Lovelyish

Ehhh I don’t have too much arm hair so I don’t need to shave my arms. o: You could always try Veet?

I have before but honestly it wasn’t worth it for me
My arm hair is A) Blonde and B) Really short

It really looks like I don’t have any, to be honest.  I do think it’s a little strange but it’s just a double-standard.  It’s no weirder than shaving your legs

that girls arms are really hairy. but no i dont. i used to in middle school just because my best friend used to but then it got annoying so i stopped. i like my arms how they are with a little hair on it

I personally don’t, because I don’t want an extra thing to shave and they’re not even hairy anyways. I know a bunch of my friends do shave though.

Arms are not really a requirement. My arm hair is white, so it’s not a big deal. I am glad of my white arms hair. 

If I had arms like that girl in the picture — I would shave my arms but I don’t have hairy arms. So, I don’t see the point in me shaving my arms.

I don’t, but mine is really light and thin…you can hardly see it. That and I hate how girls that do shave their arms have the whole prickly thing going on like an hour after shaving, I think it’s gross.

I don’t because you can barely notice I have any anyway

i’m glad to have very light, fine arm hair. that must really be a nuisance to have to shave your arms.

My arm hair is way too light to bother.  But my sister – well, she’s a different story.  She has been shaving her arm hair since she was 13 or 14… it was really dark and thick.

I have dark hair colour (black) but doesnt mean I have “really dark arm hair” mines are pretty fine I rarely have any.  Let’s just say they dont show up in pictures

& if I was that girl in the pic – i would shave it off better yet WAX it

My arm hair is very pale, short and nearly invisible.

well no i don’t know, but my arm hair is really really light. it’s weird because my hair is dark, but i’m not complaining haha. i would just feel like shaving arm hair would make it worse because it grows back thicker and i wouldn’t want arm stubble.

I do, however I use the hair remover cream. I don’t shave, but its same thing…

You and I must really be some one the few that DO shave their arms ahah. My hair is actually quite thin all over my body, but–I guess I got this tendency from my mom–I really hate ANY kind of body hair on myself (other than on my head or as my eyebrows). It probably really isn’t necessary for me to shave it, but I like to feel smooth and only have to shave about once every week and a half or so, and it won’t even look prickly.

I wax everything because I belly dance and from that culture you are expected to be hairless. But I think girls should embrace the hair.

I kinda like arm hair on a woman so it isn’t a big deal to me. But I like the look of smooth arms too so it isn’t weird that you shave. Just be your(cute)self.

I’ve considered it. My arm hair is medium-brown, but it’s kind of long…
I just don’t want to have to deal with shaving it all the time…

I actually have no arm hair at all.. naturally. I think it’s kinda weird. My arms are baby-soft. o____o;;

I shave my arms, and my friends also think its weird, but I could care less. It pleases me, so why would I stop? As long as you keep up with it, there’s nothing wrong with it.

i shave my arms because i love the smoothness. plus i feel like a caveman if i don’t haha

I don’t shave my arms but I don’t shave my legs either

I shave my arms–my arm/leg hair is like, black. But I only shave my arms every few weeks, because 1) the hair grows back slowly, 2) my skin is really soft, and 3) my arm hair is really fine and soft. So even if it’s been three or four weeks, there’s hair but you can’t see it very well and if you feel my arm you can’t tell. Haha. I do shave my legs everyday, though, so maybe I’m just a little weird about shaving.

Btw, I’ve never seen arm hair like that on a girl. A little too much testosterone, methinks. 

I’ve never seen a girl with arms that hairy before! 0__0…
I do shave mine.. I like how smooth they feel =)

I shave everything except my eyebrows and head. I even shave the peach fuzz from the cheeks of my face because i can see it so it needs to go. I like being as smooth as possible. Its kool if others wanna go natural cause its all your preference. Now the girls who let their mustaches&chin hair(yes i went to school with a girl that had more than an inch of hair under her chin..billy goat)grow way past the overlooking stage should totally shave..Thats just odd but who knows..They may like it.

I shaved my arm once because i thought it was weird to have arm hair. Then i realised how little hair i actually do have on my hair and that it’s really light, even though i have like reeeeeeeally dark hair on my head

No, I don’t shave my arms. I wish I had never started shaving my legs cuz I really didn’t need to. I was just curious. But now I have to cuz its a vicious cycle. 

