“”Much of what women consider beautiful is based on standards set by men, so it’s refreshing to witness a woman-centered beauty movement,” she said.”

Ah yes, blame men. We FORCED women to shave their pits, eh? I have reviewed the records of the International Council of Men, and I do not find any documents related to a Master Plan to force women to shave their underarms. There are some notes here about bacon and "sammiches", but no law forcing women to shave under their arms.

I have my moments.

I had mine cleaned up with electrolysis! No more shave bumps!

ENOUGH WITH THE WEASELS!

(Only kidding...I am laughing every time I read one of these posts...:)

"...There’s no explaining what turns some guys on and turns others off..."

I was expecting someone would post that cartoon. So funny.

[Polyxene]

LOL!

[rlmorel]

Heh, it is most definitely a prop for these kinds of threads!

As is this one:

On my part, I just laugh every time I see that guy's face and his white hair...

This thread about a worthless scourge is worthless without some discussion of the worthless scourge of man spread.

Worthless.

My comment about tattoos looking trashy is solely for women who have them.

Guys having them doesn’t usually bother me. My Husband has them and I think he looks sexy with them as part of the entire package.

The question is this. What will those tattoos look like when the taut skin wrinkles and the tattoo is no longer identifiable.

We are beginning to see the result of the 40+ yr old hags who jumped on the craze and decided they would would partake with tattoos all over their arms, chest and legs. Where they can't hide it. They are disgusting. Very disgusting.

The dirty little secret no woman wants you to know is EVERY beauty enhancing standard forced on women by "society" started out as a tactic for one woman to gain male attention from her rivals.

> Not to disparage Southern women in the least....but when I was 25 and single I lived in a rural county in Michigan where the local eligible female population kept my tongue hanging out of

don’t get me wrong there are plenty of good looking women up north its just that I noticed the women down south seem to be a lot curvier and more suited to my tastes...: )

[GeronL]

other words, they were not forced

Alrighty.

Hey, once you’ve had an ingrown hair in an armpit you call the electrolysis clinic!

[Army Air Corps]

Duly noted! :-)

Luckily, I have enough Choctaw blood in me that I don’t have issues with excessive body hair. It takes me a loooooong time grow even a wee beard and there are some spots under my chin that simply do not grow hair.

By then it doesn’t really matter.

Odd, in light of the fact that so many women these days are shaving their sn*tches.
