so I met this girl. she's a cyclist and we're going for a date tomorrow. a ride to a cafe in the peaks.

she's very very serious about cycling. so im thinking....

should I shave my legs?
:shock:

I feel like I should make a effort but I also like my (dark) hairy legs and dont want to change my 'image'/who I am. :roll:

not going to cover them up with warmers because it's going to be a hot hot day.

i mean..... I dont want to come across as some kind of novice :? I told her I was mad about cycling too.

what a dillema! :lol:

  • Be as you are, as you're happiest with yourself, so don't shave. Besides, if she thinks you ought to shave, I'm sure she'd be happy to do it for you if you ask her nicely. That way she'll feel in some small way that she'' made'' you like that.
  • well if I shave im just afraid of scaring her off - from what I read on here, some guys have freaked out there mrs' with it! she's a cyclist though..... she might expect it.

    tell her you're an audaxer and you need hairy legs for your trek up to the arctic circle which youre going to do that evening, that'll impress her, honest.

    Why not make your first date something other than a bike ride?

    for gods sake, SHAVE 'EM :D
  • ok.

    shaving time! :D

    may post pics. :shock:

    worst case scenario of having shaved legs is worse than the worst case scenario of having normal legs. well said homer j!

    she probably doesnt care anyway. :roll:

    Don't shave and tell her you've been considering trying it to see what she thinks. This is of course assuming you can keep up with her. If you can't then, shaved legs or not, it won't matter.

    Unless she's a fat munter with a moustache that will put her off straight away.

    The embarassment of the hairy legs would have been livable with but I'd keep quiet about being a tester.

    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.