I shave my arms.
I’m really self concious about it.

mm i’ve gotten them waxed like twice. my arms feel really exposed afterwards, lol.

my arm hair doesn’t bother me that much. but it’s winter, and i wear long sleeves, so. x]

No I don’t shave mine. I’m very dark haired and I barely have any arm hair. Plus I don’t like how shaves hair looks.

I would say I have hair on my arms, but I don’t even considering shaving them – that’s just too much upkeep for my liking.

I do, my arm hair is thick, and dark.  Luckily I only need to do it about once a week.  It grows in really slow.

I shave my arms. I cant stand seeing hair on them…even though I am not that hairy.. 

i have really thick, really dark hair so i have noticable arm hair, but not even nearly as bad as the girl in the picture (not at all). i just use hair removal cream occasionally. 

I don’t shave my arms. I think it’s unecessary at least for me. My brother in law shaves his arms, and I tell him he’s gay ^_^ it’s funnier because he’s the straightest guy you’ll ever meet.

My arm hair was long as a child, but it’s not as long now. It’s blond too so I don’t want to shave it ever. 

I don’t. I have dark hair, but I’ve never really noticed it as a problem on my hairs, since it’s lighter there. I get annoyed having to shave everything else on my body, my arms can just deal with it. 

My arm hair is super short and light for which I am thankful.
If I did have long arm hair like that girl in the picture, I would shave my arms.

I think it’s a little odd but not weird. It’s just not done as much as shaving your legs but its understandable.
I dont have to shave my arms thankfully. But unfortunately my hair is the type that even if I shave it (on my legs) you can see see like… where the hairs are supposed to come out of. So even if they dont feel stubbly they look like it. It’s so ugly. I tried nair to see if I could get rid of that and it didnt work.

i don’t shave my arm hair, i’d be just adding one more thing to do in my schedule
my arm hair doesn’t need to be shaved
i know people, friends who shave their arm hair
i don’t find this weird or anything…i just don’t like how it looks when it starts growing…

I shave my arms, my hair is really light and grows really slowly. So I only need to shave it like once every two months and it never grows back darker or anything. It’s just personal preference, really. Right now looking down I have some short light arm hair growing back but it really isn’t bothering me much. Still if I got bored in the shower I might shave it.

i dont have a lot. shaving seems like far too much of a hassle. its harder to hide arms than it is to hide legs.

I see nothing weird in it

my arm hair is short, thin, and blonde, so no, i don’t shave it. i don’t want to have to deal with the unnecessary stubble. but lots of my friends do shave their arms and it’s not really a big deal to me.

I shaved my arm once and I regret it. My arm looks worse. Before it was fine with little fair but now the hairs are visible. They’re not proper bad, but they just make me angry for my childish thoughts of ‘shaving my arm’.

i dont, i did once when i was little cuz i was experimenting with a razor, but i dont have much, but i know a girl that does

I have a fair amount of arm hair, but im blonde so its not really noticeable. People who have problem with it can eat my the shaved hairs of my legs:)

try waxinggg it lasts way longer and it reduces the growth over time…. i wax my arms and over the year i have waxed my arms about 5 or 6 times and there have been a massive difference made 

me and all my girlfriends doo i love haveing no hairs on my arms and it makes my job a whole lot nicer

I have hair on my arms, but it’s thin and not too noticeable, so I don’t shave it.

In middle school I did. Because I got made fun of for it.

But I haven’t since then. There are times when I notice it on myself. Like if I’m showing my bracelet or a ring on my finger && then realize that people might notice the hair && that makes me feel . . . awkward. But I feel lazy doing it. If I do end up wanting to get rid of it, I’d just wax.

Not even my Indian female friends shave their arms.
And I don’t even shave my legs, so I wouldn’t want to shave my arms, which are about the same hairiness.

i dont have hairy arms but if i did trust &+ believe me when i say i would shave those bad boys off … ugh. i just hate hairyness in general.

nope no arm hair at all. 

Sometimes mine can get pretty dark around my wrists, so I shave around that area, but I almost never shave the rest of my arms unless it’s very noticeable.  It rarely is, though.

