That's why I voted 'other'. I've known many a swimmer and cyclist who went hairless - but my wife's arm hair is blond so I don't even see it.

I was shaving my arms there for awhile, because I loved the smoothness and I have dark hair, but I got tired of shaving them and when they start growing back they are really prickly. I hate hair on the body accept for my head and eyebrows and eyelashes, if I could get a full-body laser hair removal treatment I defiantly would! (:

Honestly, I only shave when I wear tank tops or I'm going to be intimate with my partner. I hate shaving - it's such a hassle.

\personally I preferto be natural. I have some middle eastern friends though that are quite self-conscious about bodily hair and shave/wax/laser their hair off their arms and pretty much everywhere else.

My hair on my arms is really light. So it doesn't effect anything.

I prefer shaved, not just on the arms but depending on the color and quantity, some hair can be OK.

I do not like hair on girl's arms or armpits for that matter. I don't mind if its in their vaginal region, but hair on legs, arms and armpits are a big turn-off.

I perfer them shaved on myself (and most women usually) but not on men. I actually let it grow out for almost 2 weeks while I was sick, for the first time in years, but I hated it.

Arms regular and pits shaved. I don't understand why you would shave your arms?

I usually just let my arms be. Once in a while I will wax them, but not very often. It mostly happens when I'm bored at work and decide to wax them to kill a few minutes (yeah it's a little wierd, but hey I work at a spa). My boyfriend likes how they feel when I wax them, but I don't think he feels too strongly about it.

I shave my arms, but I think it would be pretty weird looking if my hubby shaved his, lol. Men are supposed to be hairy creatures, lol.

I like to wax my arm hair. I don't really care if my partner does or not. The current boy does; I've gotten used to that, but it's not necessary.

I've waxed my arms once, and sometimes trim the hair, but I would never shave. I don't want stubble. I have the long, blonde Caucasian arm fluff, and I've made peace with it.

I am a woman, and I shave my arms. I HATE doing it. I seriously do. I miss the natural hair that once grew on my arms.

Back in high school, an ex told me I was really hairy (I was not hairy, whatsoever. all my pictures proved it). So of course, wanting to impress him and being embarrassed, I shaved my arms. I could never stop because it grew back thicker and coarser.

People always say shaving doesn't make hair grow back differently, but that's a damn lie. My arms look horrible if I don't shave. So now I waste an extra 20 minutes in the shower to shave my arms.

I'm getting them waxed soon for a few months to hopefully get the hair back to it's normal look so I can stop.

I like people to be happy with themselves, so whatever makes them feel good is fine with me. Personally, I don't do anything.

Nope - I prefer to be natural. I have enough to do without having to shave my entire arms.
Besides, I HATE hair growing back that have been actually shaved by a razor - NASTY!

I had some strange obsession with my arms having hair that started in the 3rd grade for me. I don't know why but I was extremely self conscious about hair on them! It was bad. I would always cover my arms and try to wear long sleeves only. I remember walking out of class and using my notepads and a jacket to cover them so people wouldn't notice! It doesnt bother me now, but I started shaving them in the 3rd grade and still do. I dont do it as often now, but it definitely grows less and finer now. Strange because usually shaving over time will cause hair to grow back darker and courser. Mine lightened and is finer. I have gotten over the obsession, but it feels prettier and cleaner on my arms when they're shaved. I usually do it a couple times a week.

I was made fun of a lot for it in school. Lol. Then, I finally met another person who done it and it was a male. I ended up whispering to him my "secret" after feeling his arms one day and noticing that he shaved his too. We became friends after that! Lol.

Shaved arms weird me out. And the thought of arm hair stubble? Even weirder.

I have fair skin and dark hair so I feel my hair is quite prominent. I shave but would prefer to wax more often. Brilliant having no arm hair for a month!

I am a man... and I like hairy men, so long as the hair isnt on their upper arms, shoulders, and back... but a hairy forearm is fine as long as it isnt a rug...

i shaved my arms because they feel so smooth and look much sexier. i prefer men that shave their arms as well, but in the end it really makes no difference

I am a woman and I like the hairy arms. I have never seen unbearably hairy arms and hopefully that day never comes lol

Armpit hair on a woman is such a turn off for me. That's a no, then...
