how much do guys care about leg stubble, and what about face fuzz? I wonder how smooth i need to be before i'd turn him off? To be completely smooth, i'd have to spend time on myself every day, and i hate that, i'm not a vain person by nature. I pluck the coarse hairs out of my chin everyday but i leave the rest of the fuzz and i let my leg hair grow out in between waxes and shaves (which means every inch of my legs get hairy, lower, upper and coochy areas). Would guys find that totally gross?
sigh, it sucks we have to worry about this.
as much as I hate it I think generally guys hate hair on women. Not all guys but the majority. I saw a programm om Tv about hair/hairy women etc and all these guys(they were pretty young) in turn told how hairy girls were a total turn off. Just made me more paranoid about my own problems. My hubby is very understanding but I know he likes nice smooth legs ,face etc. My sister isn't too hairy but even her boyfriend let slip that he was a bit apprehensive about dating her because of her fuzzy face(until he got to know her better). Thank god shes not with him anymore. I know its such a pain to have to spend time and worry on stupid things like facial hair,I am waiting for a permanent hair removal system to be invented. I spent 1000s on IPL that hasnt worked too well so Im very cautious when I hear about new lasers etc that work better. I wish I could say 'hey dont worry about 'cause guys dont mind', but I dont think thats true. Good luck

ok, i figured as much.
then how does waxing work? it has to grow out and get pretty darn stubbly before it can be waxed again.
and shaving, that means i would have to shave at least every other day. i haaaaate shaving.
sucks.
My DH always bugs me about my leg stubble, just to be a funny guy. But when I Nair-ed my face a few days ago, he almost freaked out. He said "it was soft though, i didn't mind". So, I guess every guy's different. I think they'd prefer no hair, but then they'd have nothing to bug you about. Like the little hairs on my lower back he always plays with to be a pain. But honestly, any decent guys worth your time and effort won't give a damn about your hair or lack thereof.
My DH used to watch a lot of porn before we married, so he was a little startled at the amount of hair "down there." Anywhere else he doesn't seem to mind too much, although I tease him that one of these days, I may have a mustache that rivals his. I think I have more of a problem with his excess body hair than he has with mine!

I'd say that its a mixed bag. While I think the majority of men think its a little off-putting I have had several stranngeee run ins with guys about mine.
The first one was when I was 17 years old and just had a patch on the bottom of my jawline, at that point I didnt do anything with it, I just couldnt be bothered.. who knows what I was thinking, it looked horrible as I think back to it. But anyways, I had a summer job working for the post office and worked with this guy from Nigeria (I think) and one day he came up to me and told me that he thought it was the sexiest thing he had seen on an american woman, that in his country it was considered a sign of femininity. HUH??? oh well, it was strangely flattering
My very first boyfriend used to LOVE it when I didnt shave my legs, he liked the stubble. He never mentioned the face hair and Im sure he saw it plenty
My ex-husband was very supportive of it (one of the only things he was supportive of, but thats another rant all together ). He told me when I finally decided to shave it off that it was no big deal, that we could just stand side by side in the morning and shave together.
Do what you are comfortable with. If you dont care, screw it, they arent good enough for you anyways! If you do care, and there is obviously no shame in that, pick the best method for your own comfort.. Personally I shave because my poor skin couldnt handle a waxing if it was at gunpoint. I tried it once and it was HORRIBLE for my skin, I understand from plenty of women on this board that they swear by it..
Good luck sweetie, we're all in the same boat as you

My sister waxes her legs every once in a while and she doesn't shave in between. She tells me that her boyfriend's never commented negatively on it. It's the same stuff that's considered beautiful when it's on her head.
I hope I can also find a guy like that. I'd love to find somebody who matches me so completely that we just do not care about each other's outside wrapping.

I dont mind when my gal doesnt shave her legs. I think as long as you take care of your selves everyone and awhile that most men arnt going to really care. There are a few incensitive bastards among us menfolk that make the rest of us look bad. I really think that God made men and women alot alike and that we have made it to where its an oddity to see hair on women. I personally dont have any problem with it. I believe that if you love someone than you arnt going to care if they have a little extra hair. I am starting to get more on my back than i ever wanted but I know that wont stop my Angel from loving me and im getting thin on top as well. I think love is a wonderful thing that can help us overcome everything.

I think any guy worth bothering with won't be bothered by your hairiness. We can't all be supermodels and I would hope that guys would be mature enough to realize that. I'm sure they aren't all that mature, but I guess I'm one of the lucky women to have found a man as great as my DH.

I'm currently in a long distance relationship, and suppose to meet up in September or even before.. I have told the gentleman who I am trying to establish a relationship with, that I suffer from facial hairs. I do tweeze, and try to keep certain areas trim... He just said.. Yeah? I've told this to him twice over the more than year we've been talking and he still said. Yeah, and that he has to shave... I said, it's not the same on a woman.. We don't like hairs growing on our faces or chests. I also suffer from keloid scars.. He still said. Yeah and that's between me and you.. I just hope he's true to what he said when we meet.. I unfortunately have a dark shadow under my chin from years of tweezing..
I have to tell a sweet story.. A friend of mine has a very bad situation with her hair.. She is a very light complexion African American women, and for some odd reason when she reached her thirties all this unexpected hair grew on her chin, upper lip, sides and close to her neck. She tried everything to keep it hidden from her husband.. She would buy women electric shavers and hide them.. He one day ran out and bought her a nice pretty one.. She felt bad that he had discovered this and took a little offense.. He inturn felt bad, and thought he was helping and replied... Why do you care what others feel about how you look, when the facial hair never bothered me.
I have to admit having facial hair, having these scares and fighting my weight has caused me to live in my own little world of never having a boyfriend in my life... I'll be 40 this year and decided this face and body is what God gave me. I have the knowledge to shed the weight, I"ve doe it before, to find the best laser treatment for both scars and facial hairs. It's just time for me to start living and get out of my depression, that the world finds me ugly and unworthy. I've been working on it since age 32 with the help of God.. I'm slowly getting more light in my life.
My fiance is ok with my facial hair and other hair such as legs and arm pit hair, but i do try and shave it every other day so it is not stubbley for him. i get self concious about it but he says he loves me for who i am and that it will never put him off me

DH doesn't mind hairiness, although he certainly prefers smoothness. I think he appreciates it when I shave my legs, but in a mild kind of way -- he doesn't really seem to notice if I don't. He doesn't like my chin hair but would never tell me to do anything with it -- he knows I can't be bothered half the time!

male opinions on excess hair? 
I think I have more of a problem with his excess body hair than he has with mine! 
You should post this under the husband & boyfriends of pcos'ers...
