It sure was an eye opener to me! I was just happy and content with my legs before that encounter. (didn't realize hairy legs meant I was less female) actually- I didn't even realize I had hairy legs until that day. My hair was blond too, barely visible.

So to me, mere culture has me shaving.
Other than that I go against the norm of about every other beauty thing culture would have me do. I'm pretty natural and look good, never had a problem getting attention BECAUSE I was natural.

I wonder if men truly even like that women are so vain? I mean wear so much make up and doll up their hair (to the point they can't run their fingers through it), spend hours in the bathroom and wear lots of jewelry and fashionable clothing. Sounds expensive!
Most men do not care about makeup on women. Most men would be happy if their wives met them at the door with a pizza and sporting no makeup when they return from work. As for hair, there are guys who hate any hair, are indifferent or like a woman who goes all natural. Just remember, none of Brigham Young's wives shaved. Women did not do that in those days. Personally I think it should be up to the woman and she should not care what others think. When a woman starts dating and the guy sees her in a swimming suit, and is okay with whatever her desired look is, then he will call back for additional dates.
This reminds me of a youth trip to a water park where one of our leaders didn't shave her self and was spilling out of her swim suit. No one said anything but it sure bothered me. Then again I don't think you should be wearing clothing that doesn't cover up that stuff, she should have had some shorts on or something. It was really disturbing to me. I couldn't believe she didn't notice - she was a bit weird though.

Buy hey, that's the only time I seen anything like that and I have spent tons of time around pools and beaches.

It is interesting that we have one thread with some people saying hair is something that needs to be removed from women's bodies and another that has people condemning cosmetic alterations of said bodies. Ironic.

Hey all !

I'm male and shave my legs, mainly because it is more hygienic.
I also want to be different ;
So sometimes I only shave one leg and leave the other one hairy.

But I always leave my thighs hairy so it looks like I wear shorts made of hair,
I hope to find a wife in the future who wants to grow these hairy shorts too.

I studied genderism for a time and that makes you more loose and open about products like nailpolish.
I wrote articles about that and tried out a lot, maybe I should post a few?
Who is interested ?

God Bless !
