In thinking people that don't keep their body hair under control are weird ?

I've seen topics on here about it and really have trouble understanding why anyone would want hairy legs or even worse hairy armpits and a crotch like a badly kept privet ?

Also I think Muslim men are encouraged to shave a lot of body hair off. They might be muslims

I dont mind anyone seeing my armpit hair. What is wrong with it?

I think men who shave/wax their chest hair are creepy unless they're Olympian swimmers. As is anyone who cares enough about pube removal to be judgey either way.

Noone sees my pubes other than DH. We both like them trimmed rather than tangled, but are not into the prepubescent look. But that's us. Don't give a shit about anyone else and wish judgey people would bugger off and get a life.

My brother has his chest waxed and came in with threaded eyebrows the pther week. My mam said she nearly fell off recliner laughing when she saw him Grin His girlfiends a beauty therapist

Don't tell me - he also wears man-cleavage-revealing V-neck t-shirts too :-D

Nar but she is doing a laser teeth whitening course so who knows what next ha

YABU why is it weird? I think you're weird for thinking it's weird...for some people it's just not a priority and actually I don't even think about it unless I'm going to be wearing a vest top or skirt or shorts or something. but otherwise it's not something I worry about
Clearly you do

I like my fur, it stops me getting sunburned in summer and keeps me warm in winter, yes, my legs are that hairy.

I sometimes trim (not shave) underarm hair if it starts getting caught in my gym tops, that is actually painful.

I am sure plenty of people are are horrified by my blatent hairiness at the gym, where it is all on show, I don't give a fuck.

DH is also very hairy, I like it.

On a side note, I have lovely straight silky pubes. They are also gingerish, it isn't my fault most people are not so lucky. Wink

At the last gym I went to one lady had designs in her pubes, I thought that was most excellent but the upkeep would be far too time consuming.

Grin Only on MN would a thread about body hair descend into a row heated discussion.

OP YABU - just IMHO because not all of us have the time or energy to bother. My son is disabled, I actually LOVE 60 mins in the bath to deforest my legs and underarms etc. In reality it happens about once a month so that's my sole contribution to keeping it all under control.

I don't worry about it in other people either.

I have mine in a bag in the back kitchen being cured for use in horse collors

God not this again. It's personal choice. It's not a Western 'thing', and it's not new either. Many cultures have been practicing depilation for 100's, if not 1000's of years.

I'm fairly sure there wasn't a burgeoning porn industry back then either.

ScousyFogarty · 27/05/2011 16:11

Sarah, never despair. Nil desperandum epidural. There were a lot of good cryptic jokes told about G.Bush when he was first elected

beanlet · 28/05/2011 19:57

Yeah, I know. Amazing hypocrite, me. Hmmmm ... yes, I do think I judge vain ridiculous people who judge others for such trivial things.

ArsumLardis · 28/05/2011 20:05

My dad has lovely ginger furry arms and legs. DC like playing with his fur as much as I did as a child.

ArsumLardis · 28/05/2011 20:07

Actually, I think there has always been a burgeoning porn industry, cavemen were up to it, too.

Himalaya · 28/05/2011 21:26

I can't keep my body hair under control. My armpit hair is running wild playing 'knockdown ginger' around the neighbourhood, and my pubes are out mugging old ladies in the precinct.