Dang! That girl has some HAIRY arms! And I used to shave my arms because they looked better than if they weren’t shaved. But I got lazy and stopped shaving them, and they grew back like I had never shaved them at all. I guess I don’t mind, but I guess I really don’t care because I don’t go anywhere or expose my arms all that much. 

i was made fun of so much when i was little for my arm hair. now, my arm hair doesn’t seem nearly as dark.

i guess it’s because when you’re little, all girls have short, blonde arm hair. i didn’t. the funny thing is, the hair on my head was blonde.

I have dark hair on my arms, which is noticeable, but I don’t really care anymore. I was teased also as a child. I don’t shave my arms but I’ve thought about it..

I shave my arms, because I just love feeling smooth

the hair on my arms is long and dark..but not thick..i was it once a month @__@..

I did it once during middle school, and I think because of that, my hair now sticks up far more than it did before I tried shaving. I haven’t done it since, but it seems tempting sometimes.

I have dark arm hair and I shave my arms. I do it because I used to be made fun of when I was little and in highschool. So I definately know where your coming from.

I would never shave my arms. If I had really really long and dark arm hair I would wax it.

I used to shave my arms when I was around 13 years old I want to say.  I stopped when my mom yelled at me for it and said that it makes the hair grow back darker.  Other than that I’ve bleached them once and have wanted to have them waxed. 

Mine are thin, and they don’t come in thick patches. It’s uncommon for girls to shave their arms.. but hey.. it doesn’t matter.

I do not shave my arms. I often feel uncomfortable about the hair on my arms, and it often gets to me. However, I’m too much of a wimp to get my arms waxed!!! I just recently started plucking my eyebrows. OOOH that hurts on your first time!!!! 

I have hardly any body hair and I’m a natural blonde, so you can’t even see my hair…. I was actually asked by my lab partner if I shaved/waxed/burned my arm hair off. In my family, all the girls have hardly no arm hair and it’s really blonde so I always thought it was normal.

Wow, that is a crazy amount of arm hair on the girl in the pic.

Luckily for me, I’m Asian, so I hardly have any arm hair. =)

I get my arms and legs waxed. I don’t have a lot of hair to begin with, but it just leaves your skin really smooth I can’t resist. Plus I don’t like when hairs stick up..it bugs. 

One of my friends has very pale skin and very dark hair, and when she was in 5th grade her boyfriend broke up with her because she had hairy arms. She shaves her arms every day now… and she’s 21.

ehhh i have darker arm hair and it used to bother me, but i dont think i could stand shaving it. my skin is sensitive and i can only shave my legs about twice a week without them getting irritated, so i doubt i would be able to shave my arms everyday either… and i think it would bother me more to have prickly arms than to have dark arm hair. people are more likely to see and/or touch my arms then they are my legs. and i know if i touched or bumped into someone with prickly arms it would kinda freak me out… 

I do it, and other than my two closest friend (they do too) people think it an odd thing to do.  My mother, guy friends, etc.

I don’t think it’s weird.  People shave their other appendages…right?

i like my arm hair?
it blends in with my skin
and it turns blonde in the summer

i dont think its a nuisance

I don’t shave my arms but I totally understand people who do.
Us girls are put under pressure with what the IDEAL women should look like… and heavy, accented dark, hair isn’t what you call feminine.

But even if I did have dark hair on my arms I think i’d be too lazy to shave them. Just because I am a lazy person … in general and the constant shaving makes me cringe.

I might even add I stopped shaving my legs… JUST because it’s winter and … I doubt anyone can see through my jeans. (HAD to add that in)

I’ve got pretty dark hair on my forearms, but luckily it’s fine and I’m not really worried about it. In elementary school, kids used to make fun of me for it, but it doesn’t really matter now as an adult. My younger sister does shave her forearms, and it’s kind of gross in between shavings if she brushes up against you and you feel stubble on her arms

I’ve shaved my arms since my freshman year in high school- i like it much better! =]

I shave my arm hair when it gets to the point of that girl in the picture. If it’s just a little hair, I don’t mind.

I have incredibly dark hair, but my arms aren’t too too bad.

And I get mad when people tell me my arms are hairy. I just say if we were meant to be naked, then we would have been born without hair. I don’t think it’s as big a deal as people make it.

