I don't bother with my eyebrows, I don't have a monobrow so I don't feel the need to do anything with them. And I kind of like my arm hair, I've shaved them before in my early teens and I thought they looked like alien arms.

As a kid, I used to hate my arm hair, because the other kids commented on it from time to time. The hairs are pale, and I learned to accept them - I don't like them, but they're there. My eyebrows, however, are plucked every other day - my hair is light blonde, but my eyebrows are dark brown, and most of the hairs are ridiculously long and thick, so they seem really bushy and in-your-face (which is odd, since they're in my face), even if there aren't that many hairs. I didn't start plucking them until I was 16 or 17, and I've increased the amount of plucking and cutting over the years, finding my "true" eyebrows last year. I don't mind plucking them, but when I pull out a thick hair, I often bleed a little, and that's not very nice... But I feel like I have to do it - I don't feel too good about my looks, and I feel that I have to do what I can to improve myself... When that's said, I think everyone should do as they like with their hair (no matter where on the body it is), and there's certainly nothing wrong about keeping what one was born with :-) Also, overplucked brows or heavy, drawn brows are awful - I once, at work, had to help a lady who had two sets of eyebrows - shaven off, stubby brows where there was supposed to be hair, and thick, dark purple ones drawn almost a a centimetre above them. I have no idea what she'd be aiming at, but it looked so weird that I hardly could keep myself from smiling like an idiot :oops:

I went through a phase in which I plucked my eyebrows myself. Since the result of that effort looked very odd I quickly stopped doing it.
I don't shape my eyebrows anymore and the thought of going to a professional to have them done freaks me out.

Neat "heavy" brows are actually pretty fashionable. They frame your face better than anything and it's a look not everyone can do.
I fill mine in a little extra because I like the look of it.
