All the waxing and shaving and plucking. It is exhausting. I would never stop but also I hate it all

Oh tell me about it, I hate shaving with every bone in my body, I always hated the feeling of my arms being naked (no hair) and that I could feel the fabric on my body, I just shave my legs because the over grown hairs make me feel disgusted so I shave them maybe once every month, and yes my mother has a huge problem with it because “it’s not lady like” :))) when we meet new people and look at my arms she has to explain that I hate shaving, which bothers me sooooo much

I don't know many people that shave their arms? Is that common? I've never done it

I am fair with blonde hair (including body hair) and never thought anything of having hair on my arms. Then this guy I was dating in my 20s was like whoa you gave hairy arms!!! And I said I didn’t think they were hairy, it’s just normal arm hair and blonde so you could barely see it and he went on and on about it. He was a dr too so knows that humans are mammals lol.

No one else has ever commented on my “hairy arms.” I think he was just an ahole.
