What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

[Ninaroja]

I will admit that I pretty much don't bother if I'm going to be completely covered up (i.e. in Winter, but most girls are the same I think), which TBH is most of the time for me. I'm not really confident enough to expose my bare legs, though this summer I started to wear completely sleeveless tops/dresses (which I'm pleased about ) Usually in the past it was only if I were going swimming/for PE (I went to an all girls' school - having people see your body hair would have been social suicide)

I feel like being interested in females saves me some of this stuff you guys worry about, lol. In my experience when people have seen body hair on women (often times myself) they go like "wow, lesbian." I'm like... well, that's close enough. Don't care if you think such about me. Though I do have to shave sometimes cos it gets physically uncomfortable for me.

Yeah, I will admit smooth skin does feel nice but it's just so much effort


Man, yet another stereotype I wouldn't have attributed that to any particular sexuality, I think both genders shave purely for aesthetic reasons

^ I think you are right, but here, with the state of things, that is the conclusion people jump to. They assume if a woman is butch or "masculine" in any way, that she is gay. Obviously I don't care if people assume that about me, so it's not really a bother, but stereotypes are ridiculous oftentimes. I mean in the case of this one, all humans are naturally hairy, so... where logic? What do?

Have you heard of the movement where Chinese women are refusing to shave and proudly show off hairy armpits, btw?

^ YEE

@Julie - I have seen that on Tumblr a little, yes. I wouldn't have the confidence to do that though, unless loads of people here did it

^ I used to shave all the time, but then it just became too much work, and tbh, my leg hair isnt even that dark so I don't really need it. I just go under the arms every once in a while and I'm good. (Plus I don't care that much, I have my friends and for the most part they don't even care about girly things like shaving. lol)

[Ninaroja]

Some of my friends shave pretty much every morning in the shower - ain't nobody got time for that

Turns out I've been using IMDb's watchlist feature completely wrong. I thought it was a place to list all the films you've seen - turns out it's actually where you put films you want to see.

Welp, Just saw Boyhood! I have only one word to describe this movie: Authentic. This movie was real. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is restricted. I saw part of myself in Mason, and part of everyone in Mason. This is definitely not a normal "movie", its more like a documentary on life.

Click here only if you've seen the movie!!

Spoiler: show

I've lived as a child of a single mom with semi-frequent appearances by my father in the past few years. My father being a sorta musician, my mom, off and on, dating some asshole and later breaking up. Being passive with no real end goal in mind for a few years, and being moved around also semi-frequently. Well, I seem to be very very similar to Mason. I even played the same video games as him at his same age! The only thing I don't have in common in him is that he seemed to have a lot of mean friends, and a girlfriend I also noticed the lack of soundtrack/ambience in the movie made for very authentic dialogue. When the mom's first boyfriend was drinking and going off the hook at the dinner table, all that atmosphere was purely by the realism of the dialogue and acting. This movie was a Masterpiece! 10/10

[quote="Ninaroja"]I'll say it again: I've never understood why men don't have to shave (besides their faces) but women are expected to be virtually hairless it seems [/quote]
With us men, even on our beards, we just Shave 'n Go. [img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/aecDP/TnLK/Timongrin_zps6843c6ed.png[/img]

Actually, I don't even have a thick beard at all and it still itches me when it gets "big". Either way though, I prefer to have smooth skin on my face. So I'm forced to shave basically every 1-2 weeks because of the re-growth and occasional itching.
