Shaving's too much work XD
... well I don't actually know, but I assume it would be. I'm perfectly fine with people not shaving(I'd better be, since I'm one of them :P), unless there's a lot a lot of hair. With armpit hair though, it's easy enough to, if it starts to be a lot, just take a pair of scissors and chop it down to something not so pokey outy and excessive :P

As a living bear, I can say shaving sucks. I used to as a swimmer and whole body shaving was rather tedius, thankfully we only did it for sectionals once each year.

Personally, I'm happy with whatever the other person feels comfortable with, as long as they are clean. I tend to be rather laid back about these things.

Hmm, I loathe shaving (I mean, I hate doing it, not the idea of doing it.) I can't stand stubbles and don't grow out the hair in my face, so I go nuts if I don't shave every other day, though that doesn't always happen.

I do find the idea of a guy shaving his arms, legs, and whatnot a bit... strange... unless it's for swimming or something where is mandatory. I could never shave my underarms/chest/anything, the stubbles poking would drive me absolutely nuts, and I have ridiculously sensitive skin, so I probably wouldn't be able to keep sleep comfortably for a while. That's one of those things that make me cringe when I think about it.

Depends where you're plucking.

"Pluck" is a funny word.

I've plucked my eyebrows before(and had my eyebrows plucked by others), and I pull my hair out a lot. It's not that bad. You guys are just wusses.

My own armpit hair really grosses me out, so I shave it frequently. Even in the winter. It doesn't really bother me so much if it's on other people, though.

Actually, my mom says you do stink more if you have armpit hair, because the sweat sticks to the hair, or something like that.

Yeah, I suppose it is one's own business what they do with their bodies, but this topic is about how things look to our eyes, not whose business it is. Personally, I prefer hairless everything on either gender. Well, besides heads, that is. :P As for facial hair, well, it really depends on the guy. Not for girls though.

I don't really care. But if a girl has bushes and bushes of it, then I am grossed out. For other guys, I don't care because most of us don't shave all over (but swimmers and some others do). I once plucked a couple eyebrows, and it hurts! Why don't they just use a razor or something?

Plucking allows you to shape the eyebrow more precisely, and shaving has to be done more often.
