Over three-quarters of women are turned off by this male grooming habit

Do you agree?

In a time where giant hipster beards are all the range, it’s no surprise that many women like men that aren’t clean shaven.

Last month, one study proved that women are more attracted to men with beards than those without, and even consider them a better option as a long-term partner.

But a new study has shown that shaving certain areas is a bit of a deal breaker to most women.

A survey by Women’s Health asked females what they thought of males who shave their legs.

Over 49% said that they aren’t a fan of shaven legs on a man selecting the “It’s weird. Guys shouldn’t touch their leg hair!” option, and a further 28% of women felt that while smooth legs aren’t ideal, they don’t mind men keeping it neat selecting the option which said: “I don’t like clean shaven but I do appreciate a man who trims leg hair down.”

The other 22.2% answered, “It’s awesome. I love a man with clean shaven legs.”

Interestingly Men’s Health also asked the same question, which was answered presumably by mostly men. The results found that over half of men said that they would never shave their legs but over 30% said that they would give their legs a trim, only 15% of men said that they frequently shave their legs.
