Um...i love you

I agree!!! Hair in the pit is one of the many things that help distigush me from a female.

Have have shaved my legs though. Well actually my ankles. I played a lot of vollyball in college, and taped up my ankles. The tape was pulling it off, so shaving made it less painfull.

so i can't tell without looking for a vagina or breasts that a person is male due to underarm hair? i've def. seen lots of chicks with hairy pits.

<< What would my stick deodarant stick to if the hair was gone? >>



Deodarant is NOT supposed to go on your hair buddy. It is supposed to go on the skin. Anti-persperant works by blocking the sweat pores - if it's on your pit-hair, it's not doing a good job is it?

Sorry. I should have been more specific. What I meant was; What would my stick deodarant uselessly glomp onto and congeal to the point of never being able to wash off if my armpit hair was shaved?

Now, explain the exact procedure of applying deodarant onto the skin properly with 4" of hair in between? And I believe that deodarant and anti-perspirant are 2 different products. Deodarant is just stink. Stink will stink no matter where you put it.

Did you just use both the words "Glomp" and "Congeal" in your last post? :D

Did I breach some form of etiquette?

A good deodarant wouldn't glomp and congeal *snicker* if it was any good. You make it sound like it lumps itself into huge balls or something. I've always kept mine trimmed so I don't know the procedure of putting it on with hair under my arms.

I shave my armpits for two reasons:

1) I wear tank tops pretty often
2) I have/HAD long armpit hair :eek:

It looks better shaved, fo damn sho!

Be proud of your hairyness. God made you a man, therefore you should revel in being a sweaty, hairy, smelly pig. :D

Would you want to ruin that by shaving your pits? I think not.

Grow the pit hair out, let children frolic in your pit hair. Let them make swings out of it.

I don't shave it, but I come damn near close. It's basically a shave but I consider it a trim as no real "blades" are involved. It makes everything look a lot nicer.

Plus, what's wrong with staying trimmed up? It doesn't take a long time and I know I keep my pubes trimmed neatly, if I'm gonna do that then what's wrong with the pits being trimmed too?

Agreed.

I wish shaving my face was as painless... *ouch*

To answer the original question - I don't think it's ghey, but I am relatively relaxed in that matter. I realize most people do think it is.
