Armpit hair gel...strong enough for an American man but made for a European woman!

Well, if there's a bright center to the universe, it's on the
planet that it's farthest from.



You ready? You look ready.
Right now it's more or less that I have so little hair seeing how I'm not a hairy guy. I mean I don't even have facial hair. And on top of that I know this one girl who thinks it's manly and dead sexy. For the record, SHE'S HOT!!!!! I've also got a friend who is one of the hairest guys I know and he was getting out of control so that's why he shaved.

But I know many young professional women, not rural ladies, who pride themselves in being unshaven. For many it is a choice to go unshaven. For others, more from the east (where the wall has fallen away) are still unshaven by their choice.
american ways have crept into the european culture? so until the clever americans thought of shaving their armpits , poor lil' european women were walkin arround like chewbaka's? stop spreading your propaganda.....

many do.
i shave, now i've got used to it (the armpits, still), but not as often as i used to and not all places. when i have some pretty demands to respond to... i do it (as much) for her just as she does it (as much) for me. everyone wins. and i mean, integral shaving included. among other kinky games. hei, "Mister d'O" doesn't sound so bad.

And anyway, it obviously wasn't meant as a cuss, let alone 'propoganda'. Chill out.
why does everyone assume that just because you use a "bad" word ( like bullshit ) you're angry? i assure you i'm perfectly calm, slightly annoyed, but not angry....

Coolbreeze's a she!

i (almost) have. except in the North of Germany a few years ago, Netherlands and some Scandinavians, they all systematically do (you'll find a few exceptions here and there, especially among radicals). but only legs and armpits, of course. for the rest, one has to ask kindly... and it works too.

***EDIT***this bit was all wrong***EDIT***

I could understand you being annoyed by the occasional US habit of assuming inferiority in other nations, but i don't think this hair issue is an example of it.

'Propoganda' is the wrong word btw. It suggest deliberate government orchestration. Saying it's 'a misrepresentation' or something would be better.

That's why you come across as angry mate. That and the swearing .

Yeah, i realised. (You should've highlighted his as well though )

That's a pretty damned good survey . This could explain everything. North Western Europeans let their armpits flourish, while the rest impose strict restrictions on their armpits. I'm glad this is all cleared up .

Although things get messy once you reach this island. My experience of British women is: some do, some don't. But i might hang out with the odd radical .

sorry Golgot, she's not. she now lives in Europe. i don't think she'd be angry at me for divulging she's from the US. (i hope so she's not... )

proPAganda - "The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause."
nice try though.....

The point is: that word is applied to organised groups - normally governments - and normally ones with a nefarious/deceptive agenda. Unless there is some mass American movement to discredit europeans by suggesting they have very hairy armpits (and i'm not aware of one) then you've used the wrong word.

Your English is good mate. But surely you don't think there is an orchestrated attempt to 'propogate' the idea that Americans have superior underarm hair. If you do, then i think you're slightly paranoid.

As it is, i think you're using the wrong word. Nobody here is waging a deliberate and deceptive word war on Croatia's women. You dig?

well mate, it's a common perception in america that european women don't shave their armpits, and since the majority of american women actually do shave their armpits, one can assume that they find unshaved armpits "icky", and thus by stating that european women don't shave their armpits, or as i like to say, SPREADING THEIR PROPAGANDA, they are trying to make european women seem inferior and rediculous in some way....so i think i used the word correctly.....
