What's the Point of Shaving?

I’m pretty, I HATE shaving, yet I feel compelled to do it…I don’t know why, we all have hair, it’s a pain in the bum to shave (moreso when it grows back!!)

and yet, shockingly, I still shave! not as much as I used to when I was younger, but then, I care less now, I mean, not as if I’m out to impress…however, you won’t catch me in a pair of shorts if I haven’t shaved for a couple of days!!

but I must say, I shave more now for me, I like that ‘silky soft skin’ after I have shaved, but is that because I really like it, or becuase I know if my ankle shows in class I’m not thinking ‘poop everyone can see my stubbly / hairy legs’!!! lol!

I don’t know why I do it, I just do, I am ‘expected’ to as part of my ‘hygiene routine’ but I really find it a pain in the bottom and razor blades expensive…

(although I do think shaved legs feel GREAT against my silk pj’s!! :) )

Because women such as myself love to have beautiful skin. Men, they don’t like to have beards. Well, some don’t anyway. Some of us don’t like to have unwanted hair on ourselves. It enbarasses us especially in the summertime. That’s the reason people shave. You can be pretty with smooth skin.

I prefer to be shaved, because it feels smooth and clean which is just a great feeling. However as a man people always give me a hard time or think it is weird that I am shaved.

Anyway thats why I like being shaved, not for beauty.

girls not shaving their arm pits is just gross but shaving your legs is just a feminine thing to do and has become part of American culture.

because I like bein silky smooth and not all hairy that’s gross in mii opinion but if you dont mind not shaving your legs then its watever floats yur boat..

guys dont shave because its an ego thing mor hair = more adult like I don’t know inner beauty = little in today’s society but its good to be a good person but guys are attracted to TNA that is bout it and hair just is a turn off

beauty does come from within but its sometimes hard to get to that beauty, if there are some not-so-attractive attributes blocking that inner beauty. I’m sure you even have some that block the way for you, mine are if you smell if your morbidly obese (honesty is the key) if your a guy w/ long nails. (I don’t know y) but that pretty much raps up mine.

us girls shave because it makes us feel tat much prettier,even if we’re already pretty,just,when you think bout it,it’s a guy’s preference to because if he has his hand on a girl’s bare skin on her leg I don’t think he’d want to feel hair,he’d rather feel smooth skin,well tat’s how I see it and tat’s why I shave,hope I helped

It’s not only about looking good but it’s also about being clean and comfortable.

Thats like saying why should we cut our nails? or cut our hair? If you keep goring your hair or nails it’s gross.

I dunno but it may also be about beauty.

Note: Thank you emo life :) Note: sooitca has a point, peer pressure I guess is also a part of it :)

Some women, and men, like the feel of having smooth skin. Others, it is a personal preference not to shave because they don’t feel the need to. You can do whatever you want, it’s your choice.

It’s just become our culture. A female with hairy legs is concidered taboo in our society. I can’t really imangine not shaving my legs, because that’s what I’ve been taught to do and what every girl around me does. Sure I believe in originality, but not through body hair. I’m sure if girls would have never of started shaving people wouldn’t look twice at you for having hairy legs, but at this point in time, and society less hair is viewed as more attractive.

I don’t think a lil hairy is nasty I’m a guy

I hate physically having to shave but I love when my legs are all smooth. I like rubbing them together. It makes me giggle… I’m easily ammused

Beauty comes from within, but shaving is just something for pure Comfort, if you are happy with hair then leave it, if not then shave it, its a choice one is given!

I agree with ae_ninja
