my question is about body hair: do guys mind it?
ive dated a guy that said he wanted me to constantly be shaved, not just in my private parts. im a very hairy girl and if i shave everything grows back within a day or two, so its hard to keep everything neatly shaved. i know hair in private parts is personal preference but what about legs/tummy/butt/arm hair?
also while im at it: question for other girls
HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS SHAVED? even other hairy friends of mine are constantly shaved and i rarely catch a glimpse of hair on their legs. is there some secret tool that i dont know off? or do hairy girls just shave every single day? i gotta know
No.13756
>>13752As a guy, I think pubic hair is attractive, but personally I think I prefer smooth armpits/legs etc. That said, it also wouldn't bother me to the point of being a dealbreaker for dating someone who I liked. It seems silly to me to expect someone to ALWAYS be completely clean shaven.
I've never been in a relationship but most everyone has body hair to some degree and if I were to be in one I wouldn't want to let something like that get in the way of it. I also think that, based on crushes I've had, when you really like someone your physical preferences often change to accommodate that person. Maybe that is just me though.

>>13752I don't very much like a thick bush, but I don't really care about a limp one either. I appreciate it if it's trimmed a bit.
Armpits for me are fine, I don't understand why some women shave them clean. Hairy arms are not much of a problem for me, unlesss they're unusually hairy (like a man's). I do like smooth legs though.

>>13752I’m also ‘a girl’ and relatively hairy. Honestly, the issue is more with pubic hair than other hair. It hit pretty soon after puberty. I try to shave because it gets super uncomfortable when it grows out, but shaving is uncomfortable and difficult. Maybe I’ll get it waxed someday… it isn’t really motivated by appearance for me, I always do my best to keep myself looking presentable, but I just really want to be comfortable.
I always shave my legs over the summer. It’s just nice.

I don't really know how sexual orientation be, but for me, a little after puberty I mostly was attracted to fur. Now I still like cat ears or whatever, but I'm mostly into humans. Oddly, my size fetish seems more like how I've heard other people describe things like being straight, gay, trans… Like, I mostly like girls but guys can be cute too and I don't really care that much about my own gender identity, but if there isn't a 50x size difference between ppl fucking I'm not really that interested. Even that I can budge sometimes, for certain situations or fantasies I've managed to get turned on imagining ppl that are similar size. Actually, because my orientation is already so non intersecting with reality, I've experimented with getting turned on by other random things. I've had some success getting aroused just by music which is a cool feeling. No.13770

Q for girls/women (or I guess anyone who happens to have lots of female aquaintances):
How uncommon is it with ladies that don't use dating apps?
The way I hear them talk about men like items on a shop shelf comparing attributes in this detached analytical way always makes me feel kinda weird and uneasy.
But maybe it's something you have to just suck up and deal with if you don't want to be forever alone in this modern world.

>>13752I epilate, and the girls I know who shave tend to do it every couple of days or so. To be honest though, I think we tend to notice hair and blemishes and stuff on ourselves more easily than we see them on other people. there's a real tendency I think to see our perceived "beauty flaws" as more visible and worse than other people's even when they look pretty normal.
>>13778If she doesn't reply back, I think she's probably not interested. Sorry :c
To me a creep is people who are too forward asking questions that are waay to personal to ask someone they barely know, people who violate my privacy or try to touch me without consent, people who act possessive of me and try to boss me around, people who won't take no for an answer and keep pushing after I've tried to show I'm not interested.
No.13830
>>13794>How uncommon is it with ladies that don't use dating apps?Watch vid related. TL;DW: women and men do not use dating apps in equal numbers. In fact, the userbases of major dating apps are overwhelmingly male. This implies that women, more so than men, choose to stay off dating apps.
>The way I hear them talk about men like items on a shop shelf comparing attributes in this detached analytical way always makes me feel kinda weird and uneasy.Just to say that men do this too. I remember being in school and hearing two more popular guys discussing a particular girl and what sex positions she was willing to do. They shared disappointment that she wouldn't do anal, as if she was a cheaper model with fewer perks than other girls. So fucking creepy.
>But maybe it's something you have to just suck up and deal with if you don't want to be forever alone in this modern world.Nah, fuck that, roll. Sure, being on a dating app might let you meet people more quickly. But if it compromises your self-esteem, is it worth it?
The real world still exists, chances do happen, serendipity still plays a role in our lives. I'm still figuring out how to live without social media, but my tentative advice is: just do things offline. Sit in a cafe at a regular time each week. Join a club. Go see a band live. Be friendly at work/school and figure out who shares your interests. Furthermore, try to notice what goes on around you: eavesdrop on other people's conversations, look at the cover of the book they're reading, notice what's on their T-shirt, how they styled their hair, piercings, jewellery, tattoos. If you're in enough places at enough times, there will come a time when you will catch someone's eye and be in a position to strike up a conversation. And who knows where that could lead?

