My Body Hair Story
Ah, so much for trying to make Saturday a computer-free day. Anyway, Last night’s dinner was funny. Apparently, one of mom’s friends has this weird thing for body hair on men. So during one of their gatherings, she (that friend) commented about the hair in my lower abdomen. The way mom described the dialogue was damn funny, but a little flattering. One of it was, “Does it go all the way…”. It was both embarrassing and appetite-spoiling. Mom suggested that next time don’t walk around the house without a shirt on when her friends come. My sisters laughed. Scary wei.
I’ve heard about how women see body hair - some like it, some find it disgusting. There was once I tried shaving that area near my navel (if you must ask, no I didn’t go any lower - I’m comfortable as things are!), because I thought that’d make my abdominal lines more clearly visible, especially after having been working out both at home and gym. But the hair grew back pretty quickly; and when it was still growing, the rough texture (of growing hair) was ugh, un-cool. Think I’m just gonna work harder to further bring out the lines rather than deliberately shaving the hair off.
It’s interesting to note how vain men of this generation have become (yes, I hate to admit that it’s just me).
OOT: Btw, remember this? Today I asked her if she wanted to watch Ninja Turtles (TMNT lent by Alex), to which she replied, “Hah? What’s that? Where?”. -__-” Like worlds apart la, we two.
