To shave or not to shave?
While growing up I was always told that women needed to shave because it was more 'feminine' or that it was unclean to have hairy armpits or legs. While growing up I heard that it was French women that participated in growing out their hair. I asked a French friend about this and she said she has no idea where that idea came from and from her knowledge was not true. When I was in Sydney, I noticed that some women did not shave their armpits.
Okay at first, I thought it looked 'funny' because society has programed me to think that way, but not too long after I began to question whether or not it was bad. I have searched on the internet for other people's thoughts about women growing out their hair. In some cases both men and women thought it was disgusting that women didn't shave, others believed that the women should do whatever makes them happy.
I am just curious what people on here think. I am a firm believer that people should do whatever floats their boat in any and all aspects of life.
To the Raw Women:
Have you noticed a change in your shaving routine?
Is the hair growth faster/slower?
Do you think this has anything to do with a particular food that you are eating or product you are using?
To the Raw Men:
What is your opinion about women with hairy armpits or legs?
Would you date a women with hairiness? Or would you draw the line somewhere?
Thanks.

Yeah I agree. I feel somehow what we put in our bodies reflects outward.

Wow, more power to you!
You seem to overcome what so many of us struggle to deal with acceptance of ourselves, regardless what society says.

Megre has chosen as Anastasia Photo ( the German Versions ) a very treated woman ... And far too much ... Eyelashes ... perfect ... Or maybe she is really Anastasia . We don ' t know here .
But HE has chosen her as Anastasia MODEL anyway . And it fits to the Region Type ( in talking to Russians ) .
And through the books , one see how she is treated and well dressed , even in few ... . She cares for the God ' s Food and the TEMPLE ... with natural things ... one does not need to look a ' traditional artificial ' ( over maked up ) .
When the Body becomes an EXRESSION ... well , it is great ... Egyptians ... well , since 10.000 years ago ... Ayurveda ... u.s.w.
Each one should feel OK as one wants to .

I have spent thousands of dollars and hours trying to get rid of it but it doesn't go away. Some day when I can afford it I'll do lazer and after that electrolosis. It may be tragic but I would watch the movie, The Elephant Man and cry because I know how it is to be a freak.
In the United States we have a very narrow minded view of beauty. In Europe and in Iran women have a choice not to shaved and no one gets repulsed by it. You have to do what makes you happy but for me when people treat me differently when I remove my beard by painful threading or by yanking out hairs via tweezing then I would rather go through the pain of removing it because at least I can make some friends or attract some guys. I don't know. I don't think it's ethnic because I have seen Indian, caucasian, and even a few asian females with facial hair.
I know this has nothing to do with facial hair.

i heard that monks shave their heads as like a spiritual thing. like they are shedding a part of them...
i think i look at my hair that way.
like getting rid of my hair is a ritual. i feel cleaner, fresher, freer when i do.
i think hairy armpits and legs on OTHER girls is hot. i'm not a fan of hairy vaginas though. facial hair is cool. nipple hair not so much. i don't know why, that's just how i feel.

DELETED because I was talking about Deleuzes comment on Skin and deepness : Le plus profond c ' est la peau .
There is a high level philosophy on that . Pure Spirituality .
The skin is a very deep way of contact . Noble .

To me the natural look makes it more intimate, and the others more porno. While porno does work 4 me, I won't pretend not, I prefer the natural look. It could be the subconscious thought that it's a bit pedophilic that turns me off a bit.

To RawZi :
Yes , I ' m North and Oriental . + 2 bloods . + 2 bloods P & I . Upper class. Clean . Hygiene .
But it is like this . In a natural way .
During the Middle Ages , when the most W were shaved at all , it was a matter of hygiene . And a sign of feminility . Deepness in a symbolic way .
And in Germany , 2 / 3 of teens are shaved . And 1 / 3 women , as well .
As said , this is too individual .
But ... it depends on _ .
...
Anastasia was very much soignée ... to extremes ... An Earth Angel ...
..
Atlantis ...
Humans do not come from Monkeys . It is the opposite . Devolution . Monkeys come from a devolution of Real Humans . Stars .
We will begin anew . Growing ... it does not work , since Middle Ages ...

Not really.
Razors scare me. They must have nickel in them. They nick, cut, strip, stubble is utterly wretched, and I'm allergic.
Occasionally wax seems okay. At least that doesn't grow back uniformly - but don't like doing it, am not quick about it.
I want to now, I've forgotten how beautiful I can be.
I thought about laser but nowhere near breast tissue or ovaries, you know, precautionary principle and all that. I'm not sure it's meant for darker skins anyway. It grabs melanin and I'm sort of doubtful of its capacity to differentiate between skin and hair melanin.
Electrolysis is okay for areas too sensitive for wax but it's also painful and the anesthetic that makes it less painful is toxic.
So I reached a compromise and do these painful things only if I want to be pretty for myself.
I think if you have a lot of hair it's there to protect you from something

When I was young I prayed that I didn't grow in a full beard. It would be nice to have no facial hair at all, but I think I need some here and there to look masculine. Fortunately, my prayers were answered. I have just a few hairs here and there on my cheeks and neck. I got exactly what I wanted. I am 32 and still pass as a high school student because of my looks, carefree attitude, and high energy.

I've met some hit chix on GITMR. Not satisfying in the least. Just the opposite. Most communication is self-defeating, accomplishes nothing. I would love it if people would leave me alone when I'm out and about. Anybody else?
Mariam, watching this raises questions: for instance, is this guy just an actor?
Seems like it. "Am I glad I went"? Well, in the sense that I knew I had to see him eventually.....I guess I got it over with (and used up my airline credit). Is he a...
"Did I meet any hot chix?" I love it~! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I've met too many of those in my life, already, many more than enough. I think I've had enough. But thanks!
also, a dr. friend told me that some of the waxy stuff can drip into your ear and do permanent damage. it does feel great, but i don't do it any longer. i've actually fallen asleep while having it done. =/
If you have something to trade, or there's something you want, here's a place you might like to display pictures or ask.
Thank you Wrenn that is what I thought too and your comments are very helpful! I think it would also be cool at $.99 for 5 TOTALLY new raw recipes and then it can be a series of them at $.99 each...thanks for your comment!
What are they used for? I've heard people people using them in smoothies.
women wants to re-make them just like if they were their own babies, and yet they want them to act grown up like a "real" man father and all that stuff. doomed to fail each time
why? was it great drama?
why not getting in to someone's head? everything is free
yes...
