I sometimes wonder why men grow beards. Are they curious about how it will look? Spouse/girlfriends asks them to? Get tired of shaving? Trying a new look? Seeing if it will attract women? Why? You've got some of the reasons covered but I think the main reasons are; they're lazy (grow a beard and shave your head and you can shower every couple of weeks weather you need to or not). When you're a kid you look forward to the day you can grow decent facial hair so I think it's a holdover from that. They think it's trendy/cool (esp the stupid chin strap and Abe Lincoln look the young ones do). My late mother always used to say when seeing a guy with a beard "he looks like he could use a good scrubbing"! I've never liked it myself, I'll be 64 in Sept and as you all can see by my pics here (that are within a year old) I'm fortunate that most people guess me to be younger. I can age myself about 20 years by not shaving for a week or two since my beard is mostly white, yuck. I'm NOT, NOT, NOT into guys at all but my favorite TV series HELL ON WHEELS stars Anson Mount and when he's in his "Cullen Bohannon" character he has a short beard and is someone that I think looks great with it. JMO and we'll see how many people this pizzes off........ Well if you ask bearded men, I doubt many of them would say they have a beard because they're lazy. Some have a beard to make themselves look older, others because they like how it enhances their looks, and then there are those who grow facial hair in the cold-- keeps them warm. |

Of course they're not going to admit to being lazy. I'm sure some of your boys do it to look older. If it enhances their looks,fine. The cold thing is BS unless you have a very, very serious beard to make much difference when it's cold. I believe trendy and following the fads is absolutely number one. But then the more mature you are the less you tend to follow those things i.e., the really young dorks with the extremely goofy facial hair. |

Simply laziness or trends, oh yeah, and BS for cold; and looks is the only legitable reason. Too funny. Why do you think a lot of women don't shave their legs when it gets cold? It does add a layer of warmth/protection; just like length of hair makes a difference. That's why a lot of women cut their hair off for the summer and vice versa. Anyway, interesting debate. |

I think you're right about leg hair and by extension, beards. When I was about twenty, I lost a bet and had to shave my legs and boy, did I feel the cold

For one thing I don't believe that a man HAVING leg hair always and then shaving it is a fair comparison.
As I said a really serious heavy beard could help a bit in the cold. Having spent a considerable amount of time in Europe I'm familiar with women not shaving their legs and I suppose it's just a matter of personal opinion; mine would be a woman with heavy enough leg hair to insulate her from the cold significantly is not one I care to see. Obviously hair on your head is another matter that most of us can relate to. Having had hair varying in my lifetime from halfway down my back to my current length I know that long hair (on your head) can certainly make a difference especially in the heat. Admittedly I have no shaved head experience to draw from as that's not something I would ever do willingly. |
