Yeah...I was going to post that my eyebrows remind me of his, but I forgot. That's why it seems so random...since I'm a guy, I really don't know what the hell to do about it.

I would say that my brows are the only thing on my body that is really attractive about me.
I have a very clean, arched brow, and I have never had to pluck them, or shave them, etc. etc. If I want more of an arch, all I really have to do is brush them upwards, and that's it.

i just ignore mine. they're blonde (like the rest of my hair) so fairly inconspicous. i'm also lucky enough to have a naturally arched shaped so they can look sophisticated effortlessly. hehe

I pluck the middle bit & pluck underneath to make an arch.When I was a kid one of my eyebrows was longer than the other.I had a sort of half-monobrow thing going on.

What should I do with my eyebrows?

Clean them...Tweeze out all the stray hairs, careful not to over-tweeze, and clean your uni-brow. There you go, I think that's what guys are really supossed to do if they want to do they're eyebrows. It depends on the guy really, so why don't you post a pic and we could all give you ideas about what to do !

Unless you can shave them every single day, prickly little groths will appear. If you decide to stop (for any reason) the hair will sometimes grow out curly
::shutters::
One of my friends had strait, short, soft blond hair, she shaved it all off and then dcided to grow it back. It came back brown, curly and thick...disgusting. Just warning you...arm shaving is a pain in the ass and not worth it.
On another note, if your hair grows fast, your arms will be prickly...ew.

What you mean to say was: Chupadora de hombres. Woman who sucks men.

This just proves that you speak Spanish as poorly as you do English, basically, that you are a moron, not just someone who is just learning English. I was really hoping for that. I hate to think there is yet one more intelectually challenged person out there that I personally know of.

Not necessarily. I have been shaving mine since I was 16. Not that they were very hairy; I have very dark hair and light skin so I hated the contrast. I tried bleaching for a while but it burns me. Anyways, I forget to shave for a week and the hair isn't prickly; no one ever even notices. Wasn't it also exposed as an old wives tale that shaving makes it thicker? I've grown mine out just to see and in 6 years mine haven't gotten thicker. I guess it could happen but it's not always the case...

I shave my arms, but I don't seem to have a problem with it getting any thicker. But sometimes I DO have problems like when it gets prickly. It doesn't usually happen but it does when my arms hate me for hurting them !!!

Maybe hair removal cream would be safest for anyone who's not too sure if it's a good idea.

I'm lucky in that I have naturally well shaped eyebrows. I just have to pluck the few strays now and again. I usually have to darken them, because they are mostly a very pale blonde (which never really made sense to me since I am naturally a redhead).

I also remove the hair on my arms. I started about a year ago when I started the sittings for my sleeve. The hair on my arms makes the tattoo look horrible, so I removed it. I use a dipilatory on my arms, although I don't recommend it for everyone. If you have sensitive skin, make sure you do that patch test they recommend, even if you use a dipilatory elsewhere. A friend of mine tried it as well and she had a horrible reaction to it on her arms, even though she'd used the same product on her legs for years. As far as there being any difference in the re-growth...I haven't noticed any. It's not even prickly if I get lazy and let it go for a week or so.

Interesting

That's odd...maybe it was just her than. Although I guess shaving is better than waxing. That's very weird though. Wonder she had some genetic mutation? Well, if you DO decide to shave your arms, good luck with it, and pray that they don't become hairy and creepy things ^_^

Shaving does not make hair grow back thicker. Shaving only cuts off the hair at the surface; it doesn't alter the hair follicles. Therefore, how could it possibly make the hair grow back thicker?

I have been shaving my arms for about 10 years now. Even if I let the hair grow for several days, it just feels like fuzz. It's no thicker or coarser now than it was 10 years ago.

I don't understand why some people think shaving one's arms is weird, but shaving one's legs is not only acceptable but expected. Leg hair is just as natural as arm hair, and smooth arms are just as unnatural as smooth legs. Why the double standard?

I pluck my brows almost daily, to maintain some shape and restrain the madness. Someday, If I just gave in, I could be one of those old fellas with the wild, bushy brows that grow halfway up to forehead.

My girlfriend asked if I dyed my brows black. Maybe I should thin them as well as shape.
