Dear Kathy,
I just met this terrific guy on the internet. We arranged to meet in the park this weekend. Are guys really offended by a gal who does not shave her legs? It is a family trait; we all have super hairy legs. If you were a guy, would this turn you off? By the way, I never had a boyfriend before so I'm hoping he is the one!

Dear "Lacey",
Thank you for your question. It's always a pleasure to hear from a fellow Scot- well, I assume you are Scotch, aren't you? The hairy-legs trait bit gave it away. Well, first, let me say that yes, hairy legs DO turn men off in this day and age. Go ahead and shave your legs before your first meeting. Then, wait until after he puts the engagement ring on your finger before you let the hair grow out again. He'll understand if he loves you enough to marry you. I think.
