I have very pale skin so the hairs on my arms are a little noticeable, to me at least - they're not really dark, but because I'm so pale there's more of a contrast. But I would never shave them - I think arms would look a little weird without hair!?! They're just not a body part I would naturally think to remove hair from! Sometimes I get self-conscious about them, but then I think sod it. It's not in the same league as furry armpits or legs!