I shaved it when I was little. I completely regret it, though.

I shave sometimes but not always.

@snapeful@xanga - lucky ):  

i don’t really have much, it’s thin and kinda light but i just ignore it

i shave my arms every day, mine looked almost like the girls above. it was aweful. my name bein hailey i used to get made fun of called “hairy hailey” one day i just shaved em and have ever since.

i dont shave my arms, but that;s cos there’s barely anything on them and the stuff that IS there, u need a magnifying glass to see. ppl actually make fun of me for that. xD

I shave my arms because of the same reason! when I was 13 this cute boy told me “you have really hairy arms for a girl”

I shaved them that night and never looked back, ahaha. <3

Yeah dude!
I shave EVERYTHING on my body.
Just because it’s gross to me. I have like a personal hair phobia almost.
I don’t do it for anyone, not my boyfriend or any shit like that.
It’s just personal hygiene for me.
I can’t stand having hair on my body anywhere but my head, eyelases, and eyebrows.

Gives me the heebie jeebies. Ugghh.

@mashroob@xanga - omg i feel the EXACT same way! even those tiny little knuckle hairs bother me and i shave those little suckers off!

I totally shave my arm hair. I didn’t used to (I started this june) but ever since that first shave, I knew I couldn’t have true arm hair again. 

I don’t have any hair.  I don’t even shave my legs.  However, if my arms looked like that girls in the photo, I’d have a lifetime supply of gift certificates to the spa to get waxed.

i do when i’m doing something extra special or when it bugs me… kinda like shaving my legs only i do it less often cause i forget i have armhair until i’m trying to impress someone *shrugs* it is what it is.

I’ve been shaving my arms since I was 12 because I was teased about it since elementary school. Looking back, I don’t think they were all that hairy (nothing like the picture!), but kids are cruel.

I like my woman shaved!

I do,, once in a while.
I don’t think it’s weird at all. What’s wrong with wanting to be presentable?

hmm i used to in middle school cause it was cool. but then one day i asked this girl why she shaved hers and she said because she goes to the beach to surf and the sand bugs won’t be so attracted to her cause of her shaveless arms. it made a point then. so i figured why shave my arms cause its popular? thus i stopped. good post though.

I remember when I was younger other girls would also pick on me for having really hairy arms. I shaved them once, and then I thought about it and decided I didn’t give an rats ass. 

I’ve shaved my arms like once, to be honest I don’t really need to. Even though I have dark hair my arms don’t really get that hairy.

Nerps.
You can’t really see or feel mine.

I shave my arms too, I was so self-conscious about my arm hair and couldn’t stand it because it was so dark. I’ve been shaving it since 5th grade.. My friends that know think it’s strange but I don’t care because I hated it so much. I personally think its fine to shave your arms. It’s just like if someone doesn’t like their nose they get a nose job.. but not painful. Hah. Yeah that was a bad analogy.

I’ve been shaving mine for years.  It’s not a hassle at all.  It’s become very routine.

I don’t shave my arms or my legs. I don’t find them hairy or anything and I’ve heard that if I do shave them, thicker strands will grow over the old ones…so I though it’s best to keep it natural.

I don’t have hairy arms at all. Thank the good Lord.

I shave my arms because, like you I had pretty dark arm hair. It lightened up in the summer and it wasn’t grotesque, but it personally annoyed me. I’m glad that my arms don’t get very prickly when I skip a shave though, cause my hair is pretty soft.

Swimmers shave their arms… But did it ever occur to you that excess arm hair is caused by a hormone issue caused by too much testosterone caused by endometriosis or polycystic ovaries?

And shaving your arms and legs, anything else makes it grown in thicker…. Just a thought.

i have arm hair,but it’s light and not too obnoxious so no one minds it

@mysterygirl3000, you contradicted yourself by saying hair removal is unnatural and shaving is stupid, meanwhile you said you wax your arm and use depilatories. waxing and Nair count as “hair removal”.

in reference to the post, i recently started shaving my arms. A lot of hair grows on my arms unfortunately which i’ve always hated. I was even teased about in my younger years. I never did anything about them only because i was worried about how the hair would grow back if i did. The first thing i used was Nair, and i had a pretty good result! I decided to try shaving and it’s okay too. I like to switch between the two so i don’t do too much of one. I think taking off the hair on your arms is your own choice and you shouldn’t let other people’s opinions affect your actions. 

