Given people's reactions, I figured what the hell! Mainly about genital hair, but the rest gets a brief look-in. Answers viewable to none, comments open to all.

I think some of it would depend on how much hair there is... eg I have some hair on my toes and fingers, as most of us probably do, but if there was a LOT of it I'd probably get rid of it, and wouldn't find it attractive on a partner.

I think the male/female thing would be interesting to explore. Eg I don't much like underarm hair on anyone, but I prefer it least on women. And I hate that the expectation is that women shave their legs. I don't, although perhaps I'd feel differently if I had more leg hair and wore more girly-girl clothes.

The amount of hair does vary so very dramatically from person to person. One of my partners tended to have two to three hairs growing from each follicle on her pubes. It was thicker and wirier than any beard I've ever grown and she'd never shaved.

Is there a reason you prefer armpit hair less on women, other than you just do? I don't mind it either way, though in some forms of female dress I find bare pits preferable i.e. evening wear.

That said, one of the things that attracts me to a person is scent based, and the hair helps accentuate that. So there are times when I prefer bare, but with some people I really like them having hair.

I suppose it's a cultural thing, that hair on men is just considered more acceptable, and that's rubbed off on me. But hairy pits on men in singlets when they lift their arms up just isn't a good look to me...

At least you're pretty even handed about it :)

Yeah, I dislike left pit hair as much as right pit hair :)
