Erawan Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hmm... how can I say this... ok, it has come to my attention that a fair few ladies over here tend to neglect what I guess I took for granted as routine female grooming. Overly hairy legs, top lips and sometimes scarily enough, forearms (not sure if you should really address the latter one though... er... not heard of any practise of removing this area of hair). Has anyone any experience or tact ways of informing a friend or your ladyfriend of said 'issue/s'? I'm tempted to just say it, I have some bizarre notion that it might all be ok and they might not take it the wrong way. I might still smile with a full set of dentures and the pitch of my voice may remain unchanged... but then again, I would like to see another sunrise. So, what's the score?

I guess it's something that wasn't really brought to much attention among young Thai girls.. some of the girls felt I was very "farang" for shaving my legs. That was my generation though, I think the kids these days are growing up much faster and know a lot more about taking care of themselves than my friends and I did then!

ThaiPauly Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 IMHO it is down to the individual, and you imagine the insult and loss of (hairy)face if you said that to a Thai Lady. If you think she is Hairsuit and you dont like it, it would be better if she was your girlfreind to leave and find a cleaner faced model if you were that shallow. But a small ammount of facial hair especially on darker skinned girls is normal. When she says to you "I'm worried about my facial hair" then thats the time to get her off to the lazer treatment centre saying you had never noticed it, but now you come to mention it... Now if you went for a German Gal you would definatley know what you were getting ! So I say Live and Let live, we all have our defects, nobodys perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donna Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Many of my Thai girlfriends tell me that hairy legs are 'narak' and that they like them just the way they are. And these are girls that work in a beauty parlour, so they have access to hair removal treatments if they thought it necessary. Hair removal is easy in Thailand. Waxing, although painful, can give a good result, and can be done on any part of the body. It's not uncommon to wax forearms. How do you broach this topic? Hmm...that's a tough one. Maybe you could playfully tug her leg hairs when 'playing'? Maybe she will get the hint? But ultimately, is it THAT important? If you are suddenly looking for faults in your girlfriend after you have snared her, is it a sign that something else is wrong with the relationship? The hairs would not have suddenly sprouted after you formed a relationship, so why the change of heart? Maybe you have a fault (hard to believe, I know) that your girlfriend doesn't tell you about. And that's because she loves you on the inside, not the gift wrapping. She doesn't care if your back or bum is hairy, I bet. She has superfluous hair. You are being superficial.

mbkudu Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 All the Thai birds I've seen necked have had virtually no body hair barring a light touch on the cooch, armpits and maybe a few leg hairs. Nothing to worry about and certainly not enough to warrant shaving; smooth as silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Not a face thing at all in my experience, but Thai girls are just not fussed about it and Thai men dont seem to mind either. Since many Thai girls never wear bikinis they dont even make a bikini line, much less groom other parts of the nether region - but if you know how to make the suggestion sound interesting and thrilling (there are some obvious benefits to shaving) I dont think you will have a problem... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Other_Mac Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Since you made a token effort to pretend you aren't talking about your gf... Ladies shaving is mostly seen as a western thing. If your friend is fairly traditional and has no desire to appeal to farangs, then there's no reason for them to change. There's also no particular reason for you to make them feel self-conscious about it, so if you do bring it up, make sure you can do it in a way that just sounds like a neutral comment on the differences between Thai women and farang women. If she does want to appeal to farangs (even if only because she's a professional salesperson), then she may have an attitude of looking to you for tips and advice. Should be easier to mention, again just let her know that it's perfectly normal to have a bit of hair and most farangs and many young Thais do this. If she's your gf, you've got plenty of other advice. BTW, most methods of removal have the unfortunate side effect of causing it to grow back more vigorously than before. I mean of course it grows back, but it'll grow back faster and with thicker hairs. So if there's only a tiny bit, it might be best left alone, and this is true for many Thai girls' leg hair.
