Overall, I probably have preferred smooth. I think it is because it is for the most part opposite of what I am. However, there are times that if I am going on vacation I will have some parts of myself waxed. At first it was painful, then I go to like it. Also, once it is done it is cleaner (particularly when I want to do particular acts.). But in the end, if the person has other qualities, the non-hairy mandate may get thrown out.
