I don't! Because honestly, i don't have hair that grow long on my legs. My niece came over and she ask me if I just shave my legs. I said no, never. She was pretty much shock and said "how lucky you are". And I just remember first when me and my hubbby just got married he ask me the same question and he was pretty much shock too. I found out that here in US, most women shave their legs. I'm asian, and i believe my friends back in Indonesia don't shave their leg too. So, i wonder is race have anything to do with hair that grow on your leg???

i am one of those who shave their legs. i am a hairy woman in that part (my legs) so i really have to shave. i have long, fine hairs in my leg area before i started shaving. i read somewhere that it is unhygenic to have long hairs so i decided to shave. it was okay since then. i found out that i look cleaner when i shaved my legs. i think it doesn't matter on what race you belong but on who your family is. it is genetically based, if you are hairy or not.

i guess you right, i remember one friend of mine, she's asian too, but she kind of have hairy leg...it's just not common back there...but i think you can say it's kind of hereditary right?

I am Irish and all the women I know including me shave or wax their legs, even the blonde ones so I think it has to do with ethnicity whether you are hairy or not. I have heard that Asians are not very hairy, even the men. But I can confirm that Irish women have to shave or wax their legs on a regular basis!

I occasionally shave my legs. Why is the question. What purpose does it serve to shave?

hi, there. Actually, just curiousity. Before I'm not aware of it, until my niece brought it up. And I never really think of it either because I never do it. Thank's anyway for your response ;)

No that is too much work. I don't think anyone care if I shave them.

I guess this question was directed towards the girls gang, but as i have pinned my pen in this discussion i would say that my girl friend uses waxing but doesnt shave as far as i know :)
