I'm 52 and can't be bothered with the waste of time. I will occasionally shave because it does feel nice for a bit afterwards. Honestly, same goes with my pits. In all fairness though, I'm fair skinned with lighter colored body hair that isn't all that thick. EXCEPT for the motherfucking chin hairs. Those damn things I curse at each and every one that I rip from my face.
That said, people should do whatever the fuck they feel comfortable with in regards to their own body hair.
If you're interested in dealing with them once and for all, there are treatments (I think they use lasers) that will kill the hair follicles and prevent them from growing hair anymore.
My mom had it done on her legs and she hasn't had to shave since, not sure how expensive it is but it might be worth looking.
It may surprise you but many women actually like having smooth shaved legs. Just like some men like to be clean cut. It's weird that leg shaving is such an issue cause I never saw it as being about men, it's just a personal preference women have
I bet, cleanly shaven feels nice but I can imagine stubble to be exceptionally bad on legs. And most men would probably need to shave far more often to avoid it.
Well that‘s just not true. Sure, some women like having smooth legs. But you have to ask why. Probably because society tells them that it‘s normal for women to shave their legs and if they don‘t, they are abnormal.
Or why do most men shave their beard but almost none their legs if it‘s such a good feeling?
I can't wear body warmers continuously for a long time due to static electricity with hair.
So if I could make the body hair just stop coming out once and for all, I would. Except that none of the available solutions are really permanent, except for, maybe burning the skin off, which would create other major inconveniences.
Yeah I don’t understand shabby fashion at all. I mean if I’m wearing clothing that’s full of holes it’s because I’m too cheap and lazy to buy new clothes.
Yeah that's why Kurt Cobain and other punk/grunge musicians wore this kind of clothes. Then he became one of the biggest rockstar ever, which caused him to blow his head off and the trendy people to start dressing like him.
Holy moly that would save so much time. I already kind of cheat and mostly do my thighs now that it is winter, since I don't really feel my shin hair normally.
That’s funny; my thigh hair is so thin I don’t even bother, even in the summer. Meanwhile my calf hair is darker and more obvious so that’s what I shave.
I only shave my legs when pulling up my ski socks (knee-high, tight enough to not fall down, but I’ve never been skiing) causes pain from pulled hairs. And sometimes when I go to a pool. So like maybe 5-8 times a year.
I don’t wear shorts or skirts above the ankle, so I really don’t care most of the time.
A lot of people's arm hair is much finer, and lighter in color, than their other body hair. There are a lot of people out there that can get away without shaving arms, and maintain that hairless look, and you wouldn't really notice unless you touched them.
