I’m only now working on not catering to a man’s every need/want. I used to feel bad saying no to something as dumb as how long my hair (on my scalp) should be, or hiding my surgery scars/inquiring about somehow fading them or making them go away. Actually I do still feel bad, but guys like that are not the type of…

I was on a quest to lose my virginity before my birthday at one point so some of those guys know about my hair situation. The majority of them are on a whole different level. For example, we’ll be in the middle of conversation about books or whatever and they’ll just bring it up out of nowhere. It’s almost as if they…

I’m just going to start wth the first thing that completely confused me in that wishlist.

I’m surprised they looked okay on me, even at my heaviest.

I’ve used it before when guys were trying to change the status of my sexual activity (activity level: less than zero). It’s the one thing that stops them in their tracks.

I might spring for a bikini wax at a certain waxing salon in the town I’m moving to, just because if you can prove you’re a resident, the first bikini wax is absolutely free. However, if it hurt more than eyebrow waxing, there’s no way I’m doing it.

Exactly. I don’t want to change god’s masterpiece (aka, my body). I have to assume there’s a survival of the fittest when it comes to body hair because somehow that hair survived millions upon millions of years of primate evolution.

It has to be a regional thing because most of the women I know don’t shave their legs, armpits, or bikini area, especially when it’s fall or winter. For some reason, though, guys practically demand that I shave if they’re going downtown. The guys up here who demand I get rid of that hair are usually air force or army…

I’ve learned the hard way that if I’m wearing a swimsuit, I absolutely need to manage the little bit of hair that isn’t covered. A group of friends had a party at a lake and I was sitting criss-cross on the sand, and sadly the guy I liked noticed it. Very awkward.

That’s the reason I haven’t shaved and rarely trim. I’m single, I’m not into friends with benefits or one night stands. The only people who see that region are friends I change clothes in front of, and the doctors who have examined me. It makes me feel embarrassed a little bit because I’m 23 and it’s been pounded in…

I keep hearing that it’s itchy when it starts growing back, but I’ve never experienced that. It’s funny, quite a few of the girls I’m friends with don’t shave because they’re celibate or abstaining until marriage or whatever, and they use the same excuse to turn a guy off when he’s being persistent about having sex.

That’s good! Now I don’t have to feel bad when my gyn has to examine me. I’m always so embarrassed when I go to my appointments and I’ve gone a few weeks without trimming. I actually apologize for the hair situation, even though they all say the same thing about being an Alaskan woman and how if it’s not summer, the…

If a guy tells me I absolutely have to shave, it’s a deal breaker. If I’m not offended by their hair, they really shouldn’t care about the status of mine.

How do guys even know if their hair is smelly? I’ve honestly never smelled mine. Maybe it’s the body wash geared towards women because that flowery or citrus smell is so strong that it just kills any smell that may come along. I’m just going to assume that’s a man problem.

Who are these men? Are they hiding from me? Why haven’t we made eye contact in a coffee shop? The kind of eye contact that says “I know you like pubes/hey I hate shaving down there”

I had the exact opposite thing happen. My hair was gloriously thick and shiny, but when I lost 80 pounds my hair got noticeably thinner and fell out. I lost three inches of curly hair, I don’t know if there’s a difference of length loss between straight and curly, but it was always a little bit sad when I had clumps…

Not so much of a creeper, but you have a preference that is seriously not heard of a lot.

Tell me the secrets of the good health that shows through pubes? I need an excuse to refuse to wax that mess off.

I have a feeling you’re one of the very, very few men who don’t care about a woman’s pubic hair, while you have pubic hair that you don’t get rid of. I’ve been told multiple times that unless I shaved it all off, they wouldn’t do certain things. The problem (other than the fact that I barely knew these guys and the…

That makes me feel a little better, knowing that they are trained. My friends from Europe and the rest of the states are relatively smart but they legitimately think that’s exactly what all of Alaska is like.
