I just came across this website, and everything it says is so true about society and why we hate hair..theres some funny references and testimonials. Its worth a read if not for anything more than information on why we think it neccessary to be "hair-free" http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Freeze13Hair.html
this is one exerpt from it that I found amusing, and wish there were more men out there who thought like this!
Quote:
When I was in college, I dated a bearded woman for a very short time. She had a light-brown down almost an inch long on most of her face, and the hair on her arms was about two to three inches long. I was deeply attracted to her the minute I saw her. She reminded me of an Angora cat, not only because of her furriness but because her favorite sitting posture in class was somehow very feline: one leg drawn up against her chest, heel braced on the seat, chin resting on her knee. She made me want to stroke her.
I was also attracted to her because of her bravery. She obviously didn't care what people thought, and I admired that. She tended to wear long, gauzy hippie-chick skirts with her tie-dyed T-shirts, so I didn't know if her hirsutism extended to her entire body. In our senior year, we got together, and I discovered that under her clothes, she was almost as hairy as a werewolf. I thought she was beautiful. I've never dated an excessively hairy woman before or since--something about this particular person really got my attention. Kissing a woman with a mustache and beard took a little getting used to, but her whiskers were so soft that it really wasn't a problem. The only reason it didn't work out was because she was a devout evangelical Christian, and I don't belong to any organized religion. Every man I've ever told about this has cringed, gone pale, grimaced, or said he felt like throwing up.

For me the hair bothers me for different reasons. Of course I cannot deny that the way society and my peers view it is part of why it is so upsetting to me. But, the biggest thing about how it makes me feel so terrible is separate of anyone else or their opinion. I had a guy once tell me that he didn't mind it, in fact that he liked it. This was all well and good if I chose to believe him...but even if it was true it didn't matter because I do not like it. I don't like the way it makes me feel and no matter how much he told me he liked it...it didn't matter.
