I only shave areas that are going to be exposed, and that only happens in the summer, the rest of the year I wear trousers.
I am very hairy, though, being of Italian+Spanish ancestry. And apparently I have some hormonal issues because I even grow thick, black hairs on my chin, which makes me feel so bad. I do remove the hairs on my chin with my tweezers, and I'm constantly picking on my chin in search for hairs (I think it's become a bit of a 'tic', I do it without realising even).
My husband says he doesn't care about my body hair, it's part of me, it's natural and he loves me attractive, no matter the hair. It doesn't make any difference to him. But I must admit that I haven't been able to get rid of this stupid social mandate and I feel quite unattractive when I'm hairy.
Anyway, after getting a few bad cuts (I'm very clumsy and it seems I can't handle my own body all that well), I decided to stop shaving. I use an epilator on my legs ( including my thighs, as I'm so hairy), I wax my armpits and trim my pubic area (which I do get waxed when I go to the beach/pool).
Other than that, I sometimes wax my facial hair ('beard', moustache and eyebrows), but I try to keep it under control with my tweezers. But, as of lately, I only take care of my 'beard'. I have too little time and too little energy.
Oh, and as others have mentioned: when I remove the hair on my legs, I just love how they feel and how the sheets and clothes feel against them.
