I hope this is okay, but I felt this would be a good idea. I know it's helped me to see pics of vids or hirsute women, and so I thought that may/hopefully the same could be said for some of you. For anyone who feels comfortable, please post your hairy pictures. Remember the purpose of this thread is to comfort and give courage to each other. I'll go first.

As you can see I've got it everywhere. I've come to terms with it, more or less. It is my wish that other people would

I think you're absolutely right. I've been very much happier since I just accepted that I have what's more or less male-type hair growth.
And if it doesn't spoil the relationship between dh and I that I shave my face each morning just like he does and let the rest of my body hair grow just like he does, why should I let it bother me?

That's a good trade off. Accept I always seem to meet these completely hairless men hahah. Oh well.
I commend your courage to post those pictures and am very grateful at the sametime. Let me explain. I thought that I was the only women that had a severe problem with hirutism. When I saw your pictures it was like I was looking in the mirror and it brought tears to my eyes. I now know that I am not alone. I feel like I have found someone that can truely understand what I'm feeling instead of friends and family just telling me that it's all in my head. Women on here have talked about hair issuses but to actually see to what extent some of use are dealing with everyday has really touched me. I am not alone. If I had pictures of all my hair everywhere I would post them for you so you can see that you too are not alone. But looking at your pictures IS like looking at me. I am dealing with it for the most part also. I want to thank you again and let you know that YOUR thread has meant more to me than you can ever imagine. God bless you. If you'd like to talk you can email me at sexyswamprat36@yahoo.com. I would love to chat.

Remember that there's a considerable overlap between men and women when it comes to hair growth. On average men have more body and facial hair. With breast development it's the other way round. But that's only in general terms. It's not at all unheard of for a woman to have more body and facial hair than her dh -- or even for a husband to have more breast development than his wife. I wouldn't let that spoil an otherwise-good relationship.
That's a good trade off. Accept I always seem to meet these completely hairless men hahah. Oh well.
Me too. Whether I'm hairy or not, I'm more attracted to men with body hair. I think it's natural.
In all honesty, I think women with some body hair are more attractive, too. My friends tend to be pretty progressive and a lot of them don't shave their armpits or legs. Hairless, "perfected" women bore my eyes. I diversity!
That's what's great about being part of the vegan community. Lots of progressive, open-minded people.

That's very courageous of you to post your pics.
You say that you've come to terms with it more or less, does that mean that you don't want to find the right treatment for yourself ?

I thank you for your most touching reply, it means a lot to me. I shall certainly be in touch with you. My email is yennileigh@gmail.com so you know who it's from.

I've come to terms with it in the fact that it doesn't make me hate myself like it used to. I still have self loathing days every once and a rare while, I think I need to allow myself to have them every now and then. But for the most part I've come to terms with it. I shave most every day and I do try to keep up my appearance. I would never go any where I need to look nice, unshaven or with hair popping out of my chest. But if it's say, my day off and I'm not really going anywhere but I might need to run to the store, well I'm not breaking out the razor just for that. Ultimately, yes I do want treatment. Sadly though it's nothing I can afford to do right now, I haven't been to the doctor's in ten years for anything. It's just something that'll have to be put on hold until I'm more financially stable. But in the mean time I've learned to live with it and love myself. Of course I wish I didn't have this but it's not my fault and there is no reason for me to feel bad just because there are people who would have me feel that way. I've also come to terms that; 1) I'll never find the right treatment for this, and 2) I may never be able to afford to get it taken care of. Such is life.
I think you are absolutely amazing. You said the key word here: this is not your fault. If people try to make you feel bad about it they should look inside themselves because this is simply not something you have done, and you cannot control it anymore than they can control having one nose or two hands.
People think that just saying to someone "take care of yourself" is a solution, like there is a simple magic way to take care of this and all you have to do is want it. That comes out of ignorance or evil, but people who actually deal with this know better.
Two thumbs up for you!

You know sometimes I think this is the sort of thing I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy. But you know sometimes I think I would wish it on them. Not out of spite, but just so they'd understand.
