Armpit

Someone made a comment about my armpit hair today. I was asked, do i shave it off? I answered with a firm negative.

Since then, i've been wondering: i don't believe i know any man who shaves his armpit hair, or any any part of his body for that matter save his face. Why is that? Why do men care less if they've got a forest growing on their chest, underarms or legs?

Why is it that women go through great pains (literally) to be as bodily hairless as possible? Thousands of dollars are spent on "feminine" razor blades (what the hell is the difference anyways?), those self-help hair remover machines which promise silky smooth results, and thousands more on waxing and hair-removing chemical treatments? What truly mystifies me is the lengths some women go to shape the hair on their body (ever heard of bikini waxing?)!!

Not a stray hair in sight

So much effort spent on what is primarily excess protein from the body. All in the name of beauty and smooth, hairless skin. God fobid a hairy armpit and a misplaced hair along those bikini lines.
