I'm a 19 girl and I've inherited light skin from my Irish father and dark hair from my Italian mother..a very bad combination. I don't mind shaving typical areas like underarms, legs, pubic, etc..but I have short yet dark hair on my face, belly, and butt :( I notice the more I shave, the darker and thicker it grows, so I'd rather stay away from shaving those areas.
I'm an attractive, fit, healthy girl otherwise with a boyfriend of 2 years..he says he doesn't mind what I shave and what I don't, but then again he isn't the type to tell me straight up "yeah it's pretty unattractive..better shave it". Ugh I just hate it so much and I wonder if he really notices (cause he's a stomach and butt kinda guy haha so I try to keep those perfect for him!).
It's not a jungle out there haha but it is noticeable and it makes me feel extremely unfeminine, especially my stomach and butt. Guys have their share of body hair..so do you care that girls have a little fuzz here and there too?
That is not an odd combination, diversity makes use stronger. Now here is the sad truth, as a woman you are held to a standard of beauty that is simple not fair in our society. Like it or not the reality is that some guys will not like the hair and you will just have to accept that. But you are not doom to a life of loneliness, you have a good guy that looks past it and see you. Odds are that the hair is more of an issue for you than it will be for anyone else. I think that we all, to some degree, have a distorted view of ourselves. I hate to have my picture taken because I do not like the way I look in photographs, but everyone tells me I look fine. Also think about how most people hate to hear there own voice on a recording. The key to dealing with this is to not make it an issue. Most guys come across as being shallow and only interest in a women's looks; guy are generally visual creatures. But a woman that is confident with herself and her body will ALWAYS be attractive no matter what physical imperfect she thinks she has. I see nothing wrong with shaving if that make you feel comfortable. Even look into permanent hair remove down the road if it really bothers you, just make sure your head is in order first. Good luck
I'm a stomach and butt kinda guy too lol. That's why I think you should chill about the hair. I think this is something girls worry about more than guys and may be even more important as a status thing amongst the females than for attracting men. I mean if a man doesn't want a real body with real hair than he's just a sissy. Personality is more important than looks that's my little disclaimer but when it comes to purely looks guys look at the hair on your head some like it long short curly straight. Guys look at your eyes and your smile or lack therof Guys look at t*ts duh right some like big small medium and guys look at your butt some like big small tight cushy whatever. Those are the things that get us going some little hairs are neither here nor there. Guys are also pretty versatile. Even if a guy has a preference his preference may change when he meets somebody special. Where do you think men or women for that matter get preferences someone they saw and liked. If I were you I might try to shave your face if that's doable but don't worry about the rest a real mans not gonna care, if your gonna try to shave it all off your doing it for you and you really don't have to. To be honest I find body hair on a woman attractive. You ever seen pictures of Frida Kahlo from Mexico? She was considered one of the sexiest women in the world. She painted herself nude and included the mini mustache that she knew she couldn't hide in real life look her up on google images if you've never seen her self portrait. I have the same issue with hair I am part Gypsy so I have light brown skin and black hair. Personally I think arm hair is kinda sexy and I used to have a crush on a girl who didn't shave her lege so that's just me
No. As long as your not actively supporting a mustache or beard guys don't care ;).
Having said that though, we do appreciate girls skin and we notice things (can be distracted by little things). However, as guys get to know the girl for her, rather than just her looks, this all goes away and we stop seeing the girl for how she looked but always see the girl we feel for.
Yes, quite right, avoid shaving at all costs. Damaged hair (by cutting with a razor) tends to grow back thicker in an attempt to be stronger (and not get cut) so shaving is not a girls friend. Its fine for a guy because stubble (which is inevitably the end result of ongoing shaving) is manly.
If your really worried, you can bleach (with advice from the chemist / beautician) the hair so its not noticeable.
In my experience, most girls over think this. Its much better to concentrate on how your acting with your guy because in the long run its more likely to be the issue that might split you up.
My ex girlfriend was very conscious about hair leg hair but that was never an issue for me. Though, I did appreciate her waxing them because smooth legs are very nice. It was never important though, more like a nice change.
Hair is many times thought of as male attribute but the truth is we, females, are born with body hair. I believe that someone who really loves you won't care about a little fuzz here and there. you may want to try bleaching or waxing if you feel like you should get rid of it.

This is totally normal. The only guys who care are the ones who don't have a lot of experience with women and have unrealistic expectations from magazines and tv.
Your hair does not actually grow back thicker after shaving, it just looks that way. Just like cut grass, when shaved hairs grow back, they seem thicker because all the hair grows at exactly the same rate and has sharp edges. When hair grows naturally, it has rounded ends grows at different rates and these hairs look less thick.
If you do shave places like your belly and your face, you will have stubble and your guy will find this grosser than if you didn't shave.
My sister has this problem. But she only had a few dark patches on her arms. She just dyed those patches. I don't know if you can dye your whole arm or how that would work.
On your face, you can always wax that. As for your butt, I wouldn't worry too much since that's a spot only one person sees :)
