Girlfriend has slight upper lip hair?

Look close enough on any girl and they will have it. Unless they wax it. (WHICH HURTS)
Please don't mention it. It would really hurt her (i know from experience...) If you love her, why do you care anyway?

Wth at the responses :/
Its perfectly normal and as a girl, i van tell u its pretty common. I myself have little bits of hair on my upper lip sometimes and always make sure to shave it off just tell her to shave it off

Why can't they shave it? Most men never have a moustache, it really doesn't take long.

Loving someone doesn't stop you having preferences and finding things unattractive. If my girlfriend says "can you shave please" (well she just makes obvious hints really, but still) I don't say "YOU DON'T LOVE ME!" and run off crying. I could just as easily say "if you love him, why can't you just get rid of the hair"? Love doesn't mean having everything your way.

But it's not fair to try change someone because they don't suit your preferences or what you find attractive.
Go find someone else who does, rather than potentially making someone feel bad about themselves.

Shaving makes it come back thicker and darker, to be honest waxing is best. Women are more... self-conscious when it comes to looks, and you can easily just go and shave. we have to find specialist help to wax. (or DIY it which doesnt usually end well)

Well if the upper lip hair is important to her, that's fine, but I don't think most girls have it feel it's important to them, that it's part of their identity. This isn't like asking a girl to get a certain hair cut, or only wear dresses.



I just refuted that a few posts ago, but here's the link again- http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/hairgrow.asp Google if you want further proof, but it has been proved time and time again this isn't true.

I'm not saying it's something just to blurt out, you've gotta do these things tactfully.

It might not grow back thicker but it does damage the hair follicles.

I don't know if you're linking evidence, because the link isn't working. If that's true, why is it socially acceptable for men to be expected to shave?

Jesus Christ. Upper lip hair?

Woopdeedo. At least you have a girlfriend.

My upper hair lip isn't important to me but I (personally) wouldn't want someone telling me shave it when it's a natural thing on my body and you can barely see it (unless you come close) Maybe not to that extent but you're still semi trying to dictate what she does with her appearance.

Men have always had beards, and large amounts of facial hair. Only resently was the choice given to have it or not to have it. (eg, shaving) And also be able to afford it. i guess it's socially acceptable because we are used to men being strong and masculine and can put up with a few thick hairs.

Is that wrong? I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing a preference in an adult relationship. People buy their partners clothes, suggest hair styles and aftershaves/perfumes, this isn't unusual behaviour.

I wouldn't say anyone should "tell her to shave it" or "dictate" it to her, rather carefully let her know that this is a preference for you. Most people actually want to be attractive to their partners.



That's not true, going clean shaven has been around a very long time, you only need a sharp blade. Alexander the Great encouraged his men to shave before Jesus was around. And as we've already established, women have always had moustache hair.

Shaving my moustache has never caused me any real problems, it really isn't much of an effort.
