Don’t hate the messenger. Hate the message. I was sent by the men to tell you to please shave your legs — especially if you’re wearing a skirt — and most especially, if you’re fair-skinned.
The men have complained to me. They said they have spotted many beautiful girls, and just when they begin their head to toe checking out, they stop on the legs. Not because they have seen something beautiful, but because the legs are natural, and apparently, they do not want natural legs. I repeat: MEN DO NOT WANT NATURAL LEGS!
But I cannot be mad at the women. If their family is anything like mine, then maybe they were told (like I was told too) that leaving legs with all the hair is the way to go, that men admire hairy legs, that shaving the legs is dangerous to the women’s health, and that all the real beautiful women have real natural legs. That’s what my mother, grandmother, and aunt told me. They even went ahead to offer me a heroine that I was supposed to look up to: my very light-skinned aunt and her very yellow legs — complete with very long, natural, dense, possibly coarse hair.
To their surprise (and hurt apparently), I declined their offer. I’m perfectly okay with my silky smooth legs. Even if no one touches them, I will touch them myself.
So ladies, you have heard from the men: shave your legs. If like me, you have a blade phobia, then please, resort to hair removers like Nair or that other one. Can’t remember the name right now.
… So, do you currently shave your legs?
ehen, Vera, this one I must talk o. When I was single,yes, I shave. But now with 3 children, it’s nowhere on my to do list. Abi are married women exempt from this instruction? Btw, I have been a long time lurker.
No more lurking around from now oh! Per exemption, no oh, I didn’t get that vibe from the men. “They” said all women must shave their legs.
I usually wear pants so I haven’t shaved my legs in aeons. However, since I have yellow legs, whenever I wear a skirt/dress, I try to shave. Not all the time though.
Yeah,I understand the skirt thing. I do the same thing too, but in my case, I barely have any hair, so I do it more for self-satisfaction.
Veet!
Yeah, that’s it! Thanks.
I shave all dntime jor it better I ll my legs when dry r shaved … Am not married now I pray when am married wit kids I ll still keep my swag on
That’s the challenging part, I hear: keeping up the work after a husband and/or kids.
Sorry for d typo I meant I always shave my legs n I hope to keep all my swag when am married wit kids
Got you! 🙂
I have not shaved in like 2 weeks (that’s a while!). Shaving your legs is a must. @Opal, you are getting it all twisted! Because you are married does not mean you have to let yourself go. I take care of myself now more than I did when I was single. Men are visual, you need keep your husband on his toes. Btw, I have 3 kids – 12, 10 and 15months old to take care of in addition to cooking daily, working full-time, sex :), and cleaning the house. Letting yourself go is the worst thing you can do to your marriage. Abeg shave today o!
@D1HeMarried, funny enough it was hubby who encouraged me to stop shaving cos he likes to feel the hair. I guess I just took advantage of that otherwise, I am on top of my game. Cheers.
Hahahahahaha at abeg shave today oh. It sounds as important as if you were saying, “Abeg repent today ooo”
Lukily for me, I don’t have hairy legs #GodIsGood.
We’re gonna need a proof of this claim. Thank you. Lol.
Veet is da boom. But the men way send you to pass on this message, then they different from the men way like boob hair….lmao.
My dear, that boob hair thing is a mystery. Lol. I can’t even imagine it. Lol.