These answer are kinda about going from "undesirable" to "undesirable and creepy". I'm betting the spirit of the question is more what makes someone undesirable in the first place.
I know for me I'm pretty protective of my time, so almost everyone is undesirable to me all the time. But depth of conversation or an interesting approach to life will gain my attention which may become friendship. But mostly I like to let friendships die down after a while to messaging once every few months.
I usually let other people pursue me rather than the other way round since other people have higher socialization need than me, but this means I'm choosing my relationships through filtering which is kinda a sucky feeling. Also it means almost all of my friends have been other guys, which I'd kinda like to change since I would like to date, but it's really difficult.

>>13836They exist, but like the other sushi roll said on other sites.
I feel it's less common though because of socialization. Like the other sushi roll said being a neet requires you be kind of a dick and woman simply can't get away with that were I live, this might not apply to you since I live in a more conservative area. No parent is going to fund their daughter beyond college years, so it's get a job or married.
Also female neets tend to get married off.
>>13844Unpopular opinion, but I say they're misandrist the same way 4chans sexist and the same way, an odd example, the black panthers were violent. No one takes the misogyny on 4chan seriously half the time and if they do take it seriously you know their insane. Along with that their misogyny is from a place of genuine pain. If all you knew of men was 4chan, coomers, and the chronically online you'd hate men too. If you asked the average femcel why they said the stuff they said they'd give valid reasons. The same way if you asked a black panther why they did what they did they'd be justified.
Also I will say I never too what they said seriously because they were less deranged than the average 4chan misogynist. There have been multiple 4chan shooters, but not a single lolcow one.
I will say they do get joy from your anxieties and probably find it funny how you could survive 4chan not feeling offended, but a single female imageboard made you feel bad.
Also one last nuclear take sushigirl is more sexist than those femcel boards to me. This is because the average suhiposter is as deranged as the average 4chaner, but hides it under the veneer of wholesomeness.
Also I will not reply to any of your questions not because i can't find a good rebuttal, but this is the last thing I want to get off my chest before quitting imageboards forever.

>>13752I'll be honest I'm terrible at keeping up with shaving. All my girl friends have said they just shave daily or nair frequently. My partner is comfy with me not being shaven and I just do it for my own desire which probably helps.
>>13759"A girl"? Do you mean a girl?
>>13778Honestly a creep is just someone who won't stop doing something after you've made it obvious you don't want it (i.e. unable to respect boundaries). Gals tend to to have a lot of boundaries with guys and it's just finding them and avoiding them. That being said, it's clear the lady in your case doesn't really want to talk to you. Don't know why she gave you her number (maybe it's not her number) if that's the case but it is what it is. You won't get any fulfillment from continuing messaging her and if she's not gonna have the respect for you to talk to you then she's not worth talking to.
>>13794It's always a little annoying to hear your own kind being objectified, but we all do it about the kind of people we are interested in. Can't tell you how many guys I've seen "she has to be under 5'6 and a beautiful aryan and…" And girls definitely do it too but guys tend to fixate on that shallowness more perceiving themselves as less fortunate than women on that front. I don't believe they are and that it's just a desire to have some kind of male solidarity among all the women's solidarity when it comes to sex and dating. That stuff is better suited in places where men are actually discriminated against in society such as mental health. This is all bordering on politics, though, so I'll stop.

