I shave my arms sometimes! But that's because I like the feeling of smooth. My arm hairs are just that golden invisible sort of color, so they're not noticeable. I'm one of the few lucky Italian girls that don't have really dark hairy arms. XD
Though shaving is definitely mostly aesthetic, yes. Armpit shaving can be a bit more hygienic for the sole reason that having hairs in your armpits actually traps and worsens smells (or so I've read), so to shave your armpits helps reduce BO, but that aside... I personally enjoy feeling really smooth, but if pubic topiary is your thing, why not!
@ Monda - Do make sure you get a nice eyelash curler. You really wouldn't think it with something like an eyelash curler, but a few dollars makes the difference between a really awesome one (the one I used to have) and one that's crap (the one I have now. :x)
I'm not really sure what to add to this thread anymore besides small points. It's kind of a shame that the OP and most of the posts intentions were the fun-poking gentle kind of mocking of girls are weird like "girls are silly", for fun and all, and but a few posts have actually really gotten quite into the sinister "girls are stupid and don't know what's right for them" and that's why they're weird direction. I didn't know my eyelash curling would have such a bad effect!
I'm starting to think some of these men are just out to complain about females, whether it's related to our habitual grooming methods or not xD
You're missing the whole, it only takes a few seconds thing. I do about 4 seconds on each eye. Who cares if someone doesn't curl their eyelashes, but who cares if they do? It's a teeny tiny fraction of a girl's day. There are a crapton of more silly things that girls do than eyelash curling.
Heels for example. Heels are the work of the devil.
Have you ever worn heels though.
Actually i love heels because i LOVE BEING TALL MMMMMM
I never buy heels I can't walk in. Or if I do because they're just too gorgeous, I use insoles and grips and things and practise practise practise in them round the house. Chicken walking in heels removes any elegance or gravitas they would have otherwise lent you.
I use face paint and mess around with my hair and put freakish looking rags on myself because I like the aesthetic OBVIOUSLY I SLEEP AROUND GOSH IT'S SO OBVIOUS NOW
I completely understand, but chances are it'd be overlooked. If it's not going to be noticed regardless of time it's a fruitless endeavor.
Don't shave for a week but curl your lashes, then don't curl your lashes for a week but keep shaving. I'm sure someone would notice the former and not the latter.
I did an informal poll today in the computer lab. Out of four girls, one regularly curled her eyelashes, two did on special occasions, and one had no idea (me).
one of them did say that curling lashes helps to get them out of the way, so if I'm ever going to be using a microscope again...
(seriously, I always had trouble seeing things because my lashes would get in the way)
Fun fact: There are 11 girls out of 241 mechanical engineering undergrads.
No, it will be noticed. If a girl one day doesn't curl her eyelashes and the next day she does, you're going to notice that she looks just a little bit nicer, although you may not be able to pinpoint exactly why.
And lol @ you if you think girls don't regularly go a week without shaving. Especially in the winter.
Oh yeah, and heels make you look hot. No question. They just huuuurt. I've done a massive amount of research on comfortable heels, and the only ones that I can wear for any length of time are Sofft and Cole Haan with Nike Air. But both are really expensive. :o And the super cute shoes are never comfortable. Its like some sort of conspiracy.
