I also stopped bothering a while ago. I was living in the Middle East so I rarely let my legs show completely anyway and I’ve got light hair. It gets really really long though. I stopped because I was curious to see how long it could really get. I also stopped because I have just turned 50 and men don’t have to try to look prepubescent their whole lives. They grow up and they grow hair. Why should women need to pretend we’re still pre-teens? Especially at my now mature age of 50?? It’s stupid! It not like without leg hair people will mistake me for a 15 year-old!! Acceptance: yes. For me it’s acceptance of being a mature adult woman!