I wax my arms. Never tried shaving it cause I didn’t think it would last long.

I probably wax them every month or so, depending if I get lazy. I just prefer to be smooth (or at least appear smooth). My hair isn’t as bad the girl’s extremely hairy arms in the pic, but they’re still hairy.

I’ve never told anyone though, I don’t think I have to. & if I did, their opinion shouldn’t matter. It’s your body. Your choice. No arm hair for me, whoop whoop. xD

I have always shaved my arms. I started really young, before my teen years I think. Kinda weird but I was a water loving kid and that meant bathing suits, so one day I decided to shave off all visable body hair. Anyways, I don’t think it’s weird to shave off arm hair, mine grows in a little bit dark and I don’t like how much you can tell the contrast between my skin and hair. Plus, I just like when it’s smooth. Sometimes it’s a bit of a pain having to do both the legs and arms, but you get use to it. Having thin arms and legs helps lol. Decreases the amount it takes, woo.  

I wax mine, not shave. It does seem weird to me..but if I don’t, I’ll look like the girl in the picture. Ew.

I shave my arms! I like how soft they are. And I just like being hairless, haha. Well except for my head, of course. And it’s not that weird to shave them. I mean it’s not one of those things where you have to shave it everyday, or every other day. Arm hair grows SO SLOW. So it’s not that much of a hassle.

i dont think its weird at all.  i used to do it but my bf finally told me that he thought my arms felt kinda weird, like a baby’s bottom.  so i decided to stop for a while and now that all the hair is back, its hardly even noticeable.  it’s blonde and i’m a bit tan.  

no, i have blonde hair everywhere.

Omg  love this post! I think it is soooo disgusting when girls keep their arm hair! Ehh like wtf is up with that…if u shave ur legs,SHAVE or wax ur arms. I used to shave my arms but now I wax or chemically get rid of it! (Veet etc.) The 0NLY time its acceptable to have arm hair is when u are a natural blonde and the arm hair is not noticeable at all.  =]

I shave my arms because if I don’t I look like a hairy beast.

And no one likes that, especially me.

It’s not weird, i do my mom does, my aunt does i know tons of girls that do. I hate the feeling of being prickly or hairy.

i don’t. my arm hair isn’t that long and it’d be a hassle. i don’t think it’s weird though

Ha I feel like the only one with noticeable arm hairs. They’re dark and long, but very fine/soft. I’m glad I don’t have pale skin, or else I’d look like an even more of a monster haha. I got my arms waxed once, but I didn’t like the way the follicles looked…it’s weird, but I’m really bothered by it.

I inherited my dad’s insanely hairy genes.

Hmm.  My arm hair is long and dark, and it’s noticeable, but I don’t really want to shave it.  I just don’t understand why women are supposed to be so hairless everywhere.  It seems unnatural.

I wouldn’t call it weird, impractical maybe, but not weird.  My best friend does it, her arms are incredibly soft, but I was born with blonde hair so my arm hair isn’t very noticeable and even if it were, I wouldn’t care; chances are I’d bleach the hair before shaving it, as that makes the hair grow in thicker.  

i shave my arms. :[
i have really thick dark italian hair, so it’s like, really embarrassing.
no other girls i know have it, and guys find it unattractive (even though they shouldn’t care if they really love you), and lastly, in my childhood, i got picked on for it.
because i looked like a “werewolf”.

so, yes, i do shave my arms.

I used to shave it until I couldn’t stand having prickly arms anymore haha. I grew it out over summer so it would be able to lighten up with the sun. I still hate my arms, but now I have a hell of a lot less of shaving to do.

i shave my arms, yes.
i’m italian and have very dark hair.. so it looks bad if i don’t.

i do. most people surprisingly don’t think its weird lol but then again.. i never just go up to people and say ‘oh hi i shave my arms’. i know a couple other people that do too

I don’t! I have arm hair but it’s blonde so I’ve never bothered with shaving it.. no one seems to notice or be grossed out i don’t think!

