    Is this the student from Dublin who wrote the article in the newspaper?

    Not really, women are less hairy because there is a direct correlation between the advent of secondary sex characteristics and testosterone.

    nts, I don't think women should be hairless but everything should be trimmed and at an appropriate lenght but that is my personal preferance trimmed but not bald - leave tiny white hairs alone unless they're under your lip and getting long, trimmed fingernails, keeping the end of the hair on your head trimmed and neat, armpit trimmed (Edit shaved would be a more appropriate description) but obviously stubble or very short hair is acceptable as the skin there is so delicate, leg hair can be shaved with an electric yoke and only smooth on special occaisions or done once a week if you please but the idea that a woman is completely hairless all the time is frankly ridiculous.

    Homo Sapiens aren't descended from Neanderthals, they were a separate species of human that coexisted with modern humans for a short period. We shared a common ancestor but that's all.

    Exactly, the lack of hair was a trait that made a woman more likely to mate. This ment her genes were more likely to pass onto the next generation of women. So each generation of women where genetically predispositioned to be slightly less then the previous. The desire for lack of hair was either not present or much lower in the female populace so we are left with a direct correlation between sex and body hair or as you phrase it testosterone and body hair.

    Are you suggesting that humans have evolved that significantly since the 70's/80's when more hair was common?

    I don't think you quite understand what I am saying. I also think you are applying a modern culture male preference to ancient, possible pre Homo-sapiens mating rituals/preferences.

    I am unsure if I would be willing to commit to the idea that less body hair was an important decision in early human mating but would love to see any links you have on the matter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,239 ✭✭✭KittyeeTrix


    I could care less about the evolution and nature of womens hairy bodies versus mens hairy bodies..

    I'll leave that to the ^^^^^"intelligents" above to trash out for the next few hours!!:rolleyes:

    Personally, I didn't like the look of yer wans pits. Ain't no right nor wrong here. I thought they looked rank be that cos I'm conditioned to think/feel/react that way or whatever. I know they're not dirty or any of that nonsense that others may say but at the same time, to me, they didn't look right!!!

    You wouldn't go out with me, because occasionally I'm not permanently 'groomed' - and I wouldn't go out with you (even on those occasions I am 'groomed') because your rigid views on 'what women should do' could possibly run deeper, and into scary territory eventually. Hope that makes sense - almost lunchtime and I'm starving, mightn't have expressed that as well as I could do. :)

    Wow hold on there. A personal preference for women to shave body hair is not a view on 'what women should do', it's a view on what I like personally and what I find attractive. I've said before that it's each to their own.

    And as for "could possibly run deeper, and into scary territory eventually", well it's not really a fair comment.

    Yes I am. "Modern culture" as you call it, I'd prefare "human sexual behaviour" has it's origins in our evolutionary and biological make up. That much is an inescapable fact.

    I sure do indeed. I know I know it's wikipedia, but they do reference what they say.

    Well we don't know if Neandertals were less or more hairy than us. The common perception is they were, but there's no evidence either way. Though they probably were as a cold adaptation. In any event as a hominid we are very much the odd ones out among our cousins who went before. So what went before is no great indication as to why we have certain features and they didn't. We have flat faces, chins and look more like juveniles than they did and likely less hair. All these were sexually selected for. The people with smaller brow ridges and bigger chins had more kids than those who didn't.
    Not really, women are less hairy because there is a direct correlation between the advent of secondary sex characteristics and testosterone.
    Yes but Iwasfrozen does still have a point. Women are less hairy on average than men. It seems to have been sexually selected for that. Male secondary sexual characteristics include facial hair which outside rare genetic issues women do not. That men choose to shave off that characteristic is an interesting debate in of itself. Look at our nearest relatives, both males and females are equally hairy, yet a female chimp has much less testosterone than a male. Somewhere along the line we lost our body hair(thermoregulation/reduction of body parasites), but women lost significantly more. That was sexually selected for. Other sexual selection were things like permanently full breasts(apes are flat chested unless breast feeding). Add fashion and culture into the mix to highten those selections and you tend to get exaggeration of such features.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I bet aliens have no body hair and they beamed down to earth and mated with the Neanderthals and produced homo sapiens, the semi hairy creature.

    Wellll..... not quite. More like a subspecies and if you're not an African chap or chapess you likely carry Neandertal DNA in you(If you're east Asian you carry even earlier stuff in your genes). We got jiggy with each other enough for some to survive down to this day.

    Oh agreed 100%. The level of hirsuteness in women(and men) that's considered attractive is culturally biased, however the overall bias is for women to be less hairy than men and both to be less hairy overall. Some cultures just exaggerated that, or not. Ancient egyptian women were plucked within an inch of their lives. I gather they used honey in some way in hair removal. Arab women today are big into hair removal as a cultural thing. Europeans are among the hairiest peoples around today. Asians are less hairy, many of the men can't grow facial hair. Africans are less hairy too.

    Christ this is painful. The fact women are less hairy then men suggests that it is a preferred sexual triat in a woman. Women exhibiting this trait were more likely to mate. It obviously isn't a new development since if it was women would be as hairy as us and they aren't.

