Oddly enough have been forcing their way to my attention for some days maybe weeks so maybe its time to give them an airing. Or more realistically shed a little light on female body hair in what I've grown to think of as unreasonable places.
For most of our lives most European women don't have to worry much about body hair, there's some on legs, arms and even face but not much and all easily dealt with. Under arm hair is not a problem either most of us shave or dilapidate it off whenever the weather is hot enough for sleeveless tops or whenever we're going somewhere special.
I think if we're honest most of us get rid of underarm hair from late spring to mid autumn, unless of course we're in the early days of a relationship, and that's my point. Most of us don't shave underarms all the time or even all the year.
Course we're not supposed to say that we're all supposed to spend all our spare time in the bathroom titivating ourselves, well guess what? Most of us don't and the older we get the more this applies. Its not lazy or indifferent its not about how we feel its more about what we wear and how what we wear makes us feel. And if any man thinks women dress to please men they are kidding themselves we dress to please ourselves and possibly annoy someone else.
Which bring me to the reason many older women probably don't shave underarms as often as we once did. Upper arms sag, there's no hiding it and as far as I know no cosmetic surgery to disguise it our upper arm muscles just lose their spring and droop rather more obviously and with more wrinkles than bust or buttocks. So the days when we wore sleeveless anything grow very few and far between
Aging has unforeseen and unexpected side effects, arms sag, hair you never had suddenly appears on face, arms, legs, anywhere and while face, arms and legs are still highly visible and easily dealt with underarms are suddenly covered. To avoid shaving? No! Sleeves become more popular because of upper arm sag and perhaps an off shoot of this minor annoyance maybe to let underarm hair stay where it is for longer than we did when we were younger.
I don't hate underarm hair but it does distract attention from that outfit you spent a fortune on and very often underarm hair completely fails to match the colour of the hair on your head. It might if you didn't dye your hair but who's going to stop dying their hair or start dying their armpits? No one. And, anyway what difference would that make to the sagging upper arm problem?
So, all these silly young things droning on about underarm hair not only show their ignorance of the female they show their ignorance of the aging process I don't think its rude to mention the subject and it doesn't embarrass me but it does say something about those who think we either should or more likely we shouldn't shave under our arms.
We should do whatever the hell we please and the older we get the more we should do it.
