    It was 3 stray hairs, not a monobrow. Nothing a bit of spit wouldn't sort out.

    Yep he sounds like a real man :P

    tell him to grow a pair, I pluck my nostril hair :cool:

    I remember volunteering to have my chest/stomach waxed before.
    Now that was painful :D (think 40 year old virgin but I managed to finish it hehe)

    Well a lot of women expect women to be hairless all the time too - all these standards women feel pressured into maintaining: it's hardly fair to blame them all on men.

    I really liked my girlfriend doing this for me. :o
    We have recently uh, anyway, she won't be doing it anymore. I guess I'm getting a unibrow now!


    Also, it hurts more when somebody else does it OP, poor little guy. :-p

    I don't know - my boyfriend is on at me alot about being hairless everywhere. Maybe it's just him. Are other people's boyfriends more understanding? Like he'd really hate it if my legs weren't shaved and he'd make sure he'd point it out to me.:( we live together by the way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    My sister plucks my eyebrows every once in a while cos if she didn't, I'd be headed not towards Uni-Brow City but certainly towards Ah Here, That's Not Very Attractive Town. Just rub a bita savlon on the skin before the plucking and it doesn't hurt at all at all.

    I don't mind a bita stubbly legs. Not that I like it but like, who am I to tell a girl what to do with her legs? My ex would never let me touch her legs if she had the slightest bita hair-growth on them, which was weird cos I couldn't have cared less.

    Conditioning - it's come to be the norm; hair on the female body (small bit at the crotch aside) has come to be considered highly unappealing visually, thanks to our culture. And I'm not saying I rebel against it or anything either. I get de-hairing as early as possible - even a tiny bit of hair makes me feel really self-conscious.
    But generally speaking, I don't have time for women complaining about it when they keep doing it anyway.

    Well that's not me anyway.

    I don't shave my legs or underarms.

    What I was saying, is he is constantly on at me about it. He'll never let me just be. He'll constantly say 'would you not shave your legs' etc, and I'm like 'no, if you want me to shave my legs, why don't you shave yours then?'.....still doesn't shut him up tho, ah well I'm happy being hairy so he can lump it!

    No we don't, totally hairless would be weird.

    Women should Ideally have hair in 3 places.

    Head, Eye-brows and bajingo.

    I don't mind how long head hair is, Eye-brows should never be a Unibrow and Bajingo, keep it however, just not too eh....hairy, it's unhygenic.

    As Regards getting eye-brows plucked, never tried it never will, I do shave the middle bit though if I decide to have a shave one day(I rarely shave just outta pure laziness). There is nothing there, but I shave it anyway, just to be sure.

    So I think that's a nice compromise, ye keep hair where it counts, but ye leave us alone with ye're Guantanamo Bay torture kits.

    That is practically hairless.

    Why should we have to get rid of leg hair, armpit hair when men don't?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    You don't HAVE to do anything. Go on away and be hairy if you like!

    Who's making ye?

    Personally I hate a totally hairless crotch on a woman, because it doesn't look like a woman, I prefer just a little at least.

    Remember, noone will force you to be hairless, unless your OH gives you an ultimatum of Him or the Hair, I doubt he would though.:)

    Cheeky bollix tbh. Point out the next time he skips shaving his face.

    so which is it, do you shave sometimes or never? sorry just a little confused.

    i hate guys touching or seeing my legs if there's hair on them. never had a fella refuse to touch them or demand i get outa bed to shave them but they sure get touched a whole lot more after i shave them. my skin is too delicate for me to shave even every few days :( thinking of getting them lasered. personally i love the feel of smooth legs.

    I feel the same! I'd never let a guy near me if I hadn't shaved my legs, because I'd find it embarrassing. When I'm with someone, I like to be looking my best.

    I know that the rules slacken slightly, or tend to, if you get into a relationship. But I'm not sure I'd ... be comfortable with that, entirely! I like my men to believe the illusion that I'm pefect! ;)

    Ye my girlfriend did that to me all the time. I like stubble. :(

    Anyway, not much to ask so I shaved when I didn't want, not too hard to keep the other person happy.

    Waxing the chest and back is a doddle, not a hint of pain. You are a wuss. Not in fairness I would say the old sack and crack could hurt...

    Eye brow plucking? Meh who ever said that hurts.

    Tatoo's? The one I got I didnt feel a thing (top of the arm about the size of a hand).

    Starting to wonder if I just have the pain threshold of a woman!

    I did this to a guy I was seeing before. We were lying down, watching TV and I noticed this stray hair... I leant over and yanked it out with my fingers. He SCREAMED "whatthef*ckiyahhhdointomewoman?" at me. A normally mild-mannered man turned into a wild beast! That experience alone has warded me off trying to rid a man of his hair.

    I read teh second sentence as not on topic, he is just going on about getting off on duct tape when he gets hard. :-p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    I scream when my missus pulls eyebrows.

    It doesn't hurt; I scream because it's an affront to my manliness.

    Christ, imagine if I let her pluck my eyebrows, I could end up looking like one of those preened poofters; like Craig David or some such idiot.

    Ah I have to stick up for the guys and say that this is not true of all men.

    As a beauty therapist I have actually ventured to the 'southern regions' and back, sacked and cracked a couple of guys and used to be quite amazed at the amount of guys that came in for just a back wax...generally because their girlfriends didn't like a hairy back/shoulders/arms/whatever.

    Mind you, my ex left fingernail marks in the ceiling once when I plucked a stray hair from his nostril :D

    c)kinky suspension sex games involving plucking

    My husband couldn't care less. I have a mix and match attitude to hair removal. I do it when I could be bothered. Sometimes I'll go for the whole deal, waxed lower legs, pits and brazillian. (Usually if I get a special offer, got the whole lot + browshape and lash tint in April for £45). Other times I just shave when I feel like it. It brings variety.:D

    Odd thing to think about, but I suspect my dad is also the type who couldn't care less, as my mum has a pretty similar attitude to hair removal as me. (More accurately - I guess my attitude came from her). Though I doubt she'd ever be bothered with waxing.

    He might tease me about it, but he'd never be "on me" to shave if I hadn't. We live together as well, and a little bit more hair here or there has never bothered either of us very much.
