I have hairy legs, not too much, but I wear shorts/three quarters and it's absolutely fine.

People laugh at men with hairy legs?

Trust me, you'd get far more stick if you shaved them!
Do people really make fun of you for it though? Guys generally do have leg hair, so unless you look like Chewbacca's unwanted child, there's nothing out of the ordinary?

I was thinking the same thing :redface: :eek:
Nobody bats an eyelid if your male with hairy legs but it's the opposite with women lol :confused:
I thought all men had hairy legs...
As has been said unless you have a Turkish level of hair going on don't worry about it. You could always just trim it, bit of manscaping, rather than the cyclist look.
You would get more stick if you shaved them. I think we all go out with hairy legs.

Did you know that it's okay for men to shave their legs? Athletes and sportsmen do it all the time. Contrary to popular belief, shaving your legs does not maker you less of a man. Grooming yourself and wearing what you want because it makes you happy is what makes someone a real man.

I'm a girl and I think it's totally fine for guys to shave their legs. But who cares about my opinion, this is about your body.
Do what makes you happy.

When I was walking through the street, a couple of girls directed 'gorilla' noises at me (last summer) and called me 'a hairy ****', which was what worried me. Now I know people don't think it's a big deal, I'll go out in shorts and hope I don't get any comments.

A small minority of people are idiots, ignore them.

Yeah, I know, it still hurts though, tbh.

It's considered normal for guys to let their leg hair flow free and display it in public.

Those girls are idiots, that's all.

Don't let the minority change your perspective on things.

There's no big deal with shaving? But still do what you want..

If you look like Chewbacca, then maybe think about doing something.

Anything else, grow a backbone.
