Who decided women should shave their legs?

It's also that your skin feels so much nicer smoother and sleek with no body hair...

Well, I am not a hairy guy but I don't like hair.

For men, I don't like uni-brows or hairy backs. So, since I am attracted to women, why would I want them to be more hairy than I am?

Why the hell am I commenting on this subject? LOL!

Arioch7 out!

Pissant,
Your one freeper dude who loves to talk about women LOL....

SheWhoMustBeObeyed has her share of hair on her legs, but hasn't shaved them since high school track. And quite frankly, I don't mind it (between you and me, most black women who shave their legs end up with stubble that ends up looking and feeling like my face; those that don't do that -- for the most part -- have very sparse hair, and what's there is very soft and smooth)...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

No body hair? Naughty gal. ;o}

The inventor of the Bra (brassiere) was a french engineer.

I note that you refer to Harper's Bazaar: "the magazine for Bizarre Harpies"--Dorothy Parker

There are few subjects that are as interesting as the female form. You may notice that alot of the chick threads get lotsa freeperettes on them too, so I guess you gals don't mind either.

I'm sure if I lived out in California or in Florida, I'd be shaving. No one is looking so I don't care to be honest. When I wore shorter skirts, I did but oh well.

[missyme]

But I have a ton of it on top of my head!!)

[pissant]

yes you do! Blonde too.

[King Prout]

hehhehheh... that'd be a hoot!

Besides dark hair against dark skin doesn't show up as much.

All hair has a growth/dormant cycle. The hair grows for a while then the follicle goes dormant for a while.

Bald headed guys don't have any less hair follicles they just have REALLY long dormant periods.

Well if you ever want to come visit California, I will take you to a friend of mine who works in a great spa and does hot wax removal your legs will be hair free for 4 to 5 months...

A man missing its "manhood"

"Yes it's so (for now)."

Phew!! (so it's NOT some kind of religious decree or symbolic gesture ;-)

[Barney59]

[cyborg]

Really? That's worth the trip alone.

"That thing used to be a chick, prior to the 'roids. Still has female hips (barely)"

Let's make ONE thing clear...

It IS a "thing."
