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

But now in the twilight of my days with my biological juices pretty much dried up, I can appreciate you wonderful ladies in all your infinite complexity. Hairy legs and all.
 

Not all men are about physical appearance. My son's father, who was the most beautiful man I have ever seen, cared far more for the inner qualities of a woman than prettiness. He later married a woman who was quite plain, but enormously charming and witty. She dumped him, but she and I remain good friends to this day.
 
Ahh, to be the dumper rather than the dumpee, that is the quest if it has to be...
 

My mother in law used to say that her husband was really the catch of the town and she was so proud to have landed him. If so, she was not in his league looks-wise at all. But they had a long and happy marriage together. My theory is that when he came back to town from the war, like many other men, he was looking for a wife and wanted certain qualities -- same religion, same cultural background (French), maybe good cook and homemaker, and whatever else was on his list. Certainly she was cute enough too. As well, at that time in that tiny New England post war town, there may have been few and far between young women (and men) to choose from. I think there are so many things at play when pairing up, not just looks and not just personality. Sometimes it seems to be similar to shopping around for a car or a house! LOL ! I have many more examples, but I have to go out now.
 
I STILL think there has to be an initial physical attraction, whether it is looks, or body, or something that will make someone come back and take a chance at getting to know the "lovely person" inside. I believe it is the rare person that is attracted to someone who as ugly as home-made soap... although I suppose there is something to be said about beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
 
I don't know about that. As a 16 year old girl our class was taken to see Shakespeare's Julius Caesar at the cinema, starring Marlon Brando.
I was singularly unimpressed with Brando but came away fascinated by the actor who played Cassius.
I remarked that he was fascinatingly ugly but I loved his voice.
It was the English actor John Gielgud.



Sight in not the only sense that causes us to react to someone.

I think it's the "or something" that doesn't limit it to looks..
 
Getting back to Josiah's original question, I think this is a question basically for men to answer and I hope more of them do. But I'd like to add that I personally shave my legs not only because it's considered attractive, but because it feels good. The feeling of soft breeze, a ripple of warm water or the touch of someone I love on newly shaven legs is so sensual! Oh, excuse me . . . gotta go shave my legs now . . . :tickled_pink:

I agree..


Do you think that this is accepted because prepubescent, and nubile girls are considered more attractive to society.. OR that women are considered more valuable in that stage? Not consciously, but as a societal mores?
 
DW. Gielgud was marvelously brooding in his role as Cassius. I will take brooding over blandly handsome any day! Did not check this sentence with the grammar police. Mea culpa! Pfuilll lol.
 
Some of those handsome 'pretty boys' are just a bore, and can be quite full of themselves. Brooding is definitely very attractive - the hurt look in those sad dark eyes, but be careful, it could also be a ploy that unfortunately works very well to reel us nurturing types in.
 
Some while back in this thread I unwisely used the expression "men are all about physical appearance". The idea I was trying to convey was despite the fact that we belong to the most intellectually advanced specie on Earth with remarkable abilities to deal with abstract concepts, we are none the less still animals with animal instincts and though we usually succeed in controlling these instincts the fact remains that they're always there. Grrrrr!

I resemble that remark. LOL :thumbsup1:


As far as having to shave, I don't really have to except for where QS sort of didn't mention. I may take a shaver to my underarms and legs twice a year to get what little strays show up now and again I do touch up my nap and around my hairline on my face sometimes, that grows rather fast, I might grow sideburns if I don't. Thank goodness no mustache. LOL
