Rise of young women going 'au naturel' as nearly a quarter now don't shave their underarms

My Mrs goes through odd phases.
She goes a while insisting that she can no longer be bothered shaving her legs etc. Then she gets horror struck and it all comes off.

kinda the same with my face really. It gets to a stage where it just itches.

about 15 years go i struck up an online relationship with a girl from south korea. after about a year of talking she came here to see me and we went on a 10 day trip. we were in the hotel getting frisky and i took her shirt off and boom. there was the armpit hair. i was taken back for a quarter of a second then i readjusted my focus to the babylons and dove right in and the hair bothered me not at all

Is this supposed to be Dutch?

I approve of and endorse this methodology.

Woman who does not feel she must shave her underarms in order to feel beautiful? That speaks to a healthy system of priorities, if you ask me!

I've been called an alien all my life because I only have hair on my head-made me feel kinda wierd but definitely an easier life.

I am old school- hairy women just yuk. Sorry, don't think I should feel that way.

However, I love a clean shaven man. My ex had a heavy (although blond) five o'clock shadow-so no kissing until he shaved again or I would get a terrible burn on my face-otherwise, I like like hairy men, that's just masculine to me.

Men are up against technology, Lithium and Rabbits will be the death of men and eventually mankind....am i allowed to say mankind these days....ahh stuff it ;P

Yeah, last time I saw one of my Ex's she turned into a sasquatch.

The 2013 study also found that women spend about 59 days of their life shaving. That’s almost two months worth of shaving! ...

There is also this fitness blogger that went a whole year without shaving:

She talks about why she stopped shaving and how she feels about the way it has impacted her life/how people view her. I don't think shaving or not shaving should matter that much. It doesn't define who you are as a person.

There are women who shave their face too:

Three Reasons You Might Want to Shave Your Face
1) Shaving your face can remove unwanted hair.
2) Shaving your face can remove dead skin cells.
3) Shaving your face can create a clean palette for make-up. ...

I don't think I would go as far as shaving my face...lol. But maybe I'm just a little bit old school. To each their own I guess.

Thanks,

A simple solution would be to use a trimmer to keep everything under control. We are not cave people any more.
Although, letting the hair grow into a bush does not appeal to me personally, the trimmer gives us an opportunity to express ourselves whichever way we want.

Nice to see natural being more accepted. Given that most women in history did not shave, most men in history didn't seem to notice or care. Some cultures even thought it sexy.

If women werent supposed to have armpit hair, it wouldn't grow there in the first place.

I don't shave, and I don't expect my girlfriend to either.

We are dirty hippies though.

Well most of us guys have to shave our face like everyday... So women complaining about shaving meh.

I say people can do what they want but me personally I find it pretty gross...

And God bless the pair of you!

We need more natural folk wandering the world.

It takes more than a little fur to put me off a woman.
If she is dull as wet leather and has a bad attitude, no amount of shaving is going to make me find her attractive.
