I never shave my bikini line any more. I have sensitive skin and I hate how it feels. I wear bathing suits with shorts or a skirt. My mother have never shaved anything as far as I know. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in a bathing suit. She liked to read her book on the beach while my dad took us kids swimming. |
I am a woman but if I were a good looking high earning male, why would I date someone who isn’t shaving if there are so many women who do? Sure I could be struck by the lightning of love but let’s be realistic? Sorry if I am not progressive enough |
What’s prepubescent about shaved legs?! |
Oh boy some posters are going to eat you alive now ![]() I wouldn’t quite inspect my DD but I agree with the premise of hair being unacceptable in certain places |
Well fortunately not shaving at 15 doesn’t really have any long term effect. If OP’s DD decides she wants to snag a high earning male and 20 or 25 or 30, she can just start shaving again. |
Maybe she is pressured into not shaving (as we can see from the thread even adults can be very vocal about it), or she is thinking that maybe she is queer? |
True! Hopefully she won’t think it’s something shameful ![]() |
This is easily the saddest thing I've read on DCUM in awhile. "Years & years"???? What a godawful mother you had. |
Fifteen is too young to worry about this, but regardless, women who do things like sport hairy legs, dye their hair purple, wear doc martins, etc. are not on the lookout for a high-earning male. They will not be shocked to learn that men gunning for c-suite positions passed them over for blonde with smooth legs in heels. |
I insist on reading that post as sarcasm. |
Serious question, are people really looking that closely at people’s legs at the pool or beach? Because that’s really gross on many levels. Secondly, who cares if someone has hair or not? |
Well, hopefully there is no good looking high earning male concerning himself with dating this 15 year old girl. OP, I wonder if she was reluctant to talk a kitchen it be wise she heard your question as criticism. Many times mothers seem like they’re being critical to kids even when the mothers aren’t feeling critical. At least that’s been my experience both as a daughter and a mother. |
DD has pale skin and very dark hair on her legs, and a lot of it. I don't think you have to be looking that closely to notice it. As to your second question, we all know that everyone is obsessed with policing women's bodies. ![]() |
Eh, first woman who comes to mind when you say purple hair and Docs is a college friend who married a c-suite tech guy. So. |
Come on That type is looking for arm candy (smart arm candy, but there you have it) Tell your kid to go for it. Someone has to be the first wife. And my statement was that good looking doesn't correlate to high earning for males. But as I said, a full head of hair does. |
