It's the Pits
After a comment interchange with meesha.v about armpit hair on my post Why I'm Never Shopping at Victoria's Secret Again, I was inspired to talk about this, once again. Especially since way back when I was first growing pit hair, I promised to keep people up to date with the reactions.
But first, here's the first and only picture of me letting it all hang out:
For the curious, that's as long as it gets (also, I notice this shirt is one I am too small for now... I look like I'm wearing a sack!). It's curly like a guys' (at the bottom right pit, that's a ringlet), and like a guys' it also means I get sweatier there sometimes. Otherwise, there's really no difference now that I've gotten used to it.
But I really find it strange that it's received no comments. At all! Not from family, not from friends, not from coworkers and not from strangers. So what am I supposed to take away from this? That everyone is cool with pit hair? I doubt it, but I really don't know why I've gotten zero comments on such a weird thing. I've gotten looks from strangers (like that varicose-vein-infested, over-the-hill housewife bitch at ATC the other day who was totally giving me evils) and some of my girl friends touch it & giggle, but nobody says nothing. Why do you think that is?

First!!!!
AND YES!!!!!
TKC is all for letting it hang out or whatever. I'm not a big fan of armpit hair but this post is simply NICE.
heh. I wouldn't consider myself a "fan" either. But it does amuse me ^__^
in my experience armpit hair isn't all that unusual. I would certainly hope that you don't get weird looks or comments for it. of course this is KC, so you never know...
Hair is practical, smooth is sexy. Call it a learned response from my culture but that is what I am stuck with at this point.
I can live with either if the attitude is right. Went out with someone once who didn't shave but also just wasn't that clean. The two did not mix well.
I like pretty smells.
'nuff said.
Yeah, if this significantly changed my body odor factor, I wouldn't do it either. Luckily for me, my armpits smell like apricots.
totally stole my poll question for the next week.(I am still doing it anyway) i think the reason you don't get commentw is what I wrote here

if I know anything about American "normal social graces" you are getting plenty of comments behind your back.
That's probably right, but strangers on the street never seem to have a problem to comment on the rest of physical appearance, so I don't know why they wouldn't do so for this too.
I have pit hair too. Though, I have never really given it much thought. In fact, I have hair almost everywhere. The only place I can't grow hair is the middle of my upper lip, which is really discouraging when try to grow any sort of stache. And I should not go without mentioning that spot on each shin where my socks have worn away my hirsuitness... quite disturbing.
Grow some back hair and I will really be impressed.
I'll get right on that.
