Shaving legs excuses

[Lizabelle]

I just started shaving my legs and I'm worried people will notice. Are there any good excuses for shaving legs?

Swim team, track sprint race, needed to tape my leg to support a injured muscle and just that part shaved looked weird so I made it all the same, your a woman.

My brother and boyfriend are both gym rats and they have both shaved their legs and chests at times. They say it's to show definition.  I have no idea what they are talking about.

These days, so many men shave their bodies I don't think anyone will actually notice or be bothered.  I've been shaving my legs for years whilst presenting male and never had a comment

Like the others said you can always say you have taken up a sport or if you're a bit older just say the hair got patchy and so you shaved it all off to make it look neater

My neighbor just asked if I picked up swimming again (I used to be in the school swim team). Serious swimmers or cyclists are all shaved.

But then - he was the only one to notice anyway :-)

Hi Lizabelle,

  You could try the truth, You do not like body hair. It's your body and you choices as to what you do with it.
These days it isn't that big of a deal. Just do it and don't worry what others think.

  Hugs,

I shave my legs but don't usually expose them. However, about 6 or 7 months ago, I showed up at work with my freshly shaved previously VERY hairy arms and nobody said anything. A few looks, but that's it... People don't really care. They may find it different at first, but then they get used. Excuse? "Because I wanted!" [emoji4]

Hugs Sarah

Exactly! No excuses, just the truth (while omitting unnecessary information). People actually don't notice as much as you are self-consciously aware of.

I wore my ladies jeans for an entire week at music camp with 100 other people, and nobody ever said a word.

Precisely! !!!!

We are the only ones that have to live in the little houses of flesh and bone that we are given... If we want to fix up the outside, change the landscaping and have the house re-plumbed... Then so it shall be!!!!

Onward we go brave sister,

I wear boots and boot socks and the hairs get stuck in the weave of the sock fabric. It rubs you raw are after a while.

Laurie is on to something here.  No body cares.  My sister told me that for a year.  With the exception on my family, really nobody gives a hoot.

Excuses are lame. Just say you like them more hairless, end of story.

[Lady Lisandra]

You could say you are a cyclist or swimmer,  or you could go for the truth, you shave for aesthetical reasons. You don't like your body hair, and that's fine. Worst case scenario, people will think you are gay.

What excuse , nobody cares. Although I'm a very masculine man on the outside my inner female needs to be treated as such. I've shaved everything g from neck down exception being my arms for a few years now and I have yet to get a comment from anyone. Girls shave their legs so shave away and enjoy!

I think from memory I just got the whole lot "sugared" a few years ago and have never looked back. I got the weed Wacker out today and gave the legs a bit of a trim up....I don't ever think anyone has ever asked me why I have shaved legs and arms...They did in the late 70's when I played soccer and I think I said then it was a joke played on me when I was Drunk...don't think anyone believed me...I didn't dare let on why they were shaved

I started shaving my legs when I was 19, I don't think anyone ever asked me about  it.

When I first started shaving, It was winter, so it was hidden by winter clothes.. When it warmed up, I was very aware my legs were bare.. and I tried to hide it, but then I got too hot.. so I wore shorts.. I got use to it and I stopped caring and the rest of the world also did not care.

One thing to add to all the great advice is that I understand the fear in your head about this - I remember vividly the first time after I had my first whole body wax and went to a bbq (very much in male mode) with my uni friends. Super worried about people and what happened ....

You guessed it, nothing at all. Not only did no-one mention it but I'm not even convinced anyone noticed.

I think if I've learned anything during this transition is that people are far more oblivious than you think they are and actually, if you think about it, it makes sense. Thinking about your last commute whenever that was, how many people do you remember? I would estimate, close to zero.

If you really want an excuse, cycling or swimming but you won't need it.

[elkie-t]

Unless you are serious cyclist, swimmer or bodybuilder, those excuses only show that you are insecure about it... If your friends never saw you going to gym and now you lied to them about it, would they just accept your excuse or laugh it out?

Btw, shaving legs is a very annoying chore. You'd need to do it every other day or have stubble. I recommend waxing or epilator. More painful (but not intolerably), yet you can do it once every two weeks
