      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.

    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.
