I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!
Pants are cool and all, but having to shave almost daily just to keep up appearances is worse. Women can go ages without shaving their legs (some don’t even grow hair on their legs, so they don’t even have that), and nobody will notice. For a guy, you’re basically a bum off the street if your facial hair growth is like 2 or 3 days old. You might have that sweet spot where a day or two of growth looks “rugged”, but it only lasts for a few minutes and only in the right lighting, then you somehow cross over into looking like a pathetic alcoholic.
Ooh yeah shaving can be really brutal on some guys with sensitive skin too. A nicely trimmed beard seems like the way to go, although most guys have to shave the edges to keep it looking tidy I think.
Every woman I know has to shave their legs daily to keep them looking smooth. Maybe if you’re really blonde it’s not as visible? The only ways to get long lasting hair removal are painful and expensive - waxing, electrolysis, laser.
