I don't shave them because there is no need. My body hair sparse and invisible (with the exceptions of a few hairs, which I pull out out of boredorm) My legs are naturally smooth and hairless (looking).
O_o My family has sparse body hair (even my dad and my uncles, besides facial hair) but my oldest sister has wild curly leg hair and noticable arm hair.
YESSSSS!! I am!! And unlike some people - my hair is fairly obvious. I'm going on 2+y ears of not shaving them.
I do not shave them because I believe women should have a choice, just as men do. Unfortunately, in our society, women don't really have a "choice". If they choose not to shave their legs, they will be ostracized for it heavily, even though it is something completely natural.
I am proud of my legs, but it has not been without some consequences. Mainly, none of my SO's have never really agreed with my choice. I'm actually part of a community on LJ where people don't shave, and they are very supportive.
Okay, I'm rambling. I was just really excited to see this question in the community. If you're thinking about doing it, you should. I wish there were more girls like me so I could get something other than funny looks from all my friends :(
Well, I've never shaven my legs - well, maybe just this once when I was a juvenile. AND YES, I'm like you too. Why should women shave their legs? Why should legs - esp. women's - be all silky smooth and fair?
Aquarian girl with 75% unshaved legs here. My legs are only shaved from just below the knee, to the ankle, and only on the front of my calf. So I suppose my legs are 75% unshaved because I'm lazy. :P
I just reread my comment and realized what a funny image that painted. xD I guess I should mention that my leg hair is hardly noticeable everywhere except the front of my calves where it grows in black.
I'm similar to you..only below the knees, and really just the front, the hair there is in the back is so fine you can't even feel it, and the stuff in the front only gets shaved once or twice a month, if that.
I shave maybe once a month. my hair is blonde and not really noticeable on my thighs. I shave below the knee when I notice it. I prefer the look of a sleek leg. I'm all for choice in the matter but no monster legs for me. lol
