    and actually, NOT shaving, gives you soft smooth legs.........provided you stroke in the direction of hair growth.

    How does NOT shaving give you smooth legs???? I think the OP's problem with her is that shes got hairy legs.......not which direction he should be stoking them

    stubble is prickly, op complaining of prickly hair when he touches her skin, therefore stubble on leg.

    when legs have not been shaved for few weeks depending on hair growth then hair grows down leg. does the hair on your head feel prickly when its slightly longer?? No. Therefor longer hair on legs is not prickly, stubble on legs is prickly.

    by the by you need a bit of hair on the legs to actually wax them, so if she is a waxer then maybe she just needs to leave them grow for a week or two before she gets them done.

    op by the sounds of it if i had your problems id be one happy lady.

    ehh... what imperfections? hair on the legs is perfectly natural and normal, despite what society tries to force upon us!

    Yup, totally agree.

    this 'issue' says so much about what's wrong with attitudes these days...

    Pubic Hair is normal, Barbie Dolls are not - deal with it!

    Err... Care to reread the OP?

    I'm not sure what I think about this one... Seraphina, your stand is nice on paper, and I'm not saying you should have to constantly shave your legs, but when society has already set up this idea and the OP & all us silly boys were raised into it, there's always going to be a slight feeling of discomfort at excessive leg hair on a lady. There shouldn't, as it's physically natural, but there is and will be until such a time as all girls stop and a generation of boys grow up accustomed to it. but if she does it sometimes (yet not often enough) it isn't some stand on principle, it's just lack of maintenance.

    I'm sure you'd dislike guys having rash inducing 2 or 3 day stubble when kissing (anywhere) so you can maybe see that cactus prickly legs aren't the best for intimacy?

    Hmm... okay, that one makes sense. But the one I quoted still said "pubic hair" in your response to a post about leg hair in this thread about leg hair... Also, it's all the one page for me :P

    im all for upkeep, we expect our men to keep up on it, so why shouldnt we?!?!?!!!!
    and pardon me for being blunt, but in my opinion everyone should keep their pubic area nice and tiddy, men and women alike, who likes fighting through a forrest????
    ughhhhh reminds me of old 60-70's porn grossss!!!!

    tell immediately that her imperfect legs are a problem for you, that way she wastes no more time on you thinking that you might be a nice normal human being!
    out of curiousity, do you have your legs/chest/arms/face smooth shaven and hairless 24/7?
    if not, why not? might it be becaiuse you simply have more to do with your life than preen your body so some a-hole might "love" you.

    Why cant you just be honest with her.

    Have a glass of wine or 2, tell her you are freaked out by the feel of her hairy legs cause your a shallow bastard...(Not that I think it)

    Make it sound like you are the weirdo..

    Tell her that you used to share a bed with your brother when you were younger and the feel of hairy legs reminds you of him...:eek:

    Without prompting, she got 'em waxed last weekend.

    Pure bliss!

    And for the feminist beard-rash covered cavewomen among you, I did ask her (after her waxing) whether my hairy legs bothered her. The answer was no: she finds it masculine.

    One of the funniest things I've ever heard was that, while interrailing, my best friends boyfriend (who she'd only recently started sleeping with) asked her "So... Are you planning on shaving your legs any time soon?".

    OP, if she waxes, that's why it's stubbly. You have to wait until the hair is a certain length before you can get waxed again, so there's bound to be a period of stubble.

    Thats why I won't wax my legs, it would probably take about three months for me to grown enough hair.

    She can use things such as Veet to keep her legs smooth and soft every day...or you can buy yourself a pair of gloves :D:D

    If she has a George Bush, it sort of follows suit that the other areas will be pretty much unkempt also.

    she is prob stuck on her ways & will prob only shave at Christmas & her birthday.

    U could drop the hint by buying her lady shavers, razors, shaving foam & give her vouchers for beauty saloons. That is only redeemable for full body waxing

    Personally, I shave my legs every day or two days just because I love the smooth feeling its more feminine. Waxing doesnt have the same effect for me, on other areas perhaps but thats probably for a different forum!! :D If I was with a guy Id certainly want to be as smooth and sexy as possible, no guy likes rubbing their hand up sandpapered pins!!

    maybe its ok for women not to be absolute sex magnets every night of the week
    do you always look your best in bed?
    tell your girlfriend and you'll be seen as petty.
    buy her pajama bottoms if it bugs you so much!

    Next time her stubble scratches you in bed just let out a pained "Owwwwwww" and when she asks what the problem is just tell her it must be her stubbly legs and laugh it off. She's bound to get the message.

    just start calling her cactus, especialy when ur out in public, let ur voice be heard around the room.

    CACTUS WILL YOU GET ME A DRINK    .


    People will be curious as to why you call her that just as cactus is coming back, time it where your telling them while she is there

    Cactus will soon change her masculine ways!

    If you want your balls to remain intact, cactus is not such a good idea!!
    Regardless of whether Ive a boyfriend or not I like to look half decent in bed- I live with four guys I cant have them witnessing me like a slob!!
