I don't want to remove that hair necessarily. However, if my chest hair is something that "REALLY" bothers my girlfriend, I don't mind removing it.

I assume you grew up in a household lacking in empathy as you seem to genuinely question whether it would be inappropriate. Not only that but your lack of depth as that seems like such a shallow request. You gotta accept people for how they are. How does it affect you that she has arm hair? You merely don't like the sight of it for aesthetic reasons?
You should prioritize what really matters...though I suspect you are not even really sure what that is. Growing up in a household with poor and shallow moral character will have you questioning things like this for the rest of your life. I think you should work on your way of thinking before putting any more thought to getting your girl to wax her arms.

I must ask - why do you find it so unattractive now? was it there when you started dating her?
That being said, if it really bothers you that bad ask her --- don't be surprised if she gets upset though.
I know some people who wouldn't find it offensive and I know others who would be crushed or very angry. You know her personality --- how do you think she would react and is it worth it?

 Be willing to do something for her as well!
Keep in mind..its JUST HAIR. You accepted her for it before she became you gf!
I made a deal with an ex who asked me to get a Brazillian.
I said "Sure, but you first".
He stopped asking:)

I wouldn't shave my arms; however, if she doesn't like facial hair then I would gladly shave them. I think those two are similar (I don't like arm hair and she doesn't like facial hair).
My point is that I "can" keep my facial hair. But if she "likes" a shaved face, then I prefer to shave.

 I agree with what Eyes wide open says. Would you do the same? You probably would but I don't know, you might offend her. Or maybe not, I don't know her. :P

Depends on your girlfriend, does she have great self-esteem? How long has she been your girlfriend? Would you do the same for her?
