It's normal. It's like choosing whether you wanna be bald or not.

It's not abnormal... though not many people do it. Not even many women shave their arms...

I thought it was more common for athletes or bodybuilders. I don't care for it myself, so hairy arms it is.

Sure it's normal. How do you think Robin Williams got those hairy arms?

Ya I'd say its normal, but I wouldn't waste my time doing it, unless I was a swimmer.

No, definitely not. I don't think I've ever known anyone who shaved their arms - not even women.

I used to shave my arms back when I first started to have to shave my legs. I don't do it anymore, though. I hardly have any hair on my arms anyway, and the hair that I do have is very very light in color.

it wouldnt be real hot for a woman to have hairy arms for a man, id find it pretty sissy to shave ur arms, unless you have very hairy arms and feel concious about it, then sure or do u mean armpits? then id say basically the same goes for that ;)

I only ever met swimmers who did this. What sport do you participate in, if you don't mind my asking?

Why would you want to shave your arms? That seems rather pointless.

I think it's mostly swimmers that do it. I think it's weird if guys do it that aren't swimmers.

I know swimmers do...but even most women don't shave their arms...I think it looks better than completely no hair

I do it. I think it makes my arms look more feminine. Girls shave their legs, why not their arms?

:x tell that to some girl I know, she's very nice looking but her hairy arms are distracting :lol:

I understand it's her choice but it just looks nasty, especially if the hairs are dark black

It's far from common but I wouldn't say it's abnormal. I do it because I just don't really like hair and it isn't much of an inconvenience for me.

Depends. Whatever you think feels better, looks better. Its all a personal opinion, alot of "Manly Men"(idiots) think its girly to shave your arms, but thats BS, same with legs.

I did it to try but I don't think it's common. But it shouldn't matter..
