Call me old fashioned - my girlfriend too - but guys should have armpit hair, women should not.
In fact, I find armpit hair on women to be wildly unattractive. Not sure why, but I have a viscerally negative reaction to it. Shave pubes I don't care for but can live with. (Though it makes me feel like a child molester.)
Unshaved armpits on a woman, though, drops my libido to nothing. It is a massive turn-off.
As to guys, neither my girlfriend nor I gets this shaving mania. In fact, thinking it was the fashion, one time, to surprise her, I shaved everything. Pubes, armpits, chest, legs.
She was surprised all right. She hated it. She said it made her feel like she was a child molester. She said she wants a man who looks like a man and not a boy who has yet to experience puberty.
Works for me, too. First, because all that shaving was a lot of work. In fact, I don't get it, beards seem to be "in" right now, presumably because guys can't be bothered to shave. Yet they have the time to shave everything else? Go figure.
That said, I shave my beard in the spring and summer month, but otherwise everything is natural. (I have a beard in the fall and winter only because I loathe cold weather and a beard just makes me feel a bit warmer.)
Besides, evolution gave us body hair for a reason. It is a signal to the female that we are sexually mature and can produce sperm to make babies. Also, it traps pheromones that our bodies produce that make us more sexually attractive. So when you shave your body hair, you are effectively sending your sex appeal into space.
Not gonna do that. Besides, my girlfriend, when she is feeling cutesy, likes to call me "her furry little bear." So - - - "furry little bear" I am, "furry little bear" I intend to remain. The only fur on me to go will be the beard in late March - and by that point the girlfriend and our children are ready to see it go.
It depends on what you mean by "fine with seeing"...
Do I think it should be legal? Yes. Any amount of armpit hair should be legal to both have and display in public.
Would I personally confront someone with "too much" armpit hair in public? No, no matter how much they have.
In my personal opinion, what amount of armpit hair do I find "gross"? Anything more than a close shave.
How much armpit hair would I personally tolerate on a romantic partner? Clean shaven only.
I personally like my armpits to be clean-shaven at all times. But that is a personal preference so I don't expect everyone to adhere to that.
In terms of women, I think shaving armpits should be like men's beards - optional, with most probably opting for a clean shave but growing it isn't frowned upon.
In terms of men, I wouldn't want them to shave as I like a hairy man but I don't really care for seeing anyone's armpits regardless. I barely even see my boyfriends.
I don’t care. If it’s not me, It’s not my problem. I definitely keep my armpit hair maintained but there are a lot of girls who don’t care. Guys are fine with armpit hair cause it’s “normal” for them to have it. For women/girls though, we have to wax/shave and keep our hair/pubic hair to a minimum, simply because it’s not very “lady” like to have outrageous clumps or patches of hair on our bodies. It’s stupid.

If it was for me (male) or females, not because of beauty standards or whatever but shaving is part of keeping your hygiene good, and to get rid from getting smelly since armpits is the fastest place to develops bacteria (bad smell) on the skin, and hair helps get humidity more by warmth... so less hair means less bacteria thus less smell going for good hygiene!
Its funny to see how 66% of people who say they want shaven armpits are women, and then they claim that society forces them have these unattainable standards.
Ironic.
On other girls, I don't mind seeing A or B. I always fully shave my armpits. I hate feeling hair down there and I sweat like crazy so hair is a no no.
For men, I prefer the last option. I think men look better with hair. Looks more manly in my opinion.
in all honesty, o would love to not have to shake my pits. but I ONE TIME... just one time forgot to shave them and I wore a sleeveless shirt. and I lifted up my arm, a guy saw it and made the comment like " wow your a furry chinchilla aren't you" and I was so embarrassed. i know he was a douche, but I find if I don't shave them I get pointed by others and then embarrased.
My girlfriend's armpit hair has never been longer than a few mm/not even a quarter inch. I don't mind it that she shaves, but I would like it if she would grow it out. She doesn't have that much anyway, so it probably won't become a huge bush. But if she prefers to shave it's fine for me as well.
Even these are not too much for me.
u All of my life, women in my culture have shaved their armpits. It is difficult for me to look at a woman with hairy armpits and think of her as feminine.
I don't have an armpit fetish (and come to think of it I've never met nor heard of anyone who did, and I've known some sexually bizzare people). So I honestly couldn't care less about a woman's armpit hair, as long as it wasn't some feminazi fake-ideology thing (like being an attention whore and delinerately flaunting her armpit hair as if it made her special in any way).
In the year 1668 this chicks armpits must have been something special.
On a girl, stubble at most. On a guy, I'm fine with a bush. So long as they don't smell bad, and maintain good hygiene.
Idc about men but I don’t like to see women with more than some stubble.
If we’re talking women clean or tiny stubble, if we’re talking men I don’t care hair doesn’t bother me on men.
The more I think about it the more I realize it doesn't matter. As long as she keeps it clean and it doesn't stink, I don't think I care.
I dont care about seeing armpit hair on guys
But I dont like seeing women with armpit hair at all
I never notice it.
Whatever floats your boat. A forest of armpit hair might be a tad much, and if you swing from trees and eat bananas there's no need to shave your armpits until you've evolved to a respectable golf handicap.
How much have to or choose to keep, I don't care either way. Just don't smell bad please!
I could care less how other people keep their armpit hair
My opinions for males it doesn't matter for female they should only have hair in two places in both cases it should be well kept at all times
Let us fucking grow our bodyhair without getting hate for doing nothing. I only would shave for myself and for others and except the same from men. Men/women should shave when they want and not for others
With me I actually like armpit hair on men. It appears very masculine. 😊
