Excess hair on a woman

LegacyUser

I was reading another thread just there, about someone who had two different sized boobs. A lot of men were reassuring her, but one said they'd be put off by hairy breasts. I have this problem. It started a few years ago, and I now have hair growth in other places on my body where I'd rather not have...

Most of the time, I don't really think about this (probably because I'm not in a relationship)... but, this just got me thinking, would/are guys really put-off by this? Do many women experience this? I went to see the doctor last year as it started to worry me a bit and I became a bit self-conscious. She reassured me it was 'normal', that parts of some womens' bodies are more sensitive to testosterone. That's all fine but I'm interested in hearing what guys have to say, would you deem me as a freak?

You are not a freak.
If you want to wax/pluck for you own sake fair enough but really real women have more hair then just thier eye brows.

What? You ...you ruined it all .... get out *points*

[/sarcasm]

Unless you look like a sasquatch when you take your clothes off, or have more hair on your body than the guy you're after then it's all good - and even then I'm sure some lads out there will still enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with you OP

Loads of men like women to look like real natural women and not some barbie lookalike toy. Hair on a woman is not a bad thing OP.

As far as I know, the only part of a woman's body that doesn't have hair is the palms of her hands and soles of her feet.
It is everywhere else. Some people have hair that is more visible than others - it's normal. Personally, I feel the sensual possibilities of hair are much undervalued, and I greatly dislike the current fashion to whip it all off and the complexes many women develop about themselves as a result.

This is the op...

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps, 'freak' was too dramatic. I was more wondering if guys would be put off by it.

I love hairy girls. We should meet up

You could always get laser hair removal also, probably better than waxing or plucking your breasts.

Depending on how "excess" you are talkign about, it is one of the symptoms of PCOS.

I am a 25 year old female and I have the same problem as the OP. I have hair on places you wouldn't even imagine. It is disgusting. I am not in a relationship. I never had sexual relations. If I did, I would shave it all off. I do shave my face, neck, and chest. I just started shaving my arms 2 years ago, but before that I had hairy arms and that was disgusting. I use to bleach them blonde before that. I was so embarrassed to wear short sleeves in the spring and summer because it was very embarrassing. Shaving my arms was one of the best things I ever did.

I had laser treatment on my face and neck, and that didn't work because I had a harmonal problem. So $2,000 later, that didn't work. There is 2 grand I'll never get back.

Would I be put by a girl with a few hairs? No. Would I be put off by a girl with dark, noticeable hairs on her breasts and other areas? Well, yes - I would. I mean there's a potential world of difference between what different people interpret as 'hair in places it shouldn't be'. Could be someone susceptible to anxiety brooding over a hair or two - could be a girl with excessively hairy areas. Your description is pretty vague. But to answer it truthfully - and come on, there's no point just firing off 'Ah ya its grand some lads probably like it' type of answers - it would be off putting for most guys if it's noticeably excessive and constantly present.

Waxing maybe? Again, depending on the severity. It might not be remotely as bad as you think. Plus - nothing wrong with removing it - when I said guys would be put off to varying extents, I didn't mean because you're hairy - more just the presence of the hair. If you did something to lessen it's impact then all would be fine for the vast majority of guys. I had an ex who was quite hairy naturally, in fact she used to even shave her chest on occasion, something that deathly embarrassed her. Did it bother me? Not in the slightest, she was a very attractive girl and it's not like she can help the way she is...

Basically guys wouldn't be put off by a girl being prone to excess hair, just by a girl who didn't do anything about it! And again, I'm sure you're probably just over-reacting. Most girls, up close or in a certain light, have small but visible hairs on their face/body/whatever. It's natural.

in itself, it's not a big problem but you would be covering all bases (including that of your own confidence) if you took some action. Just don't let it take you over.

trust me, if a little hair on your breasts is enough to turn a man off you then you're better off without him in the first place. There will be somebody who appreciates you enough that it doesn't matter in the slightest.

You're going to get a lot of people reassuring you to spare your feelings and that's fine, if it is in fact the case that they don't mind, but every guy I know, myself included would be put off by this. If you wax/pluck whatever then grand but I'd do something about it if I were you.

what guys say and act like with their mates is often completelty different to how they act when with someone they care about. I've no doubt it's off putting to you, but it's not off putting to everyone, and certainly not to the extent that it would stop someone being interested in her.

Yes, everybody has different tastes, but I think you would find few that would be turned on by having hairy nipples.

Its not like its a big deal, two seconds with a shaver and the issue doesn't exist anymore.

Given that there is the possibility that the person you're with could be very turned off by the said hair. I see no reason why you would insist on keeping it.

Two seconds with a shaver and the hair will grow back thicker and stronger the next time, thus creating a greater problem.

Honestly, if I had an issue with body hair I'd consult a beautician, a session of electrolosis or something could do wonders.

I didn't realise there was body hair that you couldn't shave off, now that would be freaky:p

Not a fan of the hairy women I must say, was meeting a girl before and she had dark hairs on her arms, didn't see anymore of her body as that was enough to put me off.. I didn't really like her anyway, if I did I may have gotten over it.
