Feel like you're getting squeezed out? A little insecure?

Scientists think they may have solved one of the great mysteries of the age. Why are so many of today's men growing beards?

The answer, according to The University of Western Australia researchers, is because men are feeling under pressure from other men and are attempting to look aggressive by being more flamboyant with their whiskers.

Published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour, Dr Cyril Grueter and colleagues were investigating the idea that in big societies, male primates have developed increasingly ostentatious "badges" which may enhance male sexual attractiveness to females and give them the edge over other males.

These include cheek flanges in orang-utans, elongated noses on proboscis monkeys, upper-lip warts in golden snub-nosed monkeys - and beards on humans.

Okay, let us see who here has gone ape for the ladies...

I've had my beard for nearly fifty years.

<---

Sometimes it is fashionable. Most times it's not.

It has been white for well over a decade.

When I first grew it, I don't think it was a great idea to combine it with a flat-top crew cut.

I think one is required now to shave one's head...



I do not know. I have gone native for years and I cannot really grow a beard. :shrug:

Edit comment:


That was the required haircut when I was a lad... late 50s, early 60s. Throw in the cig pack rolled up into your t-shirt sleeve.

Females select male traits. If we're growing beards female taste is behind it. The idea guys decide anything is absurd.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

There is that...

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

There is that...

It works both ways. Just yesterday I read a socialist science article of how males prefer a particular body proportion ratio for females. The gals wanna look like Olive Oyl but the guys prefer a chunkier chicken.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I prefer a willing warm wet mouth...



Beards need not apply!

You need to move to Indiana. The new law allows gigilos a legal right to reject male customers. The world is upset about it, because its egregious discrimination, but plenty said WHEW! when the law became official.

If anyone in the GOP was lucid they'd call the law the I AINT TAKIN IT UP THE ASS NO MO LAW.

I grow mine because of sheer bloody laziness.

Hows about this motto:

STICK YOUR GAY BUSINESS UP ANGIES ASS, NOT MINE.

I noticed you did not comment on the demise of your fellow Marine the Vettebigot yesterday.

Is this a Marine thing?

"Fuck him, he's gone, I'm still here....that's #WhatMattersMost. Oooooooh-rah!"

U_D is chiming in too now.

I find it odd when they pair it with the "hitler youth" haircut.

Dear macho fuckers,

I am not fuzzy because I am trying to challenge you for the biggest monkey in the cage award.

I am just being lazy and did not shave this morning.


Love,
Pete

Yep, that's pretty much me too. But when I said it, apparently I'm trolling AJ.

 

[FGB]

I guess I missed that memo.

I grow or shave off facial hair according to my thoughts and mood. I have less now than in my AV.

True, I have less hair on my head than I did when I was younger but I'm not shaving my head if I was promised all the pussy I could deal with 24/7/365!

Females are fucking nuts, their taste in anything and mind changes like the west Texas wind.

I stopped worrying about what they thought and why a long time ago.

The Cap'n is too busy playing victim to actually READ the posts he assumes are trolling him.

I had a mustache for years, wore a goatee for a few years as well. Once beards started popping up all over the place I shaved them both.

My grooming habits aren't subject to the latest trends, neither is my wardrobe. More often than not I stay away from the "latest and greatest" just to remain an individual.

Kid in the middle. There's some barberology name for it, but I call it the hitler youth.

When I read that article yesterday, my first response was "because it's cute to look like you're a man on the outside but believe in emasculated political ideologies".

My chin looks better with a mullet.
