If you cant do anything ignore the little voice of peer ridicule. be yourself you can then see what its like to let another free in your company. thats the power of a connection. To be honest your problem is a shallow one. attracion lasts three day, it is the within not the waxed of which counts. its you who has the problem with a normal female trate. shaving. Mate, at least she shaves!!!

Talk to her. Ask her how many other women does she see, or know who shave in public? Then explain that is why she gets " negative " attention. Really, its no big deal, and she is the one who will be criticized, mainly by other women. If you know her girlfriend,or sister or mother, mention it to them, and ask them to talk to her.

 Tell your girlfriend that you love her smooth legs but have never seen anyone shaving in public before. Some people don't mind breast feeding in public (I don't mind it)some people clear their throats very loudly and will find different reactions from viewers to this. Although you love her inhibited style you were embarrassed. You also felt defensive about people's reactions to her which you noticed. You would therefor prefer it if she did not do it with you there in case you became defensive and uncomfortable enough for it to spoil your lovely time with her. Tell her anyway that when sunbathing the skin can become sensitive and if shaved near all the sand and salt, can rash.

Some people are clueless/ or not in the way they affect others. If asking her nicely not to do it in front of you hasn't worked then step it up a bit. You can refuse to go to the beach with her until she has shaved her legs first. Be clear on how it makes you feel. If she disregards your feelings on the matter and does it anyway... get up, remind her again how it makes you feel and walk away. Sometimes pointing things out and leaving is enough. If she really cares what you think and how it makes you feel she'll consider your request and shave at home. Shaving your legs in public is just plain weird. If she is a great girlfriend other than this your gonna have to pick your battle and decide if your concern is worth it or not.
