ape. Nothing feels better than smooth, shaved legs.
@Quagmire Many hippies do not ever cut their hair. Never. This was never about cavemen anyway. It is fun to watch you go way off topic with nonsensical what ifs.
Going to the supermarket is hunting, now that you cannot hunt almost everywhere in the civilized world. What’s your point?
@Zendo: So you are arguing women should not cut their leg hair because they are born with it? Should we not cut our fingernails or the hair on our head or our toe nails. Should we never take advil because it didn’t come directly from this earth? Should we not wear contacts, glasses, hearing aides, wigs, or braces because they are unnatural? I’m not sure it seems logical to me to do something simply for the fact that it’s natural…
@Zendo , going to the supermarket is hunting? What neighborhood do YOU live in?
You’re saying it’s unnatural for women to shave their legs. True, it IS. But most of what we do is not “natural”. Combing one’s hair, styling one’s hair, taking medicine, getting vaccinated…again, SO WHAT?
It’s equally amusing when you consistently are unable to understand something that’s directly related to one of your OWN points.
@critter1982 I guess you didn’t read the question. Cutting or not cutting their leg hair because they are born with it has no bearing on this question. My question asked guys if they would prefer their ladies’ leg hair not to be shaved because of how silky soft and luxurious it would feel on them. Quagmire drifted off a bit into the caveman natural thing.
@cyndihugs No hygiene prob if the women washed their hairy legs regularly.
So you think women should continue to be unnatural as to their body hair?
What you said (see above) is implying that you find it unnatural for women to shave their legs/armpits/mustaches etc. Thus, @Quagmire was just making a statement in reply to yours.
@Quagmire LOL…You are the one who took this question and rearranged it.
The q is, “Men: Would you prefer that your woman’s legs were hairy?”
And…“Women sometimes miss a day shaving and then they are some seriously scratching gnarly dudettes. Would you prefer they just grow their leg hair so they are warm and soft like a teddy bear?”
Where in this do you read anything about cavemen, or shopping and hunting?
@Zendo: I said “hellz no” and your comment to that was “So you think women should continue to be unnatural as to their body hair?”
EDIT: I was only answering your question
@critter1982 Ah yes. Let’s jump all over this tangent and not stay on point. It is unnatural to shave body hair. That is simplicity in and of itself.
The question merely asks if guys would prefer their ladies not shave their legs…LOL…
That being said, my answer to the actual question:
I couldn’t bear to stop shaving. I hate the feeling of stubble and shave constantly to keep that away. We wouldn’t grow enough hair to be “soft like a teddy bear” it would just be annoying, unattractive, and unbecoming.
@Zendo Like people have said, it is also unnatural to clip your nails/toenails, cut your hair, pluck your eyebrows, etc. So couldn’t the question just as easily be any of those? You’re the one who started off with the “unnatural” bit, and @Quagmire simply continued it. Don’t tell people they’re drifting off course of the main question when you brought up the topic. No need to go blaming other people for what you started on your own thread.
@Zendo it’s your opinion, but my opinion is a woman that has 1 inch hair on their legs, armpits… is just plain hygiene along with not washing and taking care of themselves.
@Zendo: Don’t be an idiot….You asked the question So you think women should continue to be unnatural as to their body hair?”
I simply answered your question and then you pretend like I’m drifting off course.
As a woman who has to shave every day to stay smooth, I can say I wish women with hairy legs were considered sexy. Unfortunately, even if my husband preferred that I not shave (I just asked him and he said, “No. Never.” he would not like that at all) I would not be comfortable going out with hairy legs. I don’t think they are attractive.
@cyndihugs Why would women not shaving their legs be a hygiene issue? Few men shave their legs and that doesn’t make them unhygienic.
@Supacase Gender matters on this…in my opinion.
@critter1982 I really don’t feel your name calling will make you seem any more intelligent to anyone reading this. You went on and on with, “Should we not cut our fingernails or the hair on our head or our toe nails. Should we never take advil because it didn’t come directly from this earth? Should we not wear contacts, glasses, hearing aides, wigs, or braces because they are unnatural? I’m not sure it seems logical to me to do something simply for the fact that it’s natural…”
I only am asking about leg hair….but thanks for your input.
@mangeons The fact remains that I did not ask this question about nails, eyebrow, lashes, or earhair. So no, the question could not have easily been about those.