I shave my arms! I had really gross hair on them before, cause I’m Indian and I also have PCOS, so I’m hairy. but I like how soft they are after shaving. I don’t shave the top half of my arm though.. is that weird?

Everyone used to call me a monkey when I was younger haha. I shaved my arms once then everyone made fun of me for that. Now people peroidically make comments about my hairy arms but really its just dark, anyway I’ve been thinking about shaving them, I feel I’ll get ridiculed either way/

I shave my arm hair because I was picked on for it, yeah. 

the hair on my head is pretty thick and dark, but i don’t actually have much in the way of arm hair, even though i’m a guy.  i don’t necessarily like a lot of hair on girls’ arms, but i don’t really care that much if there isn’t a lot.

I don’t see what the big deal about arm hair is, or any other body hair for that matter–it’s totally natural, you have what you have. I’m pretty surprised by some of the stuff people are saying about arm hair. I think a bit of arm hair is nice, I think no arm hair is okay too–but mostly I don’t even notice it.

I have really dark hair, and my arm hair is somewhat noticeable but super soft.

i have no arm hair thank godd.. =/ but i know plenty of ppl that wax or shave it off.. i think if i had arm hair i’d use my epilator and tweeze it all off so after some time i’d just stop growing.. because thats what happened to my leg hair.

yeah i do in the summer, i think i have hairy arms.  a lot of skinny girls do.. i noticed that.  I use nars to do it. 

I always shave mine, never have the prickly problem, I got tired of the hair. It wasn’t that much, but more than what I usually see, not like the girl in the picture you posted though. That’s pretty sick.

I know someone that does her arms. I would wonder that it doesn’t get that spiky feeling the hair on your legs get when you shave. I even know someone who shaves their eyebrows instead of tweeze, wax, etc. It scared me to death–so near the eye with the blade! I used to bleach my arm hair, but now I just tan a little and who cares if it shows.

I’ve shaved my arms about once a week ever since I broke my right elbow and had a cast on it for 6 weeks.  For anyone who has ever had a cast on a limb, you know that after weeks of having no sunlight, air to breathe or human contact-the limb that the cast has covered looks extremely ghostly and hairy.  The day after I got my cast off, I shaved both my arms because the hair on my right arm was so long and dark compared to the other arm.  Ever since then, I’ve always shaved both of my arms-don’t want to know how full and thick it would grow back!  But everyone that knows I shave my arms and sees it, thinks I’m weird.  

My arms were atrocious… like, I work with a bunch of guys and yet I still had the hairiest arms. So I started using that Smooth Away stuff, and I loved it. So much better for my skin than shaving, plus, it didn’t grow back as fast. I only have to do it once every 6 weeks!

Hm. I don’t shave mine…and I have dark-ish hair, but my arm hair is so pale as to be invisible. My younger sister’s is terrible though…hers is blonde, but it’s bad enough that her arms have a monkeyish quality to them She’s pretty otherwise though, so I guess that outweighs a little arm hair.

dear lovelyish:

thanks for making me self-conscious about something i had never even thought about before.

now I get to check out other girl’s arms to see if my arm hair is an acceptable color/thickness/length.

glad i showed up today.

love,
lizzy.

a lot of girls shave their arm hair around here so i don’t think it’s that strange. i don’t need to, but i still wouldn’t do it because what about razor burn, ingrown hairs, and things like that? does it grow back all stubbly? if it does then are you going to have to shave it for life or end up a gorilla in a nursing home??

i shave em. damn pcos >_<

Eh, I don’t think it’s weird. Everyone has their things they do to make themselves look better. Like I know I obsess over making sure my eyebrows are shaped just right while my other friends don’t really think about theirs very much. But you know what’s weird, when GUYS shave their arms (and they aren’t on the swim team). That I don’t understand…

I don’t shave mine, but I don’t have really dark arm hair, either. I don’t think I know anyone does it, although I did know a girl in 9th grade who did it once just because she felt like doing something “different” to get attention. Nobody really noticed, because she didn’t have dark hair on her arms to begin with, so she had to tell people and let them feel her arm before they’d notice. :p

But, no I don’t think I know anyone who has done it because they felt they needed to. :p

I use an epilady on my arms as well as my legs.
But for my arms I tend to only do it in the summer since I’m mostly in long sleeves otherwise.

