Do Females like guys to shave their legs

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't know if she is being completely honest with you, because she loves my shaved legs.

Seriously, there are girls who won't date you if you have shaved legs. There are girls who will date you because you have shaved legs. Almost all girls fall somewhere in between those two extremes.

I request this thread be moved to the women's only forum, for an unbiased poll response. Then move it back, after the results are in. Really, its the only way to know.

Girls definitely don't like guys that feel the need to discuss leg shaving on the internet.

Is the OP question ambiguous? "Do Females like guys to shave their legs"

I think the question is explicitly asking if women like men who shave womens' legs. I think we can all agree on the intent of the question.

Discuss?

Oh yeah.....................it's all fun and games until I am in the buff and it looks like I am wearing shorts made of fur.

Us hairy guys gotta do a subtle taper job if we shave.

If you are doing it right there will be a greater chance that they will like it.

My wife's only complaint is that my legs are usually smoother than hers.

I think I got one or two comments from my wife a few years ago, when I first started shaving. She didn't care then and doesn't care now.

She doesnt mind as long as I keep my legs smooth. If I shave after getting lazy for a week she gets pissy because she wants me to grow out the hair

Dude, if you're riding harder and she doesn't realize it or wants you to stop, you're doing something wrong. No internet forum can help you with that. Sorry...
