if a man prefers that a woman should shave her legs, there is probably a question for that somewhere. but you can still prefer it and not expect her to be obliged. it's basically asking whether it is an absolute sticking point or not - a dealbreaker. if it isn't a dealbreaker, it seems like a "no" would cover it. and if a person is unsure what "obligation" means, they shouldn't answer the question perhaps.


But even a dealbreaker isn't the same thing as an obligation. A guy could go "women don't have to shave their legs, but I wouldn't date one who doesn't".
Extroversion is a dealbreaker for me, but that doesn't mean I believe people are obligated to be introverts.

true. the question is really more useful at weeding out people who don't see women as allowed to make decisions about their own bodies. for me, that would be the dealbreaker.


A lot of these questions seem to reveal a lot about the person giving an answer and whether or not they see others as allowed to make decisions about their lives or bodies.

Thus revealing that their self applied label of "nice" guy isn't accurate.

This was too good not to repost! Someone responded to the above question with:

Women have choices. Shaving is not obligatory. Women can wax, gnaw, pluck, scold, sear, shear, suck out, tear out, mow, scratch, plug, trim, trim with a hedge-trimmer, or blast out with dynamite all their hair they want to.

:lol:


At least that person is honest about not seeing women as free to do what they want with their bodies. :D

While shaving her legs should not be mandatory, refusing to date someone who does not shave, does not turn one into this dreadful internet stereotype.

See how much excitement the word "obligated" has stirred up?

Any man who fails to READ the question and understand what "obligated" means/implies almost deserves the barrage he'll receive for it.
Almost. ;)

I'm more likely to worry about not having shaved my legs than the person I see

You don't have to ask 'the leg shaving question' to suss out a person with body control issues
- they are usually the type who go for overly attractive women in the first place, are into fitness
and want their partner to be slim ie they want a trophy girlfriend to show off to their friends

I'm not on this type of person's radar anyway so I'm thankfully free of them!

They're the type who'd moan if their girlfriend put on a bit of weight and therefore may well
disappear completely if she got pregnant ie no good as long term partners

Yes it is :)

I certainly only look for smart people and they need to be witty too - I find that's where many fall down - they often lack wit

Actually this is how I answered that question:

---
How much can intelligence turn you on?
A lot!
A bit.
Intelligence does nothing for me either way.
Intelligence turns me off.

Explanation:
Intelligence is attractive, but I don't know if it "turns me on" as such...
---

HEAPS of people answer "A lot!"
