I strongly disagree that people don't notice -- if you watch people's eyes (try to do so discreetly), lots of people do notice when a guy shaves his legs. I see people picking up on it all the time -- friends, strangers in stores, etc. The fact that my legs are pretty slender and girly and really tan might also have something to do with it. But like all the other gurls who've posted in this thread, I've never had anyone comment or question me about it, and people really do not care. But if someone ever did inquire, my answer(s) would probably be --
- Bicycling is my main way of working out, and while I'm not a hardcore racer worried about wind resistance, spandex biking shorts are a lot more comfortable if your legs are shaved.
- If you need to tape an ankle or knee when working out, shaving is obviously desirable, and it looks pretty weird to just shave one area and leave the rest hairy.
- As I've gotten older, my leg hair has gotten a little spotty, especially on my lower shins and calves. I hate the way that looks, so I just shave my legs all over.
- I shave my legs cuz I like 'em that way! If that makes me a metrosexual, so be it.
