To shave or not to shave...that is the question!
Posted : 22 Sep, 2010 05:12 AM

Earlier this year, during a major awards ceremony, Mo'nique from the movie 'Precious', raised her dress to show an interviewer her shoes. She had unshaven legs. This was a hot topic on the radio and watercoolers for quite awhile.



Now that the hoopla has died down, I would like to know if you men have a preference either way? I have a fine, blonde thinly layered (thank God) moustache that I get waxed off when I get my nails done. (The stuff I share for the sake of the forum. Dang! (-:) How hairless does a woman have to be? (minus the unmentionable, of course)



I asked this question on my forum group on Facebook, and was really surprised by the women's answers and was interested in the statistics for this particular group that posts here on this forum.

I shave my legs a lot less than when I was in high school. The hair takes a while to grow back. What irriates me is that all the women in my family dont have this problem, I am the only one. But its not so bad shaving, I love the smoove feel.

Yes, cultural. Women here don't shave legs. And, my sister shaved her legs once just because her American female friend commented on her legs with little hair.

I don't know how my future hubby will feel about it, but I think I'll just keep right on shaving my legs because I can't stand it when they are hairy! Besides, I have dark hair and VERY white legs...it's not a pretty combination.

I'm w/ pianogal on shaving my legs... very white + black hair... If it was blond, I might let it grow in the winter, but it's not! As far as underarm hair, I'm still waiting for that to come in... I've never grown any hair there. I pluck my eyebrows obsessively!

After shaving legs for many years....I became a missionary.

One day, a student in my school was asking if I needed money really bad. That threw me. When I asked why he asked, his response was...well, since I worked at nights as a prostitute, I must need the money really bad.



Come to find out, in my little neighborhood, the prostitutes advertised their trade by shaving their legs. "Honest" women did not shave. That day I quit shaving and sent home to the US for some hair bleach.



Back in the states, it is such a pain to try and remember to shave the legs. But....when I forgot, the students reminded me. Gotta luv kids.

That's alright Silver, then we aren't competing for the same type :laugh:

But often that question will arise early on in my chats with a woman, cuz helps me understand what level of simplicity they are on. Have alot talk about a little house on the prairie type lifestyle, and here they are shaving everything like its 1999 instead of 1699.

For me, it is a turnoff if a female has facial hair, armpit hair, or leg hair. I like them to be smooth, free of hair, and visibly clean.