I do when I feel it is necessary. Not in winter though, when my arms are covered anyway

I have arm hair, but nowhere as thick and obvious as the picture above, but it’s enough to be called Gorilla by my classmates/friends. Same with my legs. But I’m waiting til I’m working or in college before I start shaving my arms/legs. My mum says it’s such a life-long commitment, that it isn’t worth spending time on. 

somedays though, I wish i was not so hairy and that i had better genetics (mum’s hairy too) or that atleast my hair was as blonde as my cousin’s (hers are thick too, but blonde, so you can’t see.) AND that I could just shave everything off. But I know i’ll regret it later, so I restrain myself. rahhh, i hate my hairy genes ): 

hahaha my old boss use to throw up when ever he saw a girl with any hair on their arms.

i think that`s stupid .

I gave lots of arm hair. I used to shave it, but now I just don’t care.

I have really hairy arms because I’m Italian and its always bothered me. it still does. I’ve always wanted to but my mom always urged me not too. maybe someday I can get laser hair removal!! *crosses fingers*

Even though I’m dark headed, my arm hair barely noticable really. And If I DID shave I’d worry about arm stubble.

i shave my arms even though i have had light arm hair my entire life. I love the smooth feeling of it, and i hate hair being any place but my head/eyebrows/eylashes. I have a thing about it.

my arms are haiiiry. long dark hair but awkwardly long. i used to get made fun of, too, but i got over it. i love my arm hair now :]

I shave my arms.  They’re not that dark but they were dark enough for me to feel like a gorilla.  My sister does the same.  My last sister’s arm hair is blonde and unnoticable.  I think you should get rid of it lest you don’t want to look like a female.  Arm hair is a man thing.

i shave my forearms only. and my knuckles. because hairy knuckles on a girl =

@allofmylovee@xanga - I’ve been doing it for 3 years now, I have never gotten razor burn or stubbly hairs.  You just need a good razor and the right pressure.

My friend said to me the other day, “You know what Lucy told me, that she shaves her arms! I know!”

I was like, so…?

There’s nothing unusual about it. In my opinion you should be hairless except head and eyebrows. No body hair is better than too much.

i do not have one friend that doesn’t shave their arms. i use veet about once every two months on my arms…wayy easier than shaving

I knew a girl in 8th grade who announced that she shaved her arms. At the time, I thought it was weird, but now I can understand that some people feel more comfortable with shaved arms, and that’s all good. Mine are short and blond, thank goodness, one less thing to worry about shaving!

Usually it’s hardly noticeable honestly, and I think the idea of arm stubble is TERRIBLE   so no, I don’t shave my arms. 

mine is blonde but i dont like the prickley feeling so i shave

Nah it’s not weird to shave, I would if mine were hairier…thats girls are disgusting!! Sometimes I get concious of my arm hair n start pulling it out…weird, but it sort of thins it out n I feel less like a gorilla…

i shave everything except for eyebrows and head hair. i think the body is only fully appreciated when it is soft and smooth and, well, hairless.

I don’t want to deal with another part of my body that needs to be shaved. I am considering permanently removing it with lasers though

I’ve never shaved my arms…legs are enough to worry about!
I only have a little bit of hair there anyway, though it is dark hair.
My beautiful little sister has hairy arms though…boys used to call her “Gorilla Arms” and she wanted so badly to shave them…I think that may be a reason why she tans so much now. It’s really sad.

I have arm hair.. I don’t have A LOT like the picture above, but I have arm hair. I don’t shave it off because when you skip the shaving for a couple of days, your arm starts getting prickly and when you’re near those arms, I feel like I’m getting stabbed. (Okay, maybe I exaggerated it a bit, but I don’t like the prickliness)… At least with legs, it doesn’t rub against people.

But I’m not judging you, if you like the feeling go for it. And if you can keep up the maintenance then more power to you!

I absolutely hate arm hair. I shave mine all the time, I mean it’s not bad at all, I just hate the feeling of hair where it should not be. I even try to get my boyfriend to shave his. Sometimes he does, because cuddling with him sucks when his arms are really hairy. MAYBE I’m going a tad over board, by making him shave. Am I? I just don’t do hair. That’s all. I think it’s normal, some don’t tho. Whatever makes you happy. 

i have fairly hairy arms. but i dun shave cus i dun wana have blunt hair on my arms.

