Can guys shave legs or do you think it’s feminine?

Question

pinkcactus484 · Accepted Answer

I think guys should be able to shave their legs even if it might be feminine.

Honestly, I do not care whether another person shaves their body or does not. I am not worried if a guy chooses to shave his body or not. I feel the same way about other women and people who are non-binary. It does not affect me so my judgement is uncalled for and unnecessary. That would be true even if the person who is or is not shaving their body hair is my own child.

The only exception to this rule would be my husband. If I marry a guy (I'm bisexual so it could swing either way), I may be a little taken aback if he decided to shave his body. Even so, I don't think I would mind in the end, at least I hope that I would not mind. He should be able to choose how his body looks, whether I like it or not.

I chose option B because it's people choice and option to think of shaving their legs or not and it is applicable to every gender. I have seen 2-3 guy friends whom are comfortable with waxing.. It's their personal choice to do so! Personally, I love hygiene and there is nothing wrong to accept it.. I will admire those girls on Insta whom bodies are completely free of hairs! Some days I will hairy body but I am completely okay with that! But when I get my waxing done, I will feel like a new person! So, I am happy in both the choices.. I would say start practising self love, keep yourself fit and your body!

well i have hair mostly on my legs and shin and forearms till elbow joint this is like significant hair region and on my body it is well defines less to moderate... i mean at least to me it looks lovely so i am never gonna remove it... it is soft and small to mid sized.
BUT if your hair is like bear... please remove it looks ugly, according to me every situation should be custom judged... if you have hair equal to what i have or less then it is ok.
again i feel it is not only duty of girls to look good even we should take care of hygiene good looks and certain features whatever we can do to make our girl feel loved and attracted. sorry i don't want to lecture you... lol

Definitely · Accepted Answer

Do whatever feels better for you. I personally don't like it because it doesn't bring me benefits, but brings me negatives. If I were choose, I'd either look for a permanent solution or just let it be as long as it's not too long, in which case I'd trim it, but not too much because if it's too short it will be bothersome.

