As a teenager, I dated a girl who didn't shave anything. Her hair was mostly blonde, so her body hair was lighter.

It never really bothered me.

Just for the record, another theory for women shaving is not that it is considered feminine by men, but prepubescent. Can you say perv.
I just finished reading the book Kabul Beauty School. Found it interesting that in Afghanistan both the bride and groom are required to remove all body hair for the "consummation ceremony".

And the female had better be able to produce a bloodstained handkerchief afterward.

Remember many years ago when Madonna posed in a magazine unshaven.
I wonder if there is a culture who think the opposite?

I just find it absolutely hilarious that people get upset with posts like this. Guess we have some Sasquatch looking ladies here who got offended that some just dont like hairy legs and armpits on women.

Who's upset? The one person who objected started her post with "Big Martha here."

If that is aimed at me Lao, 1. Im not offended in the least. People like what they like. 2. I dont look like Sasquatch and 3. I was just giving a different perspective on the unshaven.

some goths or whatnot don't shave and smell bad because of no bathing or no deodorant but in Europe it's only prostitutes who shave their underarms or so the saying goes by many...go figure..I shave and probably get talked about by those who know I do....once you do it, you get used to it and can't stand the hair anymore...well, that's me anyway...but it's the bathing that is lacking in someone who smells bad, not the shaving

When I was in South America, you wouldn't believe how many drop dead beautiful women did not shave their legs or pits. To me it's a huge turn off because I'm used to American women who shave pits, legs, and bits.

I have read in the old west only prostitutes shaved their pits to show that they didnt have lice.
It is my understanding pit shaving became popular in the US when women started wearing short or sleveless dresses. It was the marketing industry that told us pit hair was unsightly and presented their adds with clean shaven pits.

Some things never change. Many are still slaves to the fashion industry.
