And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

would you go on a first date in a short skirt and no stockings without shaving your legs

No.

if you were the sort of woman who would use not shaving your legs as an excuse to not have sex?

I know there are men who are turned off by leg hair, and I can imagine a woman using that to avoid sex, but I can't imagine saying, "I can't have sex tonight because my legs are hairy." Humans are weird.

I was laughing at the idea of Rizzoli being butch. And yeah, I can't see R/I either, despite how often they fall asleep in the same bed.

As a man unshaven legs would never deter me from having sex with a woman if circumstance were otherwise right. I suspect that on this I speak for most men sexually interested in women (which come to think of it is an important part of circumstances being right).

Huh. Did not know this. Is that common?

There seems to be a bit of a generational divide on body hair. Youngsters seem to trend to the, "Yuck! Grody!" side.

Back in the 70s, male chest hair was considered very sexy, and lots of women stopped shaving their pits.

Nowadays, depilatory is seen as regular grooming with a preference for landing strips and brazilians as well. Plus lots of guys wax their chests.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As a preference/beauty standard, sure. But to the point where "she hadn't shaved her legs in a month!" is a dealbreaker?

That's why I asked who the excuse was for. Because it sounds like one of those lame "I have to wash my hair" excuses for people that can't seem to figure out how to say "not interested."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think it's supposed to be like wearing underwear you wouldn't want anyone to see, a mental deterrent for the woman. Which would only work if she knew her legs were unshaven but it wasn't obvious to her date. So the short skirt no hose thing is confounding.

It's all highly theoretical to me, though.

Maybe "legs" was a euphemism for pubic hair?

Male chest hair is totally sexy and so are full beards. Goatees will do.

That's crazy. So there's a generation growing up that doesn't know what the natural look actually looks like?!

“Not dead yet!”

That's crazy. So there's a generation growing up that doesn't know what the natural look actually looks like?!

Yep. One of the Kardashians just did some interview where she talked about how since she's Armenian, she's naturally rather hirsute, so she's all about the laser hair removal. She claims not to have any hair body below her neck which just squicks me out monumentally. Who wants to go through life looking like a prepubescent girl?

And I LIKE hair on men.
