As women get older, the hair on the legs almost completely stops growing. It’s younger, more fertile women who have hairy legs. Leads me to conclude that men are supposed to be more attracted to hairy legs. Advertising, movies, etc. have changed what we humans consider attractive.
“Advertising, movies, etc. have changed what we humans consider attractive.”
In the case of Western Civ that may be true, but there have been cultures that had none of those things but still favored selective removal of hair.
