People should talk stuff like this over.

I feel your comment that 'I never ran into a girl that has male-like-hairy arms' such that you don't know why girls would have to shave their arms, shows what is behind much of women's shaving: women feel they are ugly if they have hair that 'looks like a man's'...and they are MADE to feel ugly if they do.
And why? After all, if women only 'have' to shave if they have 'male-like-hairy' bodies, then the fact that most women dipilate huge areas of their bodies suggests women have body hair that is very similar to men's. If their hair didn't look like men's, then they wouldn't feel they 'needed' to shave, right?

I don't know. I mean, if a women has hair like a man on her arms this may be natural, but it's not normal. If you're a bald headed woman, you often also wear a wig because it's just too far from the 'ordinary'.
I would have problems thinking of a bald woman as 'sexy'. This may be sick, but it's not like I can help it.
No saint am I, but when I compare myself to most guys nowadays I think I'm not asking an awful lot of 'my' women
, but I still have my preferences. You could call this wrong, but as I said; It's not like I can convince myself to fall for a girl who has a lot of body hair. It's just impossible for me to do so.
Eitherway, what I was trying to say; I don't think a woman should reflect herself to the (photoshop) ideals that are to be found in commercials and so on, but I think the amount of body hair you have has a lot to do with the culture you live in, the country you come from. And if you differ from the 'average' too much, I think it's a good idea to adapt. Natural my ass, you're only making life harder on yourself if you don't. I should know
