I hate the chin wig craze so much. I've never been into beards, especially because some guys look significantly different without them and you have no idea till they shave.

THIS

Good. Cause I hate em😂

[–]RadioactiveJoyFDS Disciple 10 points11 points12 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They are somewhat helpful when picking people though. Since it’s popular, most guys that can will or have and I can better avoid them. Body hair is gross. Chest hair? Shoulder hair? Back hair? Guys with furry leggings? Nah no way.

[–]NoThisIs-Patrick 27 points28 points29 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is majestic.

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points31 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Never been attracted to a beard.

[–]nocturnalisFDS Newbie 7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Flashback to Family Guy episode where Peter had a beard and had a bird’s nest in it.

[–]jewdy09Pickmeisha™️ 22 points23 points24 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

How? My dogs stick their faces in each other’s butts and sometimes get in the trash. A dirty diaper or sanitary pad is a delicacy to some dogs. And they don’t ever wash their hands!

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points18 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think it's like human mouths having a lot of germs but the kinds of germs are less harmful than some other animals.

[–]-wide-set-vagina-FDS Newbie 9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Nah it mentions the beards have more human pathogenic strains than the dogs. My guess is it’s because of how often we touch our faces, mixed in with less airflow and more moisture in beards. Plus the average man has no idea how to wash his hands properly.

[+]Drunkscrewup3872 points 6 years ago [recovered] (8 children) | Copy Link

Don't test your cellphones then. That's a horror story and a half.

Or laptop keyboards.

I hate these kinds of articles, it's one of those things that you need to see the raw data + control in order to see what the real information is.

You see it in my field all the time "Scientists invent cloaking fields!!!!!*"

* Scientists find that the following materials kind of lower body temperature so that heat sensors sometimes see their temp as a bit lower.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I agree that men with beards are probably not as sanitary than those who aren’t- but I know the human mouth is considered dirty enough to be potentially lethal— from human bites.

[–]kaoutanuFDS Apprentice 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yep, this.

My friend got bitten by a human (because he was being a twunt and sticking his fingers where they weren't wanted... more male entitlement, sigh). He got such a bad infection that he ended up in the burns ward for infection control. The surgeon told him human bites are far more dangerous than dog bites.

I presume it's because bacteria on our mouths, hair, and skin lives on human skin cells anyway, and if given a chance to penetrate deeper (hur hur), all bets are off.

No I don't know how the bite victim turned out, because after that little escapade I returned him to the wild... (and no, I wasn't the biter, lol). There was no scandalous funeral so I assume he either learned a lesson or has gone on to lose other body parts!

[–]Ms_TillyRuthless Strategist 3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I actually tested my cell phone in biology class and got less bacteria than the other things I was required to test. I thought that was weird af

[–]NoThisIs-Patrick 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I think it's funny because the man I'm dating right now has a beard and thinks it's gross how much I snuggle my dog and when I let him lick my face.

It's not that deep.

[–]Drunkscrewup387Pickmeisha™️ -5 points-4 points-3 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I mean dog's mouths are horrifically dirty, in the article they tested the neck of the dog and the beard of men.

[–]NoThisIs-Patrick 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

it's gross how much I snuggle my dog

[–]Drunkscrewup387Pickmeisha™️ 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

and when I let him lick my face.

[–]NoThisIs-Patrick 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

That doesn't mean both are happening at the same time. Why are so salty about this? lmao

You don't have to make out with your keyboard or let your dog like your face.

edit: Most of the bacteria in your dog’s mouth are not zoonotic, which means you probably won’t get a disease from a big old doggy kiss. There are exceptions to this. Dogs that are fed a raw diet are at an increased risk of contracting salmonella, which can be spread to humans, and you really don’t want to share kisses with a dog that regularly raids the litter box. In other words, kissing your dog is less risky than kissing another human, but that does not mean that your dog’s mouth is necessarily cleaner than a human’s — he just has a mostly incompatible set of germs.

Uggghh

[–]chungkingxbricksFDS Newbie 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Damn I like me a good beard.

[–]AigonorusFDS Apprentice 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Same here!! Ardent beard hater here!!

Never understood the trend tbh. Clean shaven everywhere! Can't stand body hair at ALL.

It's unhygienic

Had a bearded bear teacher who just decided to start scratching his beard in the middle of the class.

I made the worst expression ever and he saw that. Decided to trouble me later. I just stopped attending his lectures for a few weeks.

F*cking bastard.

[–]ivy176FDS Disciple 7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They need to shampoo them, not just rinse their face. I like a small beard but every guy I've had, their beards smell like old milky cereal.

Ewwwww

[–]Lady_SchmoobleydongFDS Newbie 22 points23 points24 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Still love beards, a hairy man for this gal!

[–]dilligent_squatterFDS Newbie 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I think there’s definitely a difference between “good beard” and “bad beard.” I’m Jewish and Greek and I definitely have a predilection for very hairy guys from my similar background. BUT, for me personally anything less than impeccable hygiene for a hairy man is an absolute dealbreaker.

No scraggly-ass hipster Gandalf beards full of crumbs, no hairy ear holes or nostrils, etc. There’s a large difference between well-groomed, sexy hairy and stinky brillo pad mountain man hairy.🤢

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They tested 18 men and 30 dogs. Also they use the word "only" when saying that "only" 23 dogs out of 30 have the same germs as the bearded men. (While 23 dogs out of 30 is obviously the majority) It's still disgusting but to say dogs are cleaner than bearded men seems like a clickbait title to me.