There are some few phenomenally cool people who trudge through all the shit but otherwise it's just bitter incel stuff but female flavor. Those few are real cool peeps though and wouldn't trade them for anything. As for other stuff I've been in some small communities but unfortunately they were just niche in ways I wasn't into and honestly segregated society isn't my jam anyways.
>>13861Desirability is 101% subjective. Female friends are just like any other friends, but girls do tend to be more picky of their time with other people and don't usually chase others around in my experience. You might have to be the one who initiates and honestly if you're looking for more than friends then your relationship is going to have to be 50/50 ok initiating and starting it out with you not putting in your part is a big red flag. Harkening back to my earlier reply, the easy road to creepy town is pushing boundaries.
>>14286Yes. If you don't really know her it's not really a great idea to confess in my opinion but it's really bad to do it over a letter because that can easily be over the top and make people uncomfortable. If you feel like you have to confess, do it in person and keep it simple. Not "i love you baby darling you're the light of my life I can't live without you" type stuff just "hey, I like you, [insert date proposition or do you like me back]". Getting it out is the hardest part but it's better to just do it if it's burdening you.
>>14311Not really. I mean I value my own, I've always wanted something special for that first time. But I don't care about people's "body count" or whatever. Also people probably aren't losing their virginity that young on average and those are just the ones who say they have lost it then are talking a lot about that stuff. Not saying they're lying necessarily either but just the whole "loud voices" phenomenon.
>>14317No. Love is love.
>>14321Assess the situation. Does she act like she likes you? If not, I'd avoid asking unless it's really killing you or something. That being said don't wait until the last minute that's putting too much pressure on everyone and makes it even easier to just say no since you won't get to spend time physically anymore. Keep it simple and easy if you do it.

>>13752>HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS SHAVED?There's already plenty of good advice here, but we're not! Oftentimes it's just genetics when it comes to how visible the hair is and the fact that you're not as observant when it comes to others. Kind of like when you stress over your own pores and skin issues while not really noticing them on others.
Your friends probably have lighter hair that they shave every other day, since you can't really see short stubble unless you run your hand across the body part.
Also like the other sushis mentioned, epilators are nice if you can handle the initial pain of using it the first couple of times. Really saves you time and I get less ingrowns that way, since my skin is quite sensitive to shaving and waxing.
Also don't stress about it, the older you get the less others seem to care about body hair. If your future partner can't handle the fact that you're a mammal just like him is he really worth it? Once you fully grow everything out it will be much nicer and fluffier as opposed to putting up with the scratchy and sharp stubble.
Something that I do for my bikini zone is shave the labia majora and then epilate/trim around the bush, if you want to make it look 'tidier' without going ALL the way.
>>13794Personally I believe in meeting people through common interests and activities, as online dating apps are designed to make people feel overwhelmed and like you said, view your potential partner in a detached and analytical way, which is awful. They're mostly used to find one-night stands, and I doubt anyone here would be interested in that kind of life.
>>13830> as if she was a cheaper model with fewer perks than other girls. So fucking creepy.Yeah, the way some men talk about their partners is downright scary. The things I've heard every type of man say when they believe they're among only other men is disheartening.
>>14298I hope you're happy wherever you are (I also agree with your takes!).
>>14311Yes, ideally I would like my partner to be a virgin, it'd be romantic to lose our virginities together. But when you say innocence I hope you mean actual innocence, not just the lack of opportunities and inexperience. Nothing worse than trying to get closer to someone and finding out they currently are or used to be addicted (I'd go as far as saying that just 'casual' use is worrisome) to pornography.
I am 100% serious when getting into relationships and want them to have a similar mindset. Otherwise what's the point. As for the age thing, there are a lot of older (30+) virgins. It just doesn't seem that way because no one is talking about it. As long as the other person is mentally mature and if you're normal about it (no resentment or overbearing clinginess) then there shouldn't be any issues.

