Why do girls hate my armpit hair?

[Anonymous]

I hit puberty pretty early and at 14, I’ve already got super hairy pits. All the lads in my year think it’s super cool and manly but when the girls saw it when I took my top off they were grossed out. Why is this?

Same here, I started puberty at like 7, and I started getting armpit hair at 12. Guys thought I was manly cause I was already really developed. But actually had quite a few girls think it was gross that I'd wear sleeveless shirts or go shirtless with armpit hair and chest hair.

But even though they say its gross, it also made all of them pay more attention to me than to other guys that didn't have it. Plus I ended up dating and smashing some of the same girls that said it was gross, so apparently it wasn't all that gross to them.

That is the point of having body hair, its a signal of sexual maturity, so its a sign that we are essentially open for business. So they may think its gross, but they also realize your more developed than the other guys.

Those girls aren't mature enough to accept the normal male body changes of someone your age.

Girls love to find things to be grossed out by.


Use it to garner attention if you want.


If I was a guy with super long pit hair, I’d chase the ladies around with one arm raised shouting “I thought women loved braiding hair!”

Because armpit hair is very new thing to girls your age
