I can understand not shaving the legs. But the armpits...No Way!! I can handle hairy legs on women (of the ones I've seen all the time), but I can't handle hairy armpits on women (repulsive).

Guys were shaving their entire bodies, chest, arms and legs in the 1990's?

I keep thinking of all those boy band music video where all the guys had bare chests (remember that one Backstreet Boys vid where they were bare chested and drenched w/ water?). may have started around that time

Cave-women? No, um, think 1950s.

Women didn't start shaving their arm pits until a guy in a suit on Madison Avenue started bombarding TV, radio and magazines with advertising telling women that they weren't really women unless they bought the Ronco Razor-Pit to shave their armpits.

Of course, we all know, and women agree, that a man in a suit on Madison Avenue knows everything and is always right, and we should do whatever he says, because he said so. After all, he is the man in the suit on Madison Avenue.

The majority of women in Europe, especially Eastern Europe don't shave. Nobody notices. Unfortunately that's changing as the man in the suit from Madison Avenue has begun his "out-reach program."

So, are there males out there who would date a good looking woman with hairy legs or underarms, or both?
Your relative was stinky cause she either didnt bath often or wear deodorant. She could of had some women problems but idk. Smooth, shaven or waxed legs on a women is sexy. I have seen a few women with armpit hair (in person) & it didnt bother me.

Replusive. I would never wear anything that showed my legs and and have them hairy. Underarm hair on a woman is disgusting. Whoever brought this idea about, it don't matter. It's cleaner and looks nicer. When I was at the gym last week there was a girl in there who lifted her arms and all I saw was a bush. I wanted to puke.

That is just disgusting. Blood stained handkerchief. Doesn't matter if the man's not a virgin though
