For whatever it’s worth, your comment still challenges me. I know it’s a “me” problem to prefer shaven, but…I struggle with it. So, at the very least, please know that you thoroughly confronted me with your womanhood.
Well I’m 40. I can say ,in general, i seem to be becoming less hairy as I get older.
Hair only grows on front calf parts of my legs now. None on my toes like it used to. I asked around And my lady friends my age and older say they have experienced that too.
My guy friends say they are pretty sure they are getting hairier. Apparently ear hair is a thing they struggle with now.
I’m a 35yo dude and getting hairier and hairier to a point where I feel like my whole face will be covered in beard hair in a decade, it’s ridiculous. Nose and ear hair too, I try to keep up but I keep getting hairs in my ears which itches and tickles and hairs up my nose which is the same. Also very hairy toes, and fingers and top of my feet are getting there, of course armpits, arms and legs are already a lot.
I’d so much rather not have any of this even though I like my beard.
I was the least hairy (other than head) dude I knew until my mid 20s, still have thicker head hair than almost everyone I’ve known and met, though it’s already going grey at an increasing speed but still just as thick.
Beard is odd too as I have every color, texture and amount of curliness that can be. White, blonde, both pale and darker ginger, brown, black, smooth, sandpaper like, straight, wavy, curly, jagged etc.
I stopped shaving mine years ago because it seemed like I was developing an intolerance to every razor blade.
I told people it was cause I am a feminist.
I also was sorely disappointed in what grew in.
My whole life I thought if I let it go natural I’d have this majestic thick black beard under there. Something to be proud of, you know?
However after it grew in, it’s a medium brown. And the hair is actually kind of fine and fluffy. And not dense. And
I guess this is the feeling men have when they try to grow a beard and find out they are one of the ones who can’t do a decent job of it.
I wanted something to make people uncomfortable. To challenge their preconceived notions of womanhood.
Instead it just looks like I have a little brown, thin, soul patch under there.
Very sad.
Not even worth going sleeveless for.
As someone else who doesn’t shave the armpit, my experience is similar. Less of a soul patch and more of a threadbare patch of dying grass though.

That’s all I wanted to do. Thank you
😭😭😭 yes
Feeling personally attacked?
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Go gurl!
FWIW I’m amab and I have a similar soul patch of armpit hair, so you’re at least at parity with a dude. Just the way it be sometimes 😭
I also can’t grow facial hair, but that’s a separate question
Same reason most men shave haha
I wonder if it gets thicker as you get older, the way beards do? Beard hair doesn’t just start up, it gets thicker over time.
Armpit hair grows slower, thinner and more grey with age. Both genders.
Perhaps we associate bushy armpits with older people because they just don’t care to remove it for longer periods of time

Front calves are shins but I like it.
