Chicks with Hairy Pits!!!! Seen on TV!!!!

Boy!
I just got grossed out totally!
Bummed badly man!
Whacked.
Stunned.

I was watching a news report on West Palm Beach, Florida teens protesting an 11:00 curfew for them, which affects St. Patrick’s Day. Seems they have a curfew Thursday through Sunday at 11:00 normally, enforced by the law.

I was a bit bored by it all, but when the camera started picking out these cute teen chicks, well, being a lecherous type of guy, I paid closer attention, especially since they were bouncing around and many were not wearing much up to. (It’s hot there.)

I never saw so damn many hairy girl armpits in my life! The ones yelling the loudest had weeds sprouting from under their arms. Great gnarly mats of tangled growth! I’m sorry, but I expect a guy to have hairy, stinky pits, but the same on a girl just grosses me out!! Girls are supposed to be somewhat more delicate than guys, which is part of their attractiveness. I mean a guy doesn’t want to date someone who looks like another guy, well most guys anyhow. Hetero guys.

Did I miss something in the fashion changes of teens? Are hairy pits in? I hope not. Please tell me that they’re not! If they are, that means within a few years, young women will be sporting hairy pits. I can’t stand that!

I mean, I have to put up with the pleated pants they wear that make them all look 20 pounds heavier and matronly, the big, mannish, blousey shirts, worn with the ugly pants that add another 10 pounds and the current ‘county-peasent-farm wife’ look of ankle length, shapeless blue jean bib front dress, worn with a button down, shapeless fish-wife blouse that does absolutely nothing but ruin their figures.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
Please assure me that I’m not.

As a woman (32), I find the removal of body hair to be a royal pain in the ass, time comsuming and frankly I have better things to do. I am glad to hear, 'sposedly, that this insane idea that a woman should be hairless, outside of long tresses, that the teens are grasping on the idea of letting her body do as it will do.

If I remember correctly, this practice didn’t start until the 30’s or 40’s mainly because of panty hose, at least the leg shaving (possibly the 20s).

Personally, I haven’t shaved my underarms in two weeks and you know what? I don’t smell. My legs are going on about a month and a week or more now.

But, I find the practice of people going natural, provided they keep themselves clean, an okay thing. Hairy pits or not, as long as you don’t let yourself stink like you rolled in a garbage dump…and most women can smell fine even with hairy pits.

Nope, Spyder, you’re not the only one. That look on women is absolutely repulsive.

(Now let’s sit back and see how many “natural” women chime in with their comments about how liberating it is to let themselves grow free. That doesn’t make it any more attractive.)

“Natural” is not necessarily better. It is natural for me to NOT shave, but I do it because it’s part of the grooming process that society deems appropriate. Of course it’s a “royal pain in the ass,” but I do it anyway.

Oh, my God, Spyder! You’ve been traumatized! You should sue or something! Don’t these girls have any more consideration for your delicate feelings than that? Why on earth should YOU have to put up with their dressing and keeping their body hair the way THEY like, anyway?

Why, back in MY day in the seventies, all we girls wore shirtwaist dresses, pearls, and high heels to protest gatherings, and you can BET we shaved off all our body hair! Why, none of us would have ever caught husbands if we hadn’t!

Of course, there will always be those women who like to keep their armpits and maybe even their legs hairy just so they know they won’t have to deal with men like you. Maybe that’s what they’re up to.

I honestly don’t see what is so freaked out about a woman who chooses not to spend the hours and time putting herself in some mold? Cindy Crawford, Elle, Kate Moss? They make money for that, I don’t. I don’t care if I am hairy, I don’t get paid $20 million a year to plaster my face on magazines and show my face on TV commercials.

