Hair is that one undesirable thing that just keeps coming back, unless of course it’s on your head. Then we love it. Shaving and waxing our legs and eyebrows is a daunting, painful task that most women have simply accepted as a way of life. But acceptance and obsession are two very different things.
Do guys really care about the arch in an eyebrow? Do they even notice if legs have gone unshaved for a whole 2 days? The answer, quite simply, is no.
“Shaving is a societal thing, not a guy thing,” I was told. In other words, if we didn’t live here and now, hair on our legs may be viewed in an entirely different way. We all think it’s gross only because we’ve been told it’s gross. In reality, it’s still a part of our bodies, so unless you think noses, fingers, and elbows are gross too, it’s time to accept a little stubble.
When it comes down to shaving your legs, “you can’t even tell.” I didn’t just make that up ladies, that came right from a male source. “It’s not like other guys are going to walk up to you and inspect your legs.” Stop wearing pants because you went a day without shaving. Stop being ashamed and worried what guys might think. Love your legs. They’re one of your best features.
Eyebrows are definitely foreign territory for guys. When I asked a source his opinions about the upkeep of female eyebrows, he told me: “I don’t even know what upkeep means.” Think about it. How many times do you notice someone else’s eyebrows while you’re talking to them? Never. Well, now you’re thinking about it but normally your eyes fixate on other facial features. Why worry about every tiny hair when no one even notices it?
In my conversations with the opposite sex, I learn a lot. In my hunt to find answers for this week’s topic, one point came through loud and clear. Guys tend to steer clear from girls who try too hard. There’s a very simple way to avoid that: don’t try too hard! Don’t worry so much about every little thing and every little hair. Be who you are. Love who you are.
Guys dig that.
