Oh I understand, there is an expectation from men and women for women to remove some of their body hair. But to be 'grossed out' by the hair is something else - like a phobic response. Irrational. That's what I think is weird.
Also, if a woman doesn't want to shave, then most of us would think it unreasonable for their partner to pressure her into shaving. Same goes for a man being pressured. But if the person is happy to accommodate then I don't see an issue.
True, grossed out isn't normal... but from what I've seen and heard the amount of guys who are okay with girls not shaving is quite low.
True, my experiences are limited to my section of the internet + personal life experiences, not everyone's, but I've heard comments such as "I still think armpit hair on a woman is more terrifying than chemical warfare" (legit facebook quote there), I've had guys refuse to go down on me because I was "too hairy" (he hadn't shaved at all), I have gotten glares at my legs from the moment my leg hairs were visible (I have dark hair, so from about 10 I had to shave my legs to avoid visual persecution) and I've heard "any legitimate healthcare professional will tell you that pubic hair is a breeding ground for diseases and it's far more hygenic to shave them off" (but with much worse spelling)
If she's shaving for him though he should probably just shave for her, it's not that big of a deal.
Pubic Hair Trouble! IIN??

to be fair a large section of western men prefer the completely shaved look too. Of course, this extends to armpit and leg hair, not just pubic.
