    Interesting, and I’m frankly surprised by it.

    Still, there are women who don’t prefer it, which makes the point.

    Men and women have preferences, we can choose to accommodate that as we (as individuals) wish.

    No one holds a gun to anyone’s head and says “shave or else”.

    Fuck, what man is going to know it a woman shaves her legs unless he’s intimate with her anyway?

      Do you live in Saudi Arabia or are you legally blind? Shorts exist.

        Unless the hairs are really thick and dark, outside of the average, those aren’t that noticable or at least it requires active focusing to look for those.

        Basically randomly walking on the street or just doing basic daily tasks and the difference is unnoticeable.

          Average for where? I never knew any girls in middle/high school that felt they could ‘get away’ without shaving their legs for more than a couple of days unless they were blonde. Even before I went on testosterone you could probably tell if I’d shaved from 20 yards.

            Location specific average, of course that changes based on location. Not that it’s bad, just that it’s noticable because it stands out from others. Like if everyone were to wear black clothes and one person wears red, they would stand out. But different shades of dark grey or even just darker colors, would be unnoticeable difference.

            Even before I went on testosterone you could probably tell if I’d shaved from 20 yards.

            But that was the point, unless actually focusing and looking for it. It’s completely unnoticeable from that far away. Unless far away from the average, maybe up to the level of average guy, though even that would require actual focusing on the person and then specifically their legs.

            So the other person had a point. It becomes noticable only when fully focusing on the other person and specifically their body at which point it has to be a rather intimate situation.

            Why else would you give that much specific attention to other person?