Honestly. Hairy body parts? I rarely wear makeup anymore, except mascara and the occasional blush. I don’t go to bars so I don’t need to put on a face like Mimi on Drew Carey. As for the body hair, UGH, what a crime against humanity! :wink:

Hey, we all have body hair and yes I do find some men very attractive who have mustaches and beards. I also find men with balding hair to be a attractive. But it usually has to do with the man inside that attracts me and I can say this with complete and total honesty as balding men used to repulse me until I met an ex, who we are extremelly good friends now and well we still feel that attraction everytime we meet. The problem is our lifestyles are so opposed.

In my eyes, it is some form of “conformity” (sp) that started this hairless chick thing, God knows who started it, that if it weren’t a norm it wouldn’t be a big deal.

I still shave my legs and underarms but I am not fanatical about it. I don’t need my nails painted pretty and my feet having pedicures. I have better things to do with my time and yes if I have a date, the leg hair and underarm hair would come off…but wait till he gets to know me better. HAHAHAHA, that’s the surprise!

AH HA!!! YOU SEE!! You’re creating us! You’re telling us what is presentable by your actions. If whenever I go out on a date, and my date has shaved, WHAT am I supposed to believe is sexy, a clean shaven woman or a stubbly woman? AHHH HAAA!!!

…I am just the monster you created…

Sorry guys, but YOU are the ones with weird attitudes. Hate to be the one to tell you this, but the parts under their bikini bottoms are hairy too.

And girls fart just like men do.

And they tend to have wider thighs than men.

Breasts don’t point upwards as often as you might think.

These are facts of life, guys. If you don’t like it then I’m sorry, but it’s you that’s in error.

Do you also find breast-feeding a disgusting sight?

Do you think birth is a repulsive, sub-human activity?

Men, MTV is not a good guide to the values you might want to carry through life.

Rounded, curvaceous mature women, hairy, farty and with a delicate fragrance of womanly hormones know what Good Sex is about. Underfed, neurotic, skinny-arm, chemical-smelling, tortured-hair complaining bitches are about Bad Sex.

In terms of Survivor, you can have Jerri, I’ll take Mad Dog. hehehe.
love ever Redboss

I’m betting Redboss gets a lot more action than Spyder or nineiron.

Q: Do you know why the bride is smiling as she is going down the aisle?

A: Because she knows she has:

  1. shaved her last armpit
  2. shaved her legs for the last time
  3. held in her last fart
  4. held in her last burp
  5. picked her bum discretly for the last time
  6. picked her nose discretly for the last time
  7. smiled politely at your jokes for the last time
  8. be polite to your friends for the last time
  9. used the toilet with the door closed for the last time

Major Feelgud!

That was a good one!

::whap, whap, whap::

Sorry, that was my brain splatting against the four walls again. It’s damned hard to keep current with the trends on female body hair. Shave, don’t shave, wax, don’t wax, which bits and socio-political implications thereof. (Forsooth, forthwith, parties of the first and second parts…and which parts…)

Does this strike anyone else as purely ludicrous? It’s just hair grown by half the ^%#@! human race. Generalizing wildly, the female variety tends to be somewhat finer and silkier in texture but it’s still just hair. How in the known universe did something this basic morph into such a big deal?

(Truth in self-editing: I wrote “big hairy deal” then deleted it, wincing.)

I shave legs and underarms every morning while showering. Takes 2 minutes, tops. It’s habit, mostly, and I enjoy the feel of smooth skin. ::nearly wobbles off course into socio-political quagmire:: The old rhetoric is wrong. The personal can be political but then again it can just be mundane, quirky personal.

All this over follicles?

Mind reeling, not for the first time,

As a guy (20), I personally couldn’t care either way - if a woman’s beautiful, she’s beautiful whether she shaves or not. There’s a lot to admire about someone who’s comfortable with who they are when society tells them they shouldn’t be. Besides, there’s much more skin on their legs than my face, and I hate shaving, so I wouldn’t blame them for not wanting to.

Yes, He does.