>>15068 does make sense though, you should confront your partner when they did something you didn't like. I prefer to talk about it as soon as possible though, exactly because I don't want to bottle up and blow up in their face once day. I think somebody should rather measure with the reliability of a person and not if they get angry at you. Being angry at somebody can show that they care about you, but they could also just be somebody aggressive. Therefore the mentioned significant favors are a better way to see if they mean well.

>>15129> I assume it's easier for you to move on from someoneI have seen plenty of girls get absolutely devastated from breakups. I think it's more likely that these kinds of perceptions stem from the fact that a lot of young men haven't had as many opportunities to improve their emotional intelligence, as there's a huge social pressure against men expressing their emotions frankly.
Anyway, I had pretty rotten luck… I dated a girl long-term that threatened to kill herself after we broke up. I went on one date with a guy friend I trusted and he ended up pressuring me into something I wasn't comfortable with (I couldn't escape) and thereafter ended up harassing me for months.
Sometimes, when I'm trying to fall asleep, the anxiety comes back and those thoughts fill up my brain. It's hard to describe how it feels, but it's awful. So although feelings of romance were quickly killed by feelings of fear, I can't "move on" from the terror easily. This kind of thing (2nd situation) is unfortunately not an uncommon experience for girls. So although it might seem like girls are quicker to move on from a romance, the risks for our livelihoods are also disproportionately large. (Not to say girls can't also be crazy. They really can be. But all of these social systems are connected and girls are at high risk in this sense.)
In any case, my current relationship is really good, and if it were to end, I'm sure it would take me a lot of effort to figure out how to break those mental cycles. I'd recommend trying to identify what your triggers are for those negative cycles of thought and address them. If your thoughts about the person aren't negative (i.e. you're not wistfully wishing to get back with them, romanticizing your time with them, beating yourself up, etc) but just passive, that's part of life and it's okay to passively remember things from time to time about someone that used to be in your life if you spent a lot of your life with someone. If it's frequent though, I'd still go back to that triggers thing and really try to get at the core of what's causing those thoughts.

A healthy relationship in my mind requires emotional equity in that way. I don’t think people should generally start new relationships if they haven’t learned from/recovered from/deconstructed their past relationships. Otherwise you may be asking for a repeat scenario.
> never having had a relationship, much less sexual or physical intimacy is a red flag?In and of itself it’s not a red flag. Some people are going to want to date others with the same amount of experience in that area as them, and it’s important to respect that. But if you’re well socially adjusted and a good person, I think a lot of people are still going to give you the time of day. Relationship experience isn’t everything— there’s more that makes up a person. I’d just want them to be transparent about it and communicate their feelings/boundaries, same as every relationship.
> What advice can you give to someone who is avoidant and tends to leave people in moments these people scare himEveryone has emotional pitfalls but it sounds like something you need to be able to grow the resolution to push through. Usually when people say this there’s an internal self-doubt or a complex that develops those negative habits. Listen to yourself and figure out why it is you are this way— if you’re thinking of starting a new relationship but also anticipate that you will bail due to internal factors, maybe put a pause on that.

Not so much a question, more of a vent… I just thought this is the thread most in line with my topic. If anyone can offer some perspective on this that's fine.
I've been married for a few years, not a long time, but I am genuinely happy in my life, we are creating a home and doing our best and we get along really well and all. Only there's no sex. I knew from a long time ago that there is virtually no sex in marriage. And actually my sex drive has taken a dive since I turned 30, so I don't even really care.
The problem is that something, call it instinct or whatever, causes me to look at young girls and get aroused, quite often. Again, for the most part I come back home and I promptly forget all about it, but for example, today I was watching girls dancing on tiktok and I got frustrated that I can only look at these videos and never again in my life have a girl like that (not that I ever did, to be honest). Furthermore, there is this ONE girl who works at a place nearby and whenever I go buy their stuff I see her and I get all kinds of thoughts and feeling about her. I know she wouldn't even consider me, not in a million years, but that doesn't change the fact and I start making scenarios in my head where I talk to her and… just that tbh lol. The thing is, I feel really attracted to this one girl and I can't help it, and it is both impossible and in a way I feel like I'm doing something bad, like I am cheating, even though I know it's nothing but instinct. And the worst part is that I have nobody to talk to about this, maybe that's the problem, that's why I come and say this because I can't keep it in anymore, call me a bad person, maybe I am. I wouldn't do anything to endanger my relationship but then this girl appears and my mind just becomes a mess of mixed feelings. The fact that there is no chance at all with her is both a blessing but also a source of much frustration.

