Wild thing... da da, da da da, you make my heart sing, da da, da da da, you make everything groovy...
Aquafire, how did you get that I'm a hairy gorilla type? I don't recall saying anything to that effect here... although I sort of am. That's kind of scary.
The only allusion I made to my own hair growth is that I need to get a buzz cut every three weeks or so to keep it from getting too long. But I like to keep my hair very short. I have some mean cowlicks on the back of my head that conspire to make my hair stick straight up if it's more than an inch long.
i dont think its a total deal breaker unto itself, but shaved legs are preferable. as for the rest "if there's grass on the field, than the ball is in play." that reminds me, in a disgusting way, of a sickening halloween costume i saw.
personally, i'm a bit lax on shaving. i like when its a beyond a shadow and not yet beard. i once ventured to shave my gut hair, and that was a tragic accident i wont soon repeat. (no, it wasn't that bad, i'm still carryin all my parts.)
i prefer a light trim to leaving it bare or covered by a little strip
Now maybe some of you younger guys or ladies can fill me in. I turn 40, dammit, the day after tomorrow and am not entirely certain about current...er..customs among you wild and crazy under 30s. My question is this: Do I understand that, for young women, trimming or outright shaving of hair "below the navel and above the legs" (as one poster put it) is now the expected and done thing (as opposed to something a woman might do just to try it out on an occaison)? If so, I find this shocking. I guess that I cannot escape being an all-natural child of the 60s, but I say, "Bring on the hair!" 8)

i dont expect nor would i prefer it bare (cringing at memories of stubble). i simply would prefer if they take the little bit of time to keep it tidy, i do the same for them.

I just ask because I recently heard a reference to not at least trimming as being "so 70s". And I am not referring to just a trim of a few hairs, but the sort of trim that transforms "bush" into "lawn".
Well, some of us are lucky enough not to have to shave our legs to fullfil that arbitrary whim of fashion. (Personally I don't like the look of hairy legs on women, and if I had hairy legs I too would shave them, but that's just my own preference, rather unimportant and trivial).
By the way, why shouldn't guys shave *their* legs? After all, if men shave their faces, why not also their legs, or chest? Whats the deal? Or is it because many (most?) men out there are scared of being thought of as "gay" or "effeminate" because they turn out with smooth legs?

Like it lots
keep it real

they're on the same continuum . . .

I don't mind hair on the legs or under the arms
I would mind if their was LOTS of hair
but even I would think about trimmong if I had lots of hair (and I do have a sizeable amount)

Women's legs should be shaved. Period.
And they should be barefooted in the kitchen . . .

sad part is this is the first thing i thought when i read the thread title.
thought it was some GM chicken thing.