Hairy armpits on a woman is freakin’ disgusting. So are hairy legs, hairy upper lips, and hairy feet. But hey, these are just my opinions. Sure these undershaven women may be nice on the inside, but unfortunately for them this is the real world. What people do with their bodies is their own business. But a question for the hairy-armpit-women - What if you got married to a great guy, a wonderful guy, the guy of your dreams; then one day he stops trimming his nose hairs and his toenails? Sure, he’s still as clean as he ever was, but now maybe not so good looking, and that single hair growing from the mole on the side of his nose that he used to pluck is now long enough to wrap around his head three times. Would you still find him as attractive as ever? Would anyone? I think not.

We never claimed that body hair was unnatural, Redboss. We just have the “weird” attitude that people should groom themselves. Body odor? It’s natural, but I would hope we all try to avoid it.

**
And girls fart just like men do. **

And therefore they should do it as loudly as possible? No, that’s socially unacceptable, isn’t it? Don’t we all make an effort to stifle these things as much as possible because, although natural, they are socially unacceptable? Again, no one ever claimed that the aforementioned hair (or farts) is unnatural, just that sometimes nature needs to be suppressed a bit. That’s why I bathe. It’s natural for foul odors to form on my body after I play raquetball, so I (gasp!) use an unnatural, manufactured product called soap (and yes, even deodorant) to defeat nature’s forces.

**

OK, I don’t see how this is relevant to the topic. Hmm. We think women (and men, by the way) should groom themselves; therefore, we think breasts should all point upward. Nope.

No, but again, this has nothing to do with the topic of grooming.
**
Do you think birth is a repulsive, sub-human activity? **
No. See above comment. Why would you possibly assume that based on the fact that I believe that people should take a bit of time to make themselves presentable? OK, I didn’t invent the concept of shaving (or bathing, or wiping), but I do agree with it.

I am married to a rather curvy woman, and yet, she grooms herself. Go figure.

I wouldn’t know.

I’m still an Elisabeth fan myself. Does that mean that I am prejudiced against hairy, farty women? :slight_smile:

Anyway, the OP asked if he was alone in feeling a bit put off by unkempt pits on a woman. I was merely telling him that he’s not. Don’t we have a right to feel this way? Whether it’s natural or not, our society deems certain things appropriate, and women shaving (in many societies) is one of them. Obviously it’s inconvenient at times, but so are a lot of the things we do because we live in a society.

No offense meant to anyone; just my opinion.

I’m a hairy armpit chick. I haven’t shaved anything in years. I don’t even own a razor. Why bother? Few people get to see my pits and legs anyway. Summer time is about it. I have found that most people get over it after the initial shock. Hell, if my own mother (she who must be shaven) got over it, so can everyone else.

Why did I quit shaving? It wasn’t a political statement, peer pressure or anything. I just got tired of doing it. I sort of cut back at first and as I got used to seeing the hair on my legs and pits, I just quit all together. But then again, I’m one of those people who could care less what people think of me. I’m pretty secure in my self image. I’m not an unattractive slob or anything. I still put forth a professional image at work. I just couldn’t justify shaving 30% of my body hair for no good reason.

So other chicks are finially doing it too? Good for them! I would like see women shave or not shave based on how they feel about it. I’m sorry that you think it’s “gross”. I think it’s a non-issue.
(Did any of that make sense? I’ve either had too much caffine, or not enough. Haven’t figured out which yet)

Yah, that some fellows would have beards is beyond me. :wink:

Seriously, you might wish to check what other cultures are into.

To be honest, I thought the title of this thread was meant to be tongue in cheek - you know, the type with the little :rolleyes: after it. Turned out it wasn’t.

And nineiron, I think the problem here isn’t with basic grooming (booger hanging out of nose, loud farting in public, etc), it’s with the double standards espoused in the OP.

Oh you poor baby. :rolleyes: We’ll just hustle the offending women away from your line of vision, shall we? There … now you can see all those twentysomething buxom (but not too buxom) beauties … all dancing for your pleasure.

