good point, the beard and mustache can be a turn off.
One of my favorite "ex" stories is about this gorgeous Brasilian girl I met when I came down here. Drop dead beautiful, but they don't shave their legs. She wasn't a gorilla, but when she came here, she didn't feel compelled to "comply with standards".
So when I met her and we dated for about a month, she aanounced that she was going to shave her legs. To be honest, she didn't really have enough hair to be visible on her legs even though she had jet black hair. But she was determined so she followed through.
She had been watching those commercials for "Epilady" at the time. She thought it was great! She had to have one. I was skeptical, but I wasn't going to debate a lady on any issue of personal hygiene.
So we went to the mall and she bought one. She told me to wait downstairs. I sat back and watched some TV, when all of the sudden there was a piercing scream from upstairs!
So I flew up the steps to her room. There she was on the bed, with the tail end of two feet of her long curly black hair in the epilady, which was busy knawing away at the joint of the inside of her knee. She had brought her leg us to use the Epilady on the top side of her knee, and the Epilady caught the hair on her thigh. When she leaned over, it caught her long locks as well.
I yanked the cord and ran to get scissors. In less than a minute I cut her free. She was in tears, but uninjured.
She had had enough for that day. She decided to take care of things "the old fasion way". I did a good job of masking my feelings, but when I finally got in the car to leave, it took 10 minutes for me to get the keys in the ignition. I couldn't see for all the tears of laughter in my eyes...
To this day I'm sure she blames me for it...
Man, talk about war stories! Hope she's not scarred for life (just the look of those things would scare me).
