[quote=DOUGM12A ,12686]This is an interesting topic that I have seen discussed before. And it seems to be a not so uncommon topic. Virtually all of the males and females, non-Chinese and Amercian born Chinese, that post (or that I have heard talk about it)seem disgusted by the sight or thought of Chinese women with hair under their arms. It's not just that it's something different or not what they're used to but that it's revolting to them. I know 3 or 4 American-born Taiwanese girls that made HUGE deals about seeing women with hairy underarms when they visited China or Taiwan for the first time and they thought it was just awful. Yet they were always so proud of being Chinese/Taiwanese and wanted to learn Mandarin etc. and the "culture". I am always suprised that they did not know that custom and accept that things can be different. And never question why in some countries woman shave but instead expect women in all countries to abide by their norms. Since I grew up in Taiwan, then moved to USA 16 years ago, it does not have that effect on me and I have no problem with it. I still am caught off guard when I see a Chinese woman in USA (visiting I guess, or a friend/relative of my family) who has long thick armpit hair. When I am back in Taiwan I get used to it quickly. One of the prettiest women I know there always wears sleeveless and has a great amount of underarm hair (must be 3+ inches long and extra extra thick) very visible in the front and back of her arm when it is hanging straight down. She has always had boyfriends, is popular and never felt the need to shave or hide it (Though I would definitely tell her to shave if she visited the USA).[/quote]