I shave because I enjoy the look and feel of smooth skin. I wear form-fitting clothes because I’m petite and loose clothes overwhelm me. I certainly don’t do either so that some guy I don’t even know can ‘approve’ of my ‘femininity’.

(Wincing slightly.)
I should have known I’d draw the ire of hairy women. Without listing each reply separately, I’ll lump them all together.

I don’t find hairy women very attractive. This is my opinion, though there are those who do. As for other cultures, well that’s their bag. The French tend to be more or less naturally aromatic, which I also find not to my taste, but that is there. I shave my face because I dislike the look of a full beard on me, even though I’m not real pleased about scraping it off every day. I shower every day to keep from stinking also, being a little concerned about how I present myself to others.

I clean under my fingernails too, finding ‘natural’ dirt not very attractive and shave that annoying older guy crop of hair out of my ears, because seeing men walking around with bushes sprouting from there is less than esthetic.

I find the smooth look of a woman’s shaved legs very sensual and find those with ‘natural’ curlies poking out all over the place less than to my taste.

Everyone likes to talk about the person within, but the majority go by the person displayed. I’ve looked at many an old photographs of people taken as far back as 100 years ago and found that, in comparison with current standards, most were homely or down right ugly. They certainly don’t look like the movies portray them. They were more ‘natural’ than we are today. Astonishing what washing the face with lye soap does to the complexion! Not to mention what bathing once a week does for the general aroma! Most folks felt that bathing more than once a week was ‘unnatural’ back then.

Ever notice how both women and men, in these old photographs, tended to look like they were in their 30s or 40s when they were actually in their 20s? Even pictures from the 50s show high school kids looking like miniature editions of their older folks.

I like the standards of today, thank you, over the more natural ones of yesteryear.

I’m quite sure that women have all of the less than pleasant bodily functions that guys do, but choose to be more discrete. I don’t date guys. I tend to avoid women who light their farts and think it’s funny. I find a woman who enjoys being very female much more pleasant and attractive – be she a corporate executive, brain surgeon, stock broker or artist, than one who has to be one of the guys.

But, that’s my opinion.

I never have liked the matted growth sprouting under a woman’s arms from way back as a kid, when all those Italian movies hit the screen showing the women with luxurious jet black hair, exotic looks, and weeds in the pits.

I’ve met women with mustaches growing on their upper lips and side burns and did not find that attractive.

You know, mostly I’ve found that those ladies who assert their right to be hairy or natural are usually those who have pretty well flopped in the dating scene, given up on trying to look attractive, ‘accepted themselves for who they are,’ talk a whole lot about the inner person and get irritated when guys like me suggest we find certain female grooming practices desirable.

I like to look good when I seek female company, being less than a male model in appearance. When I was married, I kept myself looking good for my wife, knowing she found me attractive that way. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, yeah. Even after being married, I chose not to fart around her, sit on the crapper with the door open, pick at my ass obviously in her view, continued to brush my teeth, put on deodorant and showered. Very rarely did I not shave because she found a beard stubble on guys unattractive.

To me, hairy pits on a woman automatically give off the impression that they stink, even if they do not, though I’m quite sure that not everyone feels this way.

:smiley: :smiley: :rolleyes:

You are a pervert, SpyderA48, and if those teenagers grossed you out then it was better than what you deserved. Underaged girls were not put on this earth to be your eye candy.

Thank you, morality cop.

I hate to break your bubble, but many, many normal men find teens attractive, even though they dasn’t touch! It’s called biology. A girl just doesn’t magically sprout sex appeal and attractiveness after she reaches 19 you know.

Many, many a mature woman finds teen guys attractive also, for the same reasons. There is nothing perverted in it. It’s just that, in current society, with all of the problems, we’re being told that it is bad to find a teen alluring or attractive. Well, it’s bad to seduce them, but not bad to find them attractive.

There’s material here for a whole other post, but that’s for later.
