Men who shave their legs: Insane or Mental?

I don't mean cyclists as they have to for some reason, or even drag queens who have a legitimate reason. I mean men who APPEAR normal but shave their legs. Why? What possesses them? Do any of the men out there do it? How far up do you go?

Dear Lord no. Mind you I have enough trouble with the chin.

I think hairy legs are totally horrible. I think men should shave their legs. I am a massage therapist = I hate body hair. I hate it on legs even more than on backs.

(bodyhair on humankind = not thick or omnipresent enuff for mark s)

I've done it once, as part of a bid several years ago to appreciate how much work gurlies have to do to keep up appearances. I hacked my legs to pieces, chiz chiz. Ow!

I like shaving girls' legs, does that count?

I shave under my arms... does that make me odd. I have to though, as I often wear little skinny t-shirts and they'd look hideous if I didn't.

Don't shave my legs though. I'd need a lawnmower to do that.

At my friendsreunited.co.uk reunion on Saturday night, which actually went rather well, we remembered Lee. Many of us girls swooned over Lee, in particular his legs, often remarking that their hairlessness for a boy of his age was rather attractive. Then he came to school with a faceful of foundation and we realised the Truth About Lee.

I guess if you looked very lupine you'd want to shave it off. But it is odd. Unless it's for charity, then it's very odd. I am tempted to let my leg hair grow, until it is long and shaggy, then shave all of it off apart from the knee area, leaving a knee beard. Also, my legs are starting to get cold, now it is winter. If someone gives me some money I will do this. I am poor.

I've decided that this summer I will wear really big leg warmers.

And when I say "summer", I mean "winter".

LUNY!!!

Dud. I like cuddling with furry legs, not prickly bristly ones.

fury legs on women are great

― Ed, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

wa-hey! Fury Legs!

yes, hair = good, stubble = BAD. my boyfwiend is nicely hairy and if he shaved his legs i would frankly WORRY.

― katie, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My legs remain gloriously unshaven. But I've never had the need to shave them anyway, so hey. On the flipside, if I could I would annihilate for all time the annoying crud that willfully chooses to grow on my face and neck. But I have to make do with daily destruction.

I want to know what Nude Spock's legs are like. Hey Nude Spock, are you out there? Show us yer legs.

Ed, I wonder how a leg could be infuriated. ;-)

― Helen Fordsdale, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Unless you plan on being a professional body builder (a profession that still confuses me to this day), don't do it!

It will probably be too time consuming, and your legs will all become stubbly and harder to shave the next time. Pointless.

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No no, I couldn't shave off my lovely hair. Too weird, and I've grown too attached to it. And it to me. I imagine.

Also, think of the danger! A friend of mine had a patch of leg hair waxed by his ex-girlfriend and it NEVER GREW BACK!

― Ally C, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had a particularly hairy friend in college who shaved his legs from just above the knee down so that he could wear a cocktail dress to a drag party. We discovered he had done this when a bunch of us were in a dressing room changing for a glee club concert and he took off his pants to reveal... hairshorts. Oh, the humanity!

Not shaving your entire leg is the secret to neverending ridicule. (That, and pissing on a girl's pet rabbit, but that's another story.)

In an odd twist of fate a random person came up to me today, and began to talk on the subject of leg, well nearly leg hair. He leaned over the table and whispered conspirationally "Wanna know a secret?... I've got hairy feet"

I think a pertinent question would be not only how far up do you go, but how far down.

Hey Dan, what's a "glee club" anyway?!?!?!

― Sarah, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Glee Club" is traditionally a singing fraternity. A glee club is usually a men's chorus that sings barbershoppy-types of songs called glees. The name has since expanded to cover pretty much any collegiate men's chorus who wants to claim the name. We only had one glee in our song list; everything else was a folk song or some sacred piece.

I will chat more on this subject when I get back from my whirlwind tour of Carnegie Hall.
