Panties and a Shave

I am beginning to think that shaving my legs before a date has become a jinx. For many women, including myself, shaving legs before a date can be ritual. But perhaps it is this very ritual that jinxes any possibility of taking the date home or even wanting to see this date again. On those occasions I don't have time to shave nor put on those perfectly cute panties, the chemistry is just right and then I am faced with some poor guy rubbing stubble and finding me in granny panties. (sorry for the heterosexist rant - but I can only speak from my own experience). I try to think to myself that no dude even cares if he finds stubble and briefs, after all I am naked and they are about to get laid. Maybe this is what the lesson needs to be for all dates - if you find stubble and ill-fitting panties it's simply because taking you home was exactly the plan.

And what is the male equivalent? Do guys think about their stubble? Do they think about which boxers or briefs to wear? I don't know of any woman that has been completely bummed after taking a guy home and finding that he is commando. Smell yes, tightie-whities, no. But none of us are happy to find stink, so that doesn't really count. I guess I could ask all those ball-shavers - do they think about their stubble. Do they give themselves a nut wax before going out? But then how many woman really care about stubble on scrotum? I haven't heard of any tongue injury's due to "stubble that could kill" on balls before. Although that term is definitely used about legs and facial hair. I am guessing that if i lament about male facial stubble i could possibly get censored, so i will leave that to everyone's imagination.

I do have to wonder though, if there was an impact on women when the 5 o'clock shadow was in style. I wonder if there was an increase in visits to the doctor for stubble burn. I can only imagine those visits to the doctor - "what we have here is a terrible abrasion. I will be prescribing you some antibiotic cream. The gillette razors are for your male partner which can be picked up in the pharmacy".