@cyndihugs Agreed.
Maybe because when a girl tries to look good in a new bathing suit, a whole bunch of dark body hair doesn’t really make it look better?
@Zendo You’re not. Getting. The point. The fact remains that you were talking about how shaving body hair is “unnatural”, but only shaving body hair is unnatural. Others proceeded to point out other things that men do as well, that are unnatural.
@mangeons I. AM. Getting. The. Point. But nonetheless, I only asked about women and unshaved legs, nothing more. I may have gone off track with the fact that shaving them is unnatural, but I still did not open the door to anything else we shave or cut or part or comb or brush.
so it would seem that you didn’t get the point.
I like how you tried to separate getting the point with periods for apparent emphasis. Very cute.

<—sit’s in the corner looking like this
No, not at all. I don’t mind it that much if they are, or if they missed a day, especially if they’re blonde and you can’t see them, but I’d never have sex with a woman who had legs as hairy as mine.
Goodnight at 6:30 PM? lol4rl. Get over yourself. Even though I’m “only” 13, I’m obviously more mature than you. And with that, I bid you goodbye, troll.
I cannot respond to the “bite me” comment of a 13 year old…LOL…Indeed, you are far more mature than I!
@Zendo What “Bite me” comment are you referring to? I see none, unless you count the post where you call me “cute”.
I hate these fucken questions. Being hairless is a cultural aesthetic.
Why don’t men shave their
gross hairy legs, and their stinky ass armpits, and stubbly, itchy faces. You don’t
hear women saying eww, gross hairy man legs. There’s no difference!!!
If you can’t stand a woman when she’s au natural then maybe you aren’t attracted to real women. Maybe you are looking for something more prepubescent.
@mangeons “But by saying that, you in fact are opening the door to other discussion.
“Very cute.”
Bite me.”
It is 8 responses up….You don’t remember saying bite me to me?
@mangeons, it was explained to him several times, but he just doesn’t get it. He conveniently doesn’t get it (or WANT to) when he knows he’s clearly in the wrong and making a fool of himself to everyone again. LOL!!!
And THANKS for your help! Lurve for you!
@tinyfaery: I think it’s engrained in me, whether culturally or from birth I don’t know. I cannot find a woman with hairy legs and armpits any more attractive than I could find one that is extremely obese. Similarly I find brunettes more attractive than blondes, and I have absolutely no attraction to men. People are attracted to different things, and I think you understand that. :)
@Quagmire Your foolish and stupid name calling will certainly not make anyone think you are intelligent nor brave. Why you continue on this course is uncertain. Perhaps you are also only 13.

@Zendo doesn’t it at least intrigue you why everybody seems to be on one side and you seem to be on the other? Either there’s a major conspiracy against you, or perhaps, just perhaps, you might possibly be wrong after all?
@Jack79 2 lurve.
@Zendo Quagmire is definately not 13! He seems to know quite a bit more about women than you do.
@mangeons, his “your foolish and stupid name calling…” he already used. Limited vocabulary so, what else can we expect?
What name did I call you @Zendo?
@jbfletcherfan I believe he was referring to me, when I am, in fact, 13.
A lot of men think it looks good to not shave even their faces for days on end, yet females are to shave here and there and everywhere except their heads which would be a blessing, I would love to comb my hair with a washcloth, what a pain!
@mangeons yeah, he WAS referring to Quagmire.
Oh, I correct myself. I can guarantee you that Quagmire is NOT 13 (all right!) and is obviously more intelligent and mature than you, @Zendo. Age is NOT directly connected to maturity anyhow. For all I know, you could be 35 years old, but at the moment you are acting as if you were 6.
@Jack79 LOL…This mysterious everyone to whom you allude is all of 3 people, including you.
So no, I am not overly intrigued with your alleged conspiracy…
And of course I’m not wrong. The question requires a completely subjective view for an answer. There is no right or wrong.
Including me? I was just trying to help you, man. You really do sound like a 6-year-old. Or maybe you’re 14 and think that makes you smarter than a 13-year-old, but guess what? It doesn’t. You’ve been acting like a spoilt brat throughout this thread, and it’s not won you any friends. So perhaps go think about it offline for a bit, and then come back and apologise to all of us for your behaviour. Or of course you can keep attacking people right and left and see how that helps you.

