First noticed it in some Youtube show where a bunch of guys were sitting around talking, one of them in shorts, and I was like wtf dude shaves his legs. Had never even though of the whole thing but with a video shot in a way where half of the screen was dedicated to their legs.. there it was, impossible to ignore. And once becoming aware of the phenomenon I've paid more attention to it, and it seems like everyone shaves their legs. Except some of the women. And me. But I will take your advice and not do it, but less as a statement of masculinity, and more because, well, can't be arsed...
Getting a few inches of snow today finally. Next wed will be 60F in the forecast! 18F tonight!
Yeah heavens are an open line for us. Just keep the connection and dedicate your life to living for the Father. Humble yourself in His sight, and he will lift you up.
Jesus gave us the keys to heaven. Abundant life in the Father. Guess we'll figure the rest out when we get to the other side. Press on, for upward call of God for your life , he who endures to the end will be saved.
We are surely able to overcome all adversity with God's help. But behold, He brings adversity on all flesh.
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
And let the hills hear your voice.
2 Hear, O you mountains, the Lord’s complaint,
And you strong foundations of the earth;
For the Lord has a complaint against His people,
And He will [a]contend with Israel.
3 “O My people, what have I done to you?
And how have I wearied you?
Testify against Me.
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
I redeemed you from the house of bondage;
And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O My people, remember now
What Balak king of Moab counseled,
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From [b]Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
That you may know the righteousness of the Lord.”
6 With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
[c]The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love [d]mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Wisdom shall see Your name:
“Hear the rod!
Who has appointed it?
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness
In the house of the wicked,
And the short measure that is an abomination?
11 Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales,
And with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 For her rich men are full of violence,
Her inhabitants have spoken lies,
And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 “Therefore I will also make you sick by striking you,
By making you desolate because of your sins.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied;
[e]Hunger shall be in your midst.
You may carry some away,[f] but shall not save them;
And what you do rescue I will give over to the sword.
15 “You shall sow, but not reap;
You shall tread the olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
And make sweet wine, but not drink wine.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept;
All the works of Ahab’s house are done;
And you walk in their counsels,
That I may make you a [g]desolation,
And your inhabitants a hissing.
Therefore you shall bear the reproach of [h]My people.”

God Pleads with Israel

Punishment of Israel’s Injustice
9 The Lord’s voice cries to the city—Wisdom shall see Your name:
“Hear the rod!
Who has appointed it?

And the short measure that is an abomination?
11 Shall I count pure those with the wicked scales,

Those women are from France.First noticed it in some Youtube show where a bunch of guys were sitting around talking, one of them in shorts, and I was like wtf dude shaves his legs.

I'm aware of the stereotype but not sure where it comes from. Actually one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen was a French girl from the HR department of a company I used to work for. And like beautiful in a hyper-feminine way. Probably it's some WW1 era safety razors common in America but not yet in France left doughboys on leave unimpressed origin myth.

Now that you mention it. Not with the legs but the beard.. Aftershave! It's mainly alcohol, dries things up instead of moisturizing? But it kills bacteria. So is it smart, or is it not. And most of them smell terrible. But maybe the smell is attractive to women, probably not though.
