I decided last winter I would shave them, and keep them that way. I tan well also, which makes it look less noticeable. I actually epilate them, and the roots seem to be giving up after a year or so of getting yanked out. I prefer shorter shorts, about 5 in inseam. I can't stand shorts that cover my knees, if I wanted Capris I would wear Capris. Anyway, after all summer of wearing them and keeping my legs shaved / epilated I have barely had a comment. No one seems to care, which suits me fine. Just wanted to share and add my voice to the several who have already said, just do it, no one cares. I swim at the gym, and the cholorine does seem to make me itch. It also seems to make the hair want to break off. That is true, and was going to be my cover story if anyone asked, but no one asked. I did have the lady who cuts my hair look at my tan legs in my shorter shorts and smile while saying "you have gotten some sun on those legs, what have you been doing?
