Don't they realize it's nasty?

Answer 1

I don't know it one of them questions that only their sick minds can answer.
Its grouse and wrong on so many levels though.
Get a razor or wax for them if you know anyone that has immediatly ASAP.
its worse when your eating and you see it turns your stomach.

Answer 2

It's only nasty to some people.

When a woman reaches around 30 her estrogen levels begin to drop and if she's got skin that's sensitized to testosterone AND has moderate to high testosterone levels, your hormone balance shifts towards testosterone-dominated.

Most guys are OK about women with, for example, a slight moustache.

If a woman is going to do something about it, then there isn't a simple answer.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) her body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) her body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in her bloodstream.

She should steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees her against the light she'll look as if she has a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

Answer 3

For some people it's a culture thing. I once had a co-worker who was African-American and she mentioned that some guys find that and other body hair sexy. Also, I think there are alot of people who don't know how to fix the problem even though there are several solutions...waxing, bleaching, threading, and permanent hair removal which can be expensive.

Answer 4

I think they're not aware of how bad they look, because usually they can be seen under the sun light, and I think those people don't look at their face under the sunlight. I usually look at a mirror just in front of the window and I try to take off every bit of facial hair as I could.