I shave my arms too.. hairy arms look bad on girls and guys (imo) the bad thing is that once you shave them you can’t leave them alone because then there are studs which is worse than peach fuzz, so beware! It takes some extra time but it’s worth it.

shave it, please~

lol i can barely see my arm hair. and i think i’d need a magnifying glass LOL.

I shve my arms like once every couple months. I like to let it grow back a bit cause i hate the prickly feeling.
I wish it would just go away though.

I don’t think it’s weird. If I had dark hair on my arms (mine is light-ish brown), I would probably think about shaving or perhaps bleaching it.

Why do we shave our legs anyway? I wonder why we consider clean-shaven legs on women to be more attractive than hairy legs. Even the words “hairy legs” have a negative connotation. Weird.

well-I think it is a very sexy and pretty thing-they7 don’t look manly they just look like a hairy girl which indicates that she is sexually mature-not pre-pub-it’s cool

@mashroob@xanga - lol how cute even your peach fuzz?

My Arms Are Quite Hairy but not really hairy than somepeoples….Dont Shave Yur Arms There come back darker and hairy and u will have to keep doing it….When yur older if u have enough money ….you can always get laswer treatment which i think aot of celebs get dont…Emma roberts has hairy arms theres no deal with hairy arms <3

I don’t shave my arms, but that’s because it takes a lot to convince me to even shave my legs.  Besides, I have blonde arm hair, so what’s the point?  My best friend, on the other hand, has been shaving her arms since seventh grade and she hateshaving ANY body hair.  She got my other friend into shaving her arms, too.  They both have amazingly smooth skin (something I don’t have) so I aways feel their arms (not creepy, we’ve been friends for 10 years).  So, it’s not weird, but I could never get into such a habit. 

I’m asian AND I’m a girl so I have two standards to live up to. I used to be extremely insecure about my arm hair because none of my family members had it… neither did my asian girl friends and even asian boyfriends. I considered shaving but I thought that would backfire in the long run so I just decided to bleach it. It’s a lot lighter than it was before so I’m pretty content with it now  

I’m Middle Eastern, and therefore have naturally thick dark hair.  I have no pain tolerance (no waxing for me) and Veet/Nair smell horrible!  So I shave my legs every day and my arms twice a week.  Arm hair does grow back much slower than leg hair.

I don’t because it’s blonde, but if I had dark hair I think I might shave them or nair them if it was long enough.

I have hairy arms, but it’s blonde so it doesn’t bother me. If It was like heavy hairy and dark I would probably shave them though. 

So I have black hair, but I don’t remove the hair on my arms because my mom told me not to once, lol. I may be miles away from her but I respect her opinion. Plus my arms are the darkest part of my body due to t-shirt tans. My legs are really light…

I think arm shaving is kind of extreme, but some people have extreme arm hair. most people really dont have to

I have really light skin and really dark hair and have always felt self concious about it. :/ I always wore long sleeves and the like until I finally decided I wanted to do something about it. Now I bleach it, and I think that was the best solution. I don’t want to shave my arms every day or have uncomfortable stubble and bleaching it makes the hair blend into my skin really well.

I think the arm hair on girls is very beautiful!!!

@phan__tom@xanga - I think a lady with hairy arms is very sexy

@TheCaffeinatedKnitter@xanga - you and your sis need to have a dna test to make sure you have the same father.

I love arm hair on women. I actually think it’s sexy, and it’s one of the first things i look at on a girl. I’m not talking gorilla hair like some men have but i definitely like a decent amount of hair on a gal’s arm. A lot of guys feel the same way believe it or not, just look it up on the net. There are actually specific sites about it. I hate, however, leg, or any other hair on a woman’s body. And one last thing for some of you girls claiming you have dark arm hair but your sister has light, i’d have a dna test to make sure you have the same father.

It’s very weird…gals should never shave their forearm hair…many, many, many men think it’s extremely sexy. Now i’m not talking about gorilla like hair, but in general girls who have hairy arms are extremely attractive. After face and boobs it’s the next think i look for, physically, in a woman…honestly. Don’t shave gals, guys like it, there are even sites dedicated to it.
