Why did you have to point that out? :(

I
had to point out my underarm hair! I didn't want my photo to deprive you
entirely of your cherished image of me as a "buck-toothed, hairy feminist lesbian in an oversized--striped, wasn't it?--jumper." ;) That would just be cruel!

I dated a Muslim and broke up with him simply due to my freedom being tarnished by his traditional ideals. He tried to start telling me who I could see, where I could go and then expected me to ask PERMISSION to go places with others.
Ridiculous no?
Anywho, thank you for your comments, I appreciate you saying that I'm attractive because there are some who might think I'm trying to cover up who I am by wearing make up, but to be honest I think it completes me.
I adore your cheekbones in particular!!!

Completely ridiculous, Vanilla! I dated a Turkish man (though not Muslim), and all was great for the first year. Then I started to feel more and more as if he disapproved of me. He'd say (knowing I walked places at night), "If a woman walks at night and gets raped, then it's her fault," for example. Your ex sounds extremely overbearing. And I agree make-up can accentuate features, not really hide them. Except for zits. It hides those! :D
My cheekbones are definitely getting more pronounced with age. When I'm 80, I'll probably look like Edvard Munch's "The Scream."

But...I *had* trimmed! :(
Ha ha...just kidding. I simply prefer my bushes to be wild rather than sport the suburban manicured look:

I know, I know! Sometimes I warn people sitting next to me, if they notice something crawling around their neck, just to hold still while I unwrap my hair from its stranglehold on their jugulars.
But now I'm curious: I remember those chops you sported as a youngun. You strike me as someone who might have a heavy dose of good Italian-hair-growing genes in him. So how long is *your* underarm hair? I don't know why people get so weirded out by underarm hair. It's kind of like having two kittens living in your armpits! :laughing: What could be weird about that?

So...Muslims have strict traditions. Therefore, you're not shaving your arm pits.
You know folks, and I say this to everyone, its ok to be reasonable sometimes. It was hard for me when I left college too.

Reasonable? Reasonable as in drag a sharp blade over your delicate underarms every day, occasionally causing bleeding nicks, just because...other people do it?
HA HA HA HA!
