    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.

    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

    In your shoes I'd probably go for the beard too.

    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.”

    Are there any bearded men that grow their beard for a reason other than to establish their male identity?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 130 ✭✭V123


    I am a women and my husband has a beard, always has since Ive known him.

    when we were getting married, friends kept asking me if I was going to get him to shave it for the day! I was thinking 'no', 'why'

    I don't get the problem with beards, I like them :)

    also most women I know have at least admitted that they do like 3-4 day stubble!

    It eliminates the need for an effeminate scarf.

    Genetics are more relevant than testosterone levels. Africans have 20% higher testosterone levels than Caucasians but less facial hair (possibly due to the partial Neanderthal heritage of the latter)