    This is quite true, a lot of my female friends would consider excess body hair on a bloke (back/shoulders etc) to be quite a turn off.

    squeamish has nothing to do with it. I think how a women takes care of herself says a lot. I would consider grooming to be big deal to be honest.

    Which implies if a woman does not do it then she does not take care of herself. To say you do not find it attractive is fine, to say women who dont conform to this do not take care of themselves and imply that have bad grooming practices is in a way saying what women should do.


    I personally would not like to let my underarms that hairy - i think it would be uncomfortable, but in saying that i dont shave every day or even every week.It dries out my skin using cheap razors a lot and I cant afford the upkeep of even slightly more expensive razors. My legs I only shave when they are on show - and yes this is to conform to what society says is the norm and I do think they look unattractive if on show hairy - though if i saw a woman with hairy legs i prob wouldnt even comment/notice.

    My boyfriend doesnt care - i asked him once and he said he didnt even notice when they are hairy. I still consider myself to look after myself - as would my boyfriend - but I guess everyone has different standards.

    True enough, I've heard figures of 3 to 4 % of our DNA comes down from Neanderthals but as you say this was through interbreeding with rather than evolving from them.

    True, but then it might get interesting if you took a naturally hairless Asian man and a naturally more hairy European woman. :D Actually the woman at the centre of this probably has more body hair than many Asian men.

    Yep, hairy male backs tend to be a no no IME alright and you don't see too many very hairy men represented in art throughout the ages. The 70's has a lot to answer for regarding both genders :D

    I don't see how less hair as a preferred trait translates to shaving all "excess" body hair? If you follow that logic to it's conclusion, women with shaved heads would be the most sexually appealing to men.

    Because it's body hair that men find unnatractive not head hair.

    Your argument still falls down though, because evolution has naturally left body hair in the areas where they will function in their role of pheromone delivery. Shaving it off for aesthetic reasons negates its biological function, so it's one step forward and one step back, in evolutionary terms.

    Sorry to butt in here but you didn't really respond to tinypenguin's point.

    It's absolutely fine if you have personal preference for a hairless woman, and to not find women who don't shave attractive. I'm actually with you on that one. My personal preference for women would be those who shave/wax, although I wouldn't make quite as big a deal of it as some posters on here.

    But to say women are disgusting, aren't taking care of themselves, aren't grooming, just because they don't shave is a pretty offensive stand point.

    How would you feel if women starting telling men what they have to do to conform to society? Men who grow beards wouldn't be deemed disgusting or not taking care of themselves. Why is leg and underarm hair disgusting on women but not men?

    I just think the extreme reactions are ridiculous on this thread. My personal preference for women is no/little underarm, leg and genital hair. But I wouldn't call them disgusting if they had it. And I certainly wouldn't assume they don't take pride in their appearance or take care of themselves because of it.

    Well you could put forth the argument that we are moving away from an importance of older functions in order to pick partners and supplanting them with newer ones.

    You could of course make that argument, but aesthetic preferences can change on a whim of fashion from decade to decade or from one generation to the next whereas the argument that "Iwasfrozen" is making, is that the aesthetic preferences are biological evolution in action, which simply doesn't work that way.
    In fact, it would have the opposite effect, if women all chose to shave their body hair, selection of genes would play no part in sexual trait preferences.

    In all fairness, from an originality point of view this is good. You normally get the bog standard "I'm a full of **** male" trolling AH, nice to see at least the guise of a female poster doing that.

    But to say women are disgusting, aren't taking care of themselves, aren't grooming, just because they don't shave is a pretty offensive stand point.
    Shall we go over my posts again?

    "I think how a women takes care of herself says a lot. I would consider grooming to be big deal to be honest."

    "not shaving is not grooming. As for not taking care, well that's a matter of opinion too. In my eyes if you've decided to be hairy then it means you're either lazy or don't really care much about your appearance."

    "What difference does it make what I do? We're talking about women here. Women that don't shave their legs, armpits, whatever... In my opinion it is disgusting and in my opinion it is not taking care of oneself because it's not trying to look your best. It takes little effort and makes a big difference."

    I stated that I consider shaving to be grooming, and grooming to be part of taking care of your appearance and that in my opinion women with hairy armpits or legs does disgust me. It's a big turn off. And I'm not talking about stubble, I'm talking about proper hair. I just think it's gross to look at or touch.
    How would you feel if women starting telling men what they have to do to conform to society? Men who grow beards wouldn't be deemed disgusting or not taking care of themselves. Why is leg and underarm hair disgusting on women but not men?

    I just think the extreme reactions are ridiculous on this thread. My personal preference for women is no/little underarm, leg and genital hair. But I wouldn't call them disgusting if they had it. And I certainly wouldn't assume they don't take pride in their appearance or take care of themselves because of it.
    Why do I find it disgusting? Simple answer really... Because it's not my preference, it's the opposite of my preference. Everyone's entitled to a preference! A lot of women here find it disgusting too, I don't know why I'm being targeted out for an answer.
