I only shave when I wear a sleeveless formal. Hair just looks weird with a frilly dress you know?
Underarm hair has a very similar purpose to pubic hair. It protects your skin from irritation in a high-friction area and provides a barrier against bacteria and fungus growing in the warm, moist environment that is your armpit. You know how a lot of bare pits start turning yellow? Yeah, that's a fungal infection. Pretty gross, right? And don't even get me started on ingrown hairs. Ouch.
My point is, why spend your time and energy worrying about being hairless when you could be doing something more productive? It's a silly double-standard that society imposes upon us. Don't worry about what others think. You just do what you feel comfortable doing.
geekchic42, its great that you for the main part don't shave your arm pit hair or pubic hair. You say that you shave only when wearing a sleeveless formal dress. My wife has never shaved ever either arm or pubic hair, we went to a wedding and she was not ashamed to wear a formal evening dress for that occasion. No person bothered about the fact that she had hairy arm pits, its not as if she was going around with her arms up in the air, I only noticed once when she did lift them up a little to sort a head hair that had got into her eye, so even if you go to something formal, just make sure that you don't lift up your arms, that way no one will bother you.
