Well, I'm sorry, but all the men I know prefer shaved legs, including
my husband (sigh), but seem willing to tolerate the hair when I
emphasize that my time is important to me and I have better things
to do. That's why I was looking for a bit of support from others.
Anyway, I'm glad to know that there exist people such as yourself
who do not find it a difficulty.

Before you men out there start giving your opinions, let me say that
I have already had one positive response to my original message, and
actually my father is an exception. To be more precise, I should
have said "all the men who are contempories of mine, and close friends"
as I don't normally discuss this with random people (until now).