:) ...that was probably the most mature statement you made all night. Lurve for making a step in the right direction :)
There is nothing gross about a woman not shaving her legs – it’s quite unnatural to expect one sex to shave and the other not to – people thinking it’s gross is just an example of Western gender norms and expectations – nothing, again, inherent…I, for one, don’t shave anywhere and it wasn’t always that way, I had to de-condition myself from all kinds of useless rituals to be more acceptable to society…this was a process for me and I didn’t do it for or not for my partner and he doesn’t care either way, because he shares my viewpoint that if hair is growing someplace on my body, it is not something to be disgusted by – same for me about his body and hair and all that…and if you saw my legs, yes, with hair on them, you wouldn’t think they’re gross, believe me

[mod says] Personal attacks are not permitted and have been removed. Please stick to the actual question from here on out. Thank you.
Sorry, mother. ::looks sheepish::
My girlfriend, who is from the Mediterranean (and lives 4 hours of flying away from me), shaves her legs. In summer-season, that is.
In winter (when we live apart from each other), she doesn’t shave. Not because it is keeping her more warm then, but because she isn’t wearing skirts or shorts then, so people don’t see her bare legs.
I really want to see those hairy legs of her one time, just to see what it looks like.
One thing i dó like and is sexy (for me) are the little soft hairs on her back, just above her bum!
I’m wondering who did I insulted?
Oh well, I guess that happans for not whispering while being off topic
<—————- Very fortunate that I don’t have to shave everyday as I am blond and have very little body hair. I have never had to shave above my knees. That said, there is NOTHING unnatural about shaving.
Whew some jellies had an exciting afternoon
I’m a little late here, but I can’t imagine why anyone would want to drag a sharp steel blade across their soft furry bodies. I certainly don’t. There nothing “hairy” or “ape like” about having a coat of soft shiny fur.
@tinyfaery Lurve for you answer!
Thank god my husband doesn’t care. I forget to shave quite often, I do my armpits regularly, but everything else is a “if I remember” I’m not particularly hairy, but I do get darker leg hair when I’m pregnant, which I’ve already noticed :( I don’t judge women for not shaving their legs, it’s such a pain in the ass to do. So why would I judge?
When I was at the Montana Forestry school, there was the hairy legs contest at the annual Foresters Ball. It kind of grossed me out, but at that time it was vogue to be a granola girl.
no hair on legs please! especially on lighter skin colors.
Awright! You guys need to calm down. Things are getting pretty hairy in here.
@cyndihugs Gender does not change how hygienic hair on your legs makes you. It may be less attractive on a woman, but not less clean. If a man and a woman both have hair on their legs and both shower regularly, their level of cleanliness is equal. Any difference is simply a reflection of what society deems acceptable.
I think hairy legs or armpits are gross. Sorry. I don’t want to see a big muff of hair under a mans arm either. Groom that mess. It literally takes five minutes to shave your legs or for a man to trim up.
@elijah 5 mins i don’t want to waste
@elijah Lurve for Muff of hair, lol.
my whole family is pretty hairy.
I have to shave my chest or it gets out of control, face too, and I have to trim my arms and my downstairs.
If I can do it, she can do it. it’s for nothing but looks, but I think it has something to do with the notion that women are more graceful and elegant, thusly should be smooth and soft, as men are more clunky and brutish, so it’s accepted that they’re a bit fuzzy in certain spots.
My husband loves the fact that I am a natural woman, I don’t wear make up of any kind, either.
I’m in the “It’s not fair that women are expected to shave but I’m going to continue shaving anyways” camp. It is such a pain to shave the legs and the pits just so that I can be socially accepted. Granted, having soft legs is nice, but I’m not going to spend time shaving everyday. I skip a day or two between days and during the winter when it’s cold and I wear long pants I can go weeks without shaving. Like @YARNLADY, my boyfriend would rather I not wear makeup and he doesn’t mind if my legs sport a days worth of hair as long as he gets to see my legs. :D
I once had my hair braided by a really nice lady who had dreadlocks and an armpit full of hair. I really admired her and I was slightly jealous. If I could stop shaving something it would be my armpits.
