Today, I realized that I hadn't shaved in so long that when the wind blew, the hairs on my legs moved in the breeze. FML

Today, I shaved my legs for the first time in three weeks. It took half an hour, three disposable razors, and I cut my legs up so badly they look worse then they did when they were hairy. FML

Today, I realized that I can tell how long it has been since I have been with a guy, by the length of my leg hair. FML

Today, I decided to shave my legs completely to be more confident in my dress. I spent over an hour making sure my legs were perfectly shaved. It wasn't until I had been out awhile that I realized I forgot to shave my armpits. FML

Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML

Today, while talking to my boyfriend, I noticed he looked uncomfortable. When I asked what was wrong, he asked when the last time I shaved was. I answered, "I shaved my legs this morning." He shook his head and said, "No, I meant your face." FML

Today, it finally clicked in my mind how desperately lonely I am, when I shaved one of my legs just to find out what a woman's leg feels like. FML

Sooo... why don't you shave? I'm sorry, how is this an FML?

Christ, it has nothing to do with hygiene -- it's cultural norms. Men don't shave their legs, and it's not unhygienic. What are you, twelve?

No, it's social norms, doofus. See comment #12. He/she summed it up perfectly.

Aw, thanks. Is it just me or are half these commenters pre-teen boys who have never touched a female they're not related to?

Ahaha. You're right, my friend. :P Just because all the girls in **** are shaved doesn't mean it's "ewwww" not to. It's just preference. Like long hair vs. short hair, or skin color.

I mean, I normally shave my legs and all, even though it's a pain, but the last time I had sex I was rockin' some bitchin leg hair (it was unexpected sex)... did he complain? No. Did he notice? Nope.

Why are people so shallow as to say 'ew' to the fact she hasn't shaved her legs. it's natural get over it people. and i think men should actually appreciate the fact that women go through the hassle to shave they're legs and other areas. Where as men don't do any of that. You get off quite easily i would say. But seriously stop hating on her because she hasn't shaved them. ******* pathetic.

People are saying it's gross because it's gross in their opinion, duh. I think it's gross too. Yeah, it's natural, but my preference is for women to shave everything but their eyebrows and head. That's just me. Don't like it? Well guess what, my opinion's just as good as yours. We can hate on her just as much as you can hate on us for doing so. So there. Yes, this is NOT an FML. Just go shave or wax if you don't like it. lrn2FML

I actually changed my primary doctor when she said something along the lines of, "Hairy legs are very natural." Screw that. I mean, I think it's bad enough that I don't shave during the week. I've actually been looking into laser hair removal for my legs and bikini area....maybe a touch up for under my arms. Id much rather get rid of it forever than have it grow out... A lot of guys shave their faces for work and whatnot, why can't girls keep up with their legs?

You... changed your doctor because she made the perfectly reasonable (and true) statement that leg hair is natural? That's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's top ten, at least.

I'd be more worried if the doctor said that hairy legs were unnatural :S.

I say they should make a new law making it socially unacceptable for men to not shave too. If women have do do it so should men. Btw YDI just cos you say it like it's a terrible tragedy.

Women don't HAVE to do it...

That's right, they don't have to. It's just expected of them, and they get called disgusting if they don't. Personally, I shave pretty much everywhere except my head, but that's actually due to a somewhat neurotic obsession with smooth skin. Otherwise, I would consider shaving WAY too much of a hassle to do regularly. :/ OP, if it bothers you, shave, wax, whatever. If it doesn't bother you, then don't complain about it. Either way, this doesn't belong here.

...it's a law for women to shave? Since when? Since you couldn't think of a better way to vent your frustration for societal norms that no one person can be responsible for? Men are expected to shave, or at least stay well groomed. I know I wouldn't go into any job interview with the way my face looks right now.
