And possibly the pubic hair down there, the way things are going. Both in general and sexually attractive to men.

Or do you think this norm is so entrenched (even though it's barely 100 years old in the West) that we'll never be able to 'go back'?

I know what you may be thinking. Ewww, no way, that's unimaginable, but remember for 99.9% of human history that was the way we lived, and times change.

A question for men, do you think you could get over your conditioning and find a woman with hairy legs, armpits.etc sexually attractive or aesthetically pleasing?

I personally could never go back to not shaving.
It's a nice invention.

Society may cycle through the whole pubic hair thing but I don't think shaving legs and underarms will ever die. I mean we invented cars too and haven't gone back to using something different than that.

Cars aren't much older than the whole shaving for women trend, so who knows. A generation brought up where women don't shave at all won't find it shocking at all.

It's a hassle to do it everyday but if I had money I'd just start the laser hair removal and be done with it.

I like being hair free. We don't need our body hair like we use to.

To an extent, depending heavily upon cultural factors. It's more accepted in crunchy cities and in crunchy subcultures, for example. But I don't think the pendulum will ever swing all the way back to hairy legs/pits for women.

Well, that probably puts a LARGE percentage of women in the disgusting category.

Yeah, I can let the legs go. Not the pits. I am no longer a slave to the shaved leg and the time it takes. I can and do go without shaving my legs for long periods and only do it when I feel like it, and I still wear shorts and skirts. People sometimes give me a raised eyebrow but whatever. Don't care. I don't see it as catching on or being common where I live, at this point (hence the raised eyebrows).. my leg hair is kind of dark so it's a bit more obvious for me.

I cannot ignore armpit hair though.

Modern American men are attracted to hyperrealized forms of femininity and excess body hair just doesn't cut it. Traditions regarding beauty can change & mutate but it takes generations. For example 100 yrs ago Asian women with Mongoloid features weren't considered physically attractive by Caucasian males, but now they're fetishized.

Good Lord are you serious? Not sure if you are a man or a woman or if you came out of the womb perfect or how you can be so judgmental and talk about how you love Jesus Christ forever.

I shave. I wish there were a button I could click and make body hair be gone just so life could be much easier. There isn't.

I am not going to shave my arms. Not in this lifetime. I will not always shave my upper legs. At times I am completely bare 'down there' but more often than not, I am not completely shaved down there. I don't think my man likes it completely bald. Fine with me.

But to say any woman not completely free of body hair is disgusting?

How about your mother? Your grandmother? sheesh
