Girls, why do you shave your armpits- when most guys do not bother to shave? Social norm?

@SW-User Who decides?

@SW-User So guys are allowed to smell bad?

@SW-User What does smell have to do with it ? It doesn't mean unwashed.

@bijouxbroussard the hair can trap odor... I am just giving an explanation as society sees it,that was the question

@SW-User But men don't think [b]they[/b] smell bad for not doing it.

@bijouxbroussard they can after a long day of work...

@friendinneed have no idea you asked about social norms?

@SW-User Then technically, it would make more sense for [b]men[/b] to shave, wouldn't it ? Since men are more likely to be involved in physical labor than women and women have less body hair, generally...

@bijouxbroussard Very good answer!

@bijouxbroussard not making a case just answeing about social norms.
Both sexes stink after sweating, I suppose.

@friendinneed but then is it sexists to say men work harder? LOL
This could go on all night...I never knew underarm hair was such a hot topic, to be honest.
Shave or don't the question asked about social norms and I gave one possible reason.

@SW-User Thank you for your answer.. I appreciate it.
