Hairy Me

I have come to find the task of shaving legs and underarms to be well quite the drag and the hasstle, and more so for the fact that there is virtually no reason to do it, it is something done purely for societal reasons to meet a certain standard that American sociaty has started somewhere down the line, and so for that reason, I decied that I would no longer bother myself with the task.

Yes that is right, I do not shave my legs or underarms, becasue I do not give a shit what everyone else thinks and besides it is not as if I am often out in public and certiantly not in any setting where I might have to enteract with other people, so I just don't bother to do it, because I don't want to and that is all that matters to me.

The only time I ever will and do shave is when I might get the urge to do so soely for myself, and my own personal wanting, not on account of what anyone else might think, and this might happen maybe once or twice during the summer when I tend to wear shorter skirts and shorts and such, be even then the urge usually does not last long before I deciede it is too much of a drag to bother with, and I really do not care.

And I certerainly see no point in shaving through the winter when I wear long pants and long sealves anyway, so on average I cave maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Even as a guy, I can only say you're right!

Me too

I don't much in the winter because my legs are covered up. I understand that in France, women don't shave the armpits. I think you are right to not do things based on what others expect.

early 1990s

just cause this conversation has come up before I had researched a bit about the subject.
as far as early 1500s paintings have depicted the woman as smooth and hairless, but of course these were all painted by men, so it might have been an abstract/romantisized represenation.
but after gillet came out with a new type of razor and sleeveless shirts and shorter skirts than usual were introduced, it became expected. nonetheless, the idea of a smooth female had already been imbedded in our cultural heritage.

Still, I don't believe most men even really care. Besides if most women simply stopped torturing themselves in the ways they do, what are men gonna do about it? I can fool myself saying I will find a woman who looks like a super model, who does shave her body, but that's not realistic...
