I see it as a symbol of manliness to have hairy legs. Not the greatest symbol of manlieness, in fact I see it as a very small one, but a symbol of it none the less.
If any of my fellow men wish to shave their legs though it is their decision and I shall not think of them any better or worse for choosing to do so.

No. Some of my friends did it because they were were in Cross Country, and they claimed it effected their running somehow. As per my duty, I, and many others, mocked them mercilessly. If one of my friends shaved their legs because a GIRL said so....I can't even imagine. That's like a whole new dimensional plane of "Whipped".
I don't see why it has to be the norm for men to have hairy legs. I've shaved my legs on many occasions (most of them for theater, but whatever!) and I have to say, it feels better. I mean, I have naturally thick leg-hair, so it would always scratch against my pants, but after shaving, that problem was gone. I don't really do it much anymore, but I wouldn't say no if someone asked me to.
I've shaved my legs before, but then again sometimes I do like to pretend to be a lady 
I haven't in a while though because it takes a while to grow back

I shave my legs. I never see anyone glancing. 95% of the people I talk to are incredibly surprised upon learning that I'm gay (despite the fact that I'm pretty effeminate) and that hasn't changed since I started shaving, so I wouldn't worry about anyone assuming anything.
And if anyone ever DOES hassle you for it, just say that you're a cyclist, a wrestler, a swimmer, or a participant in pretty much any sport. You can also just say that you do it so people can see your leg muscles, which is a pretty damn manly reason.
As for the actual physical result, -I- like the way it looks, but I'm obviously not your target audience. Girls I know tend to be split on the issue, though it seems like yours is pretty decided. Do note that it takes some upkeep. Given that you shave everything else, I doubt it'd be a problem though.
Useful information for men: if women ever complain to you that shaving their legs is way worse than you having to shave your face, they are lying bitches. Never accept such an argument.

Well ask her why she wants you to. Personally, I wouldn't shave my legs, and I would wonder why my girlfriend would want me to- all the girls I've dated have liked more masculine things, instead of more feminine things like shaving legs, for example. There's being hairy, and then there's the usual body hair that all men have. Big difference between them.
Eh, it doesn't make you gay, that's for sure. It's just being clean-bodied. I shave (when I get the opportunity) simply because it's more sanitary. Really, I doubt that she wants you to keep them clear-cut every day of the year, trimming them down from redwood-height wouldn't hurt, no?metroidgearsolid said:Okay, GF wants me to shave my legs but i'm kinda in two minds about it. I shave everywhere else but i always thought that legs were a symbol of manhood. my friends haven't been too helpful either with split opinions (one thinks that its really hot while another thinks that shaving my legs will automatically make me gay
And more to the point, so what if it makes you look gay? Who are you trying to impress, seeing that it's your *girlfriend* that's asking?
Well, if you shave EVERYWHERE else, I don't really see why you should draw the line at the legs. Personally I've always taken more manly pride in chest hair. Really depends on where you feel comfortable and how much you're willing to let her dictate matters of hygene/personal appearance like that. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, she should accept that.
Look dude, I don't think legs are a symbol of manhood, but body hair definitely is. What possible reason could a non-professionally-swimming man have for shaving his leg hair? Women shave their legs, not men. Shit, some women don't even do it. Do you really want to have stubbly legs? Ask a woman: it's a pain in the butt. Why would you take that on if you don't have to, and why would your girlfriend want your legs shaved? When she's naked up against a man, she want to feel no body hair at all? I've got news for you ladies out there: men are hairy.
Shaving your legs isn't going to make you gay. If you have nothing against it, do it for her. If it drives you nuts, don't do it again once it grows back.
I don't see the big deal about "guys must have leg hair!" Whole thing seems stupid to me. There's no rule about what qualifies you as a man, like some of my friends seem to think about shit like this.
Just try it. I shave mine, and it doesn't feel weird or anything. People are just odd when it comes to stuff like guys shaving body hair for some reason. Give it a go. The shit grows back anyway. If you don't like ur legs being hairless, just let it grow back.

I find body hair sooo gross. xD I remember a teacher who had bushes for legs, that's how hairy they were.
