i used to be forced to shave my legs a lot by my family and they still constantly comment on my hairy legs, but having hairy legs makes me feel more masculine. the guy i like, however, doesn't wanna pressure me, but also wants me to shave my legs. should i do it?

I'm a cis guy.

I used to shave my legs for fencing and swimming. I didn't mind how they look or felt, but I'd get weird comments about em looking feminine. Didn't like that. My legs, not yours, none-ya-business.

Same to you, dude. Shave em, don't shave em, it's really up to you. It's no one else's business how you wanna wear your body.

I did swimming and fencing in the distant past. I shaved for swimming (to reduce drag) but I haven't heard of anyone shaving for fencing. What benefits does it have?
