Do those techniques begin with a "get-acquainted" period (hairy sweet talk), like this?

Thanks to our society’s narrow standards of beauty, women are expected to have no body hair whatsoever (except, of course, on their head). But after being fed up with how much time it took to shave, one fitness blogger decided to throw away her razor and embrace her natural beauty instead.
In a YouTube video that has now been viewed more than 460,000 times, Morgan Mikenas revealed that she hasn’t shaved her legs or armpits in over a year!
“The purpose of this video is not to shame people who do shave,” Mikenas wrote in the video's info section. “I just want to speak on how it’s helped me become more comfortable within myself, and maybe inspire others to do something that makes them feel confident.”
In the 12-minute clip, Mikenas revealed that at around age 11 or 12, she was bullied for having hairy legs at gym class. She then went home crying and asked her mother to teach her how to shave.
“That’s when it all began,” she said.
Mikenas — who initially stopped shaving because “it just took so much time” — then went on to call out North American society’s ridiculous beauty standards.
After she started letting her body hair grow out last year, Mikenas recalled working in childcare where she took kids swimming once a week. Unfortunately, the children’s reactions to her body hair appalled her.
“I got these little kids who are in kindergarten and first grade harassing me and telling me, ‘Oh my god, you look like a man. You didn’t shave!’” she said. “This is the reaction I’m getting from little kids. What does that say if that is how these kids are being taught?”

One of the cruelest things a woman can do to a man is to sneak his razor, shave her legs, arms and whatever else, wash it off and put it back without telling him. You grab that razor to shave and it’s like shaving with a bus bumper. Agony!
Also, just because something is natural doesn't mean it's beautiful. For example, ticks are natural.
Which reminds me of 'She persisted.'
Female ticks also persist.
Which brings up a closing point.
Just because a cognition occurs to you and you have affection for the cognition (I'm speaking to you lefties from Boston and Cambridge) doesn't mean it means anything, and doesn't mean it's true. This is especially true when your ideas aren't really your own, and were placed in your head to manipulate you into believing you thought of them yourself ... and that they are good and also true ... just because you (think you) thought them yourself from your great well of virtue which you think somehow you dug and filled although would be hard pressed to say how and when.
head, eyelashes, eyebrows (emphasis on the plural on that last one). Anything else would turn me off big time. Guys are hairy, chicks should very much be the opposite IMO.
And I rarely smell like vinegar and rotting fruit. :-D
And we love you for it.
But we also know that sometimes...

Girls just want to have fun.
No body hair, no body lice.
It has gone in and out of fashion for the past few thousand years.
Grooming is necessary to have beauty.
Shave, don't shave. You aren't my kid and I don't care. But unkempt is not attractive.
That is SO wrong...
That’s just a few chinny-chin-chin hairs too far for me!
OMG, that chick could win a harriest legs contest with the contest open to both men and women!!
Is that what’s called a, “big blogger?”

Wow, she is super hairy, even for a guy.
I would not enjoy being that hairy. Shaving feels much cleaner.
Why did God put thorns on roses?
Perhaps He's teaching us that we have to accept pain and pleasure. More likely is that God has a sense of humor.
You are correct. The higher class ancient Egyptian women removed all of their hair with clamshell tweezers and waxing. Greeks and Romans removed body hair with similar methods. I have no doubt that hair grooming for health and appearance go back much further than recorded history.
OMG!!!
WTF!? Over!
LOL!!! Post of the day! (I see what you did there).
