On another note, boys should shave their armpits. That shit's nasty.

Well Spoon, since puberty I've always made it habitual to shave my armpits, chest, stomach, (happy trail) and lower portions along with inner thighs. I didn't like smelly body hair then, and I hate smelly body hair now! Besides, a shaved body looks a lot better when you have the muscles

I also do this out of consideration for that special someone when she comes along. Maybe it'll be a surprise for her or maybe she expected as much, either way, I'm not letting it grow back. Oh, and I was doing this way before this whole "metro" phase came about.

What are you trying to say? That you're the father of metro?

[David-kyo]

No, he just means that he'd been shaving himself long before it was considered cool.

That would imply that he's kinda old, now wouldn't it...

Ha haa haa! Believe me, 25 isn't old.

[Gobbler]

Believe me, that opinion's quite different if you're only 20.

[Icey]

Change that to "when you're on the internet" and you're covered.

Also, all you bisexuality haters are jerks Go read some Kinsey or something, or burn the gays. You have no idea what it's like to be attracted to boys and yet have a more literal homophobia than those homophobes.

[Cyzyk]

I'm about to post something extraordinarily offensive to probably everyone.

You cannot be 'attracted' to your own sex and be completely rational. It's like suicidal depression. Yes, both happen, but aren't normal or healthy by any stretch of the imagination. However, this is a conclusion based on the idea of cognitive psychology, not the other, fruitier varieties like Freudian or behavioral. Cognitive psychology would assume the issue is one of disordered conscious thought, rather than some fluke of genes, weird chemicals in your brain, or buried deep in your fuzzy-wuzzy little dreams.

No, I'm not homophobic. Do I shove this theory down their throats? Not any more than I mock people with depression or asthma. There are people out there who find it sexually arousing to be vomited on. I put homosexuals and bisexuals on the same list as enemaphiles (sp?) as sexual deviants, but a whole lot closer to normal. I can ignore homosexuality in someone, but enemaphilia is just too damn creepy.

On a more cheerful note: Body hair is healthy. If some girl is loonie enough to think I'm going to shave more than my face, she's got another thing coming. I don't expect girls to shave anything else, why should I have to?

[Jane Sherwood]

Sex, sex, sex, that's always the reason for everything, isn't it? It's like once a person reaches puberty they completely forget what life was like before the hormones took control of their nether-regions.

What's so wrong about having asthma?

Haa haa haaa! I agree with you totally! As soon as puberty hits, they all want to try out their equipment! C'mon, can't we all go back to the days of playing with Legos?!

And I know some people are gonna start a problem about this but so what?! I am still a virgin at 25 out of choice. Big deal. It's not that I can't get any, it's just:

1) I haven't seen anything I like so I won't settle for anyone.
2) Hardly any Japanese around where I live.
3) Honestly, I'm waiting to get married and skip all the silly drama associated with dating, sexual flings, one night stands, and non-emotional pleasure seeking.

I've dated before and it was just meaningless. I'll make my moves when I see what I like. I have patience.

[Spoon Poetic]

Cyzyk, you honestly don't expect chicks to shave their legs and armpits?? That's rare. And hard to believe...

P.S. I still play with Lego!!!

[Gobbler]

Geez, that's a tough attitude, but I can understand it, really. Right now, I can't seem to find someone normal and loveable for the life of me.

*points* Which is your fault, women!

... then again, I didn't find a normal and loveable guy yet, too, so I guess that kinda makes it a draw.

[Cyzyk]

I still play with Legos. I haven't bought any in years, but I still have plenty. They don't make 'em like they used to. I have like four of the old castles. Remember those square shaped baseplates with the ramp and hole for cellar/well/dungeon?

I get 3, and maybe 1, but no. 2 doesn't make any sense at all to me. I'm the product of five or so different nationalities ranging from first thirty French families on PEI to Syrians who immigrated in the thirties. I wouldn't marry someone who didn't speak English (unless I spend a few years REALLY learning Japanese), but that's about the only geographic-ethnic restriction I've got.

Cyzyk, you honestly don't expect chicks to shave their legs and armpits?? That's rare. And hard to believe...

I'm just a realist. I know perfectly well women grow hair those places. Why should I expect a woman to take a sharp object to herself frequently just to conform to some outmoded idea of attractiveness? We call Chinese women binding their feet idiotic and brutal, but when I consider how uncomfortable shaving my face daily is, I can't imagine shaving a good third of your body as being much fun either.

[Spoon Poetic]

Hooray! That rocks. It does feel nice to be all shaved and shiny smooth, but it's just cool that someone out there wouldn't demand it.

...Even so, dudes should at least trim their unruly armpit fur.
