, I'd say, from what I observed from my Taiwanese roomates, that they had so little hair in their legs that they just "forgot" to shave. They did not think it was relevant, not for dates, maybe special occassions, like graduations or maybe weddings. Otherwise, their reaction was like "what?". But then this is a younger generation that has never heard of panty hose. Personally, since I am Latina, and I do have the Congo forest growing in winter, summer daily leg shaving is de rigueur. Down South of the Border, I am all for clean landscaping, but no slash and burn techniques, especially in this heat. That said, I do not know how anybody, man or woman, can live with a full blot of fur in their armpits in this weather. That's gross, unhygenic and definetively will stink. I am a fan of chest and back carpets, though, but I've seen things hanging from the underarms that I wish I had not seen...
that doesn't mean they care about mine!! And I am not that hairy to begin with so I've never bothered cleaning up my arms (or chest or back or face) but I do understand women who would like to. As Salma Hayek (for her frida interview) once said, 'to a lot of people romance means thin and no hair'.
A woman says it and it is porn and for so long you guys were beating about the ermmm bush that was discussion, eh? 
Sorry, here they love Kitty Catty ...
