Hairy arms on a woman can be just as attractive as a beautiful face or sexy eyes. My wife a Latina has sexy arm hair and its one of the many things I love about who she really is...
If I was a woman I'd be pissed, its seems most women are taught from a young age that you can't be beautiful just being yourself. It must suck to spend your whole life covering up or taking away natural beauty and turning it into something society's majority accepts at a medioca level

Although like a previous poster commented "I'm just one man" so to each its' own.

I can be self concious about it now and then but i think how often i would have to shave. I just can't be bothered shaving it, if my boyfriend don't like it he will just have to accept it because looks aren't everything

Women are always trying to change themselves to what they think men like and not all men like it.
I also rather have a woman with real size A breasts then size C implants.
Women, just stay natural

The hair is blond and fine, but gets really thick and long from about halfway up my forearm to just past my elbow. What's unusual about mine is that is is really long - almost 3 inches long near my elbows. I get some comments about it (not all bad) and my current boyfriend has no problem with it. In fact he likes to play with it sometimes.

 I guessed I gave a wrong reply in my earlier post. Oops! Very sorry for the mistake.
Before he loves you , it matters to some but after he loves you , it does not matter.
You can dye them lighter shade and it will not be so obvious.

 I'm just one man but arm hair dosen't bother me. If anything the stubble that is sure to result would make me back off.

When you are married, it maybe OK .But when you are single, you would look more sexy with a clean and hairless armpit. He may not tell you but it is a turn off for many males.Don't shave at your own perils.
If you don't like shaving, then you need to cover them up...

It is often a cultural thing and certainly genetic factors can affect how noticeable it is.Is your arm hair particularly dark and long or is it fair, short and wispy. You should be aware that all body hair gets less noticeable with age (more than 50 or 60) so the longer you can put off waxing, shaving or otherwise is only going to help in the long run. Hair tends to grow stronger and darker the more it is shaved.As a guy it would not affect me if a woman I was dating had arm hair but I do find hair in other places (like underarm) less attractive. Try not to worry about it and just pay attention to how he acts. If you decide you must do something about it consider changing the guy rather than yourself and take advice from a beautician about getting rid of hair if you must do that.Cheers

 Wait you want to shave your arm? Why? is this how pathetic we become that we need to shave every part of our body. Arm hair on a woman is quite light, I don't understand why you need to shave it?? seriously I never heard this before. Don't do it! why, because it grow back even darker and you have to keep on shaving it all the time.
