So I'm 15. I've had hair on my arms since I can even remember. It's a medium brown shade so not really dark but it's still noticeable. The hair isn't thick, it's actually soft and pretty short. My boyfriend who is about to turn 17 says he hates my arm hair. We got in a small argument about it because he said other girls shave their arms and they don't have arm hair like I do. It honestly made me angry because that was some bull crap. I know there are girls who do remove their arm hair. But at my school nearly all the girls have arm hair... and lot's of girls have it worse than me. I even went out of my own way to examine all my "girlfriends" arms and every single one of them had hair on their arms. It honestly makes me angry how my boyfriend thinks I'm the only girl with arm hair, it's ridiculous. But do guys seriously hate arm hair on girls? I told my boyfriend I respect his body and he can do whatever he wanted with any of the hair on him as long as he felt happy and confident. So he decided to stay all natural everywhere. Which I respect. But he expects me to stay smooth like a baby everywhere except for my eyebrows and head.

Another thing is I've never had a problem with the hair on my arms and nobody has said anything to me about it up until this point with my boyfriend. It's made me extremely self conscious about my arms so i always try to hide them with jackets and stuff. I recently told my mother that I don't like my arm hair so we're looking into options on removing it safely that won't make it grow back stubbly and thick. We found a solution that works but yeah... how do people feel about arm hair on females?
