Now, I am not saying you should make sacrifices to be liked by boys better. All I am saying is that’s a well known fact, it’s just not ok to say it outright anymore because equality and all that. It is up to you how to deal with the knowledge I shared with you, I am not going to come back to this conversation unless you bring it up, and thank you for listening despite feeling uncomfortable!

Do you also instruct your daughters to wear tight shirts and short skirts because that’s what boys prefer?

Wouldn't surprise me

Oh my god, no. Not only would that not be an effective motivator in my daughter’s case, it would make her doubt me as a sane advisor. It’s really not cool in her crowd to do anything whatsoever because that’s what boys prefer. Good lord.

She will of course say that it’s all stupid and how she doesn’t care but parental coaching is sinking in.
But yes I would totally expect a rebuff from my kid

Dressing for the occasion and in the most flattering way possible within that framework is important, wouldn’t you agree?

This article is mostly about armpit hair but OPs daughter is hardly alone, younger women are shaving less than we did
https://nypost.com/2022/03/02/gen-z-gals-on-growing-out-body-hair-its-sexy-and-empowering/"35 percent of Americans have no preference if women shave or not, while 7 percent said they should not shave. For respondents between the ages of 18 and 35, female fur proved to be even less of an issue, with a majority confessing that they either find armpit hair attractive or don’t care if a woman has it."

I’d like to meet a man openly admitting he prefers no hair in our turbulent times

Don’t worry, there are plenty of Andrew Tates out there

Hm, fewer than you think, or at least those who are open about it. Even a DH won’t always tell his DW he prefers when she shaves.

She is your daughter & you have a right & a duty to be concerned.

Have a polite & calm discussion with your daughter.

+1. If nothing else it's poor hygiene and looks dirty. I put it in the same category of - you must shower, you must wash your hair, you must keep yourself clean and presentable looking.

I wouldn't push right off the bat, but I would start a conversation and let her know that this is something that, as an adult, she needs to take care of.

But it literally is not poor hygiene and it doesn’t look dirty. I mean, maybe you have looked at a man’s leg hair and thought it was dirty, but most people do not.

But where does it stop? What about wearing a bathing suit without thr bikini line groomed? You all are ok with that?

It’s hair. We’re mammals. And stop looking at teenaged girls’ crotches.

Regardless of the answer, is that bad *hygiene*?

NP. Body hair certainly can be unhygienic for boys; parents need to teach them about the importance of showering, deodorant, etc. Most boys, at least when they become aware of girls judging them, learn to keep clean.

But everyone knows that ladies do not have unwanted hair on certain body parts.

DP but yes! I don't care about other people's hair. It's just hair. I mean there are men with Speedos who just have continuous body hair right? Where does their bikini line start and end? It's none of my business. Stop staring at people's crotches.

Nope. There are way more Andrew Tate fans than you could imagine. And even a non-radical 16-year old boy who doesn’t have great social graces will have no problem loudly proclaiming that he thinks leg hair on girls is gross.

I will say though that I personally would never say to my daughter “hey fyi boys like it when you do like this” with the heavy implication that they should do it. Boys also like tight clothes, right?

How is body hair unhygienic for boys?
