A age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I have a strange question. I am a girl and have hair in irregular sopts on my body (lower back, butt, and stomach). Ive went to the doctor and she said that there is no was to get rid of all of it. Im taking birth controll hoping that will help with my hormone imbalace and limit the amount of hair. Basically i want to ask if guys find this unattractive? I technically cant control it so its not my fault. Also I dont want to shave it because I shaved my stomach when I was younger because it made me insecure and now it looks even worse. I dont really want tk do laser hair removal because its extremely overpriced. Are there any guys out there that can just look past it?

So_Very_Confused agony auntI'm late on this one but I vote for some professional waxing if you can afford it at a decent salon

I'm dark and I have to wax my eyebrows, upper lip and chin every few weeks.

You are right shaving is not the option but Veet or Nair might work if your not sensitive to the chemicals.

Professional waxing done on a REGULAR basis will help retard the hair growth... I had my legs waxed for so many years I barely have hair on them now....

also if it's very FINE hair but just dark and downy... try bleaching it.... i have to admit that I don't like DARK hairy bodies but I LOVE that my husband is furry under his clothes.. and although he's got light brown hair on his head (nearly blonde) he's got RED body hair (it's normal btw to have different color body hair to head hair and your head hair can be straight but body hair curly)

A female reader, like I see it United States +, writes (20 October 2013):

like I see it agony auntIf I leave my body hair as is, I also have way more of it than most women. I'm brunette so it can be very visible and I used to freak out over it, but as I've gotten older I've figured out what works for me.

I use those home wax strips (cut to size) on my upper lip. I'll use Nair or Veet (hair removal creams) on the other problem spots as needed. Just don't leave them on too long or they WILL burn your skin; the warning labels aren't kidding about that!

Note that the creams are labeled for use everywhere except your face and bikini area - if you want to remove hair from either of those places then wax is a better alternative. Totally recommend waxing your own upper lip at home, but if you are going to get anything waxed below the waist you may want to visit a professional. Doing it yourself is, from personal experience, pretty excruciating the first few times, until the hair regrowth lessens a bit. Sorry if that's TMI :)

I should also mention that I only remove hair from my stomach, lower back etc. intermittently (so I know boyfriends have seen me 'hairy') and I have NEVER had a guy complain about this or act grossed out about it in any way. While I am sure there are guys out there who would find this a deal-breaker, the ones I've met don't seem to.

For what it's worth, birth control pills also reduced my unwanted hair growth significantly while I took them. I don't use hormonal birth control any more because I didn't find the side effects I had to be worth the benefits, but if you can tolerate hormonal BCPs they can definitely help.

Good luck with this, and best wishes :)

Actually its funny that you brought that up code warrior. I've actually never liked a guy based on looks. Usually I like them because of their personality and then I find different physical things that I find attractive after ive gotten to know them

Daisy_Daisy agony auntOf course it's not your fault. It's totally natural to have body hair. Some guys won't like it, some might love it, most (I'd imagine) would be indifferent.

Look up Frida Kahlo - a Mexican lady who had a monobrow (as well as serious disabilities) - she had many admirers and lovers.

Men and women have 'excess' hair. It doesn't matter unless you let it become an issue. X

Tisha-1 agony auntOf course there are guys who are fine with hair there. They have hair there themselves! So relax, use wax if you want to wear a bathing suit and stop worrying about it for now. Cross the hair removal bridge when you get into a relationship, okay? :)

Not everybody is the same. I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't bother some people, but that shouldn't concern you, because those people obviously aren't meant for you. Just as some guys prefer brown hair, they may not like a redhead. No biggie, find someone else. There are 3.5 billion guys out there.

Intrigued3000 agony auntI have a female relative who is extemely hairy. She has very hairy arms (from elbow to wrist), stomach, butt, even facial hair. Men find it very sexy and are turned on by the sight of it. She waxes her face, and was considering waxing her arms, but her boyfriend stopped her. He told her that he found it extremely sexy and a turn on.

You'd be so surprised what men find sexy. Not all men are into the barbie doll women, so don't fret. Embrace what you have like it's the sexiest thing on the planet, because it is!

When a guy truly likes a girl, we can look past any imperfection. It's a good way to find out how much he really likes you, and isn't just into everything on the surface.

You might consider waxing, which is a bit uncomfortable; but the results are pretty good. It ranges in prices; so you can go online and look it up. Many beauty spas offer these treatments at a reasonable price.
