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?
How about “it’s easier then shaving everyday”?
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…
Appealing to prospective partners is not why I have a beard. Improving my standing with other men is not why I have a beard.
I have a beard because…I like it. It’s for me. I was clean shaven for a year for a job and hated it so much I quit.
There can be other, individual reasons especially for “like”, but that and “beauty” have a strong link to evolution. For example, a wolf wouldn’t find a bowl of fruits beautiful.
What do you think exists “like” and “beauty” for?
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.
My wife originally hated my beard, and now she doesn’t like me clean shaven. I guess she got so used to it that any time I shave she says she prefers me with facial hair.
Some people do look better with beard. Not that’ it is a bad thing, me too. Well, “beard”, 5mm.
