Not shaving down there is not only immensely unattractive but girls feel better because of the look/hygiene involved. You should convince her of these benefits and also express that you would do anything for her *wink wink*

#172 Don't try to fight prejudice then haul out the word "fag" as an insult. Kthxbai. Organisedchaos: So, would I be right in thinking that if a girl feels strongly about NOT shaving down there, then a partner should respect that, too? Since not shaving would make them happy? That's the problem with this topic. Strong feelings one way or the other, and someone's gotta give.

very understandable...you don't want a nasty nether region for the gyno..

"Today, my fiance got out of the shower, completely shaved. I went over to her, wrapped her in a hug and asked her what the occasion was." Way to go, Mr. Assuming-It's-For-Me-Because-I'm-a-Selfish-Ass. "She pulled away and said that she had a gyno appointment." A perfectly natural reaction, and I don't blame her an ounce. "My fiance will clean up for the gyno, but not for me. FML" Firstly: There's nothing to "clean up" down there. The ****** is a self-cleaning organ and, if anything, pubic hair helps keep the area safe from things like dirt, etc.; there's no reason why a woman's vulva should be considered any more dirty than the rest of her body. (Her ****, for example. I'm sure you quite like those.) American society needs to stop perpetuating this silly, misogynistic idea that any fully-mature woman who doesn't look like a prepubescent ten-year-old MUST BE "unclean" or "lazy," just because they aren't submitting themselves to a media-driven fetish men have acquired over the last decade or so. If you can't appreciate the fact that your fiancee is comfortable enough with her natural, mature body to share it with you, then you need to find a Playboy bunny to bonk and let her find a decent man who will. As for her shaving for her OB/GYN, it's probably because she feels the pressure to look like other, "hotter" women--pressure *you're* putting on her as well as the rest of society.

Word, MalevolentMime. (Why does your post number keep changing?!) If *you* don't shave, and I bet you don't, you shouldn't expect her to.

obviously!!!! you're an asshole for saying this and putting it on fml! no wonder she wouldn't shave for you!

I've just re-read all the comments and have but one thing to add. IPreferBlondes - I shan't waste my time with you. I will simply state that you are... intolerable. Ugh. But... the comments about his mother... wtf? o_0 Just accept he's a very singleminded young ******** and be done with it. He'll learn.

#185 Organisedchaos - Dude, I have no problem with the whole "sacrifices" concept, or grasping the notion that it would be selfish not to do it without a decent reason if it's a big enough deal to the guy. But! I've heard endless complaints from chicks about how it's a pain to do, to maintain, and the regrowth is unpleasant and uncomfortable. I've also had chicks raging about how naked it leaves them feeling, which adds a whole other aspect of mental discomfort, especially since many feel that whole "You look like a child" thing whenever it's brought to their attention. So you see how it could be more of a big deal from the chick's POV than the guy's?

"@183 how silly of a man to think his fiance would only be shaving downstairs for him...he should be thinking oh good, the cable guy is coming over again...idiot." But of course it isn't silly at all for a man to overlook the fact that a woman who doesn't usually shave may very well be doing it A) for herself, or B) for her gynecologist. After all, a woman's pubic hair belongs to her fiance! Isn't that right? /sarcasm.

she should shave all the time :( get her told mahn
