    Not looking like a redneck pedo would be the one that springs to mind.

    A half days stubble is the best hand scratching implement known to man.

    but what about when you are hungry and find a bacon sandwich in there at 3am and my GF likes when i scratch her with it.

    Can give 2 hand massage and use chin for that extra scratch!

    In fairness, you didn't specify that.

    What's a significant income?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc

    I think its the fact that you touch kids that makes you look like that. Not your beard, or lack thereof.

    You dont have to comb out dead insects from a beard when you come home from walking in the mountains.

    You can't go out walking in the mountains clean shaven though. You aint manly enough.

    Women might find your features more effeminate and less threatening thus leading to a greater chance of coitus


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,472 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    You look like you actually bothered with your appearance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Without a beard, you don't have to have that awkward conversation with your parents where you explain why you'll never provide them with grand-kids. They'll already know!

    biologically not technically true.

    when a woman is looking for a mate biology kicks in along with personal preference.

    they often look for someone to protect the family, the alpha male shall we say. effeminite features do not help in that regard.

    Just to clarify too, i don't mean that having a beard means instant success but it is something that is hard wired into our DNA.

    Beard/muscles/ruggedness whatever suggest a high presence of testosterone.
    A mans ability to produce and regulate optimal levels of testosterone (and all other hormones) is adventageous for survival and reproduction

    You 'real men have beards' loons need to get a grip. If you have a beard, it's because you're compensating for your lack-of elsewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    Having a beard is a sure sign of laziness in a person or they are in training for the Taliban:pac:.

    They are just too lazy to shave, cleanliness and hygiene is not their foremost feature.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭Real Life


    I have a pretty big beard, by the comments in this thread a lot of people would be surprised how many women love beards.

    You can't rub your beard, look philosophic and come up with an answer.

    You don't get all squishy when going down on the wife/girlfriend/casual encounter.

    That's all I can think of.

    Rubbing bare chin frantically

    why shave its just going to grow back, over and over and over again :pac:

    also there is the added benefit of not looking like a lady boy

    I wash and condition my beard everyday and also comb it numerous times throughout the day. Im probably the cleanest person i know so your argument is invalid.

    Do you shave your head too so, for hygiene?

    serious amount of jealousy in this thread.

    Having a beard makes it incredibly uncomfortable for me to wear a hurling helmet, made even worse by the fact i have eczema.

    I like the last bit:

    There’s no doubt that many in the Special Forces community will be angered, but General Mattis is convinced.
    “It’s settled science. In light of this information we will enforce a rule requiring all males to wear at least one inch of facial hair at all times. Furthermore, any females able to grow facial hair are encouraged to do so as well.”
