I need a blunt answer. Is having arm hair a turnoff? I know a few girls who shave their arms... but it just kind of seems weird to me. I shave my legs and underarms and everywhere I'm supposed to, of course, just not my arms. Is it a big deal, or turnoff?

How bad is it? Are we talking a light dusting of hair, a few shades darker than your skin, or the partially shaved gorilla look? Either way, some guys are going to be turned off, if not downright disgusted.

For most guys it isn't a huge deal. As long as you got the various bits of equipment in the right place, the last thing they are going to be looking at is your arms.

But if you are really concerned, the rule of thumb is - do not be hairier than the guy you are interested in. And wax - don't shave.

Why does it matter if you shave instead if waxing the arm hair?

Got it in one, Scarlettloved.

Guys really hate being sandpapered.

Yeah, well, I never knew a guy who waxed his face so I wouldn't get stubble. That comment annoyed me. And really? Unless the arm hair in question is super furry and covers the entire arm or something, any guy who is "disgusted" with arm hair is just weird. No man has ever told me he wished I would eliminate my arm hair.

I absolutely hate these body hair answers. Hair exists. We all have it. We all know we have it. I despise pretending to be some airbrushed nothing, some fake perfect version of me that I'm not.

I shave nothing except under my arms to be clean, leg hair, arm hair, everything hair, all still intact. And the best sex I've had has been with the ones that could. Not. Care. Less.

They wanted to please me and I wanted to please them, and if that ever comes down to them hating a light speckling of something I was born with, that doesn't affect me in the slightest, but would be a damn hassle to maintain, then out the door they go. Anyone who does care is pretty darn shallow, and doesn't deserve to be with you.

Body hair is body hair. I still can't believe we, the western culture, try to pretend that we don't have it. The way you think about it (eurgh, no, gross) is SOLELY based on how people tell you that it's wrong, from the way that barbie has no hairy bits, to every single model and actress. And that's just so dumb.

I think you are the first person I hear who thinks like that. You and I should meet sometime to talk even if you are a boy or a girl. Anyway, great thinking, I really enjoyed reading your comment. Keep up the good mind. all the best.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

I have hair. hair hair hair. Hair all over me. And it never stopped me from getting a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. Or an amazing fiance. Stop worrying about silly things like this. :p
