    Shaved legs in the summer

    I want to keep my legs smooth this summer. I am not hairy at all but I wonder how people will react to my smooth legs.. Anyone else had this experience??

    When people noticed I shaved my legs and asked why I simply told them I hate hair. Most of all I never had a bad out come from it. Good Luck.

    There are countless products aimed at males to remove body hair. Nobody really cares and millions of men remove their body hair everyday, yet this is always an issue on these forums. =p

    I'll wager that few, if any, people will say anything at all.

    Every once in a while someone may notice or say something. When questioned I tell them "yes, it's bikini time gotta be smooth!" In a very low overly macho voice. In all seriousness it gets easier over time to tell people you shave I do it now without any 2nd thought or excuses.

    mostly, they won't react, even if they notice. Like you, I'm not particularly hairy and I have kept my legs shaved for a more than a decade now. No one ever mentions it.

    Shaved mine this time last year and have not stopped. No one has once commented.

    I'm caught off guard with the freakishly hot weather right now. Out of necessity I have worn shorts outside with my hairless legs exposed and nobody said anything, yet. People do look, but in a "your fly's undone" kind of way. They don't want to be caught looking.

    I can't wait to have someone ask me about it so I can bashfully place my pinky finger on my bottom lip and reply in my most flamboyant voice "I was so hoping you would notice!" then chuckle and tell them I just like it that way. Hair is gross and makes me look old, it also makes it hard to apply sunblock without slopping on the whole damn bottle. None of this is a lie so it's easy to say. I'm surprised that most regular guys are too stuck in the macho man mode to recognize this truth and leave leg hairs in place. YUCKY and impractical.

    If you are a cyclist, as I am, it's a good excuse if you need one. No one ever commented back when I did shave my legs. However, since I stopped competitive cycling, harder to use that with my SO, who does not know of my dressing. So no bare legs for me, but I agree with others here that few if any will even notice, much less care.

    I don't cycle hard-core anymore, but I am planning to get back into my mountain bike and try "mud runs"....So, I'm using keeping my legs shaved as a motivator to get in good enough shape to justify telling people that "I ride, so I like to keep them shaved"......

    ...a head-game to be sure, but between that and my Nike+ app on my iPod, I'm hoping for good results



    Also....even if you're not a competitive cyclist anymore....road rash is still a concern (especially in groups with inexperienced cyclist) so, you probably should consider keeping your legs shaved.

    When I was a teenager there was a German lady that never shaved her legs! We called her miss hairy legs! I don't want to be called miss hairy legs so I keep my legs shaved all year around!

    My solution to make sure that people don't notice my shaved legs is to wear denim skirts instead of shorts and wear sandals with painted toenails. After they see those items they are not going to notice if my legs are shaved!

    Sweetie,

    "People" won't react at all. They haven't a clue who you are or what the normal state of hair on your legs is. The ones who will notice will be your wife, your kids (maybe), your parents (maybe), those close to you.

    The only answer needed to those so impolite to ask is, "I like it that way."

    Seriously, do you ask a women why she DOESN'T shave her legs? No, you do not. Why? Because it's a horribly impolite question. It's just as impolite to ask a man why he DOES shave his legs. It's a personal grooming question and in this society we DON'T ask questions about other people's personal grooming habits.

    Anyone who asks such a question is a social idiot and deserves a slap up side da head. You, as a polite member of society, would never do this, of course. But you could reply that it's just none of their business. Or, as I said before, a simple statement that you like it that way should suffice.

    Honestly, male grooming has changed a great deal in this regard over the past few years. The NO-NO hair removal system ads on TV show a man removing his chest hair with their device. Relax already about your legs. It's OK to go hairless.

    I know that I already commented, but I just left Starbucks and the man in front of me had on shorts and had shaved legs. I was most likely the only one to notice, and he did what we all should, just went about his business like nothing was amiss, and nothing was!

    Like all of the previous commentators, been shaving for some time now and no one notices... Told the bioreplacements that I stood too close to the camp fire and the hair doesn't grow back anymore.... Other than that, no one seems to care. But I do. Love it smooth...

    Nobody notices mine and I don't think they care.
    I only get comments about shapely legs, that takes the focus away from the lack of hair.
    I do not need to shave my legs. I wish that was the case with other parts of my anatomy.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    There are some that do notice, last summer I shaved my, first day, wife came in and saw them, and worried all summer some one might notice, she was the only one that did! But then it's cold here most of the summer, and I don't get to wear shorts all that often.

    I went smooth 7 years ago and no one said a thing.
    Not even close friends ... and that's where I expected a reaction. Now hairless all over since then I love it and won't go back. I particularly love the way my legs look smooth and tanned in a pair of cute shorts or a summer skirt.

    Once I started, I never looked back. No one has said a word. Ever.
