Originally posted by Streakfury A lot of girls pluck their eyebrows, which is understandable if they're excessively hairy, but most chicks eyebrows aren't. Personally, I think it looks ugly when women pluck their eyebrows into non-existence, it's like they've got something missing from their face. Armpit hair, however, now that's a no-no!!

not every girl likes being "hairy", but some can't always control it, i had a friend who was diagnosed with this:

"Trichotillomania" also called "Pulling Your Hair Out".

it is estimated that more than 8 million Americans currently suffer from a form of compulsive hair pulling known as Trichotillomania (pronounced trick-o-till-o-mania). It is now believed females suffer more from trichotillomania (TTM) than males. TTM involves a compulsive pulling, and sometimes eating, of hair from the scalp, and other parts of the body, it really is not about the individual’s hair or how they feel about it.
Sufferers often insist “that they feel a sense of gratification after pulling out their hair”, most people who suffer from this behavior are usually not specifically upset with the condition or appearance of their hair. Some TTM patients report that the pulling is actually soothing, while others worry that stopping the pulling might trigger other compulsive behaviors like over-eating or drinking.
While some trichotillomaniacs or their families may worry about their mental health, in reality, they suffer from a potentially treatable impulse or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) similar to someone who can’t stop gambling, eating or washing their hands.

sorry about that MrS

i should have explained further that she had pulled out/plucked out all of her hair... everywhere.... but she is much better now, on medication and doing fine ...although she still doesn't have much hair.

another comment....sometimes tatooing the eyebrows is a way to control the arch or the appearance of the eyebrow, especially when the natural brow doesn't look right.

Actually, there's nothing worse than going to an 8am class with a middle-aged woman professor having excessive armpit hairs showing because of the damn fact that she wears clothing that don't cover her damn arms.
