What? I hope you're kidding. Every human being has hair all over their bodies. Women don't have the hormones to produce a LOT of hair on the chest area, but we definitely have leg hair! It's called shaving!

All humans have hair follicles on their legs and chest. About the only places on the skin that don't have follicles are the palms of your hands, soles of your feet and your lips. How thick the hair grows depends a lot on genetics and hormone fluctuations. Most women have very fine "peach fuzz" on their chest that is not noticeable. Men tend to have heavier hair on the legs/chest because of testosterone.

It's been awhile since I've been with a women, (not by choice by the way). But I think they do have hair in most of those places, Not so much the chest/breast.

Humans have a fine hair all over their bodies, except the palms of our hands, and the soles of our feet. The difference is how thick, dark, and noticeable it can be on men. Women have higher levels of estrogen, a hormone that helps control hair growth. Men have more testosterone, which will encourage hair growth. If you were to look at a woman who uses steroids, and she didn't shave/wax, etc..., she would have body and facial hair similar to that of a man.

it is a throw back from the olden days
way back when we all were covered with total FUR to keep us warm from the cold and protect them from attackers and animals from being able to just bite our skin
ans through evolution the total fur has gone away and left us with some hair here and there, men more then MOST females usually, but some female have a ton of hair every where too.
and most female have very fine hair here and there, some have a few black hairs popping up, just because..

be thankful we all still do not have all that BIG FOOT fur all over us

good luck
smile

Actually, like others have said before, our bodies, both male and female are covered in hair, but most of the time it is too fine to notice. It depends on your hormones, your family and ethnic background, etc. Women, just like men do have the hormone testosterone but it's not as concentrated. As women get older, and go through menopause, they lose some of their estrogen and do get hair in the strangest places. Through evolution and centuries, our roles have changed and our bodies evolved to adjust to those changes. One the first humans were totally hairy, both men and women....

because men and women are different

and...women do have hair on their legs, they just shave it off

the only guess that i have is that maybe it has something to do with evolution. we have hair covering our bodies from when we were cavemen and needed the insulation. men were the ones who hunted and need more insulation so maybe that is why they have more.

i know this is not relevant, but it proves my point a bit..
i researched goosebumps and the reason that we get them is beacuse of when we were harrier the goosebumps would cause the hair to stand up and create a pocket of air that insulted us.

Last time I check I did have hair on my legs but the estrogen keeps it from growing on my chest. Thank God.

We shave our legs and under arms otherwise there would be hair there. And hairy chest only happens to guys because we have different hormones (thank God).

Women and men both have the hormones testosterone and estrogen but in women the estrogen is higher and in men the testosterone is higher. The higher level of testosterone in men creates more hair which is why men are hairier than women.
