I dont like hairy men any more than I think hairy women look good. One of the girls I went to school with had 2 inches of armpit hair and the look of it just makes you screw up your face. On women it just looks like they havent taken the time to bother with themselves. Although that may not be a fair assumption from me as I have basically no underarm hair so havent had the trauma of having to wax or shave regularly. It must be a pain.
dont know but as a woman i wouldnt want to be walking around with a bush of hair under my arms wearing a tank top or something or with a bikini with bush hanging out of it either i guess its just what we are conditioned to do women shave those areas men dont. but i hate men with back hair i do think its gross
Well its up to u it is ur body but us men don’t find it appealing if a girl has body hair in those places. Men find it appealing if a women with out the body hair and most women like guys with body hair its just how it is.
Body hair is considered gross on women because it’s fashionable for women to be hairless at this point in time. It hasn’t always been fashionable, and it won’t always be fashionable.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with women growing out their natural hair. I don’t shave my armpits, but I keep them neatly trimmed. They look clean, and nice, even though they aren’t shaved. And you know, my boyfriend doesn’t find anything wrong with it, either.
I also love hairy men! It gives them a wild animal look – I just want to jump all over them, grrrr!
I completely agree with you: Body hair is totally natural.
wow..your pretty hostile Abuot this….just shave…guys are to stupid to understand natural woman..so in America we have to shave to prepubescence for them to like it…breeding child molesters///unless you are just a hairy monster…yukkk…..wax…
Because in ancient times it was considered ‘gross’ or lowclass for a woman to have to do anything for herself. Each hair is the result of a necessary motion made to survive on her own. Or, her inability to intuit to perfection; reactions to the feelings of others rather than her own, causing a hair.
I have to say this again women are considered more classy there for they should shave. ans man are more nasty and trying to show off that they are stinky and manly, I my self shave my armpits cuse its just not me to have hair under my arms
I think it’s just something that society has engrained into a woman. Women are suposed to be soft and smooth
there are lots of countries/regions that women having body hair is just fine.
Women these days are tuned to follow the stereotypes that TV/Media place on them. You need to be skinny, have perfect skin, big jugs, and no hair….I think this is all bullshit.
be who you want to be, do what you want to do. If you don’t want to shave your pits…. then don’t shave your pits. Whatever’s cool with me.
hairy arm pits smell more then a clean shaven arm pit. most females don’t want smelly arm pits. the only body hair on a man that is gross to me is their back
Depilitation, or hair removal for women was only rarely practiced by the very wealthy, and even then, back in the 1700’s, not many wealthy women waxed. Shaving wasn’t the preferred option due to trying to use a straight razor, and lack of safety razors. It gradually became a cultural norm and accepted practice. Perhaps it became more popular starting back then because men found the smooth skin more attractive, and ladylike.
Once society deems something is a must, it becomes habit. As wealthy women were more likely to wax the hair off, it also became a sign of cleanliness.
The Asian culture began hair removal LONG before Western contemporaries.

Because body hair just isn’t something that is viewed as a feminine thing. Just like how guys don’t wear stuff from Victoria’s secret or use eyeliner.
