I stopped seriously shaving my legs back in junior year of high school. My reasons then were less developed than they are now, and had more to do with my emotional state, but that's another story entirely. I haven't shaved my legs for a few years. There are breaks in between, the prom for example (what a waste of integrity), I couldn't reconcile the stilettos with the hair. Also, because I go door to door for my job right now, I've been trimming so that it's not completely ridiculous.
I haven't met very many of my kind, the few I've happened upon were closet hairy and wear pants in the summer. They only reveal themselves after seeing me in shorts. We become like co-conspirators with secretive smiles, except that I'm pretty open about it.
I feel compelled to explain the reasons for my decision because a lot of people would rather stare than initiate a conversation.
1. Social: I reject the dichotomy of objectification caused (in part) by the differing standards for beauty maintenance between men and women. I'm not going to spend five minutes every day removing hair so that guys can look at me and say, "yum." I shave other areas for hygiene purposes, but removing hair from my legs does absolutely nothing except make guys want to touch me. I'd rather they didn't want to. No, let me clarify that.
2. Stupidity Detector: If a guy has a problem with me not shaving my legs, his reasoning will most likely be the result of stupidity, superficiality, subtle chauvinism, you get the point: he sucks. I'm a reasonable person. If he wants me to shave my legs, I'll help him shave his too. If he complains about looking silly with shaved legs, well then... yeah. This approach helps me fend off many frat boys.
3. Political: Equality. The harder women work to be attractive to boost their value, the more incentive other women and men have to evaluate us based on our attractiveness. The cycle just feeds itself. I want to be equal because of my mind, not my stupid-ass legs.
4. My personal favorite, Laziness: I just don't fuckin feel like doing it. Perpetual razor burn sucks, no lotion has ever helped, and the struggle never fuckin ends. No thanks.
5. Confidence: This wasn't an entirely easy decision to make. Luckily, number 4 on the list was there to help me through the tough times of doubt and shame. By openly not shaving my legs, I've dealt with a lot of internal issues. I've been pretty attractive for most of my life (let's ignore 4th grade). It's allowed me to slide through certain situations, and avoid personal growth by depending on positive reinforcement from dumbass guys who wanted to do me. Obviously I also avoided developing a sense of real confidence. I still battle with my self-esteem, but through handicapping myself in this way I know that my most important assets are not on the outside.

Ack, I didn't realize this was being revisited. Fuckin Method. Always Method.
I'd like to address some things that I didn't get across very well in the post. Must have been all of those big words. I'm kidding.
First of all, it's funny how riled up people get about cultural norms and their justifications. Things like, it just feels right, it's beautiful, what else? Oh hell, I think most of you know them better than I do.
Loren hit on something earlier when she said that I care too much, and that has always been true about me. I think too much about things, I'm hung up on things like principle, and it has driven me nuts most of my life. At the same time, as much as I hate it sometimes, it's something that I like about myself.
That was my point about the intelligence test. It isn't an intelligence test of course, but more like a compatibility test. I really don't want to be around people who can't deal with my legs. Why? Because it's just so petty. They're the sort of people who would tell me to go change if they didn't like my clothes, the sort of people who try so very hard to fit in that they forget to evaluate the pressures that mold their identity.
I think some women who read this post could relate to what I was saying. It was a struggle at first to have people say eww, and tell me that I'm gross. What am I if I'm not attractive? If men don't like the way I look, will they even bother talking to me? It forced me to come to terms with the whole 'not everyone is going to like me' idea, and gave me the strength to answer to myself more often.
I am not going to burn my bra, for reasons that I have come up with. I am not a lesbian for reasons I cannot control. I absolutely don't believe that women are the same as men. However, women do grow hair on their legs like men. A lot of our culture serves to amplify the differences between the genders, and I'd like to see what happens when those norms are rejected. I have been stigmatized as irrational, as a temptress, as overemotional.
In response, I have worked very hard to become this cold, noncommittal, excessively rationalized person that I think I am right now. And, people mistook me for a man on this site (for reasons that remain unknown to me). So, if I can negate cultural associations with femininity, and come off as masculine, if I am CAPABLE of doing so, how much difference is there between a man and a woman psychologically?

stop trying to pretend your shaving-not-shaving is some sort of social issue. don't want to shave your legs? fine, then don't. there's nothing feminist about what you're doing. why do i say this -because the reasons of equity your provide are based on flawed logic. men and women are simply not the same, sorry. it's a lot more than a mere matter of whether the gonad goes in or out. stereotypes are stereotypes, but they do exist for a reason. there are always exceptions, for everything, but 'the rule' does generally hold true, that's why it's 'the rule.' saying you don't shave because men don't shave, that's just retarded. would you be attracted to a man because he had D-cup tits?
GodChicken's "I bet you shock yourself fucking cross-eyed on a warm, dry day and flannel sheets." was hilarious, though

Its not som much chauvenism and shallowness as sexual selection. Male Human generally prefer to bang less hairy female humans, and vice versa, because back in they day, less hair allowed you to keep cool in the savana, and was an advantage. Now days, women cheat by shaving themselves and hiding they nasty hairy genes. Not cheating is fine except when everyone else is.
But at least you didnt say all men are pigs.