VIVANT · Answer

in my opinion

shwvee legs

It’s hotttt

cleaner

nicer to touch

But he can do as he likes

~~~ women and men both grow hair NATURALLY. it is neither feminine nor masculine to shave nor not shave.

To have Hair is To be human;
The rest is preference.

I raced semi pro triathlon circuit for 15 years as an age grouper and was two points short of being an alternate for the national cycling team, as well as high school swimming and diving teams. If shaving down for competition made me feminine, than I was in pretty good company.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't think there is a problem with it. My boyfriend prefers to have his legs shaved, and I let him. It's his body, why should I have a say in what he does. I'm not his mother. I don't even think it's feminine because I know a lot of girls that don't shave at all!

Walrus_au · Answer

your question doesn't have a yes/no answer

When I was in competitive weightlifting, I would shave the front of my thighs, it saved me the painful loss of a great deal of skin.

Many competitive swimmers shave entirely, in an attempt to reduce drag.

So it is clearly possible, guys have the capacity to shave their legs should they want to.

The idea that this is 'feminine' and thus what, emasculates the man? is just plain sexist macho shit.

Anonymous · Answer

It's none of my business, really. IF I even noticed... I'd probably just assume the dude does swimming or running or something... I had a long period of time where I ended up swimming a lot, so I shaved a lot more to cut down and be faster, especially in the water. Since then, I've let it kind of grow out and not taken care of a lot of it.

Anonymous · Answer

if he's gay or a swimmer it's fine I guess.. but if he's a non swimmer and straight, he looks gay and I am automatically not attracted to that guy. same goes for armpits.
my ex used to shave them during summer time, that was so gay and now that it's over he tells me that maybe he likes guys lol these are signs that they don't even know are there but I can see them no matter how much they deny it, it's a gay thing to do. smh.

Men trying to copy women now great what next they want a vagina. All that been said shave your back hair though. If you are too hairy you can trim but stop making your self look like a hairless like a vagina. Men with chest hair is sexy asf all though if your personality is submissive shave it all off so it matches your personality

CubsterShura · Answer

If my man did that I'd personally not care. I don't think it's feminine. I'm a girl and keep my leg hair, who cares 🤷🏽‍♀️

Starlight_Whimsy · Answer

I voted yes can anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with their own bodies. Shaved legs isn’t a gendered thing. PERSONALLY though I like my guys hairy 🤷🏻‍♀️

BeeOrSomething · Answer

Men can do what they want with their body hair, as long as they are comfortable

PettyBoop · Answer

Of course they can. I don't think it's feminine but then again I don't really assign gender to arbitrary things like what someone does with their body hair. It's literally just hair? 🙃

scarlett774 · Answer

I think we should normalize guys shaving their legs because their literally isn’t anything wrong with it. If guys shaved their legs I wouldn’t see it as “feminine”. They can shave if they want to.

Soleful-b3ing · Answer

Sure, it’s your body, you can do what you want with it. Some girls won’t mind, others may think it’s feminine. Everyone has their own preferences and there will always be someone who likes or dislikes. Just be yourself and the right girl for you won’t mind

Kaneki05 · Answer

Shaving hair don't matter unless if your getting with someone who wants a monkey. don't ask me why they find that attractive but they do. But you can find many women who wouldn't really care about it been shaved.

Hermes-Paris · Answer

I've seen a number of guys in south america who shave. They are generally buff and no one would think they were feminine. It would never have looked good on me. If I did I'm sure even my dog would not come near me.

jns004m · Answer

It is definitely not feminine. This is 2020, do we even classify anything as feminine or masculine anymore. My personal opinion is that it all depends on the person. It is your body, do as you feel is best for you.

SphynxUK · Answer

They can shave. It’s fine.  I see a lot of men with hairless legs. My partner shaved everything ’except’ his legs!

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

What a confusing poll. 🤣 Guys can shave legs and not be feminine, for sure. So "yes", followed by "no".

Agirlasking · Answer

I don't think we take much notice of this tbh. I personally prefer shaved legs and chest, but it won't be an issue if it was hairy either..

Pubkish4u · Answer

My opinion is I love the feminine side of life and all who follow their inner girl quest such as I do, so many women have complimented on my legs how much they look like a woman's nicely cared for legs staying feminine looking all the time, I like that having legs that resemble feminity and beauty.

Dali-chan · Answer

Please! Fucking please do it! I hate body hair! Ugh! It makes a man look like a bear! It women wax their legs, then men should do that as well, so that both will be attracted to each other.

Lime_La_Croix · Answer

It honestly depends on the situation. In culture its seen as "manly" to have hairy legs, but there are many who do shave their legs and no one comments on them. Personally, if you are trying to highlight your legs (like girls do with heels with short/medium dresses or shorts) then that can be seen as feminine. Many male athletes shave their legs to give them an edge... not sure how well that works but its a thing. To directly answer your question, it is not strictly feminine.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I don't think it's necessarily feminine, at least if he works out. Removing hair can show more muscle definition and I'm pretty sure muscles are more on the masculine side.

NikolaiIvanov · Answer

I think it's fine to shave your leg hair. I have really weird blonde hair and it looks quite bad so I have to shave it and the main thing is if you're comfortable with it you can rock it.

Anti-Matter · Answer

It’s actually required in a few sports. Basketball, bodybuilding and swimming  are amongst some of the pioneering sports that actually promoted men shaving body hair.

dome9944 · Answer

Well, we live in modern society right? Tbh, I personally wouldn't save my legs, because I like them the way they are, but if a guy feels like it, why shouldn't he? It's his body, his life, so anyone else shouldn't give a goddamm thing about his legs

lollol63 · Answer

I trim because it is much less of a hassle than shaving. Trim my leg hair once every two months or so.

ProgressivePernilla · Answer

I honestly don't care whether their legs are shaved or not. Freshly shaved legs feel so good inside long pants that I can understand why guys want to do it.

sunssshine · Answer

shaving is a genderless action. if a man wants to shave, they can! if a woman doesn't want to, they also can do what they want! its the owner of the body's decision, not society's.