I rarely shave mine in the winter. I have blond hair on my legs, so you can’t really see it unless I’m in direct sunlight. My husband swears this doesn’t bother him a bit. I could never let my underarms go though… it just wouldn’t feel right to me.
@Simone_De_Beauvoir personally speaking? I think a woman looks better with shaved legs than without, it’s not necessarily because I think a woman needs to look graceful and elegant etc. I just like the feel of soft legs on me, hair kind of reminds me of a guy, and I’m not into guys.
I mean I shave my chest because if I don’t I turn into austin powers, and all the girls I’ve dated definitely aren’t into that (that’s certainly understandable), so it’s much of the same thing in my mind.
Skipping past all the drama up ^^ there, I don’t mind women with hairy legs, as I am not put off by a little hair. I think that a woman covered in a pelt of soft downy fuzz would be nice, especially on cold winter nights. What does put me off is someone who doesn’t bathe regularly. BO may be natural, but it isn’t sexy.
It’s like when I don’t shave my head for three or four days, it has a nice fuzzy almost suede kind of feel to it. Hair is nothing to get upset over. I love women for who they are, not for how they look.
In the summer months, I shave my armpits and my chest simply because it helps me to stay cooler. Never in the winter, as I need all the warmth I can get. I shave my head year round simply because I was one of the first people to start the bald look, and my reputation demands it. =)
”I shave my head year round simply because I was one of the first people to start the bald look, and my reputation demands it. =)”
you were alive more than 3000 years ago? ;)
@ABoyNamedBoobs03 yup, I’m holding up pretty well for someone of such an advanced age, doncha think?
Too cool. Thanks all. I was after 100 replies on one of my questions and this may be the one…Wuhooo
@Zendo getting 100 replies is usually pretty easy when you say some ridiculous crap… ;)
@Zendo Whoooohoooo admitted fluther whore
Ugh, no! I don’t think a woman should necessarily have to shave (or wax etc.), but hairy women are not attractive.
What an interesting bunch of responses here! Here’s my female perspective.
Shaving legs sucks. It takes time and effort and you have to do it every single damn day! I’m not sorry at all when I say that I don’t give one shit towards the length of my leg hair. If someone finds it offensive and chooses to actually confront me with their opinions, they will be getting one hell of a tongue lashing back from me.
I also don’t wear makeup. Never have, never will. Has the world ended because of this? Have I been denied job opportunities or discriminated because of it? Of course not! Nor would I want to work for a company where me being dressed up like a fucking clown is more important than my ability to do the work.
I do admit that until recently I tended to cover my unshorn legs when out in public. But this year I decided to say “Fuck it” and wear whatever I wanted to, whenever I wanted, regardless of the condition of my legs. Did the world end? Was I confronted by hordes of angry women demanding I conform? Of course not!
I live for myself, bottom line. If my man friend wants me to have shaved legs, then he can pay for laser treatment or he can shave them himself, or entice me to do it myself. But I’ve long since gotten over the push from society to conform to what girls should look and act like. And considering the way society is nowadays, I am more than happy to differentiate myself from it.
I was going to skip over this question until I realized it had 105 responses! What a heated discussion!!
I shave all my parts for ME. My husband has never said anything about hairy legs because I’ve never given him the chance to. Personally, I can’t stand the feeling of stubbly legs. I shave my legs twice a week & that works good. It takes about 10 minutes. Big deal. My underarms get it every day. I’m just not a hair person. I shave my arms, too. I like the hair free look & the smoothness of my skin.
There is no way I’d ever date a woman who didn’t shave her armpits, legs, and mustache (if she had one).
I shave my face whenever possible, and I trim up (down there). I’d only expect the same from my mate.
Many European women don’t shave their legs.
Leg shaving was invented by companies like Gillette and Wilkinson. They profit from it.
@dynamicduo no one implied the world would end if women didn’t shave their legs. If you don’t want to, that’s cool. You don’t have to. I choose to because I think hairy legs are gross. I’m not saying I shave every day, if I let a few days go by it’s no big deal. I just prefer shaved.
Also I don’t think women who wear makeup are “dressed up like a fucking clown” either. You think makeup is nasty, I think leg hair is nasty. Why do you assume that because someone has a different idea of sexy that we aren’t living for ourselves or are conforming to society? If society said tomorrow that hairy armpits were “in” you better believe I still wouldn’t be doing it. I respect the fact that you do what makes you comfortable, but that doesn’t mean I would want to do it.