I know what you mean sister! I only shower once a week to save water. Just because society deems certain smells to be 'bad' or 'good' doesn't mean I have to conform. And any girl shallow enough to judge me by the way I smell is just a hollow bitch anyway. I also sleep on mound of dirt in my back yard and eat from a bowl in the middle of the dirt mound. It helps me keep in touch with mother nature.
So, ummmmmm ladies, anyone free Satuday night? This offer only applies to leg-shavers though, cause that ape shit is nasty. How can I be sure you're not really packing a peener down there?

Bold first post, D. Welcome.
Simply put, I can understand your (gender role and laziness) reasons for not wanting to shave your legs. I think it's admirable that you stand up for what you believe in. Personally, I've always found girls with smooth legs to be more attractive. As superficial as I don't want to be, looks matter when selecting a potential relationship partner.

Uh. This makes about as much sense as me writing a post that says, "Not shaving my face got me through some pretty rough times." What the fuck are you talking about?
And how is it a determination of intelligence if a guy likes smooth, shaven legs on a girl? I think that's just considerate. When I'm with a girl, I shave every day, or every other day. I only go for the bearded, hobo look when I'm by myself. I'd think a girl who didn't shave her legs for me didn't care enough about me to make herself presentable for when we go out. I don't think that's shallow -- it's etiquette.

It is possible to feel feminine without shaving your legs. Just because that's not what you are used to doesn't make it untrue. Maybe for her, other things make her feel feminine. Other things make her feel pretty.
Perhaps for many girls, not shaving their legs feels gross. But it wasn't always that way. We all had a time when we didn't shave. Back then we still felt like girls. Until I started shaving, I never thought I needed to. I didn't think I looked like a boy. I didn't think the hair on my legs was gross.
Sure, now that I do shave, I am used to it, and when my legs get prickly it feels weird. But if I didn't shave for a long time, I would again get used to it, and then it would feel normal. It would probably feel weird to shave again after a period of time. Like my legs were naked and exposed and uncomfortable.
Frankly, I think comfort is more important than being attractive. I'd choose a sports bra over an underwire anyday, and I do most often, unless I am wearing a shirt that I can't get away with it. And then the only reason I'd pick the underwire is because having my bra hanging out would make me more uncomfortable than wearing the damn wires.
Everyone always says that confidence is what makes you most attractive.
If having hairy legs makes her feel confident, then why should she shave?

Saying that she is an ugly angry dyke bitch is straying from the issue. Her laziness and razorburns are just questioning the need to shave her legs just to be a woman. There is a disparity between the amount of time women spend to look good, but I wouldn't blame it on guys. It just seems that women always were more interested in looking better to get guys, so being lazy and not shaving your legs is a good way to make yourself less attractive to test guys if they are interested in you even if you have hairy legs. If a guy wants to shave your legs for you, that eliminates the laziness issue you have with it. And what's wrong with a guy who wants girls to be better looking with less hair on their legs? Appreciating beauty isn't superficial, why not have a world where everyone is physically attractive? It's just a personal choice what you do.

I've never liked bull dyke feminists like you. I think Maddox said it right on equality.
"11. React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
See, this is what pisses me off about women: they expect special treatment at their discretion. They want equal rights, equal pay, and equal treatment for everything EXCEPT when it comes to shit like this, then they want you to "react cutely" instead of, say, putting them in a head lock and making them eat ants and/or spiders while you give them carpet burn. Why don't women react "cutely" when men hit them for a change? Oops, I forgot, that's domestic abuse."

I think you care too much - just on the opposite side of the scale.
I shave. Been shaving since I was 13 (and that's a long, long time). I shave more in the summer - all the way up my thighs. My armpits every day regardless, and definitely down-town, in detail.
Also, I recently had my arms waxed. Not because they were really hairy - the hair was blonde - I just had to let Jonukah get a little payback after Nicole and I waxed his jungle-back - and I am definitely going to upkeep the new look. It's not because any man I'm involved with prefers it, it's because my arms feel so FRIGGIN' soft now!
When you're freshly shaven and climb into a nice comfy bed with fresh sheets all tucked in - it's one of the nicest feelings in the world you can experience (at least while you're sober and/or not involved in a sexual act).
Very simply, I am a woman and I enjoy feeling feminine. Soft feeling skin makes me feel feminine. """""""""""""

Personally, i love the soft satiny feeling of being freshly shaved when i climb into bed
but, hey, you go girl! It's your body. Go do what *you* need to do to make yourself happy.

As a man, there are certain grooming habits that I am expected, by society, to uphold. My hair isn't tremendously long, my facial hair is nice and neat, I shower and I'm a well groomed person.
As a woman, there are certain grooming habits that you are expected to uphold as well. Not only does not shaving your legs reflect on your personal laziness, but it's not exactly the best sight to see on a woman. You're a woman-- act like one.
In short, shave your got-damed legs. Damn.

