Q: Why women proudly show off hairy legs during summer?

I know that the traditional conception of beauty changes from culture to culture but come on. Hairy legs on a girl is nasty anyway you slice it. Yesterday in the bus I had one, late 20s brushing up to me. She was wearing a one-piece dress that stopped well above the knees. I took one glance of those long legs and almost went full projectile vomit mode when I saw the fur she was packing. If you're going to wear such an alluring dress, why the horror show below?

 

If this was April or May, I'd understand...coming out of hibernation and all. But not mid-July when it's boiling outside.

Same reason they don't bother to shave their armpits or other areas....I'm sure it's cultural no

 

But I've had similar experiences.  You'll see a girl approaching that you think is a 10, great body, beautiful face etc etc.  Then she raises her arm to reveal a rat's nest, or she gets close enough to see her hairy legs.  Ugh.

danielmarino:

I certainly hate that!!! In winter is much worse because you don't know for sure until you "date" them.

Because, long hair in China is considered 'beautiful part of the body'. There is no high heat issue here. lol

 

You'll might see modern Chinese woman with shaved arm pits.

 

I am sure, you don't ask for different eating utensils in China, do you?

Where are these furry legs you speak of?  Am I am in the wrong place?

People here are hair challenged.  I can handle the small amount of hair under the arms or down below but I have never seen hairy legs...and if you knew how many Chinese girls I was with before my gf you would be stunned.  My chest has more hair than the entire body of Chinese girls...and men for that point.

  Know exactly what you mean mate, I had to get my missus to shave her legs when we met. That was 6 years ago now. Since then I can't say i've noticed it much, but I do remember noticing at the time that a 'lot' of girls failed to shave their legs. I remember my missus told me it was because if she shaved them the hair would grow quicker. Strange logic. She came around though.

MissA:

That's actually true: once you shave legs, hair grows back thicker. Most of us get around that by shaving very regularly.

mikael84:

False.

It only looks like that just when it comes out. If you let it grow full out, it will be exactly like before you shaved it.

When you're talking about shaving legs, the aim is not for it to grow full out!

do you shave your legs?

or your chest, or back, or ass for that matter?

do you manscape?

Gaohao:

  I shave my head regularly 'cause I don't like long hair in this heat, my face I shave of course, and every once in a while, just one of my buttocks. Then I draw faces on each one, give them both names and do street theatre. 'Of Mice and Men' works well 'cause they're mismatched in size, but 'The Sound of Music' got rave reviews. Been arrested 7 times.

I would say, based on sporadic observations, that most Chinese Ladies do shave their ;legs once in a while.  But not every day, and that includes armpits.  I asked my GF once why, and she told me that if done everyday, it does grows faster and thicker.  I would say my GF does shave under her arms quite often, but her legs get the treatment maybe once a month.  The hair on her legs is very thing, and a month growth is less than 1/2 of an inch.  For her, hardly noticeable.  From 3 or 4 feet away you will not see it. 

And since I do have hair ALL over, I really do not pay any attention to it.

I suppose talking about waxing or laser is completely farfetched... This society still has a lot of potential... They just need to convert this potential energy into... facts. Smile And for the record I think it really looks horrible to see an hairy woman. But what can we do...

Been in China more than five years. and I really haven't seen any hairy Asian girls yet. I can only think of two so far, and their legs were more of a short downy sort instead of "hair" properly.

May I ask what region you are in?
..

GuilinRaf:

Edit:

Instead of "any" I should have said "very many".

Sorry about that!

My GF always looks at fashion magazines. I simply pointed out to her that all of the fashionable models are clean shaven (arm pits, legs, other places she began shaving almost immediately and it has never been an issue again.

Its bad to project your personal preferences on to other people. No one has to care about what you like.

I really get grossed out by hairy heads.  All the girls here let the hair on their head grow.  It is so long, they even straighten it out and such.  Any body hair at all is just gross.  If you are not going through kimo you are just disgusting.  That is why I am moving to Fukushima.

I can't stand eyebrows ! They look like two drunk caterpillars sleeping on the face.

Who cares? Those girls don't exist for your viewing pleasure... if you have personal preferences regarding someone you're dating then you can make a suggestion, but it's actually none of your business- and she was probably wearing an 'alluring dress' because she was hot...

Probably not real leg hair - few women are overly hairy in China. If that shocked you, bring your sick bag for what's next:

Because legs (with silk-like hairs) are the only things that Chinese women have for themselves.

 

What else do you want them to show? Their AA-cup breasts? Their flat mannish butts?

Am I the only one around here who has never seen a Chinese woman with hairy legs, despite having traveled to nearly every province?

hunana:

Right? I think the men on this forum have never seen Western women in their natural state... which is actually kind of messed up... if you compare a white woman with a chinese girl in terms of hairiness I guarantee you won't complain about Chinese girls anymore
