Today, I realized that I hadn't shaved in so long that when the wind blew, the hairs on my legs moved in the breeze. FML

Sooo... why don't you shave? I'm sorry, how is this an FML?

Christ, it has nothing to do with hygiene -- it's cultural norms. Men don't shave their legs, and it's not unhygienic. What are you, twelve?

Ok, to everyone saying it's gross, I would just like to say that guys don't shave their legs. I don't either. It's a perfectly natural thing to do, and it's only recently that it's become popular to get rid of hair off your body. (and yes, I do have a boyfriend and he loves me very much, just the way that I am) Aside from that, if you've ever felt a leg that was shaved, but not recently, the hairs are coarse and unpleasant, whereas if you never shave, the hairs are softer and finer and much better feeling.

actually body hair removal was popular in ancient egypt, except they used wax

You probably rock a '70s bush and armpit hair you can braid, too.

Actually people have been grooming since... well, civilization. And yes, shaving your legs is considered grooming just like it is for men and facial hair. Feel free to go unkempt and unshaven, certainly nobody's making you, but don't be surprised when people think you're disgusting for it. Nobody makes me brush my teeth, it's not medically necessary, but people would be disgusted all the same if I didn't do it.

I shave armpits for sure, as I personally don't like the feel of it. I don't think we should care about what people do in terms of hair. Yes, some guys shave there legs, but it's not the norm. I don't shave, that's not the norm either. The only people who have ever called me disgusting are girls. Every guy that I've been with hasn't cared, and none of the guys I know care. Maybe I just don't know the jerky guys that all of you know.

"Nobody makes me brush my teeth, it's not medically necessary, but people would be disgusted all the same if I didn't do it." Analogy fail. That would work if the OP said they were not BATHING. Not shaving your legs =/= not brushing your teeth, dumbass. And since no one makes you, try not brushing them or anything for a year. The Darwin Awards needs more nominees. To the OP: who cares.

brushing your teeth kind of is medically necessary if you don't want your teeth to turn yellow and rot out and have all kinds of gum diseases. but if someone doesn't shave their legs then it doesn't affect their health.

Umm, you may not realize this #11, but most guys don't shave their legs. Their pretty used to it, and any decent guy isn't going to care.

As long as it's just the hairs on your legs moving with the breeze you're in a grey area. Start worrying if it's the hairs under your armpits or private zone.

To anyone who asks why OP didn't wear jeans, or telling her that she should: It's extremely hot in Australia now. It's summer over there.
