DEAR REDBOOK READER:
Yes, I notice all my weird hairs, rashes, and boils. I'm comfortable with my body and its imperfections. Most guys are much less disturbed by the things women find so gross on their own bodies, and unless we're single and trying to attract an easily repulsed member of the opposite sex, a lot of us let things slide.
