I always thought it was because shaving fucking sucks.

[–]jimrosenz[S] 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That was the reason why I had a beard in my 20s. I was lazy.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I was lazy also, and shaving stuff costs money.

Do men need a reason to "grow a beard?"

It kinda just happens.

[–]iainmf 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They need a reason to shave.

[–]Sedrin98 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The men in my family go bald and grow beards. It's what we do.

I personally did it because it covers up half (at the beginning, fucking baldness) my face.

I grow my beard to try to be more attractive to the ladies. Not sure if it's working. "Patriachy" be damned.

[–]casemodsalt -1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

If you havent got laid recently then it's not.

You can't just magically get chicks by growing a beard

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, it's more complicated than that. I try really hard to sculpt my beard to make my jaw look square (like Brad Pitt), since it's well-established that this is the facial structure ladies tend to be drawn to. My beard still hasn't fully grown down from the top of my sideburns yet, so it's still thin enough that depending on the lighting you can see through it, which ruins the illusion.

But I do frequently get compliments from ladies on my beard, and I actually did get laid twice (and almost got a girlfriend) since growing the beard after having no luck for 2 and a half years (but they both weren't exactly catches, so I'm not sure if I could have gotten with them without the beard).

I keep telling myself that once my beard reaches full thickness I'll start having good luck, but it grows so slowly, and I'm starting to think more and more that there's just no way around the fact that I'm 5' 9.5" and so I'm gonna have to settle for someone I'm not particularly attracted to.

So men doing absolutely nothing to stop a natural process is an attempt to be dominant? That's sound reasoning. /s

[–]casemodsalt -1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah but the society norm is clean shaven, so not shaving, or getting tattoos, or piercings, etc, are still alternative.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm just lazy. But the wife likes my beard, I like my beard, and I keep it neat and tidy.
