To think this woman should have shaved her arse?

I've just been into town and in the shopping centre had to use the escalator. In front of me was a woman I would say in her 30s wearing a pair of those stupidly short shorts with her arse cheeks hanging out and they were hairy! I'm talking thick, black pubicky hair.
I nearly brought my breakfast up. AIBU to think if you are going to wear those type of shorts you should at least shave your arse first?

I don't want to see the bottoms or tops of arses either. Saggy/pert/male/female.

flummoxedlummox · 08/06/2013 13:58

In all hairness yabu.

SirRaymondClench · 08/06/2013 14:00

Me either. Male or female. No pubes in public or inner or outer arse for me thanks.

They are two separate issues though OP:-

a) should arses be seen in public?

b) if a) is yes - should it matter whether it is hairy or smooth?

LadyRainicorn · 08/06/2013 14:01

I'm confused, is this a downy dark haired lady with the equivalent of leg hairs covering her arse, or actual pubes, as if she had a hairy arse crack expanding to take on new territories?

I'll confess to shaving my armpits, but only because I'm rather scanty on the body hair front and if I let them grow (which takes yonks, I shave maybe once a month) I look like I have mange. I could never be a proud hippy, I'd look like those boys showing off their chest hair when it's really just 2 unconnected rings of hair around their nips.

DonutForMyself · 08/06/2013 14:02

'Treasure trail' - love it. I think she was BU for wearing skimpy shorts full stop, but as I found it impossible to buy anything longer than mid thigh length this summer, I can see that she might have had problems sourcing summer clothing long enough to cover her hairy arse and had to buy whatever was in the shops.

yabu for judging her for having body hair, but not for showing it in public. I love a hairy man as much (well much more than) the next woman, but arse cracks, male or female, should not be visible in public from above or below in my book.

TigOldBitties · 08/06/2013 14:02

Exactly, I don't care who's arse it is, I don't want to see it.

Yesterday on the tube, I was sitting down and this girl was standing up so her bum and thighs were pretty much in my face, she was wearing exactly the kind of shorts you describe, in peach denim, arse all hanging out and the shorts like a crown on the two thunder thighs.

It was truly awful, I would have said she got dressed int he dark but she was clearly doing a 'look' so I think she must just have horrendous taste.

Some people are obscene.

SirRaymondClench · 08/06/2013 14:03

The answer to a) is no.

I'm still struggling!!

Shall i google image it? What key words do I use?

itsallshitandmoreshit · 08/06/2013 14:08

Have we clarified if is the actual buttocks, the hole or just a hairy crack? I haven't achieved full visualisation.

Wetwood656 · 08/06/2013 14:09

The thought of you bringing your breakfast up on the escalator is worse in my mind but then I hate vomit

Morloth · 08/06/2013 14:16

I dont want to see anyones bum, but I dont get why it being hairy is a problem.

If it is personal taste then why should she have shaved? Maybe she likes it that way?

People are crazy. SomeSometimes I think I am missing some key piece of information. ..

TheCatIsUpTheDuff · 08/06/2013 14:16

Horrid. She'd probably be mortified if she knew, though. It's pretty difficult to get a good look at your own arse.

SirRaymondClench · 08/06/2013 14:17

It was buttocks.

I've seen skiddy white pants over the top of knee dragging jeans before. Nearly took a picture to show the skanky git he needed to get handy with the wet wipes.

Hot pants are wrong, full stop.

LondonBus · 08/06/2013 14:24

She'd probably be mortified if she knew, though. It's pretty difficult to get a good look at your own arse.

I now feel compelled to check my own ares to make sure it's not covered in pubes.

ENormaSnob · 08/06/2013 14:26

I look like a patterdale terrier if I don't shave but even I don't have hairy bum cheeks.

And I don't wear a thong hotpants in public.

Iamsparklyknickers · 08/06/2013 14:26

That's a clip from Channel 4's embarrassing bodies on a girl with polycystic ovaries whose struggling with excess hair for those who are struggling to comprehend why or how a woman might be sporting the hairy look.

Joking aside, it's can be something women can't do much about and is a side effect of deeper issues. While I personally wouldn't go out flashing my hairiness around never mind my backside, it's not uncommon for a woman to be hairy because of medical issues and a little kindness wouldn't go amiss.

(although feel free to judge arses on show [gavel)

LadyRainicorn · 08/06/2013 14:27

BUT WAS IT PUBES?

You started off saying pubes, then talked about leg hair which made it sound like she was just a hairy lady. I'm confused, and I'd like to have the appropriate mental image.

Curly haired buttocks is a great band name.

SirRaymondClench · 08/06/2013 14:31

It was thick black hairs so am presuming they were pubes.
Either that or she normally has shaved her buttocks in the past and now they are thicker and blacker than before (like my leg hair would be if I didn't shave it now). It wasn't fine downy hair.
Iamsparkly I am a hairy woman if I don't shave etc so I do have sympathy for us more hirsute types however I don't get my hairy bits out in public.

OP posts:
Morloth · 08/06/2013 14:32

I don't remove any body hair.

I don't have my bum out but I will wear shorts and skirts if I feel like it.

The hair thing is weird.

But hey people do things like inject deadly toxins into their faces and shit like that.

It is all MAD.

Iamsparklyknickers · 08/06/2013 14:37

SirRaymond I'm agree - I was aiming the clip at those who couldn't comprehend of a hairy arsed woman!

The pube thing is up for debate though - I have some chin-fuckers who have definite 'pube' qualities to them. Never let them get long enough to see if they get curly though. Maybe I should experiment?

Inertia · 08/06/2013 14:38

I'd have just stood a bit further down the escalator so as not to have to look . Not bothered about anybody's hairiness- their hair is their own business.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 08/06/2013 14:43

Stop looking at peoples arses then and you wont 'bring up your breakfast'

pervert alert!

GobblersKnob · 08/06/2013 14:45

Was it this woman op?

I agree they ARE very short.
