Yes, all this is true, but I wouldn't feel good with hairy armpits .. and deodorant is just a habit after a morning shower.. Very convenient . If we follow the reasoning, then  should we also stop waxing our legs??    Happy    Report

I'm sorry Dick but if men/women on seeing a women with no visible hair poking out from armpits and 'other' areas makes them think of little girls then I think it is they that have the problem.

What about the hairy ears and nostils??????????????????????? not so much on the women as they have their head of hair over their ears ---but men with long  and thick hair coming out of their nose or ears is a little disgusting in my opininon -unless they join ends and call it a moustache.   p.s.Not many women with moustaches ---thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!    Report

I don't really understand this post, as it seems that you are saying what Clark and I were saying and then being antsy about it... The point about men removing hair in this context is irrelevent.

No. I am saying the opposite to you and Clark, I think women should be able to 'groom' themselves in which ever way they want without men/women thinking that they are trying to make them selves appear child like. its not the 'groomed' women's problem! And my comment regarding men removing hair was harking back to the fact that it was you two men (I think Clark is a man) think it better for women to be 'Au Naturel' if that were the case why are the majority of men clean shaven, because probably they think beards makes them appear old and unkept, plus its a real turn off for most women   Jackie At least with a spell-checker I can appear somewhat educated!    Report

I can't be most women then - Mr RH actually has a full head of hair and a proper beard.....in fact I have known him over 30 years and have only once seen him without a beard. I don't think it makes him look old either, my much younger neighbour told me she thought he looked too 'fresh' to be the age he actually is.... www.quimperclub.org 99    Report
