very believeable

Hmmm. This should shave off a few minutes of your day. πŸ˜€

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

But only if you're a barberian.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, at that point you might as well wear normal jeans.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Yeah I don’t understand shabby fashion at all. I mean if I’m wearing clothing that’s full of holes it’s because I’m too cheap and lazy to buy new clothes.

[–] Honytawk 2 points 12 hours ago

You're a trendsetter!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I ride electric boards. My pants are full of holes, not because I'm cheap or lazy, but because my pants don't last long πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

That’s legit though. I’m talking about the people who buy jeans that are pre-worn, with big holes and cuts in them from the store!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

That is to make sure that next time you fall on tarmac, you properly scrape your knees instead of just having it rubbing with rough cloth.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I never grew out of the grunge style. I love holes in the knees of my jeans. I just don't buy them that way. The holes need to be earned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Never worn holes through the knees of any pants. Mine usually tear all around the pockets, around the beltloops and such. Even at the bottom of the pockets where the bottom of my phone would rub against the inside of the cloth. That said... Unless you are falling down how are you wearing holes in the places shown in the picture?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Working on my hands and knees on concrete, gravel, or dirt. Or just walking around with shit-quality pants. As a kid? Eating shit on my skateboard or rollerblades.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Here I thought someone was just kicking you in the shins a lot, haha.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's why Kurt Cobain and other punk/grunge musicians wore this kind of clothes. Then he became one of the biggest rockstar ever, which caused him to blow his head off and the trendy people to start dressing like him.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Or, hear me out, you could just not bother at all. It works for (most) men after all ;)

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm 52 and can't be bothered with the waste of time. I will occasionally shave because it does feel nice for a bit afterwards. Honestly, same goes with my pits. In all fairness though, I'm fair skinned with lighter colored body hair that isn't all that thick. EXCEPT for the motherfucking chin hairs. Those damn things I curse at each and every one that I rip from my face.

That said, people should do whatever the fuck they feel comfortable with in regards to their own body hair.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you're interested in dealing with them once and for all, there are treatments (I think they use lasers) that will kill the hair follicles and prevent them from growing hair anymore.

My mom had it done on her legs and she hasn't had to shave since, not sure how expensive it is but it might be worth looking.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

For the person you're replying to, lighter hair (such as blonde, gray, or some form of dirty blonde) generally doesn't work with laser. To deal with those hairs, the option is electrolysis which is slow, painful, and more expensive than laser especially for large areas but also a very high hair kill rate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

A friend of mine lived with an electrolysis tech for a while, and she got basically all her legs done for free over the course of multiple years. I experienced it a few times β€” I imagine the pain is similar to how a tattoo would hurt.

For me, the cost was by far, the most expensive part. Sucks to be ginger

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I always forget that different hair types (not really sure about the terminology) have completely different needs, thanks for the information.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Laser can work if your hair is dark enough, otherwise you'd need electrolysis. Depending on the needed method and amount of hair prices range from a few hundred to several thousand, possibly over many sessions

It may surprise you but many women actually like having smooth shaved legs. Just like some men like to be clean cut. It's weird that leg shaving is such an issue cause I never saw it as being about men, it's just a personal preference women have

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I bet, cleanly shaven feels nice but I can imagine stubble to be exceptionally bad on legs. And most men would probably need to shave far more often to avoid it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

I'm a guy and my leg hair drives me crazy sometimes. I sometimes get fixated on the feeling of the blanket rubbing on it and it drives me crazy. It also gets randomly sensitive to pull on or touch, I dunno if that happens to anyone else. And when it's dry it makes my legs itch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

I don't find it nearly as bad as facial hair stubble (based on experiences with partners). You are right though in that the niceness of shaved legs disappears pretty quickly. I tend to only indulge when I change my bedsheets because shaved legs against fresh sheets is amazing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Laser hair removal is not expensive and lasts for years. But only works if your body hair is dark and your skin is light colored

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.

Does feel nice when smooth though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Used to like to trim a lot more places when I was younger. Stubble can be annoying, but damnit did I learn it wasn't worth the hassle of trimming your perenium. Fucking sharp ass hairs stabbing you all day.

I can't wear body warmers continuously for a long time due to static electricity with hair.
So if I could make the body hair just stop coming out once and for all, I would. Except that none of the available solutions are really permanent, except for, maybe burning the skin off, which would create other major inconveniences.

Most men like women with hairy legs?

Is arm hair not really a thing for her?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A lot of people's arm hair is much finer, and lighter in color, than their other body hair. There are a lot of people out there that can get away without shaving arms, and maintain that hairless look, and you wouldn't really notice unless you touched them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My arm hair is like a fish.

Dark on top, pale underneath, and while not as dense as my leg hair it is still very apparent.

I will admit to not noticing it as often in others, but I also don't have a visual memory.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

Fish have hair? Or your arms have scales? Or wait, you meant your arms are like Alligators!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

Gotta keep the peach fuzz!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Holy moly that would save so much time. I already kind of cheat and mostly do my thighs now that it is winter, since I don't really feel my shin hair normally.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

That’s funny; my thigh hair is so thin I don’t even bother, even in the summer. Meanwhile my calf hair is darker and more obvious so that’s what I shave.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I only shave my legs when pulling up my ski socks (knee-high, tight enough to not fall down, but I’ve never been skiing) causes pain from pulled hairs. And sometimes when I go to a pool. So like maybe 5-8 times a year.

I don’t wear shorts or skirts above the ankle, so I really don’t care most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ouch, felt that but never considered shaving πŸ˜ƒ

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Give it a try. So much nicer.
