Ladies - as a recently separated mum of 2 who has been out of the "game" for almost 20 years. I have a date! But what is the deal these days on how much hair remains below. Nice trim or all off? Wax or veet? Help! I am so not used to this!

Do what you want with your hair, not what you think you ought to do for men

ILoveTIFFANY · 18/07/2014 20:27

Trim!

After reading the title I was going to suggest hiring a gardener. That's probably not the appropriate course of action in your situation.

I am sorry but I saw your post and laughed. I think you should leave your pubic hair as it is. Can you imagine a man GHD ing his pubes for you? I know it is a serious question but I immediately wanted to write something silly such as you should dye it rainbow coloured and have it permed. If you Veet your pubes they are going to itch when they grow back. I agree with Lionheart, your pubes should be your affair. Just take your time over who gets to see them.

Don't let anyone check out your gardening until you know them well.

If a man turns down access to a gorgeous woman because of hedge topiary he's really not the man for anyone

BettyFlour · 18/07/2014 22:11

I think you should trim and wax

I knew a guy who decided against seeing a woman again because her mergers regions were unkempt. No great loss if he's such a twat.

But he told everyone she was like a burst mattress!

Oh I don't know Bafta. just might work too Wink

donkir · 18/07/2014 22:20

I think you need to ask yourself how you'd want your man to be. If you expect him to be tidy then you should be too it's only fair.
Personally I think it's there for a reason and it's staying there. To damn uncomfortable any other way.

AuntieStella · 18/07/2014 22:27

Using a gardener might be really good advice bafta Options open and all that...

Personally, I'd want a man who didn't actually care that much about amount of hair. If he's going to be unmanned by a natural bush, he might e a bit too precious to be a good prospect.

Bafta · 18/07/2014 22:31

Do what you want. I personally like it all off but I'm not you!

Freedom of choice and expression is great.

Sinfandel · 18/07/2014 22:54

These threads always make me Hmm.
OP do a board search, there are many on the same subject just in case you're a hairy hander getting your jollies.

Workingmum69 · 18/07/2014 22:54

Thank you ladies! You made me laugh and confirmed my thoughts - if he don't like me the way I am then he can p*ss off. Topiary was never my strong point anyway! And the thought of a hedge trimmer down there didn't,t really appeal!

Workingmum69 · 18/07/2014 22:57

And btw- please don't wonder - honest question from a v confused person who just needs some advice. Discussion ends.

Joysmum · 18/07/2014 23:07

...btw, enjoy yourself ;)

JackAndGills · 19/07/2014 12:31

I'd just enjoy the coffee and cakes - gardening wouldn't be on the agenda for a long while.

aylesburyduck · 19/07/2014 13:11

If he is afforded the privilege of viewing your garden, it would be quite rude to pass comment on the state of your topiary.

Should he be so ill mannered as to question when you last whipped out the strimmer, your response should be that you prefer a cultivated bush!!

hamptoncourt · 19/07/2014 17:56

BTW OP, you don't have to give a private viewing of your garden on a first date....or even a second, third or fourth date........

Just saying.

Relax. Have fun. Think about whether you like him rather than the other way round.

And the law decrees you must report back Grin

MadeMan · 19/07/2014 18:35

In my opinion men and women need some hair down there for definition. Like when men with double chins grow a beard to separate their face from their neck.

LoveBeingInTheSun · 19/07/2014 18:39

Have you decided how he should do his? Exactly!

Mandatorymongoose · 19/07/2014 19:19

go for something special? Grin
