Is shaving your arms a thing now?

[chubbymummy]

In the last week I've noticed two women I know with perfectly hair free arms. Do people shave their arms now? I've never noticed this before and although I'm now trying to look at everybody's arms to see if this is common place I'm thwarted by the fact that everybody else has been wearing long sleeves. How long has this been going on? Am I committing a huge social faux pas with my hairy arms?
Where else do people shave now? I just whiz the razor over my lower legs (perhaps a full leg if I'm going on holiday), arm pits and a tidy up of the bikini line (tried the all off thing and it was itchy as hell!!!). I'll also do my big toes if they sprout a couple of hairs.
I have my tash waxed occasionally, when I'm getting my brows done but should I be getting the rest of my face done too?
I'm now really paranoid that I look like a yeti.

I would never shave my arms and would be sickened by the thought of friendship with someone like the poster upthread who would judge me for that. Happily none of my acquaintances are so shallow. OP I really don't think that it is a thing.

I used to be extremely hairy with very dark hair and pale skin. I started waxing when I was 11 so have now destroyed a lot of the hair follicles. I grew up in a hot climate and was a ballet dancer. I wanted to show off my body and not all that hair, or be even sweatier, so I waxed. It was a vanity thing, I worked hard on my body, I wanted to show off the muscles, not all that hair. And this was long, long before 'porn culture' or internet. I don't know if it's a 'thing' but a lot of times, people who criticise others who wax or shave all over are not the types who have loads of dark hair on fair skin.
