I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.
I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

this is a little weird, but what percentage of people do you think shave "down there"? would you suggest it (link)

I think that it's quite common for teenage females to shave. As women get older, though, I would suggest that less and less women shave.
Many people shave because they want to be seen in a sexual way by others, or because they are not confident with their own bodies. (Of course, some shave because they like it!)
As people gain in confidence and experience, they realise that shaving actually isn't needed to have a good relationship with another person or themselves - and they also realise that it's not as common as they once thought.
Shaving is a big commitment in terms of upkeep and possible discomfort from razor burn. Some people choose to just shave their bikini line (what's not covered up by panties/bathing suit bottom), and some people trim their hair. Many do nothing.
I notice a lot of people immediately say a guy won't like you if you don't shave - how ridiculous. If a guy is basing his feelings towards you depending on the amount of pubic hair you have or haven't got, I would suggest the relationship probably isn't worth much.
I wish you the best.
