It's just some nonsensical conditioning that has made us arrive at some hairless picture of desirable. Which incidentally could change in a whip of fashion. I haven't read all the posts so this it has probably been said, hairlessness is indicative of prepubescence. It may be more disturbing to actually find this attractive rather than the hirsuteness of a mature women.

    It's just the pits. They can have a hairy minge if they want just shave the armpits please.

    And this is from someone who is not attracted to women at all!

    I can guarantee you that you'd be wrong there. I'm male and live on this planet and would give a ****e. While I'm sure I'm a very special and unique individual I don't think I'm that special or unique. Not 1 in 3.5 billion unique in anyways. ;)

    It's not nonsensical. It's a matter of personal preference, sure. But I could easily present a perfectly intelligible meaning for why I prefer less hair, it shouldn't be that difficult to consider the aesthetic and practical reasons someone would not appreciate lots of hair in certain places.

    I won't even bother addressing the silly prepubescence ****e.

    Hmmm, the practical reasons tend to be flimsy enough. BO and whatnot. If a hirsute woman practices proper hygiene, cleanliness and BO won't be an issue, same as with men.

    Aesthetics and oral sex? Fair enough.

    Got it in one.

    You've been conditioned by commercials/porn to want women hairless.

    Wow, people just can't have free thought now-a-days can they? Nope, basically, because of TV ads I want to be an extremely ripped, intelligent, sensitive, attractive, anatomically perfect man who enjoys family saloon cars, mostly ale, a bit of stout and a bit of cider, not have dandruff in my hair and want my women to be size 4 supermodels with massive racks who are extremely suggestive and always up for the ride

    It really isn't normal to shave the hair from under your arms off - it's just what lots of people have been conditioned to prefer. I don't claim porn is responsible, I think the trend was around long before porn became as commonplace as it is today, I know when I was a young girl (I'm 43 now) it was something women did.
    By that logic, it is normal as its commonplace in society. Perhaps you meant not natural?

    Removing hair isn't in the same category as washing and teeth cleaning. Hair removal is a purely aesthetic thing - washing stops you from smelling foul and, possibly, from becoming infected (if you've a cut on your skin) and teeth cleaning stops teeth from rotting and falling out meaning you can still eat.
    And shaving your armpits reduces the smell from sweating and makes it easier to clean.

    Pathetic that this even turned into a debate, if a woman wants to be natural then it does not automatically mean she is a hate filled feminist, quite frankly if i had to go through the rituals of shaving/waxing all the things women shave/wax to conform with societies views then id be one hairy assed trollop.

    Badly bits on either gender looks horrible anyway.

    if the woman wanted to be natural she'd stop wearing makeup, perfume, let the oils in her hair build up over time to clean itself, stop wearing bras, stop wearing high heels and die in her teens or 20's of a preventable illness.

    stop using the word "natural" to imply that it's somehow better than shaving or that she's a more liberated individual. she wants to be hairy, more power to her. If the internet has taught me anything it's that she'll have no trouble finding men who aren't turned off by it.

    It's the kind of topic that just keeps on giving. Although like the numerous topics on "fat" women (all started by men, natch) there is the law of diminishing returns. No insights, just acres of the usual fear and loathing concerning women and their bodies. Yawn.

    How often do you shave yours?


    Ah, I just read your response to Sea Filly. This picture keeps changing, doesn't it? Yesterday, your argument was 'it's a personal preference' which, is fair enough. Now you're claiming it reduces smell and makes them easier to clean. In that case men should also be shaving under their arms, and regularly too, not just when the weather is hot.

    To be honest, I'd have far more respect for a man who wants a woman to shave under her arms if he didn't try to make it a female-only thing. Like one of the posters on here (think it was Gummy Panda) who says he does it too. It's the one rule for women, another rule for men I reject. I've been saying this since my first post: underarm hair isn't one of life's beautiful things ( in my view), so there really shouldn't be a gender divide regarding who it's acceptable on and who should remove it. I don't understand why this simple logic fails so many.

    I can't even remember the last time I shaved my legs. I have no need to, I wear pants all the time. And even when the weather was nice, I wore shorts with me hairy legs. My hair is blonde so I'm lucky.

    Underarm hair I tend to shave more regularly, even though I'd love not to - I have a mole smack bang in the middle of that area, so shaving is a real pain - I must use hair removal cream for that, and to be honest, waiting an extra 5 minutes in the shower for that to work, isn't always worth it.

    Pubes? I trim, when I remember...which isn't often.

    My boyfriend doesn't give a ****.

    Some people's reactions are just plain ridiculous. Vomit inducing? Grow the **** up. And g'way with yer hygiene arguments, that's just plain silly, and a weak stab at trying to get women to shave. One of the functions of pubic hair is to prevent infections.

    No wonder women feel they have to shave when people are calling them 'disgusting' or 'vomit inducing' - and people here trying to say there is no social pressures?? Whut??

    What I've done has nothing to do with women and what they should do, now does it? I have no idea where you'd assume that because I did something before, it should mean that women should only do it when I've done it. It's like saying "Well I only drink cocktails on holidays, so women should only drink cocktails on holidays too"

    I said from the start that it's hygienic. Maybe it wasn't in this thread though, there's been 3 of them on the same subject in less than a week.

    No there shouldn't. But it's funny how a lot of men would consider shaving it to be 'gay' or some other bs even though their favourite footballers/wrestlers/rugby players etc probably do it.

    As far as I'm aware, the main reason for pubic hair is to enhance the scent the body produces to attract a mate. This includes underarm hair by the way. This means that the more you sweat, the more you smell if hair is present as it acts as an added breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, there are hygiene reasons.

    I'm aware of that, but calling women 'disgusting' and 'smelly' if they don't shave, while not expecting males to shave is ridiculous. Especially when males sweat more than females. Where is the line where 'too unhygienic' is crossed? Having hair? There's nothing wrong with being a little smelly or sweaty and there's nothing wrong with having hair so long as you wash. Someone who has hair but washes more than someone without hair is going to be more hygienic, I feel.

    Looks like you and I agree on more than we disagree on. I'm glad we didn't call time on our discussion/chats yesterday.

    While I'm not sure I agree with you on the hygiene element of your argument, I accept that's your view and am delighted you're not part of the girls should do it but boys don't have to brigade.

    Thinking it's 'gay' for men to shave under their arms is just another branch of the social conditioning we're all subjected to. Although it doesn't affect everyone, and for those it does, it affects some more than others.

    For every 'ugh, women with hair on their bodies are disgusting' post on here, there have been enough 'don't be so daft' opposite posts from men to remind me (confirm what I already knew) that there are plenty of lovely men out there that haven't been programmed (either at all, or unduly) by the insidious 'one rule for men, another rule for women' that I've encountered at varying times throughout my life.

    I do, however, still think that (some) people - male and female -seriously underestimate the prevalence and power of conditioning.

    Hairy women are grand in winter but by spring they should be shaving themselves on a regular basis....not to do so is simply against human nature.

    Already stated I wouldn't call someone disgusting, but the appearance of hairy armpits is disgusting looking to me, especially when sweaty. I never called anyone smelly. And I'm sure if a woman asked a man to shave, they would.

    Depends where your preferences lye doesn't it. If you don't like the appearance or feeling of hair then you would consider it wrong disregarding your washing habbits.

    well that's just fact, still doesn't mean that people should accept and stop shaving it if they don't want to.
