AIBU to have hairy legs this summer?

[Franklyfrost]

I’m busy and don’t want to shave or wax my legs this summer but I do want to wear floaty dresses, short shorts and sparkly sandals.

My legs aren’t very hairy, just long thin patchy mangey hair from below knee an ankle. It would look better if I had a luscious thick black pelt.

Should I sod it and keep the hair or would it turn your stomach? I don’t want to scare small children or have people think I’m unkempt or dirty. But also I don’t want to act as if I’m ashamed of my leg hair (even if I am).

@Maggiesfarm Yes!!! In an ideal world it could actually be fun, rather than an anxiety laden chore. I'm really liking your moon and stars idea. There could be a whole new design/business opportunity for people who are good at leg hair design-shaves with a teeny tiny razor.

And lifting your arms could be a chance to show off your new pit-dye style. Maybe suffragette stripes would be a good place to start

OP you are definitely not being unreasonable. Go for it

I wish I could stop waxing but I have dark hair so it's very noticeable against my skin. I wax but it doesn't take that long and the hairs grow back patchy and fine.

Don't do it OP. Wax your legs

@mustlovegin

Don't do it OP. Wax your legs

God no. Why would anyone want to do that?!

I went ages without shaving my legs just there but I waxed them the other day and they feel great.
I wouldnt go out with hairy legs. I do personally find it looks horrible. I remember my mum sometimes having hairy legs and I though "you need to shave". Obviously didn't say anything bit I deffo had that thought. Rightly or wrongly. Guess I'm socially conditioned...can't help it

Because it lasts longer @lst??

It wouldn’t bother me just as a random person seeing you on the street or whatever. But it would put me off from perusing a relationship/sex with you. So I guess it depends if that’s something you want to consider in your choice.

@Horehound

Because it lasts longer *@lst*??

No thank you!

@lst Ok well I'm just telling you why people do it rather than shave every second day or daily even...
