This 25-year-old man and his girlfriend have been dating for nearly two years. At the beginning of their relationship, everything was going smoothly. He couldn’t see anything he didn’t like about his girlfriend.
Not long after they started dating, they were discussing likes and dislikes, and he mentioned that he wasn’t a fan of body hair on women and found it unattractive.
He clarified that his only pet peeve was about body hair on the armpits and legs and didn’t mind it anywhere else.
While he isn’t bothered by minor stubble or if it’s grown out a little, he doesn’t like when women allow their armpit and leg hair to grow out more than that.
“She didn’t mind that I had preference because she told me she doesn’t like the sensation of body hair on her,” he said.
His girlfriend stopped shaving a while ago, so she has body hair now. He thought her armpit and leg hair resembled his, and she didn’t shave for months. Because it bothered him, he asked her why she wasn’t shaving anymore.
He didn’t demand that she start shaving again, but he just asked her to find out if there was a reason why she hadn’t been doing so lately.
In response, she told him she stumbled across a TikTok on body positivity, and the video gave her the confidence to embrace her body hair.
“I tried to like it, but I can’t. It doesn’t look good. I finally told her straight up that I didn’t find it attractive. She didn’t like that and said she doesn’t want me to be like ‘one of those men,'” he explained.
