And what do the chaps think?

Personally, I can think of little that’s less attractive.

[Svejk]

not fussy, ;-)

[murraymints]

Not a good look !

[bibblebub]

shaving the armpits was the new fashion at some point in history

[Cloverjo]

I'm not a fan of over-grooming; I can't stand the thought of a Brazilian, for instance, and if I were a man I think I'd like quite like lightly hairy legs etc. on a woman, but the pic of the model with hairy pits wasn't nice. I'll carry on shaving there, if nowhere else.

No longer the pits: why London's hottest girls are shrieking 'Look at me!'

Regardless of body hair, many of these 'hottest girls' aren't, men in suits tell us that they are.

I don't particularly follow fashion, I either shave or I don't depending upon my mood. For sure some of these ladies are jumping on the bandwagon for attention ( Madonna springs to mind) but I think the majority of much younger women like me, don't care a stuff what someone thinks of their shaven or unshaven bits and armpits. I do give stuff however that girls are made to feel ugly by leaving their bodies in their natural state, that's plain wrong and imho not something we should be encouraging, and usually it's not men who do that but other women, often quite viciously. Each to their own I think, a bit of live and let live about another persons armpits goes a long way :)

Revolting ! But why didn't she die her armpit hair the same silly colour as on her head...at least they would then match !

[sandyRoe]

Would stubbly armpits not be itchy?

[Cloverjo]

SandyRoe, no, stubbly armpits aren't itchy.

[ummmm]

It doesn't work like that Mikey. My OH is ginger, his beard is brown/white....it doesn't always match.

[rockyracoon]

No, no, no, no, no! While I'm still in charge of all my faculties there are maintenance chores that will always be carried out, that's defuzzing and colouring grey hair.

I don't get hairs under my arms so don't have the hassle of dealing with it, but I would without a shadow of a doubt.

There was a mini campaign on FB to stop shaving/waxing legs, OMG, photos of women's legs full of hair kept blocking up my newsfeed, bleurgh.

//who really cares if your legs are a bit hairy or your pits have stubble!! //

I care.

[Sqad]

Bloody awful, but unfortunately typical of our modern.......woman.
Armpits should be shaved as well as the pubic area.

[mikey4444]

Yeah Ummmm....but I would bet that your OH didn't die his head hair ginger though, did he !

Can I go off at a tangent here a bit ? I met an old girlfriend of mine at a Motorway Service station on Sunday, on her way down to West Wales. We queued up at the Costa Packet Coffee shop for the usual 20 mins, and then sat down. Two very attractive ladies sat down opposite us and one of them had a cardigan on. But when she took it off, she revealed a whole left arm covered in tattoos, from the shoulder down to her wrist. This is what I understand to be called a "sleeve"

It was revolting and made her look rough, like a navvy or docker. What do we all think about excessive tattoos on women of this kind ? I'm not talking about a small, cheeky dolphin on the ankle but whole arms, and even faces.

[mikey4444]

Sqad...behave yourself !

[kvalidir]

That says it all really. It's fine to care about your own Naomi, but why care about other peoples? We got the whole hairless fetish from porn films because it makes bits look bigger in men and more easy to tantalisingly film in women. That's okay if you fancy being bald but if you don't why should other people try to make you feel ugly, it makes no sense, and people look pretty okay imho with body hair.

lol@sqad trying to steer the conversation 'down'.