I can only imagine doing the thingies men do when in a heat with her, but anytime I try it with something or someone else, I just drink alcohol instead. And go back to cranking it to this person instead, makes me feel a bit sad reallyAnd it's not because "i can't get someone", shit i'm just in limbo of wanting to meet someone but being completely angry about men and people in generalit really fucking sickens me when men can't keep their brains in their head instead of below their gut and above their legs, so I guess men in general just make me sickgod i hate men/rant

>>15531See a therapist. If you care about your partner and keeping this relationship, and love her, wouldn't you want to find ways to deal with this? What you're describing would drive me insane and would make me feel absolutely awful. As it stands now you're not a bad person for having sexual thoughts towards other people, but how you deal with it will determine whether you're good or bad in most people's eyes.
Also, have you talked to your wife about the sex thing? I've heard "virtually no sex in marriage" is far from a universal truth and can be 'solved' (if it's a problem for you). If you communicate your lack of sexual fulfillment to your partner maybe you'll find some common ground?
The thing that bothers me about your post is the undercurrent of contradictory statements. You say you're satisfied with your relationship and your sex drive is low, yet you spend time watching TikToks of girls dancing and are fantasizing about a girl you know. You are clearly describing sexual impulses. The way you describe the girls on TikTok as a girl "like that" and then throw your wife under the bus honestly made me sad. It's not the vacant thoughts that make me doubt your intentions at all. It's the way you say your thoughts are nothing but instinct, that there's nothing cognizant about them, and yet your inability to get with the girl at the store is a "source of much frustration" and that girls on TikTok are a source of much jealousy. And that you don't find your wife physically comparable to them.
TALK TO YOUR WIFE. Don't tell her about these thoughts you've been having but TELL HER that you're satisfied in life and proud of what you're building together. Tell her you're unfulfilled and that you want to have sex!! Fix your shit.

>>155311. Enjoy making love to your now aging wife. That's a part of your marriage contract.
2. Don't actively lust over girls who are not your wife. That's a part of your marriage contract as well. If you take your time to enjoy the assets, then maybe the pain of fulfilling your liabilities will become less severe. Besides, if you 100% believe in the Bible, there is a this sin called adultery which pretty much describes your case.
3. Ever tried sharing your worries with your wife? How come you married a person whom you can't trust and who won't alleviate your suffering? Yes, a good wife may be very hard to find, but otherwise, why even marry when you're that old? Other than to have kids and to not die alone and forgotten.
4. Are your mother and father still alive? Do you have an uncle or maybe an auntie? Maybe you want to ask them what their experience was.

>>20055> What are your thoughts on small boobs?I can only give a generalized opinion without a set to give my opinion on. Quality over quantity I say. Smaller to medium tits tend to have to me a more appealing shape more often and they stay perkier longer through life plus they won't get in the way of physical activities so I wouldn't have an extra thing to consider planning dates. Even if they are less full they can have pretty sexy looking nipples. Cup size (US standard Im using) I'd say I like B and C the most commonly but some A and D cups can be great. I like all sizes to a degree though except the farthest extremes so no totally flat prepubertal chests or boobs bigger than basketballs but even then those aren't a reason I would reject someone either because there is more body parts and especially hearts to enjoy. <3
>>19408> I've kind of swore off girls and only date guys now just because i kept having shitty experiences with girls and feeling unloved. am i wrong for feeling this way?There is no wrong way to feel but there is wrong rational for feelings. It's understandable to feel hesitant but you shouldn't let past experiences jade your perspective of an entire sex regardless of which it is or which you are. Also I dont think you should base your preference so much on breeding. There is 8 billion people on the planet and plenty that can be adopted plus passing on genes is only one way to pass something down, you can pass down experiences and societal contributions. Not that I am saying you should neglect your desires either just reconsider where they actually are at the root.

