An anonymous text message exchange is going viral after an Aussie man claimed that a particular type of body hair on a woman is a relationship deal breaker for him.
Members of a popular Australian Facebook group where women share anything and everything have been left shocked after a member anonymously posted a text she received from a guy she is dating.
“It is 2026, and men are still trying to dictate how we should look, and they wonder why there is a male loneliness epidemic,” the post reads.
It starts normally enough, the man texted her good morning, but then he declares that he would like to be “upfront” about something that is a “deal breaker” for him.
“I’m not comfortable with visible body-hair on forearms, and I find it a turn-off,” the text reads.
“I completely understand if that does not work for you. No pressure at all. I’d rather just be honest early.”
The anonymous woman texted back and let him know she wasn’t impressed.
“Yeah, I’m not going to let anyone dictate anything about my appearance,” she wrote.
“That’s actually really gross on your part. Goodbye.”
In a surprise twist, the man shrugged off the goodbye and asked if she’d still like to go on a date.
“Absolutely not,” she wrote back.
She then explained that she believed he’d use AI to try to be respectful, but it backfired.
“The audacity to think I would still want to go on a date with you is absolutely astounding,” she texted back.
“My arm hair and I will stay home together and have a much better time.”
The anonymous dating text exchange immediately sparked a lot of debate in the group.
Some were certain that the man was using AI, and others were just surprised that a man even notices arm hair.
The post has over 400 comments and counting.
“Arm hair? Good grief,” one wrote.
“I don’t know how it has come to this. Imagine our grandfathers giving two hoots about female arm hair,” someone else mused.
“The way I just screamed in my phone and threw it,” another joked.
“Real men do not care about body hair,” someone else argued.
“The audacity of some men makes me sick,” another fumed.
“He probably used AI. These aren’t his words,” one theorised.
“If he is going to be weird about a completely natural thing, the least he can do is type it up himself and not copy it from ChatGPT,” another claimed.
Other members of the group came out in the man’s defence, pointing out that even if he did use AI, he had made the effort to be kind.
“How would you have preferred it? Seems like he was trying to be as kind as possible?” One asked.
“As crappy as it is. I think he was pretty respectful about,” someone else pointed out.
“There is no way to be respectful about it. It is disrespectful even mentioning it,” another fired back.
“If he is going to be weird about a completely natural thing, the least he can do is type it up himself and not copy it from ChatGPT. Coward,” one claimed.
