Appearance: How much leg hair is too much?

    OK so I was wondering how much leg hair is too much for girls. Like what do they find unattractive. I dont want to shave my legs because well I feel it is a bit feminine (call me what you want lol) and I wouldnt like shaven legs. But on the other hand I dont want huge hairy legs that are a complete turn-off. Should I trim my leg hair or is it fine. So basically is there too much there that will turn people off or is it fine. Should I trim?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with your legs. Myself or no other girl I know would care that a man had hairy legs. I would be more put off by shaved legs on a man tbh.
    That's just me though, some girl's probably do like less/no hair. It would just depend on the person themselves.

    Men are fine with hair on their legs, I would be turned off if my boyfriend shaved his legs. Don't do it!

    thanks , just been on my mind a while now, me and a few friends were talking about it when we were at the gym and i wanted to get views from other people, thanks :D

    Hair looks good on men's legs! I have a friend that canoes so he shaves his legs and it creeps me out :/ You don't seem to have too much hair to me :)

    OP, your legs are perfectly normal boy's legs and you definitely do not need to shave, trim or otherwise! Like the girls above, I think that shaving your legs would be less attractive. Anyway, your legs aren't especially hairy at all so put your fears to rest! The only hair a man should worry about is nose and ear hair. Hairiness is manly, which is why we women pretend we don't have any :p

    There is no need for men to shave their legs. Honestly your legs look fine. I find men shaving their legs a bit strange tbh.

    Op, don't shave or trim them, shaved legs on a man is just weird!! I don't know any girl who would care about how much hair was on a mans legs!

    Men are supposed to have hairy legs. I'd find it weirder if you didn't.

    My boyfriend shaved his legs once for a costume before we got together, it still horrifies me to this day *eeeeeekkkkk*

    I agree with all the others - shaved legs on a man is just plain weird (unless he's a serious swimmer, or other relevant sport).

    Funny you should mention talking about it at the gym, I've definitely seen a trend with people who are really into fitness that they like less body hair on guys. Not everyone, but definitely a trend. Personally I think the hairier the better, seems manlier to me. Anyway, I'd be worried if my boyfriend was better groomed than me!

    OP, leave your bloody legs alone!! Shaved legs on a man just looks odd


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    Leave your leg hair. Men are supposed to have hair on their legs.

    Bot strange for professional and top amateur cyclists, footballers, rugby players and swimmers.
    They all save their legs.

    Those guys do look weird with shaved legs, but there is need for them to do it.

    Hairy legs on a man are just fine. Trust me, a woman doesn't even notice them - that's how normal they are.

    Now hairy backs - that's a different story :)

    Having lots of male friends involved in those sports, and going out with more than one man (including my current boyfriend) who shaves his legs, I don't find it a bit weird. In fact, it's the norm for me and think it looks really good on cyclists. ;)
