On shaving your legs in the summer.
In recent years, I like to keep shaved year round. However, when I have some social event, picnic, bar BQ, family thing, etc, where I will be wearing shorts, I usually let the hair grow out for a couple weeks before. This results in some short hair, about 1/2 inch, but not long and curly like normal. Nobody has ever said anything, and may not have noticed, as it does not appear shaved. I have been thinking about various excuses, if by chance, someone ever did say something, however unlikely, without going into a long song and dance about CDing.
1. I noticed swimmers and bicyclists shave their legs, and it is a cool look.
2. Makes me look younger. Hairy guys look old.
3. Some chick talked me into it. [I'm single]
4. It feels good, especially in the summer.
5. Just wondered what it was like.
6. Chicks don't like hairy guys.
Do these excuses sound reasonable and believable? Some thoughts?
no questions at all so far
i keep my legs smooth and getting no questions so far, so i think is the people around me dont look at my lovely legs (sniff) or its no prob and getting used to it by now. lucy
I started shaving my legs this winter...
I started shaving my legs this winter. And I, like you, was very concerned about who would react how & all of this sort of thing. On occasion, I still feel some uncertainty. However, I must agree with most of the other girls here. No one notices. No one cares. If they care, not enough to say anything about it. I have an "excuse" ready to go for family & close friends. (I would tell them that I tried shaving as part of my triathlon training -Only half true! Dressing was the real motivation. And my lovely wife liked it quite a lot. - Only half true! We both like it quite a lot!)
If someone I wasn't so familiar with started inquiring, I would probably tell them that it's none of their damn business.
That said, I have hung around family, friends, strangers & everyone in between so far this summer. I have not received one question. Not one comment.
Again, so far as I can tell, no one notices. No one cares. At least not enough to speak up about it.
Enjoy the shaven legs! Honestly! Do it. You'll love it.
shaving legs in the summer
I shave my legs all year round, I have never been asked "Hey, why are your legs hairless"? And to be honest if someone did I would smile and say something like " Its because I like them that way" but in actuality pantyhose feel and look better on shaved legs and I like the way they feel.
