Okay first let me tell all yall "i aint got no hair" ladies...i am feeling a little hater-ish towards you at the moment
jk!
I do shave arms, legs, pits, etc. I am one hairy chic and could also braid my arm hair if I let it flow, I mean grow. It would waive in the wind, and I absolutely hate it. I have also waxed before but hate that pain, so shave it is and bye bye arm mullet.

Just thought I would add that at least my thick eyebrows are now in...

I have very little body hair, so I rarely need to shave anything (legs included).
My arms are never on that list.
Ditto Gaby.

I am kind of shocked at how many people do this. I've only known one girl to admit to doing it - it was a friend from when I was a teenager.
I am Italian with dark hair - and I am far from a girly girl. So legs and underarms are enough work for me. You won't see me do much more grooming than that.

I've never even considered shaving my arms. I shave my under arms though. And my legs.
Failure is success if we learn from it.

Ugh, this is a sore-spot for me. I've always been hairy - always. Didn't feel self-conscious about it till 7th grade gym class when it was brought to my attention - very loudly, very publicly - by some mean (hairless) girls who thought it would be fun to call everyone's attention to it during the co-ed dance segment. I will never forget how ugly that laughter was. I was called woolly mammoth, Chewbacca, and Cro-Magnon man ( because of the moustache). God, it hurt - a lot.
Teenage girls can be so extremely cruel.
Jolene (the cream bleach) became a weekly ritual for me, and as soon as I could afford Nair on a monthly basis, I bought it just for my arms.
When I got older, I did the home waxing thing.
A few years back, I bought myself an epilator and I use it religiously to this day. It was expensive, but it was worth every penny.
You hairless ones - consider yourselves very lucky. I so envy you.

I'm blonde and have blonde arm hair but it doesn't bother me. But if it did I would epilate it away not shave it. In the long run its less hassle as they don't grow back as fast as with shaving but you gotta get past that initial epilation as it's a bit OUCH!

I did, once. When I was 12. I am very fair skinned, and have fine, fair hair that covers 99.9% of my body. In the sun it just looks like I have an ethereal glow.
When I shaved my arms, my shoulders and the back of my hands still had that fuzz, so it just looked silly to me (I'm sure no one else even noticed). It didn't grow back any darker, but I can totally see what the poster said about "blunt ends".
For what it's worth, I also shaved my stomach, and tried to get the small of my back (it was the early '90s and belly shirts were all the rage). I didn't stop at the arms.

It's never crossed my mind. I'm fair-haired (though a fake brunette at the moment), and have little body hair, anyway.
An all-girls' school made me lazy even about shaving legs. Luckily, I can go weeks without really needing to. Not because I'm okay with hairiness--but because I've never suffered it. (We shan't discuss hormonal chin hairs; those are dispatched daily.)
But if I were a kept woman, I' d wax everything, just because I love being waxed. It gives me a nice dose of endorphins---without the angst of figuring out where to put the tattoo or what it should be. (Another process I love.)

Dear Lord, NO! This hairless craze isn't my thing. The older you get the more unwanted stray hairs start cropping up...and trust me when I say keeping track of what needs shaving, plucking, and trimming is like stamping out grass fires as it is.
