Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)
Same, I trim or shave because it’s more comfortable but if any guy made comments, that’d be the last time he got anywhere near. Happily married now and DH couldn’t care less. |
Totally agree. There is something that is such a turn off about a guy who cannot handle a woman in her actual state. |
If you didn't want it laser before, why laser now? |
Not every woman can catch a good man. |
Well, by your definition, a majority of men are "prissy AF" according to the NIH. But here's the kicker - even more women than men are prissy: "Most women (64.3%) and men (62.2%) preferred complete removal of female pubic hair." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10309412/ |
That is based on a survey of Brazilians

You are “proving” nothing except internalized misogyny exists. Not shocking. |
It's also not an NIH report, it's just an academic article posted to their website. Huge difference. |
There are two problems with shaving. First, shaving is much more likely to leave bumps or irritation, which is possibly the worst outcome of all aesthetically. Second, you can't see the whole area yourself (this would apply to any DIY effort, including waxing). I once hooked up with a lady who had the area completely shaved - except her butt was hairy! I just thought that was an extremely weird look. She probably didn't even think about it and didn't realize that that area is very visible to men during many sexual positions. |

Dear women,
Unless and until you don't care whether your man showers, uses deodorant, gets haircuts, trims his nails, brushes his teeth, and otherwise undertakes any efforts at personal hygiene, shut up about how men are terrible people if they don't accept women in their natural state. |
Women already do ALL of those things. And no woman is complaining about having to brush her teeth or shower. We're talking about not wanting to spend several thousand dollars annually on waxing all the hair off our nether regions to please men. Some women do that because THEY like it, which is fine. The point is that it's not a reasonable expectation of all women, especially when the standards for men are so much lower (and cheaper, and less painful). How about you expect your partner to have the same level of personal hygiene you have. So if, as a man, you think a woman should have to be required to remove most of her body hair, you have to do the same. If you're ready to wax your legs, your balls, laser off your armpit hair, shave twice a day to keep your face smooth, etc., you are more than welcome to insist the women you date do the same. |
You are proving the point. Women do all this and all expected to do much much more. |
How embarrassing for you. You thought the United States National Institutes of Health spent tax payer money to conduct a study on preferences on female public hair? |
| Woman here, 40ish, hetero, married. I’ve never done anything more than shave/wax the bikini line and trim up the front, and never had any complaints from DH or previous partners. |
Don’t forget chest hair removal! |