I’m not actually aiming my response just at you, but I just used your statements for reference.
@elijah Right on! 10 GAs to you. The make-up/clown comment was definately offensive.
@elijah yeah, no one’s going to wake up tomorrow and say women’s hairy armpits are in – maybe if the men started shaving theirs and we had to re-dichotomize gender norms – and also some people’s make up ‘inability’ does make them look like clowns…not to mention, that all those ‘ewwww, yuck, grosssss, nasty’ are offensive, as well, to people like me, perceived women who don’t care to conform but feel tired of having people stare or make comments – yeah, those same people that say they don’t judge others…as long as others look like them, speak like them, walk like a duck..be a duck…quack quack quack
Ok…. I think you’re missing the point. I’m not whining because some women think the makeup I wear is gross. I don’t care because I do it for me. You can’t help thinking makeup is gross, because that’s who you are. Now what I’m trying to say is that I can’t help thinking hairy women (and men) are gross. It’s just who I am. FYI most men do trim up, so it’s not a double standard. People can’t get upset and start calling us “conformists” just because we like to shave. So yeah, quack quack right back at cha.
@elijah I don’t think make-up is gross, just to be clear – I don’t think anything people choose to do to themselves is gross, I think it all has an explanation – though you or I may do things we think we’re ‘choosing’ to do, there is no reason we can’t also examine the context which surrounds our cultural practices – the reason why, at least partially, why so many people think hair on women’s legs is gross and not on men’s is because of socialization…no one is saying that you don’t actually think it’s gross, I believe you do…I’m just saying that it’s more complex than just thinking something is ‘nasty’...and whether men trim up or not doesn’t matter much in terms of whether it makes them ‘real’ men (also a ridiculous concept)...however, in some ways, if they shave ‘too much’, then they’re just as deviant as women who don’t shave at all…and don’t you see, it’s all so limiting, so ridiculous, so silly to waste our ‘ewwws’ over…no one called you a conformist…you call yourself whatever you want…the quack quack quack comment was silly, not meant as an insult…
I understand what you’re saying, and I know everything has reasons for being what it is. Im just choosing to keep it simple and not make everything into a big deal. I’m not always concerned with the deeper meaning. I would be a crabby miserable person if I worried about why I like things or why I don’t. I just choose not to read to deep.
If I may add my two cents on a less clear-cut issue than legs: most men don’t shave their chests, and actually many don’t have to. I have a very hairy chest, and never shave it (I did it once and it was too itchy and never did it again).
Following the last couple of posts by Simone and elijah, this is actually a good example: sometime between my teens and my thirties the trend around me changed. I remember when Agassi first shaved his chest and was actually ridiculed, whereas now most of my friends shave theirs. Within a decade or two, men around me have been transforming, and so has the taste of females. Like elijah said, I refused to comform, and do not shave. But at the same time, I realise that this is actually reducing my chances of finding a girlfriend. If half the women in my area think a hairy chest is ugly (and as discussed on another thread here on fluther most women find hairy chests almost as gross as men find hairy legs), then that limits my choices. So perhaps one day I’ll have to comform. And similarly, if I were a woman, I might decide not to shave and take my chances, or shave in order to get laid.
So of course it’s your choice, it always is. It’s your choice what clothes to wear, whether to go on a diet, how to speak to people, and even whether you wash or brush your teeth, and apart from some extreme cases of hygiene (hairy legs are not unhealthy btw), most of it has to do with social norms and our effort to impress others, especially those of the opposite sex. And let’s face it, for whatever socio-aesthetic reasons, women base their chances of success on looks a lot more than men do.
btw I also don’t eat garlic just before a date, and I always have a shower when I sweat, even though both garlic and sweating are quite healthy.
@elijah I don’t think I live my life always being concerned with the deeper meaning, but I don’t shy away from seeing depth in all that surrounds me – it is not difficult to me, nor complex.
I didn’t say it was difficult or complex, more like a pain in the ass. I don’t like being around negative people, or constant nit pickers. I don’t like being around people who feel the need to constantly deconstruct every little thought or word. It’s dull. No I’m not calling you dull.
@Jack79 please don’t think that I mean any amount of hair on a man is gross, I’m talking like a full on body sweater. Even then I’m only expecting a trim down, not a complete shave.
