The real reason men grow beards
The real reason men grow beards
You might think all the facial hair you’re seeing on the street is a way of attracting a mate. It might not be so simple.
How about "it's easier then shaving everyday"?
Yea. You can go 3 weeks without trimming and it just looks kinda full. You can go one day before a clean shave looks like you don't care about it.
It still ends up being more work than I’d hoped for (which was 0), but certainly less than staying clean shaven. That and my wife really likes it are my two biggest reasons.
Exactly. My lazy ass shaves every 2 to 3 weeks when it starts itching. In the summertime more often since a beard sucks when you try to wipe your sweat off....
this is me. would keep in summer but it just gets uncomfortable. have a lot of stubble through the summer.
It's not about hiding a weak jaw line? Jokes aside, it is interesting that a lot of the masculine activities we may have naively agreed were intended to attract women, are to repel other men and avoid competition.
Well what does my mustache say? That I'm sad the craft beer bubble burst?
My kid didn't think I look enough like a real dad so he harangued me until I grew a beard. And hey it grew on me and eventually even on my wife. Well you know what I mean.
Then it grew on the dog. It grew on the couch. It grew on the house and the neighborhoid block. It grew on the town, the county, the state. It grew on the Earth, the sun, all the way to Oort cloud. When it grew on Sagittarius A* we stopped keeping track.
With a little more ridiculous imagery, that could've been a Shel Silverstein poem.
Well, except he didn't write it...
Aggressive growth...
When I shaved my cats wouldn't let me pet them. I couldn't deal with that kind of rejection.
Lol, you looked like someone else to them? Don't cats identify via nose too?
It would probably even more upsetting to have someone smell like your
servantowner without looking like him.Imagine if someone spoke to you sounding exactly like your mother but looking nothing like her
I have a beard because my fiancé says I have to keep it. I'd have a stubble face (clippers only, no razors) every day if I could.
Wtf
There have been a lot of articles about men's beards since hipsters started rocking full beards in the last couple of decades, and they're often loaded with opinions against it. It's usually not more scientifically interesting than asking "why animals grow hair". They do, and nobody really cares enough to ask "why".
I'd rather like to know "the real reason men shave". That's somewhat more interesting, because it's something humans have created and there ought to be a reason why.
BBC still asks users to follow them on google+ ...

Also, shaving hurts.
WHAT? You're definitely doing it wrong if it hurts.
And expensive.
Its easier to just maintain beard with a pair of scissors.
Expensive? My friend, buy a safety razor and you'll spend $6 on 25 blades that'll last you 7 months, if you're shaving every day and changing the blade once a week.
These are the blades I use:
