Would you rather have the body of a supermodel or have no body hair?

Prompted by a) accidentally catching sight of myself in the mirror when getting out of the shower, and b) a session with the tweezers.

I can’t decide. I need both but I suppose I’d go for the no excess hair. In theory (and I do mean theory - there’s 0% chance of it ever happening) I could diet/exercise/have surgery to get a supermodel-esque body.

Body of a supermodel please (as long as that means I don’t have to eat like one!).

BananaSpanner · 05/07/2022 22:55

The supermodel bod! Easy.

Supermodel body and a razor 🤷‍♀️

If I have the body of a supermodel can I still shave?

theclangersarecoming · 05/07/2022 22:57

Supermodel, no contest! I don’t mind body hair tbh and don’t find it even remotely offputting; it just is! I do shave my armpits and occasionally shave my lower legs (couple of mins in the shower) and tweeze the odd chin hair; but there ain’t no way I’m doing anything more than that. (As a lesbian I’m always happy to see natural body hair on a woman, too!)

Supermodel. I have post menopausal thin hair, so if I looked like a supermodel I could wear a wig, and not have to bother shaving my legs.

Quantly · 05/07/2022 22:58

Hmm. So far the supermodel option is a clear favourite!

I don’t find body hair off putting except for my lovely moustache :)

A different question - would you rather have a great body or a great face? Face for me!

CeeceeBloomingdale · 05/07/2022 23:01

I'm torn but I'm edging towards body hair free. Dark, thick hair is no fun.

Face for sure

ChinBristles · 05/07/2022 23:02

Id rather have the body (assuming I don't have to diet & exericse a lot to keep it) and spend time/money on hair removal. If the choice was being a really hairy supermodel and not be allowed to remove body hair then no, I will stay short and shaved!

FTMFML · 05/07/2022 23:03

I’m going to go against the grain with no body hair!
Much less hassle… and I wouldn’t want to be tall!

Question 2… going to go with face!

ChinBristles · 05/07/2022 23:03

Great teeth or great hair?

Teeth for me!

Deadringer · 05/07/2022 23:05

Supermodel body please. I don't mind body hair at all.

GrootUnforgiven · 05/07/2022 23:05

Does everyone else around me have to make the choice too? If so, hands down supermodel.

I don't shave my fanny ever, and could easily put up with hairy legs and pits as I only bother with that occasionally, or I wearing jeans for the rest of my life for the supermodel body.

I'd feel so insecure with no body hair, I can't draw eyebrows on very well and while I think some women look great bald, I would feel intimidated being a baldie in my natural body surrounded by beautiful supermodel bodies.

Face. I have Bells Palsy since a child and I'd love to be able to smile properly .

ticktickticktickBOOM · 05/07/2022 23:06

Supermodels are scrawny and bony, I'd rather have boobs and booty anyday - perfectly smooth to boot would be the biggest bonus!

MuchTooTired · 05/07/2022 23:55

Supermodel body, for sure. I’m not thinking super skinny body, more boobs, bum but all perfectly toned without having to work out for it please. I could shave/get waxed etc.

Even if I had to be hairy, I’d still take the supermodel body because I’d be so damn confident in my perfection I’d not care about hair in places it should be 🤷🏻‍♀️

mackthepony · 06/07/2022 03:10

Er, did the op mean something else?

Supermodel, obviously?

mnnewbie111 · 06/07/2022 05:08

No body hair, but I'm a hairy one and already slim (kind of)

mnnewbie111 · 06/07/2022 05:09

Oh and I wouldn't want to be too tall, I like being petite but not sure why

Kittycaz · 06/07/2022 05:59

Supermodel body, then I'd get a job as a supermodel rake in the money and spend it on laser hair removal.

Ravenclawdropout · 06/07/2022 06:04

Hard to imagine the amount of hair we could possibly be talking about that its removal would beat out a supermodel body?

Is it supermodel body with orangutan level of body hair?

StarlightLady · 06/07/2022 06:09

No body hair every time. Which is as l am anyway. So called super models do not look real to me.
