Are You Normal?

I look good on the outside, but it's all a sham.

I have a pretty face, nice hair, and a good body. A lot of guys ask me out, and I would like to have a relationship but I usually decline their advances because I know they'll be repulsed by me once I take my clothes off. I'm really hairy, and when I try to remove my body hair, my body breaks out into a horrible rash/pimples all over my body (folliculitis). I've tried all types of hair removal, but inevitably my skin ends up scarred and looking worse than before. I don't think I'll ever be able to have a relationship with a guy because I'm so gross. It's so frustrating because I have so many opportunities. What do I do?
Do you think it's normal?

You may have already tried this, but a dermatologist (skin doctor) is worth speaking to. They may have some suggestions so you can remove hair without doing damage to your skin.

As to your thought that all guys will be turned off to body hair that is not always the case. Female body hair videos are a popular fetish and guys would not be viewing such materials if it did not turn them on.

Shaving gel and a good men's razor (not disposable ones) should remove body hair easily, anywhere, without any damage to your skin. Just let the gel sit on your skin for two minutes and then shave very slowly.

If you are 36DD or better, I won't mind to "taste" you.

You must be Iranian.

Don't worry about the hair...just find a man who is even hairer and you can soon produce primate offspring.

Your gonna have to meet a guy that falls in love with you before he sees you naked. Which will help in getting into a committed relationship. Once he's smitten with you, you tell him about your hairiness and if he's truly in love then he won't mind.

Are you sure that laser hair removal isn't an option?

also check with an endocrinologist to see if you have any horomone imbalances

You could always do laser hair removal (Permanent hair reduction) (expensive) or waxing (cheap).

i have a birthmark on my thigh, and i was really scared of letting someone see it. but none of my boyfriends even mentioned it until i showed it to them. (it's smaller than a dime, on the side of my thigh... but it felt like it was as big as my thigh on my forehead.} it's ok

Has anyone else mentioned your hairiness? It may be that you exaggerate it in order to rationalize an irrationally low self image.

seriously, as long as the guy loves you he will accept your regardless, and he wont mind at all because he cares for you and wants to be with you. If not, more fool him, you deserve someone who will accept you as you are. Don't worry.
