Why did G-d create us with facial and other hairs

That we need to constantly remove and pay to have it permanently removed. There must be a reason!

Why do we live in a society that says that we are b'tzelem elokim but then goes on to say that only certain looks and body types are acceptable?

Because we don't have to remove.
It's a protection. Eyebrow protects eye
Hair protects head

I'm thinking that with all the suffering G-D put into this world, there will be several other questions we'll ask him first after 120.

I'm more interested in asking Hashem why I have to get my period years before I'm ready to get married, or even am physically developed enough to safely carry a baby.
(and other things about the female reproductive system going wrong).
Plus stuff about women in halacha.

I really want to know this too. And why is leg hair and armpit hair considered disgusting?

Op I agree!

Why do boys (and girls) mature and have wet dreams, way before they get married?

Hair is almost like a sensory organ. It allows you to feel something before it actually touches your skin. That can be very helpful.

I am aware of that, but still not an explanation. Most boys are not fit to get married at 15. And most girls are not fit to get married at 13.

Why do we need periods. And why do we need to become unclean from it?
An after birth or miscarriage etc when we need it the most, why are we not allowed to get a hug from our husband?

I wish I knew, but what we do know is that tsar/pain is not in vain & that nothing is too silly to be considered pain in hashem's eyes. Early puberty & body hair was of the most difficult experiences I've had in life & I've been through plenty.

So facial hair I do remove when I remember to but why would I remove hair anywhere else? No one sees my feet or my underarms or anything else and everyone has hair there. Most people I know are the same way. There are plenty of laser companies, but it's a new thing and mostly for younger women. I didn't realize how widespread removing hair is until reading it online here.

I must remove my facial hair. Or else I'd have a thick black mustache, thick black beard, thick black sideburns & hair all over the place.
