i felt the same way with my boyfriend... but now we are not together anymore and i feel so wonderful growing it out. I play soccer for my school team and its funny to see what all my friends say... no one really has the same ideals as i do.
I don't think I could stop shaving my legs; I just like the way they feel shaved. I have wanted to try not shaving the underarms. My SO would die. He was shocked about me deciding to get dreads, I don't think the poor guy could handle hairy armpits right now. Maybe I'll "forget" to bring a razor when we go camping. lol
