There I am tonight, sitting in Ruby Tuesday with my lovely girlfriend Tazzy. I rub her legs under the table, commenting on how silky smooth they feel beneath my fingertips. 5 minutes later, she complains that she is cold, and I start rubbing her legs again (to warm her up of course! ;-)) Little did I expect to find stubble there! Apparently, the ladies are CORRECT when they say that getting cold and getting goosebumps makes their leg hairs grow! I couldn’t believe it! They are right!

I must admit, I was shocked! I must now spread this knowledge to all MANkind! Men, listen to your ladies from now on, you never know when they just might be right!

Goosebumps don’t make leg hairs grow, it just makes what is already there stick out more.