> Women tend to engage in more indirect forms of aggression (e.g., spreading rumors) than other types of aggression. In laboratory studies, women are less aggressive than men, but provocation attenuates this difference. In the real world, women are just as likely to aggress against their romantic partner as men are, but men cause more serious physical and psychological harm. A very small minority of women are also sexually violent. Women are susceptible to alcohol-related aggression, but this type of aggression may be limited to women high in trait aggression. Fear of being harmed is a robust inhibitor of direct aggression in women.http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnbeh.2018.00081/full> Cognition and behaviour are also shaped by life experiences and environmental influences, which, depending on the degree of brain’s plasticity, can impact on brain function and structure as well. Parental rearing of girls versus boys may differ, especially across cultures. Traditionally, girls have been more often educated to look after others. Also, mothers tend to engage in more detailed reminiscing about emotional events with their daughters in comparison to their sons, which might facilitate the unfolding of the female capacities for episodic-autobiographical memory as well as for perceiving and getting attuned to the inner world of others. Women are more likely than men to display a self-focused ruminative style (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2000), while men tend to employ more distracting strategies. Women might therefore be more prone to engage in inward directed forms of aggression, in comparison to men who might choose more outward directed ways of aggression.> However, underestimations of the rates of violence and aggression in women in general population might exist. The targets of female violence are often family members and violent behaviours of women may lead to less physical injury in comparison to those of males. This may have as result an underreporting of female violent acts (Odgers, 2008).Furthermore, women may be more inclined than men to resort to verbal aggression as well as covert forms of social aggression, such as gossiping or spreading rumours with the intent to cause harm (Björkqvist, Lagerspetz, & Kaukiainen, 1992).https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187704281200287X No.20223

>>20385> I think girls have low self-esteem more often than guys because people can be really harsh to them about their looks, or go on about "you'll die alone if you don't settle for Whatever Guy"I am not sure this really is true or not, While gender norms do expect less from guys in appearance there is still other kinds of insecurities like value as a person or partner. I am bad at thinking like the average guy im an outlier but I think a lot of guys dont as often express their insecurities in obvious ways because cultural expectations where they cant as openly express their negative emotions. Instead they are more prone to vulnerable narcissism hiding their insecurities with a fake inflated ego to conform to societal expectations. I think a girl will more readily accept a guy for insecurities than another guy would another guy in some cases however they are less likely to see them as potential romantic partner compared to how a guy would see an insecure girl. This is because guys are expected to be the protectors and caretakers of girls. Any failure to conform to strict societal expectations is a failure to prove one's value to that intolerant society. If that makes sense.

Really, all penises are just big clits.I thought they both develop from something ambiguous but it more closely resembles a clitoris so maybe it is a bit semantic.

But in general I'd want to be with a cute guy who has a cute smile that makes me happy (like nile red/blue a lot of girls want him)What do you think someone like me should do where due to being older and not the best health I became less androgynous and more "rugged" looking when I don't like how I look now? What do you think softens up an appearance on a guy most? I feel like I look less approachable now which is hard on me since im very socially awkward and shy. I cant often legitimately smile and to force a smile it winds up looking creepy so that isn't really an option.

>>20385In my opinion, homosexuals have a problem and heterosexuals too.

We have no idea why subjective preferences in aesthetics exist other than a bunch of dogmatically accepted proverbs "to each their own" or volumes of philosophy, or some evolutionary psychologist proposing yet another unproven (and unprovABLE) hypothesis dressed up like "scientific".
A complete answer would require an understanding of what it means for a person to like a thing in the first place which goes into Qualia and the hard problem of consciousness.
I'm sure there's plenty of philosophers out there have given attempts to answer such questions but if you want a complete, logical, and verifiable answer as to what causes differences in subjective preference then you've run out of luck. Try asking again after another thousand years.
