Not sure if I should bother?

Would you shave these legs?

On me, no, I'm hairier than that and don't shave (and wear skirts & kilts year round).

UCOinanOCG · 15/05/2021 18:18

I would but if they are your legs you have a choice to shave or not shave. It's up to you.

vodkaredbullgirl · 15/05/2021 18:18

Hell ya, they hairy as fuck Grin

Ghostlyglow · 15/05/2021 18:18

Do what you want. What other people think of you doesn't matter.

HosannainExcelSheets · 15/05/2021 18:20

Surely the owner of the legs can choose? I don't de-hair mine at all. They are significantly hairier than the photo, because that's the way my legs are.

Branleuse · 15/05/2021 18:20

depends if they were bothering me. The hair looks pretty fair. I had to squint and look close up to see it, so possibly wouldnt bother if mine were like that

candycane222 · 15/05/2021 18:21

No-one's going to be seeing them in this weather surely?

(not that I ever shave my much hairier ones, but that's because I'm an old fashioned feminist and don't care)

@Jongleurterre

Yes if they belong to you.

If they belong to a stranger sitting opposite you on public transport, I would refrain from doing so or find a way to get better acquainted.

UhtredRagnarson · 15/05/2021 18:30

Should I braid mine? Any other leg hair styling tips?

Would you shave these legs?
DarlingWithoutYou · 15/05/2021 18:31

I dunno but I am envious as fuck! Mine are big black stubbly fuckers.

Hallyup6 · 15/05/2021 18:34

Why do you care what others think? Do what makes you happy. I'd shave, but then it's part of my daily routine in the shower. My 17 year old daughter wouldn't, but then she's autistic and hates anything like that. Neither of us are in the wrong, and my daughter has never had a single comment about her legs even though she has dark hair and permanently wears shorts. I don't think other people would even notice yours.

noblegreenk · 15/05/2021 18:43

Depends on the occasion. Dressing up to go out or for an event, yes I would. Popping into Sainsburys or pottering around the house/garden, nah.

Allthereindeersaregirls · 15/05/2021 18:45

I wouldn't, but I don't shave anymore. When I did shave, it was daily, toe to bellybutton!

RosieLeaLovesTea · 15/05/2021 18:48

With your level of hair probably not 😊

normalsaline · 15/05/2021 18:53

What a weird thread Confused
Do what you want, why the fuck are you asking us?

MrsCatE · 15/05/2021 18:54

Yup. However, I am weirdly hairless apart from the ‘tache which pisses me off immensely. I’ve never shaved my legs, did my armpits a couple of times in my youth (after my mother presented me with a Disposable razor at onset on puberty - probably the same one I have now!), no arm hair and have bugger all down below. Hence being well pissed off at incipient upper lip beast and couple of stubborn bastard chin hairs - I have f* all eyebrows too!

What's the purpose of this post?Confused
To help somebody clearly incapable of making decisions for themselves.
thunderandsunshine01 · 15/05/2021 19:03

Yes

LindaEllen · 15/05/2021 19:05

If they were going to be seen by anyone yes. Otherwise no.

Everyday21 · 15/05/2021 19:11

Yes definitely

TheChosenTwo · 15/05/2021 19:15

Would I? Yes, definitely.
Should you? If you want! And not if you don’t want.
I give mine the once over in the shower most mornings (just part of the routine) but genuinely couldn’t care less about anyone else’s leg hair.

DumplingsAndStew · 15/05/2021 19:21

Surely the only important question is whether you want to shave them?

(Assuming they are yours)

HollyHocks13 · 15/05/2021 19:24

I definitely would, but that's my choice. What do you want to do (assuming they're your legs!), it's your choice and nobody else's.

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 15/05/2021 19:30

Nah. The hairs are pretty fair - you’d need to be looking pretty closely to notice them.

WhySoSensitive · 15/05/2021 19:34

@Jongleurterre

Yes if they belong to you.

If they belong to a stranger sitting opposite you on public transport, I would refrain from doing so or find a way to get better acquainted.