@Zendo Looks like we’ve covered both sides of ’ The Great Leg Hair Debate ’ between us Dude!! I’m considering moving into the ear and nose equivalent soon. I’ve long been curious as to whether ’ Nose-Dredds ’ are possible!
“I’m not always concerned with the deeper meaning. I would be a crabby miserable person if I worried about why I like things or why I don’t. I just choose not to read to deep.”
@elijah, That’s interesting to note. I am someone who loves looking into the reasons why I think something, someone who deeply values that kind of intimate understandings with my most precious and valuable organ, the brain. I was once someone who was satisfied like you without having to read too deeply into things. But I am so glad I am no longer that type of person. In fact, I think it’s one of the moments I can point to in my growth and say “That’s when I became an adult”. I have no desire to respond to your other comment.
@jbfletcherfan It’s a shame you chose to interpret my comment in the way you have, but I have no control over that and thus no care :)
I don’t understand why we have to attack each other. I prefer no make up on myself, but I don’t care that other women wear it…I mean, of course there are the ladies that do look like clowns…but most would agree to that. And women shouldn’t feel ridiculed into shaving their legs, but we do feel that way. When I notice that I haven’t shaved in weeks, I instantly get worried that someone will notice, which I think is where the problem lies.
Also, I’ve always wondered….how come when I don’t shave my armpits for like three days they stink to high heavens but men can have long armpit hair and they don’t stink at all? I mean, I use deoderant and shower…but it just seems smellier to me. I also don’t like the appearance of it on myself, because I think it looks weird. Personal preference. If a woman chooses not to shave then go for it. If she chooses to wear make up, go for it.
@lloydbird You know, this all started with your question….that’s where I got the idea for this question! But your q was far more tame than this one…LOL…your question
@casheroo You have to grow quite a bit under your arms before the bacteria which causes the stink has been pushed out by the forest!
@Zendo My ” ..q was far more tame..” . You know it! Just like me. You, however are far more wild. My (affectionate) mental image of you is of ‘Animal’ from the muppets!!!
Keep on keepin on, Wildman!
@dynamicduo there’s no complexity in whether or not I like leg hair. I just don’t. It doesn’t make me simple minded like you seem to imply. It doesn’t mean I am not an adult because I haven’t disected it to high heaven. I never said I don’t value my ability to look deeper into things, it’s just that I choose not to when it comes to something as trivial as leg or armpit hair. I’m not attacking anyone for wanting to be hairy. Don’t attack me because I find it unattractive. You are not a higher being because you stopped shaving. You are not more enlightened because you stopped shaving. Sometimes it’s as simple as some women just like smooth legs. No better, not worse. Just because.
@elijah sometimes it isn’t about anything else other then how you describe it but other times, it is and that’s not nit-picking just because that’s not something you want to talk about – I don’t spend my days discussing these matters of hair and shaving, the question came up so I answered it – just like you…and just like you tomorrow will shave your legs, I won’t and that’s that…and to be completely honest with you, I feel that more people could use deconstruction in their lives __no i’m not saying you’re one of those people__
I’ve been with a man who said he wouldn’t care if I shaved my legs but I care, I like the feel of smoothness of my own body.
Someone else on here commented that men don’t shave anything but their faces and I have to disagree- I’ve not known a man (lover or friend) who doesn’t manscape their genitals and keep other body hair trimmed to a certain extent.
hahaha #2 answer is the best hahahaha
This question made me think of something that happened today. While in the shower with my 2 year old, he grabbed my razor and tried shaving my legs. He’s only 2 and already thinks women need to shave their legs! Geezus!
@casheroo I’d be careful with that. Some friends of our’s when their daughter was real little, she thought she’d shave like daddy. She took the razor to her upper lip & cut the dog out of it. You may get a shave that you don’t want.
@jbfletcherfan That wasn’t really the point of my post. But, I do realize I need to remember to take it out of the shower before we get in together.
@casheroo I know it wasn’t. But I thought of that & just thought I’d throw it in the mix.
What women (do or have any reason to) shave their legs every day?
Anyway, I do like smooth legs, but what makes the woman happy is far more important to me. I’ve never been bothered by rough leg stubble.
Shaven or hairy, it’s all hot.
