I'm 13 years old (A boy) and my legs are well... really hairy for someone of my age (I'm white) and well I think they are too hairy, I have been thinking about shaving it off but I don't want to be considered "gay" at school? Any advice on how to decrease the hair on my legs without people noticing?Please and Thank you!. Created by andy. beauty-style-en - skin-body-en - other-skin-body-en

Shaving my legs?

Verified answer

i know a million superhottt guys that shave their arms and legs just bc they like the softness. its normal, everyone laughs and touches your legs for a second and then forgets it. but if youre too insecure just say youre doing it for sports/speed. but i wouldnt worry about it. esp if youre already good looking lol

If you have hairy legs you can't really shave your legs then were shorts and not have your legs noticable. Nanna is right though, when my brother was in high school he used to shave his legs because of the whole swimming thing.So if I were you I'd just shave my legs and tell everyone your on a swim team and your coach made you do it.

I don't think I've made since but good luck lol

Most of my female friends think that hairy legs are gross. But, I'm gay, and I think hairy legs are really sexy. Maybe it has something to do with narcissism because I have hairy legs too, but don't shave your legs because you think it will make more people think you're attractive. When I was in 7th grade and first got hair on my legs I hated it because it was different, but now I wish I had more hair on my legs because now I think it's sexy. Yeah..

Okay, guys should never, ever, ever shave their legs, unless they are getting a tatoo, obviously that area on their leg needs to be cleared. Besides that, if you're really that self conscious (I'm sure I've seen hairier legs before than what you are saying yours are like), just take some scissors and trim here and there, evenly, so it's not obvious that you did some trimming.

Note: Yes, may see some guys with shaved legs, but that will probably be because they're competitive swimmers, like on a swim team. Actually my best friend is on a swim team, but he doesn't shave his legs...whew...sorry but if he did...I don't know it'd be hard to imagine, and it'd be so awkward.

If you shave hair it grows back quick.. my suggestion is either do it during the winter when you have to wear pants or during the summer away from people from school or just shave and wear jeans for a week or 2

first off, what does being white have to do with hairy legs?

second off, i would not shave your legs. if you are worried about it you can get some hair bleach and bleach them so that they arent as noticeable. but i would not shave your legs being a 13 year old boy.

oh and btw its a myth that hair grows back darker and thicker after you shave it. its darker but not because it was shaved, its darker because sun was not exposed to it.