That whole "I'm single and mom thinks I'm a lesbian" thing is rediculous.
If there are boys who like shaved legs, there are boys who like hairy legs. To each his own.
Also, isn't it possible that one could fall in love with someone inspite of something as trivial as leg hair, which grows there naturally?

I've met many girls who don't shave their legs, or anything for that matter. I think the count would require all my fingers and even some toes. And this is a small town I work in, less than 3000 people. And I only socialize with a small number of people around here. But I've encountered a lot of the "hairies".
All of these girls have one other thing in common: a rich history of mental instabilty. Yep, they're all crazy. Not because they don't shave their legs, they're just crazy. They don't shave their legs or armpits because they're crazy.
You say that this is a confidence builder? Oh, good one. There are better ways to say you're confident as a person. You're ok with making yourself less attractive, fow what? What are you trying to prove? Put down your axe, the world is sick of your argument. Nobody cares.
So if a guy shaves his legs then you'll shave yours? Sounds pretty selfish if you ask me. But besides that, I'll tell you something. I race bikes for a living, and one of my girlfriends shaved my legs for me. It was great. I had the best legs in the world (I still do) and she knew it. She loved my sexy bare legs.
(On a sidenote, cyclists don't do it for aerodynamic savings, it's in case you fall you'll get nasty road rash. You'll be able clean out all the rocks and dirt that would normally get trapped by leg hair and avoid a really wicked infection)
So what I'm getting at, is are you crazy? If not then you have no excuse. There's enough ugly people out there in the world, and if you're pretty attractive, why would you want to join their ranks?

I think you care too much - just on the opposite side of the scale.
I shave. Been shaving since I was 13 (and that's a long, long time). I shave more in the summer - all the way up my thighs. My armpits every day regardless, and definitely down-town, in detail.
Also, I recently had my arms waxed. Not because they were really hairy - the hair was blonde - I just had to let Jonukah get a little payback after Nicole and I waxed his jungle-back - and I am definitely going to upkeep the new look. It's not because any man I'm involved with prefers it, it's because my arms feel so FRIGGIN' soft now!
When you're freshly shaven and climb into a nice comfy bed with fresh sheets all tucked in - it's one of the nicest feelings in the world you can experience (at least while you're sober and/or not involved in a sexual act).
Very simply, I am a woman and I enjoy feeling feminine. Soft feeling skin makes me feel feminine.

". Stupidity Detector: If a guy has a problem with me not shaving my legs, his reasoning will most likely be the result of stupidity, superficiality, subtle chauvinism, you get the point: he sucks. I'm a reasonable person. If he wants me to shave my legs, I'll help him shave his too. If he complains about looking silly with shaved legs, well then... yeah. This approach helps me fend off many frat boys."
Yay! my "Stupidity detector" as you moronicly put the ability to know if someone is stupid, just tuned on. So, if he has a damn problem with you looking like a fucking Legs-not-shaved-lesbian-fuck he's just stupid and therefore you have to make him see the light by helping him "shave his legs like and moron faggot"? Ok. i guees that's fine, if you don't want to accept society standards i guess you can always be happy at the top of a mountain. That way you can meet big foot, marry him and be a damned happy Legs--not-shaved- couple. As long as i don't have to read stupid shit like this fragment of your post.

Uh. This makes about as much sense as me writing a post that says, "Not shaving my face got me through some pretty rough times." What the fuck are you talking about?
And how is it a determination of intelligence if a guy likes smooth, shaven legs on a girl? I think that's just considerate. When I'm with a girl, I shave every day, or every other day. I only go for the bearded, hobo look when I'm by myself. I'd think a girl who didn't shave her legs for me didn't care enough about me to make herself presentable for when we go out. I don't think that's shallow -- it's etiquette.
By the way, there is nothing sexier than smooth, shiny legs on a good looking chick.

It's your choice and it's well written.
I get tired of the time involved with shaving but I personally just cannot stand that feeling of hair rubbing against hair. I know if I can't stand the way it feels then neither can my husband.
I guess the attraction in the opposite sex to me is just that..attraction to what's opposite you. I know I don't want to look at him and see no hair on his legs, yikes.

some very amusing comments here
i had a music teacher in high school who had very hairy legs
i found it oddly erotic
i sympathise with the tedium of shaving, and quite like the idiot detection angle, but find the feminist aspects to the whole issue a bit absurd.
don't the majority of men shave their fucking faces in the hopes of being attractive?

I see your point, and it's definetely your right not to shave your legs, but don't equate being expected to shave your legs to discrimination.
Expecting a man to shave his legs because he expects you to is just stupid. If my girlfriend expected me to have bigger biceps, I wouldn't expect her to have the same now would I?
I'm netural on this because it's interesting, but really nothing special-it's just personal opinion, so have a 0.
