Would men eventually find women attractive if they didn't shave their legs?

It is interesting that women have to shave their legs and armpits to be considered attractive. Even the feminists balk at not performing these beauty rites. But if all women stopped shaving men would have to seek them out any how no matter how long it would take to finally find hairy women attractive again as they did in the beginning...
 

Might take some getting used to



Fashions might have to change.

Yes, it would, and it is interesting that women went along with what was determined for them to be attractive...
 

Some European women don't shave at all. If you've never shaved the leg hair is not nearly as thick, or so I've heard.
 
I have to admit that I find hairy legs and hairy pits on women unattractive.. and I imagine so do most men.... However, I am a product of societal conditioning. Women have always been made to strive to remain prepubescent. Adult women HAVE hair... other than on their heads... but hairless, legs, pits and sometimes pubes for some reason are seen as normal.. It's really not.
 
I'm sure there are cultures in which women do not shave and their men folk accept them with equal ardor.

I imagine that the practice of women shaving in various places originates with the fact that biologically women have little or no facial hair, but when they do have some facial hair they remove it. This later extended to other parts of the body.

It's interesting that most large porn sites offer sections devoted to hairy women presumably for men who find hairy women sexy.
 
Haven't men always found women attractive, well before shaving came into vogue, or did women always shave? And what's a bit of hair compared to some people who we might consider rather homely, yet manage to find mates and love? Maybe physical appearance has less to do with it than we think.

I agree with all but your final speculation, Cookie, I know it doesn't sound politically correct and men may pretend to be interested in all that a woman brings to the table, but deep down in their biology men are all about physical appearance.
 
Maybe the jerks are like that...... but how would that account for all the gorgeous single people and the happily married well below average couples? I often see couples where the man is good looking and the woman is not, and vice versa.
 
True, but men will many times marry a less attractive woman who they think will make a good wife and mother...
 
I agree, it's the very first initial first glance that makes the rest more likely. If someone is not in the least attractive to another, they may never get a chance.

Interesting aspect to it. When I first saw my present husband, he was not the least be physically appealing to me.. looks wise. He wasn't someone I would have looked twice at in the past.. However, because of life circumstances.. (being widowed just 6 months prior) I was not looking for romance.. I was looking for a friend. AND since he had been widowed just 6 days prior to me, we were in the exact same place emotionally. So we became each other's sounding boards and confidants.. I had ZERO plans of him becoming anything more.. However, as time went on I found that I missed him when he wasn't around, and now we have been married almost 12 years.

My point in this little story is that if it weren't for the extenuating circumstances of being in able to get to know the PERSON inside.. and not just the outside veneer, we probably would not be together now. So yes.. I think looks are a big factor in the decisions people make... and perhaps this is the reason so many marriages don't make it.
 
Sometimes they marry a plain girl, because they might feel secure that someone won't steal her from them (vice versa too).

Or maybe, just maybe, it's beyond that..... maybe it's love or gasp.... chemistry!
