This really pisses me off, if you go into a store, you will notice that there are just as many female razors as male ones, I mean do women really need razors just as badly as men because the last time I checked, razors were for shaving facial hair which only men have, so why do women need razors just as badly as men.  

Did you flunk biology class? Because it sure sound like you did.

There are 3 areas woman like to shave:

1. legs

2. underarms

3. privates

I will write this using Star Wars analogies so you can understand it better because I know you’re not into this stuff:

1. Although they’re not as focused on as the boobs or ass, nice legs are nice to have on a girl and are like an added bonus, think of it like if they released the original Star Wars trilogy on Blu Ray and add the Boba Fett segment as a bonus, Boba Fett is like the legs, but they’re not nearly as much of a bonus if they’re hairy. Overall though, women focus on this area more than men care which makes believe that lesbians really like this area, but that’s getting past the point.

2. I couldn’t care less about this, girls just do it because they think men care about it.

3. This one is the main reason, having a shaved pussy is important and if yours is hairy, it turns men away, think of a shaved one like the original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars and the hairy one as the 1997 Special Edition, the hair strands are like the added CGI effects, like Han no longer shooting first and the CGI dinosaurs blocking the way in the scene where Luke’s riding the sandcrawler.

Some women shave cause they like not having body hair. Males opinons don’t have to factor in.

Like how some guys shave their face because they don’t like hair on their chin. It isn’t always to impress some lady.

I, me, mine had laser hair removal (seriously if you have the money do it, oh God do it- hundreds of hours have been saved in my life by not having to shave) so I rarely have to shave.  

I can attest to laser hair removal being great, but I would never recommend it to anybody because it is torture. 

I think the amount of women that shave just for men is the minority. It is socially unacceptable for girls to have leg/armpit/back/stomach/facial hair, so people who do not follow the social norm of shaving are seen as having a lack of care for their appearance. If I knew I wouldn’t be judged for it, I would never shave anything, but that’s not how life works.

When did you get it done? Some of the new machines are brilliant and you can have both your legs done in about 40 minutes with no pain/redness afterwards

 

I have really dark hair and light skin so I was perfect for laser hair removal and the only painful bit I found was my underarms because you could hear your hair being burnt off and you could smell it too (it’s rancid by the way). 

It was only uncomfortable for the 5 minute my underarms were being done and they were fine afterwards just a bit sensitive. 

 

And I agree with women almost needing to be hairless beauties by society (anything that isn’t hair on your head, eyebrows or eyelashes needs to go!). Sure it’s only been in the last 100 years that women’s hair has been thought of as “disgusting” and needing to be removed.

I  remember going to Italy and practically none of the women shaved their armpits or legs, I almost shouted a few “you go girls” while I was there but I managed to contain myself ahdn_george_08.

Shaving isn’t as weird as piercings. I don’t get the appeal of inflicting wounds and shoving bits of metal in the wound to stop it from healing.

Thanks, except LPD and ASJ implied that most women don’t shave their privates, really like the Star Wars analogies though, never would’ve thought to compare pubic hairs to special edition changes.

Maybe you should try posting more.

^ I did not imply that most women don’t ladygarden. I don’t know if the majority do or not (and frankly I don’t really care) because I don’t really ask every woman I meet to show me her crotch while I question if she waxes or shaves. 

 

Now can we move onto something else that isn’t genitalia please 😛

I have my ears pierced (the regular tiny stud piercing in the lobe).

I’d never get anything else though, I am not a fan of facial piercings and I think very few people can pull them off. 

 

I’m very basic when it comes to any body modifications, I’d never get gauges or tattoos and only have my ear lobes pierced.

You know what really pisses me off, double EP’s. There a waste, why make a double EP when you could do one of these things.

1. Release it as a 12″ EP, may sound like a waste of vinyl, but considering maxi singles exist, this makes more sense

2. Release it as a 10″ EP, makes the most sense

3. Cram it into a single 7″ record, may seem impossible but considering there are 12″ LP’s with over 30 minutes per side, it is possible to get at least 30 minutes of music on a single 7″, 15 minutes per side

Let’s take the most popular double EP, The Beatles 1967 Magical Mystery Tour , and show you how it could be reduced to one record:

Side A: (9:56)

Magical Mystery Tour 2:48

Your Mother Should Know 2:33

I Am The Walrus 4:35

Side B: (9:06)

The Fool On The Hill 3:00

Flying 2:16

Blue Jay Way 3:50

Total Time=19:02

Very plausible for a single 7″ record if you ask me

Maybe you should try posting more.

Sorry, just to nitpick: Blue Jay Way goes for 3:55, not 3:50. But I must say, MMT should have been released as an official LP, not an EP.

Thing I don’t get is, why is earlobe normal to create an open wound but it is suddenly weird if it is anywhere else.

You’d have to play the 7″ at 33rpm to get that much music on a disc, but the sound quality would suffer significantly – fidelity deteriorates the closer you get to the centre of the label (so 12″ is better than 7″), and having a slowly spinning disc would make the problem even worse.

Read up on inner groove distortion. This explains it better than I can: http://www.soundmattersblog.co…..planation/

A 10″ EP would have made more sense for MMT, but they weren’t too popular in the 60s and might have been harder to market. And a 12″/45rpm EP might have just highlighted how few songs there were.

And when did it become fashionable to wear small truck tires in one’s ears? Did I miss a meeting?

Although, this guy seems to have found a practical use for his gaping atrocity…

Weird is a relative term, I guess. I wouldn’t do it only because I’ve seen too many old men with old tattoos that just look sad, pathetic and wrinkly. No thanks. Zag does have a cool one on her ankle. It features her horse and incorporates a pet adoption symbol – the one with the paw print on the palm of a hand. It’s quite impressive. The tattoo artist had a lot of fun helping her design it.

Thanks for replying and you’ve got some good points there, but for your claim about how 10″ EP’s weren’t common, Magical Mystery Tour was the only double EP released in 1967 and on top of that, The Beatles were well known for thinking outside of the box, so that’s a weak claim. Also, if they chose to let the quality deteriorate at the end of each side, it would work well for the outro of I Am The Walrus .

While there may have been a few, what would become known as, “maxi singles” in the ’60s (and I don’t know if there was any) as a format it did not emerge until the ’70s, @HMBeatlesfan. The same with 12-inch singles, which I remember starting to be released in the second half of the ’70s.

The 10-inch might have been a way to go, but did EMI have the facilities to press and make sleeves for the numbers needed for a Beatles release.

You make the point about them being able to think outside of the box. Too true. And they did, they came up with a double-EP whose gatefold sleeve also acted as the cover of a book. Something that hadn’t been done. Thinking outside the box.

That you’re not keen on the solution they came up with to release the six MMT songs in the UK doesn’t mean they were not original and innovative in the package they came up with.

I owned the Capitol album first, I far prefer the EP for its packaging.
