Thread Name: BS: Hairy or shaved armpits
Subject: RE: BS: Hairy or shaved armpits
Guest, I like the look of unhairy men myself, but I'm not one of them, and too lazy (M.G.) to do anything about it.

Paris Is Burning was a good documentary that wasn't too hard to find, a few years ago.

Wait--is it sophisticated women, or sophisticated lookin' laydees?

I don't think there's quite a hair-correlative for men. Nose hair maybe, for some. Still, there's a social pressure on women about appearances that men can't really grasp the size of. No matter how cool or "sophisticated" anybody is, they might want to re-think the hair.
   One can take the "natural" idea to an extreme and be a full-flegded nudist all the time, but that's kind of sad and dispirited, really--it's fun to open presents, and interesting to wear social masks. It really is unsophisticated to be all natural, or on the other hand all conventional about everything, but not to pick and choose whatever suits you. I sympathize with people who have strong preferences for particular looks, but not for rude half-baked arguments about it. It really becomes obvious quick when people will use anything in the icebox as a point instead of bothering to know and say what they really think.
This thread has become all valentine-y and evocative with women talking about pubic decorations and all. Thanks for that. The only part of the image that isn't etched in my brain is the title of the book you're reading in the tub. It's a little blurry, I can't make it out, what is it?
